You mean the quietly played Tracks from the 'Tape' before the opening act hits the stage?
Some have been mentioned here but I cannot find them at the moment.

What a surprisingly pedestrian selection that is. You'd think they'd just play some good reggae or something. Actually, I think that's what I remember them doing when I saw them in 1978.

David Bowie's "Fame" and "Suffragette City" come to mind from 2018, or maybe 2017 as well?

Also, I think that Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town" got played closer to showtime.

They should connect the little stereo that Keith has in his dressing room to the big stadium speakers.

I remember hearing „Tell Me Something Good“ many times before Stones shows. Chaka Khan and Rufus, as I would recall. Might have come from a boombox in Camp X-Ray

1981 JFK.....song playing as the Stones were announced was "Alright Now" by Free
Also in 81 was "Take the A Train" as captured on 'Still Life'.
I also remember "The Clash's" Should I Stay or Should I go" I can't remember what year.

I remember St. Paul and the Broken Bones' Call Me being played ahead of the No Filter Shows in Europe. Listening to these songs brings back memories...

I remember one night in Detroit, just before they hit the stage, the Temptations song "Ball of Confusion" was playing, and I think the only reason I remember that is that it seemed just so perfect. A tune by the Temps for a show in Detroit, the lyrics still resonating, decades after it was recorded, even the line "The Beatles new record's a gas" made sense because they had just released the Anthology collection.
And then there was Melvin Franklin's booming voice, intoning the five words that could easily be the summation of the Stones entire career: "And the band played on .... "

Also during Licks...I think I recall hearing Bob Dylan's Gates of Eden throughout the tour...could have been another early tune though...
edit: Listening now, and 99% sure it was indeed Gates of Eden...or maybe 50% sure...it could have been Queen Jane Approximately....
