I really enjoyed 19th Nervous Breakdown in 2022

One more that got a few plays then dropped in 2021 which I personally loved, but you could tell the crowd just wasn't having it: Trouble's A Comin'

Fairly bold move this late to play a cover song only released as a bonus track from a reissue.

I don't know if it was a highlight; but Let Me Go from the 1981/82 tour was a one off I think.

“songs that were played regularly on only tour then dropped” hence a one-off rarity, e.g. She Smiled Sweetly, should be excluded by definition.

If you allow me to pick one that was played on a semi-regular basis (a dozen times or so during the initial phase of the tour), it goes to One Hit (To The Body) from the Steel Wheels U.S. tour 1989. Quite exited to hear the song live at Pittsburg (my first Stones show) and then at Cincinnati. Pity they completely dropped it thereafter.

Yeah, would love to see One Hit reappear!

If that was a highlight that's pretty sad.

I can think of a few not mentioned already.

Hound Dog in 1978.

The Fox Theater show in 1981 was smoking.

2000 light years was a surprise in 89. Nothing like Little Red Rooster and Boogie Chillun from Atlantic City. Those songs were two of the best guest appearances. I would also say Salt of The Earth but Axl ruined it.

Brand New Car in 1994. Paradiso, Olympia, Brixton.

Crazy Momma in 1997.

1999 - Some Girls, Moonlight Mile

Licks tour had a few as well. The entire Cleveland show.

ABB- Back of My Hand.

2012- Around and Around and I Wanna Be Your Man. Too many guests broke up the flow of the PPV. I wish they had let Mick Taylor and Bill play one song together like in 69-73. A very sad missed opportunity.

Not much since. Mercy Mercy in DC was a highlight and of course Out of Time.

Sway (2006)
Bob Wills is still the king (2006)
2000 lightyears (2013)
All over now (2014, Werchter)

I loved Fool To Cry which they only played here in Berlin at the Waldbühne on the Sixty Tour in '22.

Fool To Cry for me as well London Stadium May 2018 and OOT as well Hyde Park 2022. Great sing a long and I can well imagine Mick being disappointed if it didn't "take" in the US

Love Train in 2002 was pretty damn cool.
Crazy Mama in 1997 blew me away.

These are the ones I heard them playing. I always liked to hear rarities. In 1990 I realy liked I Just Want To Make Love To You. In 2022 I was very, very happy with 19th Nervous Breakdown, Rocks Off and I was thrilled by Out Of Time.
Keith played some very nice rare tunes over all those years. I Wanna Hold You, You Got The Silver and I always like Slipping Away, Before They Make Me Run and Happy as regular tunes.

1982: Twenty Flight Rock, Going To A Go Go,

1990: 2000 Lightyears From Home, Bitch, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Factory Girl

1995: Shine A Light, Live With Me

1998: Little Queeny, Little Red Rooster, Under My Thumb, Ruby Tuesday, Love Is Strong

1999: Live With Me, Memory Motel, Respectable, Route 66

2005: Night Time Is The Right Time, Sway

2014: Waiting On A Friend

2017: Play With Fire, Dancing With Mr.D, Under My Thumb

2018: She's A Rainbow

2022: 19th Nervous Breakdown, Rocks Off, Out Of Time, Ruby Tuesday

2000 Light Years would be my first choice.

Time Is On My Side which has only been played twice since the 1981-2 tour. But to be fair according to set list it has been played live over 140 times but mostly in 1965 and 66. It is still my favorite Stones cover song and it really shines when the Stones play it live.

The thread theme is a contradiction. If a song is played only one tour, and none thereafter, it is usually not a "highlight". If you find a gem you just don't drop it.
Maybe the right word is "hidden treasure" or something, instead?

Ps Or "one tour wonders"? Ds

Out Of Time is close, though. It was definitely a highlight on the euro tour.

However, it was hard for Mick to sing and they dropped after one US show.

I believe they played it the 60s, though.

I agree about Out Of Time, Dandelion. It was a gem. And a good reminder of their 60s pop songs heritage.

Kansas City live - Zip Code Tour

Fool to cry was great on the 1976 tour, not only for the performance but also for the atmosphere. This ballad fitted great into the setlist.

Nearness of You 2003
Doom And Gloom 2013
Emotional Rescue 2013
Play With Fire 2017
Hate To See You Go 2017
Dancing With Mr D 2017
