Come on, I'm a huge Stones fan, but this comparison made me smile. The Stones message boards are filled with fans bitching about the setlist all the time when they are on tour due to the band's reliance on "the hits." You can be about 90% sure when attending one of their concerts that you will hear Satisfaction, Jumpin Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Woman, Miss You, It's Only Rock and Roll, Brown Sugar, Sympathy for the Devil, and so on. They toured in 2005-07 behind a new album, A Bigger Bang, which I thought was filled with great songs. When I saw them shortly after the tour started they played a whopping three songs from it, and aside from those three, two songs were from 1994 and after that the songs in the remainder of the 21 song set were from 1981 or earlier.
That being said, I had a fantastic show last week Sunday and felt that they were worth going to see!
