Until now theyve played 5 already. Arrogant Boy, Diablo and Guinnesis have been played at every show. At the last European shows they playf Only Horse In Town after Dons keyboard solo. And they did scribblin gibrish from the Montreux gig and the first 4? U.S
They were at their best then and had the best setlists then, I feel. 1996-2002 was peak Purple and an absolutely magical time for the band and the fans - I don’t think some fans realize how good they had it back then.
Pretty much - and the 10-15 minute long Speed King was my personal highlight of many shows.
I would push the time-period a little later. Both Bananas and Rapture had 6 or 7 songs played live, and quite a few older tracks played in 96-02 did come back in for a tour
I could have done without that. But it seems to be better than Hackney Diamonds that may be the worst Stones album to date for me. I can’t help it - I need a little mire room between the many sounds and a bit of dynamics, not just everything louder than everything else at the same time.
BTW: the Black & Blue remix was an interesting listen to these ears.
It’s an underrated album too! I hated it when it came out (Black & Blue), today I think it 's one of their strongest (a relative term with Stones albums I know!). Yeah, the remix was revelatory.
