@Amuk3.
Over the last 10 years, making concessions to advancing age, the Stones have adopted a tri-set: Stadium, Arena and Halls. The song sets are different for each, and I suspect they can basically play forever if they want to and throttle down to Hall sets. And I suspect those will gravitate to very ballad and bluesy heavy set lists. Roots. Good bye Satisfaction?
The problem with ZZ is that I just can’t see them pulling off anything rather than full throttle R&R. Hence the problem with this milk toast version of TSB.
Just a thought.
