What should they do for the opening song??

Some talk about something from the 1st record...

what about Street Fighting Man? ... "sleepy london town..."

Or Jack Flash with the crossfire hurricane line?

Or surprise everyone and bust the door open with Doom and Gloom? Or One More Shot?

I've always thought Paint It Black might work as a dramatic opener... Or Sympathy... "please to meet you!"

thoughts...

Why the talk of tarping? This is a win-win for fans and the band, no?

If memory serves, they tried opening with PIB a couple times on the last tour. Nothing will top the from-left-field choice of Midnight Rambler for the club show in Australia.

Win-Win????? For WHO???? Win for the Bands bottom line...Loss for fans who couldn't get a ticket for various reasons...Loss for scalpers who can't dump the tickets (but who cares),
Loss for the Band's ego not to play to a physically full house

The show IS SOLD OUT...with many THOUSANDS of tickets going to the scalpers and ticket agencies in the UK/US/Europe...
THOUSANDS of tickets not sold by them means many THOUSANDS of empty seats...
You cannot tarp a sold out show...not even at the last minute due to logistics.
