More people coming for the rehearsals, including three French press camera teams, which means added security and paparazzi style climbing the rails with cameras. I feel embarrassed because after all The Rolling Stones are in Paris for some private rehearsals. The press should leave them alone.
I guess the secret is out now.

I wonder if it ever happened that let's say Lisa or Bernard walked up to Jagger after rehearsal and said, "This song is a beauty, we should really do it, Mick". Would Jagger appreciate comments like that? Till The Next Goodbye is a wonder. And they should encourage Mick to do it. Those lyrics are just sooo great and smart. Way more classy and stylish than Fool To Cry or Worried About You... It is sooo "Jagger". They have a lot of songs that work work great live, and this one would be a beauty.

... or "Fingerprint File" if they're into a '74 mood.
MT would provide some tasty wah-wah licks. Please don't put him on bass! Leave it to Ronnie ><

I beg to differ.
I think that the simplicity and honesty of,say, Fool To Cry, is far more affective. (Who needs 'classy' or stylish'?). Ditto for Out Of Tears.
I actually think that TTNG is a weaker, and musically rather clumsy, Jagger effort. (His vocal mannerisms grate on this listener too).
BUT THAT SAID, I'd far rather they broke that out at a concert than a many, many a worn and trodden warhorse.
So Hats off to them.
Now just add Stop Breaking Down as the central jam number!

They have better songs to choose from than Till The Next Goodbye and Streets Of Love!
Why not Coming Down Again and If You Really Want To Be My Friend instead?
Even Indian Girl would be more interesting than SOL, imo. And, yes, SOL was very good on the BB tour.
Oops! I'm whining... Sorry
It's nice that they try out songs never or rarely played.

Not sure how many fans and how many paparazzi ... but I can imagine a group of fans, standing next to eachother, wouldn't let any paparazzi get in front of them

I do NOT think they like to have the cameras pointing on them at this stage. Mick Jagger is very nice to the fans. Every day. He is rolling down the side window every day to say hello to the fans at the gate. Every day. Even in rain and cold. But on the day the cameras are there pointing to his car, he does not roll down the window. I think that is a clear signal he do NOT want to be filmed when he is not in the public. By fans, yes, but NOT by the paparazzis. He is still a human beeing just like you and me. By the way he rolled down the window 50 meters before the gate for the fans there but closed it when the stupid paparazzis were making their way in front of the fans, so this is not rocket science, more lake the basic course in human relations. I just observe, and it does not look good.

Isn't it fantastic: press-stress at the rehearsals, band working inside on "Till the next goodbye", rehearsing tons of songs, just 9 days left to the start of a new worldwide tour, starting in the middle east, Abu Dhabi is already rolling - and all this in Winter 2014.
STONES-FANS ARE A VERY, VERY GIFTED. FULL STOP.

Great that the Stones can still get so much attention from the press.

They push a camera up into our faces and we tell them we do not want to be on TV. They say we are on public area so we have no privacy. These kinda guys were filming Lady Di through a keyhole in the door while she did workout privately, and they were driving her into fatality. They would film you in your bedroom if they could make money from it. Just like a cockroach is doing its job in my bathroom when I stay in a cheap and dirty place, I do know the paparazzis just do their job, but unlike the cockroach, they - the paparazzis, are supposed to have more than one brain cell and some sort of human moral and respect for individuals.

Going against the grain here,imo at this stage of their carrer more than before The Stones are publicity whores,who enjoy the attention of the press,it helps them to sell tickets,which btw are not selling that well for this leg of the tour,tickets are easily available for all the upcoming shows,IF they wanted to rehearse in private there are many more locations that would remain private...jus sayin....
