Want to hear KR play "Before They Make Me Run" (although did enjoy Infamy in the '05 shows)

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!

Keith looks bored stiff and Keith is very boring

It's hard to say that he's boring - seems like a pretty interesting character to me.

New opportunities.Exactly.They should take more advantage of them.We are talking about the Rolling Stones and not Huey Lewis & the News.People should be able to go to shows on a few different Stones tours and hear more different songs.They still have a large number of songs that have not been but deserve to be played live.They also have hugely popular songs that have been rarely played in recent years.

Believe it or not, but most fans want to hear songs they have heard before, and know well.

Bjornulf

If they are fans,they should know most,if not all of the songs.I think the real solution to all of this is some (more) club shows for die hard fans and fans who want to see a different type of Stones show.Maybe,if for no other reason,as a gesture to the people who have supported them through the years.
