My money's on the Stones opening with GS and Macca closing with Let it Be, they are after all the biggest names ever in Rock/Pop, bar none, well there's Elvis and Jacko somewhere but they checked out early. Like Keith said in 1986, "Bruce is a good guy but he's holding the fort you know"...he had to hold a bit longer than Keith expected, but looking back 26 years later Keith did have a point to some extent.

I'd love to see a stripped down acousticy set for this but improbable

You will get a Warhorse medley & it will trample the competition.
This is Rocks Off approved.

Well they did do Salt of the Earth at the 9/11 benefit. So their is precedence for them to be creative. Shocked

I see...

I'd imagine the timings and schedules were worked out well in advance - the Stones, after all, were only a last minute addition.

I hope the Stones get as long as the other main acts do.

Splitting hairs about who 'deserves' to be top billing sort of misses the point of the entire exercise. I'd like to think all of the performers are above that.

Reply #55 - Dec 9^th, 2012 at 8:13am I read elsewhere that some of the performers will be playing for 45 minutes. I'd be surprised if the Stones play that long as they have a show of their own the following night.

I predict a Superbowlesque 4 song set...SMU> MY>D&G>IORR (Maybe BS...any audience sing-a-long anthem type)

Reply #59 - Dec 10^th, 2012 at 1:05pm I think "Doom and Gloom" would be plenty appropriate for this gig. And assuming they only get, say, four songs, "Gimme Shelter", "Jumpin Jack Flash", and something with a NYC, fuck-you kinda vibe, like "Shattered". Probably "Miss You" though.

It's funny, 'cause Keith does sound very Dylan-y on his own "Hurricane".
He should do it (assuming he can remember all the 12 words or whatever of the lyric); right before "Gimme Shelter" or whatever; it's a fairly moving little ditty.

Come to think of it...what about..."I was born...in a cross fire HURRICANE"...I know it's about WWII...but people will only hear HURRICANE

Reply #69 - Dec 11^th, 2012 at 7:39pm Ringo's visa is good for only the first few months of the year, which is why his albums get released early in the year in the US. He can promote and tour at that time only. I would love to see the red tape vanish and him come out though for a tune or two.

Mick did exactly that at Live Aid and, as far as I recall, had plans to do something similar at the Concert for New York ("Goddess in the doorway" had just come out or was about to) until Keith gatecrashed the gig at about a days notice - so they changed their plans and did 'Salt of the Earth' instead.
