I don't understand. Someone TOOK HOME a plexiglas with a Stones setlist on it? And this was the defining moment of their life? And now they WORSHIP at the damn thing like it was an altar in a church? Someone please explain. This has puzzled me for some time.

You're not dumb. This thread is dumb. I think it may have something to do with Charlie having the setlist written for him on a piece of plexiglas that he keeps near his drumkit, and someone found that it was possible, before the concert began, to read the setlist off the plexiglas and thus know in advance what they were going to play and when they were going to play it. Not sure why that's important, though I guess it does allow you the opportunity to yell out for the song you know is coming up next and when they play it, it looks like they played it because you yelled out for it. Also, it would help in making decisions like when to go to the bathroom or when to go buy a beer.

Bt God tatters, you may have just explained what had been a bit of a head-scratcher! Well done!

Yes it started out as a bit of a dumb joke when one night somone posted the setlist before the show based on what was written on the plexiglass next to Charlie. From there,the oh so eccentric timbernardis transformed it into an inside joke that even Stephen Colbert would'nt find funny. But 3 years later it still gets mentioned.

I see. Thank you for clearing this up. The story sounds vaguely familiar. I still don't see what the big deal is. I think any one of us could predict, with 95% accuracy, the setlist for any given Stones concert WITHOUT looking at the plexiglass. With one or two minor changes, it's gonna be the same setlist they played the previous night.
