Are The Rolling Stones Planning Flight 505 For Australia?

Could The Rolling Stones be planning on performing the rarity ‘Flight 505’ on their upcoming Australian tour? It sure looks that way by the hint in the Aussie tour video this week.

43 seconds into the video the rehearsal door swings open and a list of songs appears with the never before played ‘Flight 505’ on a list with the more common ‘Fool To Cry, ‘Get Off My Cloud’ and ‘Gimme Shelter’.

In the lead-up to the start of the 14 on Fire The Stones used the rare ‘Out of Control’ as the soundtrack to the video. That song turned up a few times on the 2014 setlist.

‘Flight 505’ was from the Stones 4th album ‘Aftermath’ in 1966. To our knowledge it has never been performed live by the Rolling Stones. The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was not a single, and did not appear on any Stones compilation.

‘Emotional Rescue’, the 1980 hit for the band was performed for the very first time on the current tour.
