Songs selected by fans at the previous tour stops were: “Wild Horses” (played three times), “Ruby Tuesday” (twice), “Angie,” “Dead Flowers,” “Monkey Man,” “Let it Bleed,” “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker),” “She’s a Rainbow” and “Far Away Eyes.” The list of choices varied from city to city. The Stones have conducted public votes before each of the previous 12 shows on this fall's "No Filter" tour. MORE ROLLING STONES: 13 things we think we know about the Austin setlist Make your pick at between these four choices: "Dead Flowers," "Let It Bleed," "Sweet Virginia" and "Far Away Eyes." Jagger's famous slur and Richards' sloppy guitar elegance are the two constants in the band's many life cycles that make every Stones song instantly recognizable.The ballot-box is open: The Rolling Stones are asking fans to choose one of four songs to be added to the setlist for Saturday's concert at Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
Of course, in some ways they weren't the lineup changes that have dogged the Stones account for much of their musical diversity. It's difficult to listen to the trippy Their Satanic Majesties Request, the down-and-out honky-tonk of Exile On Main Street and the clean modernist surfaces of Bridges To Babylon and believe they were recorded by the same band. The band's greatest strength, besides Charlie Watts, has always been their ability to add stylistic touches drawn from their interests in Eastern music, psychedelia, country and even disco to a blues rock chassis. They ventured a heavier, bluesier sound than their British Invasion counterparts, taking their cues from Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.
From the get-go, the band played the raunchy, gritty doppelganger to the Beatles' dandified Merseybeat pop. Few partnerships in rock 'n' roll have been as productive as the collaboration between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and of course having wunderkind Brian Jones along did nothing to hinder the Rolling Stones' popularity.
