3rd song of the set list. We are tired of being taken for granted damn it!

I always wondered why they never played this song.
Its the most listenable song and most non-uber produced song on the album.
While it still has that Jagger throaty gnarl that DW is drowning in, it rather sounds like an outtake from a previous recording session.
Much better than Harlem Shuffle, IMO.

I am not sure if they started rehearsals just yet in AMS, I would assume yes...but if they are not rehearsing,
I feel that EU will end up with the same setlist as the US with the minor changes here and there as always.
I dont think they are learning/working on 80-90 songs as always seems to be reported.

We are at the 3 week countdown...Do we need a setlist wishlist thread at this point?

So Down in the Hole is out of the question? That's my next song thus far.

I totally love Down In The Hole...I dont think it lends itself to a live show unless they insert it into some other bluesy song ......MR maybe, though some would consider that sacrilege.
If they re-arrange it, it just would not be the same song.

They CAN play it and very easily...DITH can actually be done as the intro to MR...instead of the guitar "tuning" and harmonica tease we get before MR, it can be done by playing DITH (or most of it) with that kick right into MR.

when this tour was announced i expressed great relief because
i thought it meant there would be no escalation of the european war...

but now that a $40 billion escalation is being authorized,
i think it might be wise to consider a postponement

of course you can't say that war is the reason, so just
come up with some other excuse...

you may remember i predicted the 2019 postponement

back then one of the clues the Stones put out a few days beforehand
was this rather forlorn photo from the "rehearsals" (which in reality
had already been aborted)

and so FYI today the Stones put out this equally action-less "rehearsals"
photo with the caption "waiting on a friend"

(in case it wasnt clear, at this point i'm not predicting anything. i'm just sharing a few observations)

Last night I was doing some deep diving on social media, following hash tags and whatnot. Keith, Ronnie and their wives were at a museum in Europe this week. Keith was dressed like Keith usually is these days, complete with that blue fuzzy hat. The woman who worked at the museum put the photo on social media. There was a claim that Melanie was there too.

So to me it seems like rehearsals are going to happen.

no source was cited

1) for whatever reason, iorr dot org has now deleted Dandy's post,
as well as several follow-up comments by others

2) another oddity: iorr dot org's news page did not confirm any
Amsterdam rehearsals until May 12, but again for whatever reason,
this news was back-dated to May 8

also perhaps worth noting:

1) two weeks out and no support acts named

2) for over a month, no mention of the euro tour on official Stones twitter,
nor that of mick or keith

1) 1 down, 13 to go

Echo and the Bunnymen, Liverpool

https://www.nme.com/news/music/echo-and-the-bunnymen-to-support-the-rolling-ston...

2) this announcement also via Stones twitter

FFS What have we done to deserve this? Sad

Thats terrific!!
Echo and the Bunnymen are from Liverpool.
This is like the last time the Stones played in Coventry and had home town band The Specials open...its a great gesture for all parties involved as well as the local spirit.

Echo ATB released a new album a few years ago that was pretty decent. It went to number 11 in the UK

I'd go see them if they played near by...plenty of good songs in their back catalog.

There's a few newer bands I like to see as openers...Vaccines, Struts, a few others...the Euro openers always seem to be better IMO than the US openers.

Mick Keith and Ronnie just wished Taj Mahal a Happy 80th
on twitter from the Ziggo Dome rehearsal room. All three
look great.

Quite a relief (for me at least) to put the "where's mick"
question to bed. hopefully it means europe's storm
clouds will stay way over there in ukraine (before
dissipating completely)

rock n roll is on the road again

I am not starting any rumor, but maybe Mick was just waiting for the all clear for a PCR Covid test...I had read ( maybe on IORR or elsewhere) that the Dancer has tested positive for Covid.

I have no idea if they have been together in recent days/weeks...but if that was the reason for a delay or a "missing Mick", that's perfectly fine with me (and the insurance companies).

rock n roll is on the road again

i mean, i still hope so

if it is so, then this is absolutely the least exciting kick-off i've ever seen

nobody posting about the tour here. hardly anybody at iorr dot org,
even bv is quiet as a mouse

the official twitter crumbs we got earlier this week don't even
add up to half a cookie

i mean, its relatively easy to get a sense of usa ticket sales, but i've
got no idea how to do it for europe. i hope that under the radar theyre
gonna get big rocking hordes of young and old casuals, because
so far it seems that long-timers are mostly MIA
