Your TOP 3 Done 2 Death Warhorses
Jul 16^th, 2011 at 10:05am

Gazza posted something on a different thread that prompted this thread...

What are your top 3 done to death, seen it, heard it, a million times, mailed it in, WARHORSES???
EDIT: For clarification...which are your TOP three to KEEP!!! The ones you love over and over...

Also...which ONE to RETIRE today...even for the 50th, last ever tour...not to be played

Mine are: SFTD, Tumbling Dice and Gimme Shelter...ADTL as an honorable mention, but it will never be done again as great as Atlantic City 2006

RETIRE SMU!!!

oh...Happy Weekend everyone!!

They sure didn't play it much on the last tour. I hate Start Me Up just on GP,not because it's played all the time. I'd say. Brown Sugar Miss You Satisfaction.

They skipped it on the Bridges tour. But more importantly. It isn't neccesarily the songs they skip. I can do without the extra horns arrangement they add to so many songs. I'd love to hear more songs from just the core band. War horses couldn't drag me away

Miss you - perfect replacement would be Love is strong
Honky tonk women - Too much Chuck!
IORR - never ever liked the song much and live doesnt change my mind.

I'd also say "Gimme shelter" as they do it too slow and it cant match the power of 72/73.
"street fighting man" - as its kinda silly coming from a band thats raked in billions.
And please, please, for God's sake, "You got me rocking".

They opened every show with it on that tour. They omitted it on the No Security US leg though, which I assume is what you mean. They did the same with Miss You.

Worth remembering that throughout the 70s, 'Satisfaction' was performed no more than about 10 times in total.

The following three war horses need to be heard live by me as soon as possible:

1. Brown Sugar - loud guitars please.
2. Tumbling Dice - slinky and slow please.
3. Midnight Rambler - menacing and scary please.

They can retire Miss You, even though it's one of my favorites. I prefer they retire a non-guitar driven song than something like Start Me Up.

Despite being a big fan of the studio-take, Start Me Up has just been totally atrocious on recent tours: sloppy, lazy and tuneless. It’s totally uninspiring. The same goes for Honky Tonk Woman, though to a slightly lesser extent. Miss You is only good in studio-form, IMO. I have to skip it entirely on my Bridges To Babylon Tour DVD’s. It’s Only Rock n’ Roll has been mentioned on this thread, but being a sucker for Keith’s Berry-style fills, this is a keeper.

start me up, why? Because it kinda really blows live, and never was great live...
miss you, why? it has gone downhill more and more every tour and only thr 78 version live really rocked it like it should.
iorr, why? b/c it's starfuckers little bitch!!

songs to not be replaced

brown sugar, why? Even when they blow it... it's still great!!!!
HTW, Why... just because, ok!
Tumblin' Dice, why? Really, do you need to ask... go buy some drugs and then go to rehab, you need some help real bad!

The really sick thing is when you look around the arena or stadium when they're playing it and you see everybody else going nuts while I cringe. Nanker
