They're old... for the last 10 years or so they've stuck to the warehouses. Probably hard for Brenda to hit the falsetto parts now too.

They play occasionally. They played it a few times last year.

I think its relegated to the vote songs, where in each city fans get to vote for one of four songs they'll play. And it gets rotated in and out of the four...

I saw them play it last tour, SoFi Stadium night 2 to be exact, but they ain't going to play ten ballads in a show either. It also mostly sounds terrible the way they play it now.

Can't you say that about most of the set? :P

Not since they stopped playing Brown Sugar. Now drop or fix Satisfaction and Sympathy For The Devil.

They sure sounded good when I saw them in 2019.

I remember seeing the Stones in '89 and '94, when they played about 27 and 24 songs respectively. Not sure I'd be up to seeing them 30 years later when they only manage about 18 songs.
