If I would have been there, I'm sure I would be enthusiastic, too. But, on the other hand,
I vividly remember my disappointment seeing the song list of Live Licks. Brown Sugar?
Satisfaction?
I'm not saying the concerts are bad or not enjoyable. Presumably quite the contrary. But I am
saying it could easily be even better. There seems to be no other reason than Mick

You asked for a response:
If Keith is bound to play slide, say, 20 years from now, will you say: oh, how lucky we are that
he has played 308 times Satisfaction as long as he was still able to! Or would you rather
watch that Live DVD with gems like It Won't Take Long and Laugh, I Nearly Died? Forum: Tell Me
Once, I think 1966, MJ was asked by a fan: "Are you Herman?" "Yeah, I'm Herman." And
so MJ signed autographs as Herman of Herman's Hermits. (Source: David Dalton's book.) Forum: Tell Me
"From Elvis Presley Boulevard" is a great album. Recorded at Graceland, at a time when he
was tired of Rock'n'Roll, containing only songs that touched him personally.
Btw, live he still had to play Satisfaction ... eh ... Hound Dog in 1977. The audience demanded
that. He played it in a manner that showed that he was not very excited about it any more

Well, then they should play it. It would add to their bad boy image (-> would you let
your daughter go out with a Rolling Stone). Forum: Tell Me
After having gotten bad reviews for Exile, the Stones know it as a proven fact that they can safely ignore the essays of professional rock critics. Forum: Tell Me
What a risky setlist! 8 songs from the new album. 5 songs from the album before.
4 warhorses (if you can call Before They Make Me Run a warhorse). And something
else. Consequently, the audience was running to the entrances demanding their money back
("That guy wrote Satisfaction! Either he plays Satisfaction or I'll sue!"). Forum: Tell Me
Never would they play a warhorse medley. You Can't Always Get What You Want is only
enjoyable when longer than 7 min. But what about an ABB medley? 40 sec of Rough Justice,
followed by 35 sec of ONNYA? Forum: Tell Me

It's only natural for a fan board to have a majority of yes men.

> If they played the entire ABB album with 3-4 warhorses thrown in at the end of the show, the Stadium/Arena would be 60-75% empty by this point.
1. Probably not. Maybe 10% empty. If you don't know a piece of theatre yet, you also won't
leave early just because of that.
2. And even supposed this was the case - so what? So much the better. Smaller

You Can't Always Get What You Want - an obvious attempt to write a follow-up to SFTD.
You can almost see Jagger in front of his piano trying to force creativity in a moment
where there was none. "You can't always get what you want - no, wahant - but if
you try sometimes, you might - here I should start to throw in some melody - might

What a draaaag it is getting ohohold ... no wonder MJ doesn't particularly like it any more. And moreover, after he finally grew up, around 1970, he stopped writing songs about his
mother, so presumably their relationship grew back to normal again. Forum: Tell Me
