Can we rename this thread to "Weekly Contest: Who can name the most rare Stones tracks?"
buttons is the clear winner...

but seriously, I go to concerts to feel and exchange energy with my favorite band. A few rarities thrown in are a nice change in energy, but if I get to see the stones one more time and could choose between a "time waits for no one, jigsaw puzzle, infamy, out of time, fancy man blues" or a "sympathy, jjf, brown sugar, honky tonk woman, satisfaction" setlist, i'd go for the latter. There is a palpable energy in the room when they launch into one of their epic hits(you all call them warhorses) that is really part of what makes the stones concert experience special.
Really, is anyone honestly bored listening to the opening telecaster salvo of Start Me Up wishing they were playing Citadel? Its easy to bitch about the setlist on paper but I challenge anyone to go see the boys live and yawn during sympathy for the devil or IORR. Their most legendary songs are legendary for a reason. Long live the warhorses! Maybe I'm not a true fan...

You are right about the epic nature of their biggest hits. And yes, I would rather hear Citadel than Start Me Up! During the 2nd Chicago show I was ready to call it a night once Satisfaction came on. Just repetitive and band on autopilot, but the rest of the show was stellar! I'd much rather they end every show with Street Fighting Man. SFM has a far better riff jam at the end.
