IOW will be pretty much a warhorse setlist - more so than any show on the tour. Its not even a Stones audience, most of the crowd are young and most will never have seen them before.

but if all the party-goers are Indian and therefore have a reasonable liking for the stuff to begin with, its reasonable to expect them to be able to appreciate most types of curry
Hope so Gazza. With my luck when it came to Midnight Rambler duing the first 3-4 legs of ABB... I will probably get She Was Hot at my so-far-last gig booked in Hamburg. But hey, got "Waiting" at opening night(AND a taxi back home (Leuven))...
Gazza/Rocks Off, thanks for the usual update service!

Gazza, True! If they don't over-do it I guess all will have a great time.
My worst example was Berlin in 2003. They did both MR and CYHMK. During both songs I was almost kicked over by Germans going to the loo/catch that beer. Quite a few of the songs we love are songs they don't know. And some of them are a bit "special" to many. Even greater is to find out how many at a gig that didn't even know that Sweet Virgina and As Tears Go By was Stones material. Love that.
I think is fine how they do it now. 3-4 songs as a surprice. AND I agree they could let Chuck get a bit wilder.

Soaking wet show indeed with one big big thunderstorm hittting at 7pm and just dumping 15 mm (half an inch) of rain on the fans in 5-10 minutes. Then by a miracle as the Stones hit the stage at exactly 8:58pm the remaining after-rain suddenly stopped and all plastic and umbrellas were gone in a split second.
If Werchter was the warmup show this was the great real starter. Keith was the killer doing some great great guitar playing on SHE WAS HOT - Ronnie said thank you that was great great great playing to Keith as the song finished, while Mick was jumping around like there were no slippery wet surface on stage. Indeed there were. Everybody who walked over to the far end wing of the Keith side of the stage got blessed with Keith on his knees doing the Sympathy For The Devil guitar playing. During Painbt It Black the guy next to me said something in Dutch. I explained I did not undererstand. Then in English he said: They get better and better every year".
Everybody was singing along and dancing on Paint It Black. May be the best song of the show. Or may be it was "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", where Keith and Mick was thanking Ronnie for his great playing. The crowd was wet but very happy. Too bad they had to finish. A great show indeed.
