It really would be more complete to throw in Love Is Strong, Mixed Emotions, Out of Control/Saint of Me/ASMB?, Rain Fall Down/Under the Radar to go with the new 2 songs. A lot of Stones fans grew up when these were out. Frankly, I don't know why they always seem to drop new songs right after that album's tour. They've been needlessly 'drowning their young' for the last 30 years.

Now it's up to Keef's guitar tech to give him a supremely crunchy overdrive in that amp for this song's first part.

How about Ann Wilson belting out Zep's Black Dog with the boys, and then Taylor for 10 minute versions of Sway, CYHMK, Rambler, YCAGWYW and SFTD; followed by Happy, and then do the whole thing again and end with JJF?

QuoteGRNRBITW QuoteDoomandGloom Yes... Has Charlie ever done drum solos??? Everyone in the 70's did them.... not once. if not a drum solo, then at least a brief aria... I saw him do one once at the end of TD in Philly 1999. It was only about 10 seconds but still stands out in my mind because it was so out of the ordinary for him.

Brilliant Ronnie slide on Sway. It'd be nice if they work on the intro and feel for that one; the studio version is driven simply by the main rhythm guitar ringing out (sus2's?), one sustained strum per chord change on the verses which would also give it a more relaxed feel so Jagger wouldn't feel compelled to over-force the singing during the verses. The band has really improved this from the ot

Quite amazing if this setlist verifies. Keef on YGTS! Very adventurous segue from GS to Faraway Eyes. I'm wondering if they'll swap a warhorse or two since CYHMK is as long as 2 songs. Really exciting night all around.

Well Ronnie has sure made the case for Taylor on YCAGWYW from some of the clips I've seen, lol. It seems a little petty to give Taylor two of the weirder songs to solo over: MR is very dynamic with lots of speed changes, and Satisfaction is a riff song chugging along at 50 mph to end the show. Neither of those songs is just your normal "solo over the verse/chorus section" like all of th

The Ramblers have indeed stood out. The No Expectations was transcendant as well, with Mick relaxing like his pre-1989 onstage self and unforced vocal mannerisms, replete with a loose organic acoustic guitar strum. And we still haven't heard the club version of Love In Vain!

So there were originally around 1000 $85 tickets to each show. And then in the run-up to each show, there were discounted tickets.

The trouble with MR and CYHMK is that they're long; -especially in a set that will most likely include SFTD, YCAGWYW and whichever song ends the night, as JJF and Satisfaction have done. I think that's great because Jagger gets a little break from singing, but a longer set really wears on Charlie, who never gets a rest. That said, these three seem the most likely (besides MR): **Heartbreake
