QuoteHalup You Got Me Rocking is missing on your list. There was also an additional song heard by a couple of people that could not be identified. Let's hope it stays that way. Holy crap, there's no need for such trash to be played live at this point (yeah yeah, they could drop the overcooked SFTD etc but that will never happen).

Quoteharlem shuffle The mixing of Exile is one of the worst mixing of a Stones album IORR is their worst. EOMS sounds incredible - and it's just as sonically sharp as LIB and SF. EOMS is a murky album but the mix is fantastic. Mick complained about the mix while talking about VOODOO - which, at the time, I thought, Yeah, he's right. I eventually got around to listening to the

No Emotional Rescue. That's too bad. Thought they might be a bit more daring given HACKNEY DIAMONDS. At least they did it live finally 11 years ago! So many others they could bring out.

Given the reports of their rehearsals hopefully they do consistently play more than 3 songs from HACKNEY DIAMONDS: Their very own hype about this album, not much different than any hype in the past, has one exception: it's been 18 years. Each new album tour from VOODOO through BANG revealed they were more interested in being historical than present. The work they did to provide a new

A BIGGER BANG was their SOME GIRLS 2 - totally out of nowhere, the one exception being their legacy, yet way too long. STEEL WHEELS, as brilliant as it seems, suffers from the shiny nowness - they HAD to get it together. At times it reeks of desperation. VOODOO - a great looseness... but too loose. Some of what they left off is better. Oh well. They've always made those bad kind of dec

I really hope they play more than three off HACKNEY. Just play 5 the entire tour, none of this dropping songs out like the BANG tour. Partially because they made a big deal out of the new album - so tour it! Since Chuck was not involved with HACKNEY... think he'll be on the tour? Matt Clifford did the Racket show. It's been very quiet in that regard!
