my source has revealed that SMU has been rehearsed.
A very under played, obscure track. .. .. ..
*In all seriousness I did actually happen to see The Rolling Stones in concert once and they did NOT play Satisfaction. This isn't a play on words ... it isn't a riddle. It is what it is. I actually saw them play a full concert and they did not include Satisfaction that evening.
Anyone wanna guess which tour or show?

They didnt play it all on the No Security US Tour - they omitted 'Miss You' every night too.
And despite charging the most obscene ticket prices ever seen in the history of rock music to that point (a record theyve since topped several times over) people didnt walk out in disgust and still came back next tour in their millions.
'Miss You' was rarely played on the Licks tour either.
'Satisfaction' was barely played ten times in the decade before 1981.
Proof that the notion that they 'have' to play certain songs is utter bollocks.
Gazza. You are correct in that I was speaking of seeing them on No Security in Pittsburgh (speaking of which... grab a plane... would love to see and meet up with you and other Rocks Off folks there in Pitt. this tour ha) and that they didn't play satisfaction in that show.
To support your arguement ... I said to my friend after the No Security show .. "Hey no 'Satisfaction'". His response ...."It wasn't <needed>"
