Hi folks,
..just 3 days to go...the band seems to be ready...some cool stuff has been reheased so far, BUT, I did miss some of my favorites like:

Back of My hand....great blues track and from the ABB album, I know european fans would love to hear this song....and they should have tried "Laugh I nearly died" as well....I mean this is still the A Bigger bang tour...but they are succesfully trying to avoid playing more tunes from ABB.....
She was hot...lust autumns highlight seems gone now....I feel sorry for that.
On Four Flicks they did some great versions of "Slave"...they prefer to dig out "Can`t You hear me knocking" instead, which I love, but Slave would be something new IMO.
My fear is that they play many seldom playd or obscure songs we hard core freaks love to hear,during rehearsals, but when it comes to play the gig they go back to the safe set list route by playing mostly the warehorses, we all know since 1989 again and again.

Hope they play 21 songs which would leave some space for 1 or 2 surprise songs..
I will be in:
Frankfurt,Paris,Düsseldorf & the London O2 trilogie..so that will be 3 stadium and 3 arena gigs..2 of them in June the rest in August...so I hope I will get the chance to hear a variety of songs.

Cuon tour

Back Of My Hand was performed during late 2005 and is now gone. Great song but it is done and history. Sorry about that. I loved it, but unless you saw them at the tour start in Boston Aug 2005 or soon after that song is gone.

She Was Hot may turn up this summer I am sure. Great song, already rehearsed and performed several times last year. And you will see it in the movies this fall - Scorsese from the Beacon shows.

They will probably play 19-20 songs. Enjoy the shows. Three days to go...

Bjornulf

I also missed that they didn't rehearse any new song from ABB like Biggest Mistake or Let Me Down Slow. Anyway, the list of rehearsed songs is still pretty impressive. I hope they play most of them this summer.

Hi all.

Sorry if this has already been posted.
They haven´t rehearsed Sympathy for the devil, have they?
Is this song off for this European ABB tour?

Hope so

What a daft responce (hope so) it's one of their greatest songs!

They don't need to rehearse that one anymore. The drumloop and Chuck take care of the song, the Stones freewheel around them.

Great list of songs rehearsed! Bu yeah, I was hoping for a new ABB song in the set this summer. Ah, I will take whatever tour premiere I can get!

Hi all,

thank you for the answer, mr. Edward

No Sympathy..?

exactly: thats why they shouldnt play it. havent done it justice in 30 or so years. its supposed to be sympathy for the devil, not sympathy for chuck leavell. (though to some around here that would amount to the same thing.)

"Sympathy for Chuck Leavell"....that title earns you a IORR-grammy,
"Honky Tonk Leavell" also comes to mind as a proper title, at least the mid 90s approach

I'm still wondering if they'll play songs they didn't touch at rehearsals.
I know they've played some for the zillionth time and don't need much reh...but still.
will they go without giving it a brush just once?

No Stones show without Sympathy!
