ZoSoRose Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I really like Sweet Summer Sun, don't get all the hate for the Hyde Park shows (although you were there, Amir, so I trust your opinion!)Anyways, I like the stage for this new tour. I think it looks pretty cool, but apparently it is really high up. People on IORR said they couldn't see from the floor. That's a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 There were so many gigs on the 50 & Counting tour that were so much better than Hyde Park. Hyde Park had possibly the 2 most boring setlists of the whole tour, a different stage set (Which, let's face it - had nothing on the tongue stage), and the band weren't firing on all cylinders the way they were for most of the US gigs and Glastonbury. Throw in the fact that the last two tours have each had box sets with 3 gigs, and the fact that they didn't even bother to release the full Hyde Park gig, it was just a disappointment.When you take it for what it is, it's not bad. And I'll be the first to admit the cinematography on it is nothing short of beautiful. But for the Stones' standards it doesn't meet expectations.

It is minimal, yet exciting and allows the band to connect with the audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Do they ever do Moonlight Mile or Have You Seen Your Mother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I know it's not exactly on topic but I didn't want to look for and bump any of the other Rolling Stones threads.So the Stones are in Chicago and they go see Muddy Waters play and they're sitting there relaxing enjoying the performance and he calls Mick Jagger on stage to sing with him. I don't know, maybe I'm looking too deep into this but Mick looks so bothered by that! It's like 'come on! I'm on my day off!' I love how he goes 'yeah, what about Keith?!' - like 'if I have to work so does he!' Jagger has always struck me as someone who sees music in general and performing live in particular as a job. By contrast Keith and Ronnie always look like they're enjoying their time on stage immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Christ, Keef'd fall asleep by Wild Horses!Add the slow bluesy Cocksucker Blues to that list too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Do they ever do Moonlight Mile or Have You Seen Your Mother?They did Moonlight Mile a handful of times in the 90s. They rehearsed it for this year too, so they may play it again. Not sure about Have You Seen Your Mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I don't think they rehearse all these obscure songs specifically in order to play them, but rather to decide whether to play them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I don't think they rehearse all these obscure songs specifically in order to play them, but rather to decide whether to play them or not.Well...yeah. The setlists (especially on the 50 & Counting tour) proved that just because they rehearse something, it's in no way a guarantee that they'll play it. They are indicative of what the options are for rarities, so I wouldn't rule out Moonlight Mile yet. It was an option for one of the votes in the US last year, so couple that with the fact that they rehearsed it for 2014, I definitely think it's a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Decent setlist...certainly no worse than Abu Dhabi. Glad GOOMC is back as the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Safe generic setlist....but good to see Mick T got three songs this concert and did one with Keef! Hopefully they continue to give him more songs as the tour goes along........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always want to see the hits if you haven't seen the band before. A few deep cuts are always nice though if you are a huge fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
