MailOnline can reveal that the group still like to mix things up, only deciding on their final set list less than an hour before they head out on stage.
With a back catalogue of over 400 songs, the group keep their encore of Gimme Shelter and Satisfaction each night the same, but will regularly switch out other hits throughout the gig.
Their backing singers even love to wade in and suggest their favourites for each night.
Ronnie then hand paints the final set list onto a canvas backstage, which is turned into a print and sold to fans via the band's art store.
'Keith used to smoke and is quite messy and not everybody wants to be around that, so they have their own individual rooms. It really isn't a hateful thing, they just have different styles,' Heather (dressingroom coordinator) explains.
Everyone knows Keith, he likes pirates and baggy clothes. His room looks like him. It's a little darker and it's got cool statues of skeletons. It's awesome, my favourite room, I love it. There's lots of candles, with lots of great ambience.'
Family man Ronnie indulges his other passions - art and his twin daughters Alice and Gracie, five.
'His room is very artistic really. He's got a lot of things in there that inspire him. I hang drapes over the pipe that just give the room some texture and some colour.
'Mick likes surfaces. There's not a lot of stuff. It's very clean. I do set up a little warm-up area. I've never seen what goes on, I know there's music. He probably just loosens up his limbs.'

In the first clip you can see moments of a normal day of the band, before the concert.
Charlie before the hair plugs and period when Charlie decided to become a heroin addict and when he appears to be in worse shape than Keith is not a good sign.
Nice to see Keith hanging out with his Dad. Jo Wood seems to be the most fun of the bunch.
Keith—who appears to have been awake for a full five days at this point—effortlessly signs autographs, behaves as a true gentleman, and then TAKES THE WHEEL OF HIS OWN RIDE, before seamlessly driving away with remarkable acuity. Ordinary mortals need not apply, nor try this at home!
Probably someone has already seen this video, which appears on the Glimmer Stone YouTube channel.
Although the video has watermarks, it is interesting to watch the first 27 minutes, all taken in the dressing rooms.
Iggy Pop opened this show and was booed off the stage. Santana played a wonderful set. The Stones were good altough sloppy playing by Keith and Ron Wood.
