I checked on that to see if that was right. and it is, they didnt even Play in the UK during the summer 98 tour in Europe (when Satsisfacion was an opener). Weird. what was the reason for that?

Sorry Mr Worst, it aint! I wish they would turn it upside down a little bit, like open with fire, red lights and Sympathy.. Or better yet, why not choose a completely new opener, It must be hell, or Jiving sister fanny!

They want to open with a warhorse, they did that everytime ( with the exeption of Not fade away and Let it Rock). I would not mind a new opener, but when Charlie sits down and Keith plays the JJF riff I am convinced that this is the perfect opener, it is fantastic, the Stones rock!!!

To be honest, I think one of the reasons they start with JJF is that it's easy to play. No real @#$%& ups, unlike Brown Sugar (it's not very encouraging to start a show in the wrong key, or whatever Keith was doing with BS too many times in 2003!).
