Some Girls8 out of the 10 Some Girls songs were regularly played on the '78 tour. Of the two remaining songs, Before They Make Me Run was premiered at Shea Stadium in 1989 and has been in and out of the set at various times since and Some Girls was first played on the opening night of the No Security tour and then regularly for the rest of that US tour. After its appearance at the Shepherds Bush show, its only appearance since was at the 2nd Beacon show last year, However, BTMMR WAS performed by the New Barbarians in 1979, but not by the Stones.
Let it BleedYCAGWAYW was debuted at the Rock n roll circus, although it wasnt performed 'on tour' until 1972. Four of the other eight songs were debuted in 1969, two of them at Hyde Park.
Which leaves four songs, which were debuted later.
Country Honk (Kneworth '76 - a few bars only. And never played since), Let It Bleed (1981), Monkey Man (1994), You Got The Silver (1999)
Sticky Fingers You Gotta Move and Brown Sugar were debuted on the 1969 tour (the latter at Altamont). Dead Flowers was played on the 1970 European tour.
Wild Horses, CYHMK and Bitch were debuted at the start of the 1971 British tour, although the first two were quickly dropped and no confirmed recordings exist of their performances from that tour. 'I Got The Blues' was debuted at the Marquee TV special and then was not played again for 28 years almost to the day until the Hartford show on 29.3.99 (I was there!)
Moonlight Mile was debuted on the No Security tour in 1999 (it hasnt been played since). Sister Morphine in Chicago on 25.9.97 and then Sway made it 10/10 for Sticky Fingers when it was debuted in Columbus on the ABB tour in September 2005.
Black and Blue'Cherry Oh Baby' was the first B&B song to be debuted, being played at 2 of the six MSG shows in 1975. Its only other appearance to date was the 4th Paris show on 7/6/76.
Four of the other seven songs were debuted on the '76 European tour, where they were regulars - Hand Of Fate, Hey Negrita, Hot Stuff and Fool To Cry.
When introducing 'Melody' at Shepherds Bush in 1999, Mick claimed it had never been played before. He was wrong, they played it at the El Mocambo shows in 1977, although no recording exists of it. Its never been played anywhere else.
Memory Motel was debuted in Washington DC on opening night of the Voodoo Lounge tour. Crazy Mama' was also debuted at the El Mocambo - although surprisingly, considering its the most "concert friendly" song on the album, its only appearances since were on the BTB tour - last performance being in Amsterdam in July 1998.
Out of Our Heads (US version) All twelve songs were first played in 1965, apart from "I'm Alright"(1963). Harder to track these down as most havent been played since the 60s and there are few tapes from this era. In case youre wondering about the UK equivalent of this record, 'Gotta Get Away'has never been known to have been played live.
Of the other post-1967 albums, the numbers that have been played live are
Beggars banquet - 8/10 - (Jigsaw Puzzle, Dear Doctor)
Exile - 12/18
GHS - 6/10
IORR - 6/10
ER - 4/10
TY - 8/11 (Slave, Heaven, No Use in crying)
Undercover - 3/10
Dirty Work - 2/10 !!
Steel Wheels - 8/12
VL - 9/15 (plus 'Jump on top of me')
BTB - 10/13
40 Licks - 1/4 (new songs)
ABB - 8/18
For what its worth, the Rolling Stones have released some 352 different titles. A stunning 142 of those songs have never been performed in concert, even though the band have played over 2,000 concerts - approximately
40% of their back catalogue.
