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
Not Fade Away
Roll Over Beethoven
Route 66
Sweet Little Sixteen
Time Is On My Side
Twenty Flight Rock
Under The Boardwalk
Walkin' The Dog

(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?

Oddly enough, I'm not as excited as I should be. I think it'll be very good, but as its my two favourite live acts sharing a stage for the first time it could end up being a bit underwhelming instead of earth-shattering.

A bit like that movie 'The Score' when De Niro and Brando finally ended up on film together !

"Marlon Brando took to calling director Frank Oz "Fozzy" and "Miss Piggy" during the movie. Oz is the voice of the Fozzy Bear and Miss Piggy characters in The Muppets. Brando's hazing of Oz over his work with the Muppets got so bad that Robert De Niro was forced to direct Brando instead, with Oz giving him instructions via headset. "

Doubt it. They stopped doing Chuck songs during the BTB tour when they had televised shows - apparently because Chuck asked for too much money for broadcast rights to his songs.

They havent played a single Berry song in concert since that tour.

Okay. That's it. Yup, I remember hearing of it being rehearsed in Paris, but it didn't register after the London gigs.

But that's gotta be the one for Springsteen. Perfect vocal match (well, as much as you can ATTEMPT to match the Big 0), perfect feel for Bruce. Yep. That's gotta be the song. Niiiice call, man.
