Yeah we all love those songs but I think the time and climates right to drop them from the set.The guys appear to be kicking off 2006 with a new found confidence.So why not ditch these well played warhorses and try:

Around and around
Come on
Carol
Parachute woman
Let it rock
Highwire

HA!

Spot on Mr Stargroover!

Going by the lame audience participation at Stones gigs these days, it's not as if the atmosphere could actually get any quieter by getting shut of the autopilot warhorses.

The only thing thats gonna drop is me when I finally nod off from reading these threads!
Obviously they aint gonna leave out their most famous songs cause a few die-hard fans are bored of them.....

Glad to see some new stuff in the setlist (Memory, Love Is Strong, Gimme), but I doubt these two are going anywhere.

Why stop there? Why not the whole Chuck Berry songbook?

Brown Sugar is the single biggest sacred cow for me. The intro...the whoo, whoo whoosssss at the end. You just can't drop that song.

My thoughts exactly.

They can NOT drop Brown Sugar. I don't care how many times I've heard it...I want to hear it again.

a stones concert without Brown sugar? No way.
doing the yeah, yeah, woo is simply the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
I do think the band should play more straight forward rock and roll like the ones listed but please dont drop BS!

juiced up and sloppy

The two I would drop are Miss You and SFTD. Glad they added LIS and LSTNT but MY and SFTD have been way overplayed!

DiMaggio, when asked why/how he still could go all-out at his age, responded that maybe there was some kid seeing him play for the first time and he owed that kid his best (or, something to that effect).

Some kid seeing the Rolling Stones for the first time deserves to hear Brown Sugar and Start Me Up. If people who have been to 8 billion shows are sick of hearing them or think there's no magic in them anymore, or whatever your gripes about them may be, they're being played for that kid, not for you.

Don't think the band still gets off on playing them, but would it be fair to "that kid" if they left them out?

You must be kidding...Parachute Woman istead SMU????????, are you crazy?, do you want to see a crow sleeping?

Impossible to drop my Brown Sugar. I've got to hear him whip the women just around midnight. That's what gets my Rocks Off.

I think they should play Brown Sugar with an acoustic instead of an electric guitar. We play it that way sometimes, and it really breathes life into the song....it's risky though

Rolling Stones Tribute

Play Rolling Stones

Dump Midnight Rambler, Miss You, Honky Tonk Women, Sympathy For The Devil,
Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, You Can't Always Get What You Want,
You Can't Always Get What You Want, You Can't Always Get What You Want and Satisfaction.
Suffices to keep Jumping Jack Flash.

That gives plenty of free slots to be filled with new songs from ABB. Such as It Won't Take
Long, Neo Con, Laugh I Nearly Died etc. pp.

Please be kidding...

they've played brown sugar since 70. they'll never drop it.

"they've played brown sugar since 70. they'll never drop it."

Well, how bloody conservative! I say "Take them off"!

Try on some new apparel.

But if they must play BS, why not make it fresh by putting it somewhere forward in the set?

Less formula. More Rock'n'Roll.

They opened the Licks stadium shows with BS.

i can deal with bs and smu if i get worried about you or memory notel or gimmie shelter or sway or respectable or dead flowers or sweet virginia in chicago!

I think Dylan is the only artist that can change the setlist completely, and not play any "hits", with success.

They can't drop Brown Sugar -- they have that vid of the babe fondling the empire state building.

most amusing thread

the award goes here

"i can deal with bs..."

wow, great, i don't think we can't get any further than that

"They can't drop Brown Sugar -- they have that vid of the babe fondling the empire state building."

Which is basically saying, "They can't be rock'n'roll because their stage show is ruled by videos", (rather than by music).

Bob Dylan still throws in a good number of Greatest Hits - but maybe cos he feels like playing them and less because the crowd (or a video-screen) demand it.

I just love Brown Sugar. Just watched the Four Flicks Twickenham version. Wow!

i must be dreaming or gone nuts

it is really happening

rolling stones fans that argue about brown sugar

why don't they drop all their songs ever played on the radio and call it a bigger snooze tour.

no matter what they do or play someone here will cry like a little girl.
