Anyone been checking out the setlists from late 2012? Whoa...really excited. Looks like they're opening with the same thing every night, and then the last 5-6 songs, including the encore are the same. But there's been some decent variation each night. 20-22 songs on average? I'm impressed.
Can't fucking wait.

Can't fucking wait.
They didn't open with the same song every night, they opened with "I Wanna Be Your Man" at the first 02 show. According to the setlist that was put up on Twitter prior to the Pay-Per-View show they were going to open with it then too, but sometime between then and the start of the broadcast they changed it back to "Get Off Of My Cloud" like they did the other shows.
I'm hoping they mix up Keith's set some. I know "Happy" and "Before They Make Me Run" are his two most popular songs, but he has a bunch others that are popular and work great live, and I think he did the same two numbers every night. "Little T&A", "Connection", "Wanna Hold You", etc are all crowd pleasers as well.
Or even better, do "Learning The Game" again, I was at that show in Austin, it was epic...

Ok, generally speaking, they're opening with the same thing. The point is the same: they are doing some variations which are nice. Would love to get "Hand of Fate" one night, but I think Mick is way passed that...
I agree on the Keith Songs. Personally, his voice may have aged better than Mick's. I'd love to see them do off "Black & Blue." Keith's voice on "Memory Motel" is one of my favorites.

Would love to get "Hand of Fate" one night, but I think Mick is way passed that...
I LOVE that song, not sure why. Musically it's not all that interesting or anything, it just has a good groove and cool lyrics. I don't think hearing it is as far fetched as you might think though, they played it on the Licks Tour in '03. They may have played it more times, but that's the one time I know of for sure in modern history they played it.
Here's the video, it's from the Paris show. It's not some cell phone video, pro-shot from their official channel.
I'd say any easy to play Open G rocker is in contention to be on the setlist, and Hand Of Fate is both. It's not often they play much off of Black And Blue except for Memory Motel though, but it's not impossible. When I saw them for the first time in '97 they played Crazy Mama, which rocked. That was actually the first time I heard it as I didn't own Black And Blue yet back then. Good little album though.

I'm so excited for this show.
Any songs/albums you're looking for? I mean, we'll get the classics, which, having never seen them, is fine with me. What songs are you pining for? How many times have you seen them?
Personally, I'd love anything off "Black & Blue" or "Some Girls."

Personally, I'd love anything off "Black & Blue" or "Some Girls."
I'm not going (they're not coming close enough and I'm not really able to take off) so I don't really have a wishlist for the shows. There are some stuff I'd like them to do, and then hopefully get it on an album or DVD or something. With Taylor on board for the 50th shows I had hopes for Sway, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Time Waits For No One, etc. My personal holy grail for any Stones show would be Taylor playing on "Dance Little Sister", I'd punch an old woman in the mouth to see that.
I've seen them twice, first time at Texas Motor Speedway on the Bridges To Babylon Tour in '97 and the second time on the Bigger Bang tour '06 in Austin. The first time I went to see them my wishlist mainly consisted of "Paint It, Black" and "Monkey Man", neither of which they played at either show, but it was all good. During those two shows I got to hear some somewhat rare or deep album cuts. Like "Star Star", "Crazy Mama", "Sway", etc. And some covers like "Learning The Game", "Little Queenie" and "Bob Wills Is Still The King".
You'll likely get some "Some Girls" stuff, it's one of their more popular albums and seems well represented in concerts in recent years. I think "Miss You" is sort of a given, and if Keith's pattern keeps up, so is "Before They Make Me Run". "Beast Of Burden", "Shattered" and "Respectable" are all pretty common concert staples as well. I'd like to see them play some of the songs from the bonus disc of the re-issue. "Claudine" would be awesome. I loved "No Spare Parts" but I'm not sure it would translate too well live.

Of the two shows I've seen I've gotten off Sticky Fingers: Brown Sugar, Sway, Bitch and Dead Flowers. I'd always hoped for Can't You Hear Me Knocking, but it really wasn't that good with Ronnie. But now that Taylor's back, and I know he can still play it as he played it when he sat in with Roots on Fallon, it would probably be really badass.
I wouldn't hold my breath for Carol, they don't seem to be doing Chuck Berry covers anymore.

It would take digging through 50 years of setlists to be sure, but I'm pretty sure that's a new one. I've never heard, or heard of, them playing that at any other concert. I'm surprised to see it on the list, but it has a good groove so I'd say it's right up their alley and they can make it work.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
There are rumors over at IORR (including from bv, the guy who runs the site and always knows what's going on) that these shows are the "first batch", and we'll get a tour of the southern U.S. come winter time. bv even came out and said Dallas, so I might get to see the old boys one last time after all. I just hope he's right, but so far I've never seen him be wrong. As somebody over there pointed out, and if history is any indication, they probably won't be able to resist the pull of Jerry's Death Star.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
From what I hear it's pointless to go down there though, but if you live in the area you might try. Secret shows don't get past Stones fans, they're usually lined up around the block before anybody knows what's going on. There were over a hundred people lined up there this morning, and the news just now broke.

I got a text from somebody at 9am who was already in line, and he was probably within the first 100 at that time.
It's a lottery. People that have been lined up for hours are going to go nuts if they miss out.
There hasn't been any actual word yet on what the lottery is all about. Some people seem to think it's just to decide where you'll be seeing the show from once inside. There was something about people lining up for tickets, then those with tickets will be in a lottery for wristbands. Or something. Hell if I know. Various information keeps coming in, and it's confusing. Some people are now talking about a change of venue because somebody from a band named "NewBuild" or "New Build" has taken to Twitter saying something about the Stones stealing their venue for the night, and then saying they talked the Stones into playing somewhere else (yeah right), so there's no telling what's going on.

Tickets are being sold at the El Rey Theatre (which is booked tonight with Shugie Otis) but the gig will be at the Echoplex. New Build was supposed to play the Echoplex tonight and they've been bumped to another venue. The official press release (http://www.aeglive.com/promos/therollingstones/gig.html) says it's a ticket lottery. If selected, person can buy 1 ticket at $20 and then has to have ticket, wristband, and ID to enter.
...and here's word from the venue:
The Echo @TheEchoLA 2m
The Stones show at Echoplex is SOLD OUT. No tickets available at the door. Need Gov issued ID, ticket, & matching wristband to enter. Enjoy!
Apparently it was a late number drawn so all the people at the back of the line will get in and the ones who had been lined up for hours got shut out. Yikes.
Apparently it was a late number drawn so all the people at the back of the line will get in and the ones who had been lined up for hours got shut out. Yikes.
I think the purpose of the random drawing was to keep the "insiders" who seem to be at every one of these secret shows (these insiders never seem to share the information with other fans either) from being the only ones to ever get in. It's not really fair that the people who have been lined up since 5am aren't getting in, but for the people in the back, middle, or wherever, it's not fair they weren't operating on the same intelligence the people at the front had.
Also, Stones just put up a pic from rehearsals...
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
Concerning the lottery, from what I'm gathering, and from a post I just read by Dean at IORR, it wasn't the people up front or in the back or who lucky/screwed. He said a woman went down the line with a bucket of numbered tickets which people drew randomly. Then they went back to the front of the line and had somebody draw a ticket from another bucket, the ticket number drawn as well as the 200 or so after that got the wristbands.
Also, they let more people in besides the lotto winners. After the lottery was finished another line formed, and those with lotto tickets who didn't win were allowed to buy tickets. So many people left after the lottery announcement that everybody who stayed pretty much got in, they just stopped letting the others in 30 minutes ago.

I accidentally fell asleep last night before they probably even took the stage, so I'm seeing this setlist for the first time right now. Really good club gig setlist, really like seeing Love In Vain and Street FIghting Man.
I especially love seeing That's How Strong My Love Is, probably my favorite Stones cover. Otis Redding's version was a cover too though, it's actually an O.V. Wright song written by Roosevelt Jameson. Though the Stones version resembles Otis' musical arrangement of the song a little more than Wright's version.
Really surprised to see Little Queenie, they've sort of stopped doing Chuck Berry covers in recent years.
Also, not to nitpick, you probably know this, but since you were handing out writing credits for cover songs, Love In Vain is by Robert Johnson.

Some pictures of last night courtesy of the official Stones Facebook page...
And somebody posted this on IORR. Brown Sugar is not one of my favorite Stones songs, and live versions don't do much for me either, except the Brussels Affair one was kind of interesting. But it's a video of it from the warm-up gig last night, and it's pretty smoking. Especially the last couple of minutes, they're really getting into it and seem to be having a lot of fun, and the guitars sound great. Both Keith and Ronnie do some nice fills. The sound isn't the greatest, but the sound and picture are better than the typical cell phone video (the tambourines are a bit loud near the beginning) but it's not pro shot.
And since Keith isn't playing with a capo on the 7th fret, it means they're rehearsing something other than Midnight Rambler with Taylor.
Ronnie is playing in open tuning with his "Stay with Me" guitar and has a slide. I suspect this is "Let It Bleed" they are rehearsing. It's possible that he's playing Love In Vain, but I believe Keith plays that in an open tuning and usually on a tele. I also think it could be a three guitar version of Dead Flowers if they added a slide part for Ronnie.
There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

They didn't open with the same song every night, they opened with "I Wanna Be Your Man" at the first 02 show. According to the setlist that was put up on Twitter prior to the Pay-Per-View show they were going to open with it then too, but sometime between then and the start of the broadcast they changed it back to "Get Off Of My Cloud" like they did the other shows.
I'm hoping they mix up Keith's set some. I know "Happy" and "Before They Make Me Run" are his two most popular songs, but he has a bunch others that are popular and work great live, and I think he did the same two numbers every night. "Little T&A", "Connection", "Wanna Hold You", etc are all crowd pleasers as well.
Or even better, do "Learning The Game" again, I was at that show in Austin, it was epic...

Ok, generally speaking, they're opening with the same thing. The point is the same: they are doing some variations which are nice. Would love to get "Hand of Fate" one night, but I think Mick is way passed that...
I agree on the Keith Songs. Personally, his voice may have aged better than Mick's. I'd love to see them do off "Black & Blue." Keith's voice on "Memory Motel" is one of my favorites.

I LOVE that song, not sure why. Musically it's not all that interesting or anything, it just has a good groove and cool lyrics. I don't think hearing it is as far fetched as you might think though, they played it on the Licks Tour in '03. They may have played it more times, but that's the one time I know of for sure in modern history they played it.
Here's the video, it's from the Paris show. It's not some cell phone video, pro-shot from their official channel.

I'd say any easy to play Open G rocker is in contention to be on the setlist, and Hand Of Fate is both. It's not often they play much off of Black And Blue except for Memory Motel though, but it's not impossible. When I saw them for the first time in '97 they played Crazy Mama, which rocked. That was actually the first time I heard it as I didn't own Black And Blue yet back then. Good little album though.
I'm so excited for this show.
Any songs/albums you're looking for? I mean, we'll get the classics, which, having never seen them, is fine with me. What songs are you pining for? How many times have you seen them?
Personally, I'd love anything off "Black & Blue" or "Some Girls."

I'm not going (they're not coming close enough and I'm not really able to take off) so I don't really have a wishlist for the shows. There are some stuff I'd like them to do, and then hopefully get it on an album or DVD or something. With Taylor on board for the 50th shows I had hopes for Sway, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Time Waits For No One, etc. My personal holy grail for any Stones show would be Taylor playing on "Dance Little Sister", I'd punch an old woman in the mouth to see that.
I've seen them twice, first time at Texas Motor Speedway on the Bridges To Babylon Tour in '97 and the second time on the Bigger Bang tour '06 in Austin. The first time I went to see them my wishlist mainly consisted of "Paint It, Black" and "Monkey Man", neither of which they played at either show, but it was all good. During those two shows I got to hear some somewhat rare or deep album cuts. Like "Star Star", "Crazy Mama", "Sway", etc. And some covers like "Learning The Game", "Little Queenie" and "Bob Wills Is Still The King".
You'll likely get some "Some Girls" stuff, it's one of their more popular albums and seems well represented in concerts in recent years. I think "Miss You" is sort of a given, and if Keith's pattern keeps up, so is "Before They Make Me Run". "Beast Of Burden", "Shattered" and "Respectable" are all pretty common concert staples as well. I'd like to see them play some of the songs from the bonus disc of the re-issue. "Claudine" would be awesome. I loved "No Spare Parts" but I'm not sure it would translate too well live.
Would love some deeper Sticky Fingers cuts.
Also would love to get "Carol."

Of the two shows I've seen I've gotten off Sticky Fingers: Brown Sugar, Sway, Bitch and Dead Flowers. I'd always hoped for Can't You Hear Me Knocking, but it really wasn't that good with Ronnie. But now that Taylor's back, and I know he can still play it as he played it when he sat in with Roots on Fallon, it would probably be really badass.
I wouldn't hold my breath for Carol, they don't seem to be doing Chuck Berry covers anymore.

It would take digging through 50 years of setlists to be sure, but I'm pretty sure that's a new one. I've never heard, or heard of, them playing that at any other concert. I'm surprised to see it on the list, but it has a good groove so I'd say it's right up their alley and they can make it work.

PM me if anyone is interested. Face value, of course.

Would have been all over this if I wasn't going to the Kings game.
From what I hear it's pointless to go down there though, but if you live in the area you might try. Secret shows don't get past Stones fans, they're usually lined up around the block before anybody knows what's going on. There were over a hundred people lined up there this morning, and the news just now broke.
wasn't planning to once i saw the line in the pic
I got a text from somebody at 9am who was already in line, and he was probably within the first 100 at that time.
There hasn't been any actual word yet on what the lottery is all about. Some people seem to think it's just to decide where you'll be seeing the show from once inside. There was something about people lining up for tickets, then those with tickets will be in a lottery for wristbands. Or something. Hell if I know. Various information keeps coming in, and it's confusing. Some people are now talking about a change of venue because somebody from a band named "NewBuild" or "New Build" has taken to Twitter saying something about the Stones stealing their venue for the night, and then saying they talked the Stones into playing somewhere else (yeah right), so there's no telling what's going on.
Tickets are being sold at the El Rey Theatre (which is booked tonight with Shugie Otis) but the gig will be at the Echoplex. New Build was supposed to play the Echoplex tonight and they've been bumped to another venue. The official press release (http://www.aeglive.com/promos/therollingstones/gig.html) says it's a ticket lottery. If selected, person can buy 1 ticket at $20 and then has to have ticket, wristband, and ID to enter.
...and here's word from the venue:
The Echo @TheEchoLA 2m
The Stones show at Echoplex is SOLD OUT. No tickets available at the door. Need Gov issued ID, ticket, & matching wristband to enter. Enjoy!
Apparently it was a late number drawn so all the people at the back of the line will get in and the ones who had been lined up for hours got shut out. Yikes.
I think the purpose of the random drawing was to keep the "insiders" who seem to be at every one of these secret shows (these insiders never seem to share the information with other fans either) from being the only ones to ever get in. It's not really fair that the people who have been lined up since 5am aren't getting in, but for the people in the back, middle, or wherever, it's not fair they weren't operating on the same intelligence the people at the front had.
Also, Stones just put up a pic from rehearsals...
Also, they let more people in besides the lotto winners. After the lottery was finished another line formed, and those with lotto tickets who didn't win were allowed to buy tickets. So many people left after the lottery announcement that everybody who stayed pretty much got in, they just stopped letting the others in 30 minutes ago.
And since Keith isn't playing with a capo on the 7th fret, it means they're rehearsing something other than Midnight Rambler with Taylor.

I accidentally fell asleep last night before they probably even took the stage, so I'm seeing this setlist for the first time right now. Really good club gig setlist, really like seeing Love In Vain and Street FIghting Man.
I especially love seeing That's How Strong My Love Is, probably my favorite Stones cover. Otis Redding's version was a cover too though, it's actually an O.V. Wright song written by Roosevelt Jameson. Though the Stones version resembles Otis' musical arrangement of the song a little more than Wright's version.
Really surprised to see Little Queenie, they've sort of stopped doing Chuck Berry covers in recent years.
Also, not to nitpick, you probably know this, but since you were handing out writing credits for cover songs, Love In Vain is by Robert Johnson.
And somebody posted this on IORR. Brown Sugar is not one of my favorite Stones songs, and live versions don't do much for me either, except the Brussels Affair one was kind of interesting. But it's a video of it from the warm-up gig last night, and it's pretty smoking. Especially the last couple of minutes, they're really getting into it and seem to be having a lot of fun, and the guitars sound great. Both Keith and Ronnie do some nice fills. The sound isn't the greatest, but the sound and picture are better than the typical cell phone video (the tambourines are a bit loud near the beginning) but it's not pro shot.

Ronnie is playing in open tuning with his "Stay with Me" guitar and has a slide. I suspect this is "Let It Bleed" they are rehearsing. It's possible that he's playing Love In Vain, but I believe Keith plays that in an open tuning and usually on a tele. I also think it could be a three guitar version of Dead Flowers if they added a slide part for Ronnie.
