I would suggest that they toss aside the covers on this tour and just replace them with a few rare Stones tunes...( except the covers they have made their own)

No more "tributes"or such...no Otis Redding, Bob Marley, Ray Chales, Smokey, etc...
If they can learn and play Night Time Is The Right Time or Get up, Stand up...they can certainly learn and play Down In The Hole or Hey Negrita...

But i stand by my conviction "We love you" should be in the encore. Heard "Mannish Boy" in Melbourne in 2003. Sexy shit! Darryl's deep bass nearly cracked the roof!

I'd rather hear all Stones, no covers, but the Rollin Stone Muddy Waters song does have a special significance so I guess if there has to be one, I go with that!

I kind of wish The Stones would get back to their Blues roots, if it's their 50th Anniversary they should, 50 years ago they were not doing songs they wrote.
