You can Always Get What you Want wasn’t on his printed out setlist for the show, so that was nice. He played it in honor of the Rolling Stones concert in Miami Tonight.

Besdies that, he mentioned that he will be flying to New Orleans tommorow to re-open the Margaritaville New Orleans and off to play the Fillmore on Thursday
