Rolling Stones...

[CaledonianGonzo]

Far Away Eyes though....

Dr CG prescribes a course of repeated listenings to Some Girls. Your lack of love for Faraway Eyes and Beast of Burden needs to be remedied.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I tried, I really did. I even bought (and still own) the pink 12" single....... but, sorry

Passing aside the opportunity to make jokes about pink twelve-inchers, even if you dislike the nmothership I'd still recommend the extra album on the special edition that came out a couple of years ago. Most of it's a lot more old-school than the album, and it's a better than average Stones album in its own right.

[Wooderson]

It is interesting how much theyre caning "Some Girls" recently. You'd almost think there was a super-deluxe re-issue of it in the last 18 months.

[Wooderson]

Pink Twelve Incher. ha

[CaledonianGonzo]

A lot of songs from it on the Shine A Light movie, too, though I put that more down to the fact it was recorded in NYC.

As an album I love it - their last real masterpiece - but I get the feeling it means a lot more to their US fanbase than it does to people on this side of the pond.

Taylor now doing four tracks. This was the one to be at.

And that ladies and gentlemen, will do nicely.

Out of interest, this whole 'vote a song' thing, will that occur at Glastonbury? I can feel an overwhelming landslide for Dancing in the Street coming on...

Nah - I think it's a thing for Citibank customers.

Not impossible that Barclaycard may do something like that for Hyde Park, but doubt Glastonbury will factor into that.

Edit: Can't watch the CYHMK clip, but people on IORR are seriously losing their marbles over it.

IORR is a proper shitbox. Borderline BTX stuff.

Do we think they'll do a set that long?. I can see it being around 18 songs

yeah they'll probably have to cut a fair few songs - hopefully Doom & Gloom / One More Shot, but it'll probably be these interchanging songs they're doing on their tour. if i was gonna take a guess at their setlist (based on their current ones) i'd say:

Get Off My Cloud

It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It)

Paint It Black

Gimme Shelter

All Down The Line

Doom & Gloom

Honkey Tonk Women

Before They Make Me Run

Happy

Midnight Rambler

Miss You

Start Me Up

Tumbling Dice

Brown Sugar

Sympathy For The Devil

You Can't Always Get What You Want

Jumpin' Jack Flash

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

[GlastoSimon]

Possibly not, I'll meet you in the middle though and suggest it'll be around 20/21. Their shows are around 2h30 aren't they? And I can't see, after all this hard work getting them, the Stones having a short set time.

Hope you're right - I'd be more than happy with that

It's certainly going to be most of that - party time! Excellent!

[The Nal]

apart from it being a little slow, that's as good as one could realistically hope for. Pretty good

That will do nicely Tonyo! Can't ask for better than that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not even Before They Make Me Run?

You'll be telling me next that you don't like Memory Motel!

[shineongas]

Shall a la la Shall a la la

Now I'd definitely vote for that on a Glastonbury setlist

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd hazard a guess that you wouldn't even like to see them do Time Waits For No One?

Sorry to go back to it but the Bowie gig in 2000 was rammed from front to back. I began watching it from high up on the hill and it was bloody murder trying to get further forwards, and this was pre-camping chairs days! It had been rumoured that he would run through the hits for weeks and EVERYONE went to see him (apart from a couple of people who shall remain nameless but will never forgive themselves) plus it was the year that sooooooo many people bunked in that they had to invent the "Superfence"! the festival and its demographic have changed a lot since then but I think it'll be similar for The Stones, if it's dry.

[mike46]

These video's are getting better with every night, but I can't for the life of me understand why people who have paid so much spend all night filming.

It might just be the videos but the crowd seem lifeless....the Stones are going to be in for a real shock when they arrive at Glasto!

[Gnomicide]

I like Shattered, Some Girls and Just My Imagination... that's it

I don't like Shattered but plenty of great tunes on Some Girls.

Very much liking Mick Taylor doing more tracks. Although I've seen them do it before, add Sweet Virginia to that set list and I'll be a very happy camper.

Mick wants to spend time with his family while at Glasto...

It maybe seems like a small thing, but I wouldn't discount the role that Jagger's daughters probably played in getting the old goat to agree to play for a fraction of his usual asking price.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

From the videos up on youtube they do seem to be hitting form, 5 more weeks of fine tuning and i think we're onto a winner!

[CaledonianGonzo]

11 more shows to go in the US and Canada, with the final pre-Glasto show in DC on Mon 24th of June.

Hopefully that 4 day lay-off and Transatlantic flight won't throw any spanners into the works.

And hopefully they have a rehearsal room booked somewhere for the Saturday to help iron out any kinks.
