the fireworks, yes?

"War-horse" (noun) Webster's dictionary - Defined: A song played over and over and over again to folks willing to pay $300 - $400 US to hear them played over and over and over again.

"ABB Tour" Webster's dictionary: A tour named after an album/CD but from which one song is played. (If you are lucky)

i am very pleased with the setlist.
if they stick by it i get 9 new songs which i haven´t heard last year on my other 2 abb concerts.
so half of the set is new to me and that´s great.

lol- just winding you up , dude

jesus folks, give it a rest already...fact of the matter is that 90% of the audience aren't, if you'll pardon the word, 'obsessive' fans. They might have heard that the stones had an album called a Bigger Bang come out in 2005, but they probably didn't.

Sure, the tour is called 'A Bigger Bang' but only cos it's tradition that their tours have names. As such, the tour is an excuse to
a) play the songs to gazillions of people,
b) flog a few t-shirts and then for the band to
c) f*ck off back home and count their money.

Perhaps the stones should take a leaf from the Sex Pistols book and call the tour 'filthy lucre', but I'm not so sure how well it'd go down.

Face it, guys, if we manage to maintain the ratio we have here of warhorses to treats like we have, then it's not *too* bad. We've got to accept a certain amount of warhorses, so the argument turns on WHAT you'd rather have the *remainder* of the show made up of...and given the choice between something half baked off ABB or 'Shine a light', then I know what i want...

I mean, I take the point that such-and-such a song has been played loads of times on, say, the Licks Tour, but y'know, tough! If it was your choice to go to Christ-alone-knows how many shows (or to download the same number of torrents) then you GOTTA accept a certain amount of repetition.

You can't, sadly, expect Mick'n'Keef so say 'Oh wait, Derek from Idaho is in AGAIN, so we better do 'Jigsaw Puzzle' tonight - we can't have him complaining on the internet'...



Anyhoo - i'm off to see 'em in Slane Castle...you can expect my complaints and whinges in...ooooh...3 months or so!

It seems most people don't recognize how rare Waiting On A Friend actually is in concert.This was the SIXTH performance of the song since the Hampton '81 shows ended (the only tour that it was played more than 3 times) .This was the first performance of it outside of N.America.

i'm genuinely confused...is that agreement or disagreement?

CSNY, Springsteen, The Who and Dylan played many songs and in some cases their entire new albums and I didn't hear about anyone being pissed. David Gilmour did the same things when he played last year.

Sorry stickydion, I guess we just have different opinions. I think its great when a band plays their new music. And when Keith says their new stuff was written to be played live I just get excited to hear it on stage.

Like someone said,two of the top ten requested songs were Let Me Down Slow and Laugh,I Nearly Died.

....I think if you get roses from sssssoul, that's a good thing.....

smile: the roses mean well, definitely!
you can take them as thanks for articulating that point so nicely -
this point here, i mean:

[peering hard at the strawberry:] ... do you have blueberries?
how about a nice selection of fruit - you can use your discretion :E

damnit Erik, those aren't strawberries....are they?

Lukester I think it was damaged by the liqour, and yes Sssoul I do have other fruits but they aren't as successful as the strawberry-painting

Erik, is that your very noble attempt at bettering the
much-maligned London 2012 logo?

(aka Lisa Simpson, losing her virginity)

I never really complain about setlists. Hell there are some songs I can think of I would gladly have played TWICE in a set. This is NOT being critical but what I do find a bit curious is why on recent tours they perform someone else's material when they have such an extensive back catalogue of their own. I'm not referring to the 'covers' they have always performed eg Love In Vain, Mannish Boy etc. I'm thinking more along the lines of 'Get Up, Stand Up','Nearness of You' and now 'I Go Crazy'(tho' maybe that was a one-off tribute). The point I'm making is that there are plenty nuggets of their own they could perform in these slots.
And yeah, before anyone jumps on me, I know they can play whatever the hell they want and they've earned the right. Just a thought.

"I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon."

I did think about Lisa at once, LOL

not jumping, just sayin: i love that they do covers.
to me one of the splendid things about the Stones is how they've always made a point
of acknowledging where they come from.

Erik, your trick with friut was kinda cute .....

Aww, you know the rest.

Naw, I think Keith's alright when it's his time to sing but Mick's got THE VOICE, and I must have a huge bladder cause it's a rare thing in movies/concerts and stuff for me to go (but I don't drink much when I know I have to drive - it's TOO RISKY. They nail your ass in Ca. - also costs a fortune after all is said and done. I had a friend that had to piss every 2 minutes, poor guy (just died last week from Cancer. He was so F-ed up that death was a gift so not THAT sad)
