Rarest Song You've Seen The Stones Play Live (And How Many Times Has It Been Played)?

Not counting LIAGT (15x; all last year) and Trouble's a' Comin (4x; all last year) what is the rarest song you've seen The Stones play live?

Mine is Mercy, Mercy (cover played 35x; once since 1969)

Stones song: Connection (played 38x)

The Nashville 2021 show I attended possibly had the last Trouble’s a’ Comin ever and also had the first Connection in 15 years. I’ve been pretty lucky in my measly 3 shows.

I’ve mentioned it before, but my uncle saw Sweet Black Angel live, the only time it was ever played. Don’t think they’ll bring that one back!

Come On, Toronto 2013.

I think "I'll Go Crazy" which they played on the Bigger Bang tour, I wasn't expecting that at the time and was trying hard to figure out what song it was, ofcourse it was a James Brown tribute after his passing, could'nt really place it

For me probably she was hot in Seattle

Chantilly Lace, Hannover 1982. I was glad to hear it again, when they released Wembley '82. So far, we only had audience recordings. They played it 25 times.

According to that list, for me it was Just Your Fool (21 times), Ride em on Down (26 times) and of those that aren't covers, Dancing with Mr D. (35 times)

Errm I guess.... Waiting on a Friend.

I Wanna Be Your Man
Going Down

Didn't they play Walk And Don't Look Back at Aragon as well?

Fool To Cry, 2018. A rarity these days, though it has been played 54 times total according to setlist.fm.

And oh yeah, I was at Paris #2 in 2017, so put me down for Hate To See You Go!

I left off the last few singles and Blue and Lonesome tracks. There’s also a few like Thief in the night, Route 66 and others that were played around he 50 times mark I left off

Why not Trouble's A Coming? I thought that was pretty cool personally.. Ok, thems your rules:

Non-Stones song: Kansas City (2) in Kansas City 2015
Stones song: probably Shine A Light (21) in Raleigh 2015

Waiting On A Friend in '81 should be a close second

Because they just started playing it and I assume many here went to a show last year. That’s all. Didn’t want to see that as an answer for many. Wanted to get a good mix of answers. Has nothing to do with me liking that song. I loved TAC and LIAGT live too!
