But not for a few years, i dunno, they have so many great songs that they wrote, and so many great songs never played before live, it seems silly not to play them!
I got to admit that I like their rock more, but if they want to go back to the blues I think thats great. It`s more important that they do what they want than what I want.

It is silly not to play them, that seems to be why so many people are complaining around here and other boards. I'd love to see them go back to being a blues band, anything to get them to play a few different numbers. However they don't play any blues songs in today's shows. Back of my Hand was great but they dropped it pretty quickly.

Absolutely, but I`m more in to rock. Whatever, it also would be great to hear Time is on my side, Heart of stone, Love in vain, I got the blues etc...
Blues is boring. Any more than 1 or 2 songs and the whole set drags. And the blues is more of an attitude than a style and I don't think multi-millionaires with few real problems can convincingly deliver it for 2 hours.

Thats the soul!!!!!And thats what counts...the blues is very wild!!And sometimes became R&R....cheers E!!!!And all the R&R cats on this board!!
And give me one bad Stones blues tune!!!The greatest R&R and blues band...still alive!!!I used to sleep during rob cray s set!!!Red devils!!!Blues is a wild thing!!Not boring at all!!!!!
I'm not a real big blues fan, as so much of the music sounds about the same. There's not enough diversity in it for me. As Dan said above, 1-2 songs would work well in a Stones set, but it would drag if there were more. The exception to this is if it was in a club setting, which is where blues music should be played, not in huge stadiums.
I've enjoyed seeing them play songs like Little Red Rooster, I Just Want To Make Love To You and Back Of My Hand live, but would not want a majority of a set devoted to these type of songs.
I love their blues material and their rock songs too ... maybe a 50/50 split? They need to do something to bring them out of playing the same warhorses over and over. Coming to my hometown for the first time in 17 years has got me excited right now, but that trick only works once.
