Surfing Dime A Dozen, the torrent site, I stumbled across this Stones setlist, from the Philadelphia Spectrum, Sept 3 1994:

Not Fade Away
Tumbling Dice
You Got Me Rockin'
Shattered
Rocks Off
Sparks Will Fly
Satisfaction
Beast Of Burden
Wild Horses
All Down The Line
I Go Wild
Heartbreaker
Miss You
Band Intro
Honky Tonk Women
Happy
The Worst
Love Is Strong
Monkey Man
Street Fighting Man
Start Me Up
It's Only Rock'n Roll
Brown Sugar
E: Jumping Jack Flash

That list has got:
* 8 "rare" songs (by today's standards, including SFM)
* 8 warhorses (not counting YGMR, which was new at the time)
* 5 songs from their latest album
* Everything mixed real well and not some by some sleepy standardized warhorses-rarities-warhoses pattern throughout the whole tour.

What went wrong these last years...?

Nothing..

Compare the setlist of that tour and you'll see a lot less variation then this days !

nothing - what's wrong with you?
(prize for the first person who posts which tour/number i'm quoting)

Do have the following question:

What was this ?
1 aug Wash dc

stiltwalkers used on track 21 (monkey man)

Its exactly what it says. they had stiltwalkers on stage. They dropped the idea after the first show I think.

I was at the August 94 opener. The best Stones show! The stilt walker was chasing Mick around the stage and Mick ran through the stilts! It was awesome.
They had some Voodoo band playing voodoo music in between the Living Colour and Stones sets. What a great show.

You mixed up things a little bit:
You can't count rare songs from the view of today, and compare it with warhorses from the view of 1994.
The setlists during Voodoo Lounge were more or less very similar from show to show. Compare the setlists of A Bigger Bang...much more variation.

The crucial point of issue here is that they played FIVE songs from the new album.

By today's standards, that really is pushing the boat out.

Last year, they played about 4 songs of the new album:

Munich 2006: Oh No Not You Again, Rough Justice, Streets Of Love, This Place Is Empty

It were the Counting Crows as an opener.

The voodoo drummers were announced as "being from Haiti", they got little
applause and some booes ,because the US had some troubles with the government
there and with refugees etc.

I know that the stiltwalkers weren´t on anymore in Indy on August 10th.
Don´t really know if they were onstage on Aug. 3rd.

True, and early on in a tour they dont tend to play as many new songs as the audience isnt THAT familiar with them. So, they actually tended to play more than five after a while, with six being the norm.

fast forward a couple of months and it was barely one or two.

Giants Stadium, first and last shows were my two first Stones shows. Had a great time at both. What's funny about the set list above, seeing that they only did 19 or 20 songs per show this past tour, if you broke that set list above down to say 19 songs you could pretty much create a typical set list from recent shows...

Did he do that on '97-'98 versions of "Miss You?"

I remember being at Shea Stadium in '89 and the whole crowd was singing along with "Miss You" and Jagger goes: "people think I'm...NUTS!"

Threw everybody, with big laughs all around.

>> Did he do that on '97-'98 versions of "Miss You?" <<

close enough - you get the prize, which is a chance to ask the next Tricky Question :E

I would have loved 4 or 5 songs from ABB when I saw the tour in Toronto.

I believe we got 2: Rough Justice and Oh No....

In 1981 I got to see them do Tops, which they stopped doing pretty much completely early in the tour (it was great live)

In 1978 half the crowd (or more) in Buffalo had zero idea what the Stones were playing when they opened with Let It Rock, and later proceeded to run thru most of the Some Girls record. They didn't bother pandering to casual fans (now stockborkers and ex-pat bankers). They went out and played music they believed in. I wish they still had that attitude. No need to play safe.

Though they did mix up the setlist on this tour, it was 1 or 2 songs a night, and rarely going into the ABB record. : (

> Spectrum, Sept 3 1994:

Da last time the Stones played Philly Spectrum was in 1975

1994 tour they played Veterans Stadium Sept 22 & 23 , da 22th it was pourin rain all day & nite & Stones did a really good show , da next day Jagger said to audience " Ya should of been here last nite , it was so f***in wet "

Yeah - that was the only letdown on this tour - not playing enough songs from their brilliant new (at the time) album "A Bigger Bang".

But, somehow I think they would not have sold more copies if they did - as the hard-core fans already would have it and the casual "fan" would probably go for one of the compilations instead....

...and the Stones - or Jagger - probably realized this too ;-)

But, I don't think "the dinosaurs" should expect more. The Stones were the number one album-selling band for two weeks in 2005 and that is probably it.

they played FIVE songs from the new album at shows on the bigger bang tour too - at the garden in sept 05 we got 19th nervous breakdown, get up stand up back of my hand and it was a 22 song show .... and thats just from memory!

[edit] here is the list:

1. Start me Up
2. She's so Cold
3. You Got Mr Rocking
4. Tumbling Dice
5. Rough Justice
6. Back of My Hand
7. Blue version 19 Nervous Breakdown (lots of slide
8. Bitch
9. All Down the Line
10. Get Up Stand Up
Intros (Ron Rehab Wooooood)
11. Worst
12. Infamy
13.Miss you
14. Oh No Not You Again
15.Satisfaction-(was supposed to be Shattered)
16. HonkyTonk Woman
17.Sympathy for the Devil
18. Paint It Black
19. It's Only Rock n Roll
20. Jumping Jack Flash
Encore
21.You Can't Always Get What You Want
22.Brown Sugar

That was a great show. Unfortunately as the tour progressed they didn't introduce/rotate new songs from the new album on a regular basis. By the time they were well into the European leg the new songs decreased as did the number of songs. Still looking forward to seeing them stateside in the spring if it happens.

They played four ABB songs in Detroit.
