For the most part, I dig the sound of that tour: furiously, cocaine-ily uptempo, twangy, punk-rocky. Fifties gems like "Twenty Flight Rock" and Motown's "Going to a Go-Go" worked perfectly, as, obviously, did the contemporary Some Girls-ER-Tattoo-You stuff. With hit albums at their back, they didn't feel compelled to unearth a lot of old stuff, Under My Thumb and LSTNT excepted.
But, for the same reason, I have a hard time imagining what some of those songs would've sounded like: Sympathy, Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, etc -- the Taylor-era material, basically.
What else would have sounded strange?
On the flip side, I think Live With Me would've worked well on that tour. And Connection. And anything Chuck Berry -- Carol, Little Queenie, etc.

| Gimme Shelter |
I think Emotional Rescue would have sounded strange even though it came out a year before. |

Nothing rocks better than 1981 tour,set list was perfect
as it was.They just should have played down the road apice
a lot more,same with tops.
Street fighting man fitted very well in the set.
Paint it black,,,thats the song which doesn´t fit on the set. |

Hot stuff would have been even crappier than it ever was. |

THey did Angie in 82 - and it was very good
The songs mentioned in the first post wouldn't make sense in 81/82.
I'd think Rocks Off would have been terrific though |

Heavy electric guitar by Keith and Ronnie - riffing instead of gentle playing, it was quite a version indeed

Agreed Baby Marko .......................
I love listening to boots from the 1981 tour . Whenever I hear ANYTHING off of " Hampton '81 " I get that " The Party Has Just Started Feeling " . Indeed , I hear barkers and see colored balloons falling down all around me ....... and you's ?!
" Hit Me Ronnie ! "

Angie was great in '82. Listen to Shattered in Europe (? The Naples show) for proof.
Midnight Rambler would've been interesting in 81-82. |

81 Tour...each song..imho..sounded very similar in style and pace and was hard to distinguish the tunes.Each featured a lengthy and sometimes unneccessary saxaphone solo by the other Watts.... |

| speedfreakjive |
anything of Exile would have sounded good |

Fingerprint File wouldn't have fit the sound of that tour.
Too bad they didn't play either Summer Romance or Where the Boys Are off ER in 81 or 82. I think the former in particular would've cooked live at that time.
Speaking of Rocks Off, IT should be played every tour IMHO, surprised they've never used it as an opening song. It would be perfect.
