in my opinion the stones are KIDNAPPED by Chuck Leavell.
There´s no need for the guitar players to bring it or ply chordes anymore. Chuck is good enough to fill the holes. Chuck´s got the big book with the keyes and how fast to play the songs. HE makes the set lists with Jagger...

starstar74Yes, the Webster show is a great example of vintage Mick signature style singing. Too bad he saved it for a solo show instead of a Stones show.Quote

I'm not referring to the '75-'78 tours as examples. I'm talking about how he approaches certain songs. THSMLI from Licks and Rock me baby from the same tour is an example of Mick with LOTS of power in his voice. Same with OOC durung B2B. Balls out power growl singing. Now he's speaking the words with little power in the actually voice. In fact his voice sounds very frail and nasally. SWH and most songs from shine a light cd is laughable. However, PIB from the same cd is Mick putting effort into his vocals
I know exactly what you're talking about starstar74.
I've not seen any evidence of Mick really delievering that awesome, cool voice of his for a whole show since I saw the Webster Hall bootleg video from 1993.
The same voice that has made the band who they are. The Jagger voice.
Hell, the last tour where he used it regularily was 1978, judging by boot's I've heard (I didn't see that tour as a) it was U.S. only and b) I was only 4 years old).

Mick's vocals were not great in 1975-76 either, but Keith was rocking. Until he returns to playing with fire and passion they will be a show band, not a true rock band. I really think Keith is the key.

The Stones had a lot of additional musicans on stage in 1976 already ,to fill up the absence of a decent lead guitarist.

I don't get this argument.
The line-up included Bobby Keys and Jim Price already in 1970 on the European Tour. Adding Stu and/or Nicky, they must have had at least as many additional musicians with them on stage in 70-73 as in 76.
