I did not do any shows at all 2012-2014 because of the stale setlist. Only did two for Zip Code and they were both Lucky Dips at that. Same reason. If the setlists were more dynamic, then figure I would have done about my average number of shows per tour for both date ranges. That means I passed on roughly 10 shows. 10 shows for which I would have paid top price range to get as close to the stage

They could do a medley.... one minute each of their entire catalog.

Take those 30 off and there won't be anything left. Classic rock stations have just as bad of a set list problem as the Stones. I mostly just listen to music on YouTube anymore.

34 years ago, such a long time. I saw them three times in '81 (plus the PPV), and I must say it was a FUN tour. The Stones looked good and they sounded good. The last tour of the classic Stones. Opening night, JFK - drove from Columbus to Philly all alone (just broke up with girlfriend of 4 years). Arrived downtown around noonish and got a hotel room for about $60. Freshened up and heade

Quoteindystonesfan Maybe they will do a Great North or Arctic Circle type tour: Vancouver, Calgary, St. Petersburg Russia, Estonia, Finland, etc... I know my geography might not get up past the line but the idea is Northern Cities... Maybe the Northern Lights Tour 2016 An Arctic Circle tour would not be possible because of the mosquitoes.

They blew my mind twice... 1) Hang on Sloopy. Heard it at soundcheck but thought they were just joking around. The Stones and Ohio State football are my two favorite forms of entertainment. It was pure magic when the crowd did the O-H-I-O chant. Looked like Mick was not expecting it. Wonderful. 2) Happy - Pittsburgh. For some reason, I was mesmerized with Keith's vocal phrasing during

I'm starting to think you should go the honest route. I had a situation exactly like this one and had to lie my way thru a couple of shows. One day last year my friend wanted to come to town and spend a few days at my place. I told him he was welcome to come stay with us for as long as he needed but that he couldn't drink here. That ended the friendship. Ultimately i realized he wasn�

Hey fellow musicians....Similar to "the 6 degrees of separation" theory, how many degrees of separation are you from jamming with the Stones? ex: I'm 5 degrees away using two different routes: Me (jammed several times with Matt N.)
