Exactly, but this tour is not over yet. We could have some surprises

Break The Spell The past 4 tours have been great as far as song count goes. On earlier tours, there could only be 25-30 different songs played for the entire tour!!

there'd need to be quite a few!

I doubt it'll exceed 60 by the time the tour finishes at the end of August

That's still not bad - although unfortunately too many of those songs get played a couple of times only and too many others get played EVERY night

It seems to be a pattern now that the "A" markets which have got 2 visits and 3-4 shows (eg LA, New York) get the 'nuggets' whereas the cities that get one show only get "Omahed".

The thing is that even though that was a great setlist in LA a couple of nights ago and they changed it because theyd already played there 4 months earlier - most of the people at the show would still have been at their only concert of the tour.

So, in theory, if they figure that an LA audience of mostly one show per tour fans are 'sophisticated' enough to 'get' something beyond the standard set, then a similar rule of thumb should be applied to their next show in Little Rock.

Good to see them mixing it up a bit more, but lets see them take that chance at some of the one-nighters too.

Otherwise, it doesnt bode well for the rest of the tour unless youre going to both nights in Tokyo, Paris, Amsterdam and London. And even then, theyre less likely to make major changes at stadium shows as they do in arenas.

blackandblue The best thing of this tour so far is they play a lot of songs of their new album. They finally made an album they take serious.

I just wish songs like It Won't Take Long and Back Of My hand stayed in the set longer than they did. Still waiting for the debut of Laugh, I Nearly Died.

Huh? Theyve ignored this album more than any other record theyve ever released

Whilst theyve played 7 songs in total, most nights its been 4 songs, sometimes 3 and on a couple of occasions earlier in 2006 as low as two. In a set of 20-21 songs, thats not very many.

At least its been four for the last few weeks which isnt a bad thing, although its sad that "Back of my hand" (the best performed of all the new songs IMO) appears to have gone for good.

My thoughts exactly. On the 78 and 81 tours, as many as 6-7 new songs were done each night. Hell, even Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge usually got 5 songs a night in the set list.
8th March 2006 03:22 PM
rasputin56 Just saying but, Springsteen played 139 different songs on his last tour. To be honest, I really don't know why anyone would go to more than 1 show per tour for them. Apart from the exorbitant prices per ticket, the lack of mixing up the setlist certainly doesn't promote seing multi shows.
8th March 2006 03:29 PM
nanatod "the lack of mixing up the setlist"

The Stones (except for Chuck) obviously don't believe in the Grateful Dead / Dylan school of live performance where the audience has to keep scratching their heads, wondering what song they are listening to.

I really think they'd like to mix it up more, but the bigger the crowd is, the more you have to stick to the big hits, otherwise you run the risk of alienating too much of the crowd. I've seen that first hand when they played Sweet Virginia, Sway and Can't You hear Me Knocking, the majority of the crowd show up just for the hits so thats what the band gives them. One cool thing about the small club shows of 02-03 is digging deep in the catalogue for the die-hards.

nanatod "the bigger the crowd is, the more you have to stick to the big hits, otherwise you run the risk of alienating too much of the crowd."

Otherwise known as the Jimmy Buffet school of setlist preparation.

rasputin56 Like I said, it doesn't encourage people to see more than one show, does it? Once you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all (except for maybe the odd song here and there) Presumably, if you were a real fan you would recognize just about any song thrown at you. One would also hope that the majority of the people there are real fans. If you're happy just getting the same songs, night after night, more power to ya.
8th March 2006 03:42 PM
nanatod "if you were a real fan you would recognize just about any song thrown at you."

True of the Stones, but not true of say, Dylan, but that's because Bob changes the tempos, the rhythms, and probably, the keys of songs when he plays them in concert.

Most of the crowd aren't the die-hards that we are, thats the sad thing. Their more of the casual fans, and some may only like / know 5-10 of the bigger hits. I did notice the songs I'm most into at the live shows are the ones that the least amount of people seem to like. Thats why they continue to pour out the big hits with a few deep cuts here and there.

Not to mention the usually unintelligable vocalizations.

I dont buy this excuse which suggests that the average audience member at a Stones show is so unsophisticated regarding the band's material that they only know about ten songs, yet are still prepared to pay $450 a ticket to see them. If its true, its a statistic completely unique to this band.

Considering the fact that pre-2005, the band had no qualms about playing a show that featured a considerable amount of "non warhorses" and people kept coming back tour after tour to hear them, added to the fact that we're talking about a band who have sold around 250 million records, that claim simply doesnt add up.

I know what you're saying, but with all that in mind, I still have to wonder why the vast majority of their catalogue is unknown to many, even those that pay top dollar for tickets. You're correct in thinking that they should be able to play anything off albums like Sticky Fingers, Exile, Goats Head Soup and Some Girls and have a good crowd reaction given the high numbers these albums have sold worldwide. Sadly thats not always the case.
8th March 2006 04:27 PM
Gazza Probably because a higher proportion of people at Stones gigs are there on a 'corporate' night out than would be the case for any other artist

Seriously, this excuse wasnt a factor prior to this tour. Look at the average setlist from any tour prior to this one.

And if you can assume that at the bare mininimum, anyone who goes to a Stones show would own a copy of "40 Licks" that still leaves over 30 songs that everyone should know and which could be dropped in and out of the set at any time.

I honestly dont believe that if someone goes to one show a tour and the Stones DONT play one or two of their ten best known songs, that person is going to either walk out in disgust or go home so disappointed that they'll never want to see the band again. For a band to feel like they're hostages to such a narrow minded mentality and to feel obliged to tailor a show to that kind of 'customer' is baffling
8th March 2006 06:18 PM
Soldatti 53 is a good number, sadly many were played a couple of times only.

8 of the 78 songs played on the Licks tour made their tour debut on the European leg (Heartbreaker, Nearness Of You, Out Of Control, Starfucker, Paint It Black, Theif In The Night, Saint Of Me, Salt Of The Earth).
With only stadium shows on this year's European tour, this number will naturally be lower.
9th March 2006 07:09 AM
Break The Spell I think its still amazing that "Dance Pt. 1" made its live debut before "Emotional Rescue", the big hit on the album that has yet to be played.
9th March 2006 07:28 AM
Gazza "Dance" simply works better in concert (anyway, it was only played once or twice wasnt it?), is a far superior song and is easier to play. The vocal on "Emotional Rescue" would be quite hard to pull off I would think.

ER is certainly the weakest single the Stones ever released. only Streets of Love comes close.

Its noticeable that they havent played THAT either!

I have now talked with MANY people who will go to see them in Horsens. Nobody, and I do mean NOBODY, could name ten songs from the Stones. Of course it's the first time they play here, but the most albums were also sold in Jutland. It's funny that most people don't know Brown Sugar, but know The Singer Not The Song. OK, it is only one concert I'm talking about, but still. It's very weird doncha think?
