The following is a fantasy news report describing opening night on the 1991 US tour (which obviously didnt happen in case you are new here!). The stones toured behind no security, so maybe they could have toured Flashpoint. Anyway, i just felt like writing this!
AP - As the lights dimmed at Soldier Field in Chicago, the no so familiar sounds of Brian Jones Pipes of jakukala(sp) filled the air, stones fans spanning four generations rose to their feet. As the pipes faded out, a figure, smoke emitting from his lit cigarette, appeared center stage to fire out the intro to Paint it Black. Almost immediately after the last chord, the band dove right back into their old catalog to and played the little known number "It's not Easy". Mick said hello to the bears fans in the crowd and congradulated them on their 2nd straight super bowl win (it is fantasy right?). At Charlies count, they fired on all cylinders playing Honkey Tonk Women. The new single, "Highwire" was next, followed up with the 1983 song "All the way Down". Mick, wanting to catch his breath a little bit slowed the tempo down with the Otis redding classic "I've been loving you too long", which they recorded in the sixties. Keeping a slow tempo, "Down in the Hole" was next off of Emotional Rescue. A favorite from the steel wheels tour, almost hear you sigh was next as mick joked that this concludes the romantic part of the show as old rubber lips ripped into a "drinkin with the boys" version or It's only rock and roll. Keith took the stage to perform Slipping Away and Before they make me run. After a few more classics, Mick put on the cowboy hat and played "Factory Girl" puting a smile on many of the die hards who missed that song when it was played last year in Europe. Sweet Virginia followed. With an explosion "Start Me Up"brought everyone to their feet, as did "Brown Sugar" and "Street Fighting Man". After Satisfaction, the band left the stage, only to reappear for two more songs, "Miss You" and "Jumping Jack Flash". And then they were gone, getting all the opening night jitters out of the way.

Y'know something? Thats etlist really isn't too far-fetched. I mean, look at the Steel Wheels tour itself. Who honestly expected that they'd play 2000 Light Years From Home? Or Play with Fire? Or Factory Girl? Or Salt of the Earth? |

If they toured for Flashpoint, it would have been headlining Rock N Rio '91 as well as other South American shows, then Australia and New Zealand while Summer is in full swing in the southern hemisphere. Setlist similiar to but not exactly the same as Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle. Perhaps a few select shows in markets overlooked on the Steel Wheels tour, but 1991 was the single worse year ever for the concert promotors and it is doubtful Mick would want to come back so soon under those circumstances. |
