I absolutely wish Keith and the Stones would mix it up more.
I've seen every tour since 1975, spent thousands and thousands of dollars, and 75% of the songs are the same each tour for the last 30 years.
When I listen to the bootlegs I'm lucky to find 3 or 4 songs on each one that I actually WANT to hear. For me, I just don't care to listen to Brown Sugar on any boots anymore. I never get tired of the studio version of Brown Sugar (or Ya Ya's...) but on my boots I'm scrolling thru to find things like Monkey Man, Dancin w/ Mr. D, etc and I'm skipping most of the warhorses.
I mean, how many times can you listen to a live version of Honky Tonk Woman? Press skip...
The Stones catalog is way too big to limit the setlist like they do.
With tickets in the $100 to $300 range they need to play the warhorses AND mix it up. 50% warhorses for the first timers and 50% something different for ME.
To play Sway once this tour and then get scared because not enough people recognized it is ridiculous.
Having said all that I'll be there for the next tour too.
Jumping up and down with a huge smile on my face when Keith breaks into Brown Sugar!
