Fat chance?

I like seeing / hearing them perform material from a variety of different eras but,I'd be thrilled if they played the entire Exile album from start to finish. ( The original 18 tracks or better yet,include the new bonus tracks. )

Of the original 18 tracks,AT LEAST 1/4 has been played rarely in concert & AT LEAST another quarter or more has never performed live in public.

NO chance. Most of the songs have rarely or never been played live. It would be, at best, a shambles.

No No, 100% NOT A Chance
Just read the Exile article in the latest Uncut magazine.
There was a proposal to do it, and Jagger, amongst others decided against it !!
Thanks a lot Mick !!!!!!!
Seems it's too difficult to play the whole album live !!!

i think the Stones should follow Bruce Springsteen and play every album live.
That would make things interesting, And would give their Career (???) a boost.

Practically, and to be realistic there is no f..chance the Stones will do this.
A shame... Would be great to see them play an interesting show for their die-hard fans.

I don't blame him. Imagine "cranking out" Just Wanna See His Face as the masses scramble for the bathrooms.

That would bring on Start Me Up and ruin the 'live performance' of the album.

this is the closest we are going to get:

search for phish and select the 2009 Halloween concert

You forget one crucial factor: without Taylor they aren't capable of doing such a thing. It's even the question if they are still able to play the normal routine setlist (I don't think so), let alone whole albums. Unless they play without guitars.

On they other hand, I do think they can manage to perform the whole album .............................

Just rent Nellcote for two months, invite all the friends from back then (if they still alive)

Invite some great musicians....

Mick Taylor AKA as De Kleermaker
Bill Wyman ...Why Man? ....... because he is good
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
Merry Clayton
to name a few

And last but not least, invite some great posters from IORR who at least posted 5000 or more ;o)


I'm............................dreaming

Only Mick taylor could do it. Mick & Keith are 100 below zero since 30 years. Think BV is going to ban me again.

IJWSHF worked fine at the Phish gig.

yep...





(in a perfect world jwsHf would be a warhorse)

Uh huh.

Talkin' about STONES FANS, not Phish fans.

I actually think a three show Exile "tour" was under serious consideration, before the Ronnie fuss. I would guess that they may well have involved extra performers to pull it off, but the discussion never got that far. I think Jagger's claim that he vetoed it is somewhat disingenuous, as there was never much of a choice.

but it's a nightmare idea, don't you think, Chris?

I would love it in theory, but given the mangling they have dished out on favorite songs like "Sway" and "Torn & Frayed" I am not sure they should attempt it, especially with the wrong guitar player involved.

no chance because the stones dont have the balls to do it, not because its not a brilliant idea

They have played many songs live..Rocks Off, Rip This Joint, Tumbling Dice,Sweet Virginia,Torn & Frayed,Loving Cup,Happy,Ventilator Blues,All Down The Line,Stop Breaking Down,Shine A Light..

They could do...with No Problem..

Hip Shake..Casino Boogie..Turd On The Run..Soul Survivor...

The Rest Would Be Shaky At Best

Charlie

I can't imagine Casino Boogie without those harmonies and Taylor's snaking guitar line at the end.

Personally, I think it's a good possibility. The current line-up is played out, and if they want to continue the current astronomical ticket prices, they need to reinvent the stage act, and playing whole albums live is all the rage now. I had thought from day 1 when the special plans were announced for Exile that it would include them touring behind it, and playing it live as well as a handful of the warhorses. Guess we'll see....

i think it is possible for 3 reasons:

1) classic bands performing entire albums is a bit of a trend right now. ie- springsteen, devo, van morrison, steely dan etc.

2) they need to do something to promote the reissue. touring the album might be a bit much, but being the business men they are, they'll come up with something.

3) a large portion of the album has already been played live. it would only require a few extra tunes.

of course there are many factors that hamper this effort. not having taylor to work his magic, the fact that the band isn't the band from 1971... they are the stones of 2010, and of course it would be a 'risk' in terms of an arena show. casual fans of the band might even know the name exile on mainstreet, but love dancing to brown sugar, satisfaction and miss you.

I am listening to the phish show this morning...its not the Stones, but it is a good listen; since they are a legit band, you dont feel like you are listening to a Stones cover band playing Exile...

by the way you can narrow the search on Sugarmegs by typing adding an exile song in the search engine -- phish turd -- or something similarly "unique" like that.

mutual exclusivity? i think not....

Absolutely yes. It's all about context. A band like Phish playing this is one thing because Phish fans love whatever they do, it doesn't matter. Stones fans, on the other hand...and of course I'm not talking about the people who want to hear such songs, I'm talking about the majority of who goes to see them live and want the hits.

That is the context and that is why it wouldn't work. Maybe in a club it could possibly work. But overall, nobody is going to know what the hell song it is among others on the album...and why would they - it hasn't sold like the other albums. Makes perfect sense.

maybe phish fans love whatever they do cos they do it so dang well? just a thought...

For Phish fans, yes, they do what they do so dang well. That's where it ends.
