Usually in connection with Stones concerts, I hope for variation , not too many warhorses and so many newer songs as possible. Until tonight I have only listened to songs from the first concert through the PC at my work. But tonight, tonight!!! Now I can say; Some of the warhorses sound completely revitalized. It is as if this was a concert on the first tour they were played, so fresh do

Quotebuttons67 in the 70,s the stones used to play around 16-17 songs per gig on a particular tour and with the exeption of 1 or 2 at most, the setlist was the same every night. dont agree with doing this when at the time they had a back catalogue of around 200 songs, so why stick to the same few.

I wonder, I wonder: Might the Rolling Stones become a three guitar band for a possible ensuing album and then for concerts during 2013! What about two guitars doing some kind of underlying weaving and a solo guitar on top of that? Wish thinking, of course, from one, that is not attending any of the four concerts of 2012.

I am pleased by the fact that both the new songs were played. Usually I like to hear even more songs from later years. However, on the present occasion to me the two new songs take as starting point for a new possible development of the band stylistically the period of their transition from their late 60s singles to the '68 - '72 albums. Then, paradoxially, it is in harmony with

Quotehbwriter QuoteThroughTheLonelyNights Quotehbwriter MT and BW notwithstanding - I think the setlist peaked at Paint it Black - the show sounds solid - but got very predictable very fast- come on - let's be objective - at this point, 15 tunes are regulars - and will probably end up about 17 - show sounds great- but i don't get the celebration of the setlist I think you are right.

Doxa, you are the main reference to a post that I somewhat delayed wrote on “One More Shot”. However, too little of the resulting possible post was related to the song itself. I abstained from posting it. Now I found reason to post it here with the hope to inspire you to make an answer if you want to. (The two last and added paragraphs are directly addressed to Doxa.)

Listen to the musical representation of coming down again on "Coming Down Again". Its sheer greatness at that representation. The feeling and mood of the song. In one approach to GOATS HEAD SOUP,take this song as the key track of the album, and listen to the album in the light of such an interpretation.

Vow, I was present at both shows in the Scandinavum Icehockey arena (if my memory does not let me down).The late show from around the 10th row. The second and third of my Stones concerts. My problem during the concerts was that they played somewhat too loud for my ears. (I was not that mobile during the '60s and had my first Stones concert not earlier than on the 6th of September 1970).
