'Dreamy Skies' was also rehearsed last week.

So, they've rehearsed at least 9 of the 12 songs on the new album

The only ones that I don't know that have been worked on are 'Get Close', 'Driving Me Too Hard' and 'Rolling Stone Blues'

Maybe 'Driving me too hard' is a bit too similar to 'Tumbling Dice' ?

I mean it was obvious they wouldn't do RSB, unfortunately...it's sad about the other two tho, Get Close is so amazing, would be brilliant to hear it live, I wonder why thet didn't rehearse it, I mean it's not tougher or worse than other songs on the album (better even tbh)...Driving Me To Hard is one of my top 3 fave songs on HD but I don't think they won't do it cause it's too similar to Tumbling Dice, only the intro a bit, but overall it gives off an entirely different atmosphere and emotion than Tumbling Dice, I'd rather put it into a corner with songs like Beast of Burden or Almost Hear You Sigh...I rather think they won't do it cause Mick finds it too boring live...not a song where he can clap and wave and hop but not slow enough to fit in the "acoustic" section with stuff like Dreamy Skies, Let it Bleed, Far Away Eyes and so on...

I'm not saying they havent rehearsed those songs Just saying that I havent seen them mentioned.

I havent seen any lists of rehearsed songs prior to this week.

Interesting that 'Satisfaction' isn't on the above lists.

'Start Me Up' and 'Get Off Of My Cloud' opening the sessions on two out of three days this week suggests to me that maybe they're leaning towards that as the opening two songs

However, the first show is ten days away. Probably about 5-6 rehearsal days still to come. They'll presumably move things to Houston early next week and what you get after that will be akin to dress rehearsals.

There you got Satisfaction! Cheesy

tho tbh I wouldn't even be surprised if they never really rehearsed it, seeing how Keith can basically play it in his sleep Tongue

People who have been at the rehearsals said they didn't play RSB and DMTH but idk about Get Close, nobody mentioned it so far, so maybe they rehearsed it after all some day

But it's definitely so cool that they're rehearsing stuff like She's so cold or Monkey Man, would be great to hear those live!

Tbh I'd take Sad Sad Sad over songs like Let's Spend the Night Together, Like A Rolling Stone or YCAGWYW any day seeing how it's one of my fave workout songs and I haven't heard it live yet in contrast to the others that I've heard live multiple times and are among the more boring ones for me...

If I could get to hear any song of Steel Wheels, I'd prefer Mixed Emotions or Almost Hear You Sigh tho

Worried About You <3 I'd sooo love to hear that one!
I remember in 2021 they kept adding it to the list of vote songs like 5 times in a row...if you wanna play it, just fucking play it ffs and don't put it on a list with Angie, it's not fair foe true fans...imo they should either drop the vote songs completely like they did in 2022 after Mick had Covid, or they should ONLY put up rarities for vote and not one rarity and then Angie and Wild Horses...makes no sense like that

1) Jagger does not pander to "true fans"
2) The song vote is not really a true election...veto powers are all over the place
3) If a song on the list was never rehearsed, it will never "win".
4) This is not a democracy, its an autocracy
5) Emotional Rescue deserves a comeback...if one falsetto is to make it to the set list...I would take WAY as a second place winner.
TBH, other than the quick hit on Mess It up, I am not sure how Mick's falsetto is these days...

I don't think they'd put songs on the vote list that they haven't rehearsed, like what's the point of that Oo ...also yeah that's why I said, either cut out the song vote completely, or let people vote for songs that aren't getting played all the time as rotation songs anyway like Wild Horses...

I think they did ER in 2019 or 2021, didn't they? Or did I dream that lol...but with the way Mick's voice is sounding on HD, I don't think he'd have trouble with it...he also does falsetto in that "oh yeah" back and forth with Gaga on SSOH

Its a marketing trick. They add deep cuts to the list to get people's hopes up in the full knowledge that if they're up against something like 'Angie' or 'Beast of Burden' there's not a chance in hell they're going to win. No way will they play a song they've barely rehearsed or which has been played earlier on the tour and went down as well as a fart in a spacesuit.

But who would the marketing be targeted to? True fans who care about these rare cuts already got their tickets and shows planned out and wouldn't just spontaeously go to a show based on a song vote...and all those random radio fans wouldn't spontaneously go to a show based on the song vote, loads of them probably don't even know it exists

Also thanks, that's neat, I had no clue those sites exist Shocked

maybe I got it mixed up, they didn't play ER in 2019 or 2021 but they played Monkey Man 3 times in 2019 and once in 2021...

So it truly seems to have been 2013 (Hyde Park) when they last played ER...they last played Worried About You in 2014, I'm still annoyed that I didn't come to Düsseldorf back then when a friend asked me to, but I was going to uni and didn't have enough money Undecided

As PA says above, marketing is just to create a buzz. Its clickbait related. Its not aimed at the sort of people who go to shows wanting to hear stuff like 'Parachute Woman' or 'Winter'. This is a band whose media team posted stuff on facebook a few years ago asking people 'what songs do you want us to play on the upcoming tour' (and then proceeded to play the regular stuff anyway). Saying that, many of the replies were from gimps who were posting requests like 'Start Me Up' and 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' Grin

They first had a fan vote back in 1997. It was rigged even back then as well.

And let us not forget the ever-so-frequent, "Play Argentina"...so convinced there's a bot about making these posts, smh

Gazza, do you recall a few years back when some intern at RS.COM / UMG or whatever posted what was meant to be the actual result numbers for one vote in particular???
Even those numbers looked off, if I recall...poor kid, prolly never worked there (UMG?) again

Lol true I remember that post about "which songs do you want us to play" it might have been in 2022 or maybe 2021 but it honestly was so frustrating to read the replies Roll Eyes

I don't suspect that the "come to Argentina" posts are bots, y'all know how the Argentinian fans are Grin

had a bunch of them directly behind us at Hyde Park, felt like we were in a football stadium during the world cup final, it was quite fun Cheesy

worlds better than when people in Munich in 2017 got annoyed when we dared to stand up during a rock concert Lips Sealed
