Viewed in this way, there was also no “sharing feeling” with all the other spectators in Berlin Waldbühne (3-Aug-22) because people in the neighboring seats were strangers and not interested in each other. 3D green-red glasses are btw pretty low-tech (1970s TV) - there should be

I think that when you have experienced one or more "club shows" of the 2002/2003 Licks Tour, you're a damn lucky Stones fan. All those "odd" songs on the set lists is what a diehard (but not only) Rolling Stones fan is dreaming about all the time. I think the Stones could easily take some more risks, because Out of Time proved that it can work to add "odd" song

Knowing the Rolling Stones from the beginning of 1964, I find it hard to answer your question.
