Fanfare For The Common Man is pretty high up on my list.
Imagination.

"Pass it on" (Keith talking about the music)

what was the VL one like?

I think Fanfare For The Common Man is best also the way Keef blends in the LONG LONG HTW intro notes that last for about one minute. He did that long intro in 75 & 78, somewhat in 81, but I don't think he's done it before or after.

In 69 and 89&after it sounds closer to the record.

don't give me that ole one two, one two three four

-Fanfare for the common man
-Continental Drift into Start Me Up

VL!!!!!!!!!!

How 'bout the Dean Martin intro from Ed Sulivan.....that's my favorite!!!!!!

And yes I'm old enough to remeber watching Sulivan on a b&W TV.

The "Voodoo Lounge" tour intro was incredible with a bunch of percussion that settled into Charlie doing the Bo Diddley beat into "Not Fade Away." Then, the guitars and Jagger's harp.

Right after "Not Fade" would end, the Stones would launch immediately into "Tumbling Dice." It was as if the entire first song of the night was the intro--and a statement of pride and purpose.

I didn't appreciate it enough at the time (I was blown away by the 1989 "Continental Drift"/"Start Me Up" intro) but I now think the '94 intro was probably their boldest ever--and their most important as a message.

Proof positive that a "different" song can be very effective at a key moment in a Stones show.

The "No Security" intro was a kick as well. I think people are forgetting what a sensational tour that really was.

Hands down: The "Introduction" to the 71/72 Exile/Sticky Fingers vintage tours...

It was just the lights go down then when the spotlights come on there's the stones except MJ... then Jagger comes runnin' in from the right and they hit the opening chords to Brown Sugar...

Your mind is tryin' to take it in like "wtf is this" but the music was just TOO FAST... nothing better in rockville.

"It's just that demon life has got me in it's sway..."
