Why even bother to discuss set lists at this point? We all know the formula; they're gonna play the big hits, trot out an oldie (OOT) as a novelty, maybe play one tune of recent vintage like Ghost Town, and hold one spot where they rotate in and out some lesser warhorses like Rocks Off , Monkey Man, etc. And the obligatory vote songs that they probably choose themselves.

QuoteHairball Good question duke - Mick could have a field day with the harp solo while basking in the limelight, and it would give the tune that extra menace and authenticity. On the bright side we're gifted with the amazing vocal contributions from Sasha - not only a great stage presence, but she also nails the vocals every time. It's the current guitar intro that's the myste

The sad thing is except for some of us diehards, the window of time where the public cares about a new Stones album is closed or closing. They've teased it out so long that even diehards like myself are just losing interest in seeing if it ever happens.

I think the Stones were very business savvy from way back. I could be wrong, but I think even at that time, they - at least Mick - knew they had achieved iconic status, and that it would probably continue fo

Haven't been on here in a while but why not? It was a treat to hear Love in Vain in 1978; Time Is On My Side in 1981 (have they even played it since then?) Also - She Was Hot in 2006; which was a rarity up until that leg of the tour. Sway in 2006, which hadn't been played beforehand to my knowledge. Does anyone remember when Midnight Rambler was not a guaranteed number? First heard it

I haven't posted here in a long time but Charlie's passing felt like a kick in the gut; maybe the hardest hitting musician loss for me personally since John Lennon, George Harrison and maybe Entwistle. This one hits even harder. The Stones have been the soundtrack to my life. Born in 1960, I remember hearing Satisfaction when it came out and loving it. What does a five year old know? I

I have mixed emotions. It will probably still be a fun and enjoyable show but yeah, without Charlie it's not really the Stones. Any absence of the three remaining originals is just not the same band.

One thing I find interesting about this thread is the comments about "glorious, sloppy rock and roll," which I do enjoy. But from 1989 on, have the Stones been all that sloppy? Not really to my ears.

My first concert was in 1978; stadium show. I was high up in the stands at about the 50 yard line on Keith's side. Being my first big concert I didn't have anything to compare it to, but I thought it sounded pretty decent. Volume was not as strong as in later years. When they first came on, I had no clue what the first song was due to the screaming and cheering. Didn't know it was

Too fast? Not so much these days. They tend to stick closer to the studio versions with few exceptions. Now back in the seventies - 1981-82; yes they often went frantic on stage but I liked that energy. Having become a fan back in those days, now when they do them at the "correct" tempo, I often think they sound too slow even though they're not.

Being that I already have everything, I don't need Honk. But I did buy the digital downloads of the live cuts, except for the ones with guest stars - I don't like guest stars - and I gotta say, those cuts are way better than I expected them to be. Mr. D is awesome.
