The five or so shows done towards the end of 2012, to mark their 50th anniversary as a performing unit (pre-Charlie Watts) included some great rarities:
I Wanna Be Your Man - their second UK single and first quasi-hit, not performed since their 1963 tour with Little Richard and the Everly Bros. They opened with it at the UK shows and the first US show then dropped it...too obscure and didn't entirely work, but I loved it (it's all over YouTube).
Lady Jane - not performed since the Brian Jones days (latest 1967 Europe), although they did hum a few bars of it at one USA 1975 show (Baton Rouge I think).
Around and Around - last played at Knebworth (UK) in 1976 and El Mocambo (Toronto) in 1977.
Who Do You Love? - last played, as far as I know, at 1994 Miami simulcast with the author himself (Bo Diddley) on stage.
Goin' Down - while both Jagger and Richards have played this tune on their own here and there in recent decades, this is the first time they've played it as the Stones and/or on stage. Not to be confused with the 'Let It Bleed' era outtake that was included on the disjointed ABKCO package 'Metamorphosis' (totally different song).
