..what songs/arrangements would you play? I'd try to make our setlist like this:
(studio percussion of Sympathy playing)
then we come out and start with
Brown Sugar (76 style, guitar solo a la RW in place of sax)
Bitch (72 style, one guitar playing main riff, other adding Keith-like fills/solo)
Crazy Mama (lots of delay on lead guitar)
Loving Cup (Vancouver 72 style)
Wild Horses (75 style, perhaps some phaser)
Shine a Light (raw and dirty, but with everyone joining in on chorus bvocs)
Ventilator Blues (use slide for solo)
Black Limousine (81 style..of course! but longer 2nd guitar solo)
mini cover set
Just My Imagination (78 style, no wimpy horns)
I Don't Know Why (replicate the sick slide playing)
"Keith set"
You Got the Silver (of course Mick impersonator stays on stage to help out w/ vocals)
Slipping Away (ditto)
Winter (piano + strings)
Dead Flowers (72 style)
I Go Wild (3 guitars)
Jiving Sister Fanny (mostly a guitar jam, lyrics can be improvised)
Hide Your Love (not as long as album version, end around 3:00)
It's Only Rock n Roll (Love You Live style, guitars a blazin)
Encore
Sweet Little Sixteen (78 style baby)
Star Star (76 style..with Jimmy Page lyric)
If I could find a few musicians with similar musical tastes..anythings possible! |

Three slow songs starting with Keefs set will empty a bar unless you are playing to strictly stones fans. When I was in a stones tribute band, we typically played the same arrangement that was most recently used on tour with the following exceptions:
Respectable (played 78 live style/studio)
Start Me Up (Played 89 live arrangement)
Paint it Black (Played 89 arrangement)
LSTNT (81 version)
Under My Thumb (81 version)
SHelter (72 arrangement)
We found it best to play a fast first set with mostly songs from the sixties or warhorses, with a maximum of one or two album cuts (we usually used Live with Me, If You Cant Rock Me, or Cant you Hear Me Knocking in the first set, then the rest warhorses). We then would usually open the second set with a warhorse (usually SMU) and then start to mix it up from there, the later in the night, the more boozed up people are and the more fun they are having, and songs that have a nice tempo go over well at this point (Starfucker, Bitch, Dont Stop, etc). We kept the ballads to a minimum or played a small acoustic mini set during our set break, otherwise we would end our second set with a slow tune (i liked ending with Torn and Frayed). Always leave a song you play well to encore with if appropriate, but dont keep your best song for this unless you are the first band. We used IORR or Rambler in this spot usually.
I hope that helps! |

Definitely a good call on dropping the slow songs. And amen Voodoochile..if I went to see a Stones cover band with little expectations and they busted out SFTD 69 style, I'd faint. But there are really no limits for a cover band, because its not only your personal or "fantasy" setlist, but its the fantasy arrangements too. So in place of those 3 slow ones in a row, perhaps
Satisfaction (69 style, Gimme Shelter anyone)
Under My Thumb (81 style guitar riff)
Respectable (Handsome Girls styleeeeee) |

Hang Fire always seemed to go over very well when we played it |

SFM '69-'72 years
Slow build, wild, raucous finish
Add in the stage long mirror hanging from the rafters
with super trouper lights aimed at mirror while it swings for maximum effect from '72 tour for a show stopper.
Hey, you need to wow them don't you? |
