QuoteRisingStone Apart from the HD songs, all familiar selections. Too early to whine about the setlist, I know, but it doesn’t look that promising. Predictably so, in a way. Sorry to be a buzz killer. What this list lacks is a deep cut or obscure song from the past, another Out Of Time. I almost mistook WILD HORSES as WARHORSES lol.

Thank you, wickerman! Wonderful that they see potential in HACKNEY DIAMONDS tracks. Hopely many of them at least see the spotlight. The pragmatic test has no mercy and usually it is a killing floor for new material. - Doxa

QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteStonesfan2146 I was just thinking Gimme Shelter + intro means the show intro. But now that I'm reading the comments over there it might indeed just be the song intro :/ It was just Keith @#$%& up the GS-intro on rehearsals, like always.

Quotegeorgelicks It looks like there will be another deluxe re-edition this year, the album is not known yet but Mick has been working on several outtakes in the past months. 40x5 has been handling the same information for weeks and already published it on their Instagram account several weeks ago.

Good point, Dandie. Probably being analytical might give the impression of being objective, but it really means that one is good with words, that is, being good in expressing one views by taking a lot of things into consideration. But subjective, all the same. It might be in best case convincing, but not objectively true. But what goes for the review discussed here, no, I didn't bother to
