Title: Song Vote for Shanghai
Post by LadyJane on Mar 10th, 2014 at 2:35pm
Sometimes I think they lurk...............

Live With Me
Street Fighting Man
Rocks Off
When The Whip Comes Down.


Any would be a welcome change but my vote is SFM. Seems appropriate for China.

This has gone past laughable...and is parked squarely in goofy land

I wish Keith could do Rocks Off justice...or Mick for that matter.
Why do they do the fan vote...haven't they mocked us enough?

Hmmmm

Because choosing from 6 songs is not conducive to the Chinese lifestyle??

Since Some Girls is one of the few Stones albums allowed to be sold in China...I would say WTWCD is the winner (already)

Weren't they forbidden to play SFM last time they were in China?

I doubt you can access a Stones website from China due to their oppressive internet censorship so who is voting there?

Four songs were banned from 40 Licks - from memory, I think it was Lets Spend The Night Together, Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar and (quite bizarrely) Beast of Burden.

When the Stones played there in 2006, they were asked not to play these four songs as well as the newly recorded and apparently equally unacceptable "Rough Justice". They agreed (only three were in the set anyway), with Jagger saying that it was no problem and they'd just replace them with other songs.

The gig went ahead - the Stones evidently 'forgot' to replace the banned songs and Shanghai duly got a 18-song set instead of  the standard 21. One of which was that momentous duet of 'Wild Horses' with Cui Juan that popped up on the official DVD.

The show was filmed for broadcast on Chinese TV. I dont think it was ever shown. I personally reckon the producers watched the tapes and figured that apart from Cui Juan's diction-perfect performance, the rest was indecipherable.

If this site is any indicator, probably spambots!

He is considered to be a pioneer in Chinese rock music and one of the first Chinese artists to write rock songs. For this distinction Cui Jian is often labeled "The Father of Chinese Rock"....a title often given to Dee-Dee Ramone.

In early 2003 Cui Jian was authorized to open for the Rolling Stones' concert in Beijing. In a 2003 interview, Cui claimed that in the 1980s he'd learned Rolling Stones and Beatles songs to improve his guitar skills. He was also quoted as having three dreams: to perform in his home city of Beijing again, to see the Rolling Stones perform live, and to perform together with the Rolling Stones. Due to the SARS outbreak, however, the concert was cancelled.

Cui did finally play with the Rolling Stones at the Shanghai Grand Stage on 8 April 2006, singing and playing "Wild Horses". Following the performance, Cui was quoted as saying, "This is the 20th anniversary of Chinese wok 'n' roll... We have an appointment. In the near future, they will be back, and we'll rock again in Beijing."
