I can't get my head around this... It's his late-career masterpiece that he seems to be deliberately ignoring.
Your ideas why? I know it's his call, and I respect his choice. But it's frustrating because it's not logical, and I'd just love to hear his explanation...
Or should I pack up and just leave it in the compartment where I keep all other irrational decisions made by men I won't ever be able to understand?
I share your disappointment. The only reason I can think of is that he said when it was released that he couldn't or wouldn't tour behind it and that's why he did the film. However, I think that's a crap reason for not including any songs.
Stones is the perfect song to do with Patti when she is there, Sleepy Joe is surely a fun song which could be included and an acoustic Moonlight Motel would be the highlight of any show I attend. That's my minimum requirement!!
