'During rehearsals, I draw up set lists on big canvases, putting down the songs and the keys they're in. We hang these set lists on the rehearsal room walls so we know where we've been and where we're going.' – Ronnie Wood
'Captures the huge range of songs the Stones will bring to life during one of their tours.' – Financial Times
'An insight into the Stones' development… an epic tome.' – Matt Everitt, BBC Radio 6 Music
'A new twist on the list.' – Mick Jagger
'In the early days, we'd play the song, and I'd run over to write it down on the set list, and Mick would always go, "Ronnie, come back, we've started the song, you can do that later!"' - Ronnie Wood
'I illustrate the band's set lists, sometimes Keith and Mick add little doodles, and they become works of art in their own right.' - Ronnie Wood
Ronnie Wood has selected more than 100 painted set lists to be published, spanning two decades with the Rolling Stones. Presented in chronological order, each year of set lists is introduced with a selection of photographs and Stones memorabilia, from A Bigger Bang in 2005 to the 2018 No Filter tour. The collection follows the group's travels to rehearsal locations that were often kept secret at the time. They reveal the songs rehearsed for historic performances, such as the Rolling Stones' 2014 inaugural concert in Israel, while also documenting the shows as eventually performed.
The colourful hand-lettering recalls Wood's early art school days and his work as a sign writer. The set lists are visually eye-catching and filled with fascinating details. Wood's calligraphy is interspersed with his own illustrations, doodles by fellow band members, and jotted notes that all add up to paint a picture of life on the road with the Rolling Stones.
'It could be somebody coming in at the wrong moment, or forgetting the arrangement and suddenly going to the middle eight, when you can see Keith mouthing, "What the hell is he doing?" It's all part of what keeps the band vibrant.' - Ronnie Wood
'With its behind-the-scenes revelations, concert photos and endearing doodles, The Rolling Stones Set Lists has the feel of a diary.' - CNN Style
