ah! I just love that controlled mess in that tune when they play it live. I just loved to listen version by version from North America tour, there was always something different here and there and it's fun to hear in how many different times Mick ended the song! Great tune it is and it has a load of energy in it. Just love it.

I hope so too, because even if Mick doesn't hit all the lyrics the live version of She's So Cold from the U.S. tour really rocked, and Europe will love it.
I also feel the same about IORR as the closer. I think it is the best of all the Stones songs to close a concert, and the combination with you Can't Always Get What You Want as the encore can't be beat by any other two songs, except maybe Midnight Rambler and It's Only Rock and Roll.

I´ve always think than the best closer is Brown Sugar... but I should admit than It´s Only Rock and Roll how closer is the best version than they does of this song... no routine how usually... really WORKING this song.... guau.. what Boston´s versions!! I loved it!!!
In my opinion the best closer is without doubt Jumping Jack Flash. They take it on for real long, something they can't really do with It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. I think It's Only Rock 'n' Roll has been played too often. I mean, there's no doubt that Jumping Jack Flash was played a whole lot more, but that one never gets boring.
But the setlist.. well.. I think it will be similair to the North American sets with some new songs thrown in. I really hope Keith goes for Little T&A. I also hope Saint Of Me comes back, that's a really good stadium song. A great sing along bit and awesome guitars all the way through. Mick's acoustic adds that extra touch.
SHES SO COLD was awesome in Boston! Love that song! They played it at the beginning of the tour then they dropped it and picked it up again later. I would say some of Europe will hear it, but not at every show.
Funny story - I recently had a date who was literally singing Shes So Cold to me, when I kissed him g'nite and sent him home with a big bulge in his pants,lol. He's a Stones man, my favorite kind, but I had to get home so as I left him I heard him singing it loud and clear!
