Very good selection of guests, two of them already announced by Bitch... my bitch  

I saw Lady Gaga with my daughter and her friends when she closed her last tour, I went to see her with a prejudice and attended with  the idea of having a bad show and to be at the bar drinking, instead I was watching the show, the whole show in awe, even that her music is not my music she is a great musician with a very good handling of the stage and the audience, she plays piano, guitar and sings very good

Now the question is which songs, my guess

Lady Gaga on Gimme Shelter (but I do prefer as Sweet Virginia says to leave this to Lisa and having Lady Gaga singing HTW)
Bruce on Wild Horses
The Black Keys on Goin’ Down

I'm absolutely thrilled that the Boss is making his first appearance on one of their tours. I'd like any song that he sings with them. He probably knows how to play a lot of the Stones catalog better than they do. Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren would be great but it would be too crowded.

The Black Keys are okay. I'm not in love with them like many Stones fans because I don't see anything too ground breaking there but I'll still enjoy seeing how they interpret a Stones song.

Lady Gaga is unbearable for me. I just thought how it was almost a good thing they didn't tour after Dirty Work because we would have had to endure appearances by Madonna and Michael Jackson and God knows what other pile of crap.

What other Stones songs has Bruce covered? I know he did Satisfaction a year or two back.

He's done Street Fighting Man before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv78AFyYVWg

Would of been nice to see Tom Petty instead of GaGa...Tom does a mean Last Time.

I agree. I mostly troll this one...dunno why.

Assuming they keep the setlist roughly the same as the first three shows, I guess we can assume Gaga would be on "Gimme Shelter", and probably the Black Keyes on "Going Down". Springsteen is kind of the wild card here. He could do practically anything and make it really work.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Gaga AND Bruce on "Gimme Shelter" (Bruce could really chew up that lyric and make it soar) - Gaga's a huge fan of his, they're both Jersey natives; it would be really strange and different. Older traditionalist with younger outrageous pop diva - it'd piss a lot of people off (good) but it could be very exciting. Plus the whole Sandy thing...

Hadn't thought of that. Good call.

So what does Springsteen do? "Gimme Shelter"? That could be tough as hell, the way he'd sing it. Might even get a lead in. And what if Miami Steve were with him? Ya know how excitable those two get...

They could do Sweet Virginia or Dead Flowers. Bruce has played them both in bars or at guest appearances down the years.

Or Street Fighting Man, which hes played in the past.

Or just as easily nothing that he's covered before. Its not as if these songs should be hard to pull off.


Bruce has covered the following Stones songs in concert down the years

Beast of Burden
Dead Flowers
Honky Tonk Women
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Play With Fire
Ride On Baby
Street Fighting Man
Sweet Virginia
Tell Me
The Last Time
You Cant Always Get What You Want
(granted, some of these were WAY back before he even had  a record deal!)

and has performed the following songs which have also been covered by the Stones :

Aint Too Proud To Beg
Around and Around
Back In The USA
Bright Lights Big City
Bye Bye Johnny
Carol
Confessin' The Blues
Cry To Me
Drift Away
Get Up Stand Up
Good Times Bad Times
Hi Heel Sneakers
Hound Dog
I Cant Turn You Loose
If You Need Me
Its All Over Now
Like A Rolling Stone
Little Queenie
Mercy Mercy
Mona
Money
My Girl

(he's also done 'Run Rudolph Run' amongst others that the Stones solo members have played)

I'm excited to see Bruce share the stage with the Stones, but I'm resigning myself to a dull and predictable Last Time or IORR. Remember the days when they did special one-offs with guests -- "Salt of the Earth," Boogie Chillen," "Stop Breaking Down," "Corrina, Corrina" -- instead of just assimilating them into the same old set list?
