As the tour winds along, it's become increasingly obvious that the STONES have one master setlist for all shows whether they be arena or stadium shows makes little difference. Outside of a song here and maybe a song there, everyone is getting basically the same show.
It's a greatest hits package with the same warhorses played each night in more or less the same basic order with the same three to four songs played from A Bigger Bang (Rough Justice, Back of My Hand, Infamy, Oh No Not You Again with BOMH played on some nights and not on others) and one cover song (most nights Night Time with Get Up Stand Up mixed in every now and then). Keith in particular seems slavishly stuck on The Worst and Infamy.
Don't get me wrong. I've always thought performance is of greater importance that setlist. From all accounts, the performances on this tour have been good to great. It could be to keep the same consistant high performances; the STONES feel the need on this tour to play the same setlist each and every night. I'll be excited when I see them live myself and will be happy with this setlist.
It appears, outside of the occasional Rocks Off or Paint It Black, tour debuts are going to be few and far between. One wonders when or if more songs from A Bigger Bang will actually be played outside of the four that are set in stone.

I'm wondering if they're going to keep the same setlist for this leg of the tour (with a few surprises of course) and then perhaps change it (?) for the European part?
Well, I can dream, can't I?
Alright, don't play Sway if you don't feel like it (though I don't see why ), but try to at least add more from ABB. What's the point in having a new album if you don't play it live? |
