Mick Taylor. No contest.
Jeff Beck, despite his technical prowess, seemed in the wrong place and just didn't fit. Taylor on the other end, really made something special happen.

Really glad to hear this. So happy it worked out for MT and the fans who missed him.

Must have been MJB

Jeff doesn't need technical prowess to play almost as beautiful as Taylor, listen to Jeff's ballads, but then he is no genuine Stone. To me Beck convincingly proved that there can happen something special when you change the musical strategy, be it for only one song. I think you agree on that.
Nothing beats Taylor with the Stones in this context of course. Let's hope for some footage, and I do wish Mick plays along with the Stones on many more songs during the rest of their upcoming concerts.

From those who went to the show ... how did Mick Taylor's playing mesh with Ronnie and Keith in the mix? In the worst case, I can hear a bunch of noodling lost in a pile of ancient weaving... But I expect Woody and Keef gave the ol' Little Mick the room he deserved.

Boring Wyman... boring Wyman... boring Wyman... boring Wyman....

Are you serious? Although MT was brilliant on Midnight Rambler, seeing Bill on stage again was the high point for me.

Not a lot of serious in this thread, but of course that doesnt stop bossy douchebags from showing up and demanding to get involved in a conversation they are not part of... but that is typical of some here.

The big question for me is how many songs will Taylor and Wyman guest on, and will they appear together? I guess we'll know soon enough!

Only 2-3 hours left until your bubble is popped and you will see The Stones are the same band with or without Lumpy Taylor and Boring Wyman.

You just don't quit, do you? For someone who often chastises others for their perceived negativity, your hostility to what were two actual members of the band is quite puzzling. Maybe now I should be the one calling you "grumpy" and accusing you of "hating" the Rolling Stones, as you often have done to me.

But no matter. Not letting you spoil my fun. Only wish I could be there.

If you think these two appearing on stage for 2-3 songs will magically turn back the clock to 1972.... well... you are about to have your bubble popped.... and dont forget you have a pile, a huge stack of negative credits, for all the Ronnie bashing you have done, and do.... and you can feel free to call me anything you want.

And who said I thought that it would be like 1972? You are projecting your assumptions onto me again. Why can't you just enjoy the reunion (however brief) like the rest of us, for what it is, rather than trying to use it to make some kind of petty internet fansite point?

cuz....
Ronnie is no quitter... and all you do is bash him... and he has been with them faaaaaaaarrr longer than your hero Lumpy Taylor.... who quit.... as did Boring Wyman... who also quit.... they are quitters... and yet you fawn over them like fallen heros.... they quit. If the rest of the band were like your heros... there would be nothing but football going on today... they all would have quit.

Sigh...You send like a 7-year old. Please fight with another 7-year old, I'm too busy enjoying the anticipation of the show.

NO!! Youre a 7 year old!



Come on... if we cant be there... a good bar board brawl is almost as good.

Time to drop this for good, Max. You made your point. Enough already.

Sorry blissy busybody, but you are going to have to show up about 12 hours sooner if you wanted to get in on this board brawl.... Im not really in the mood right now... but maybe later... Il let you know.... umkay?

It was beautiful. As for 'room he deserved', Mick T was stage front, playing as a foil off Jagger and moving around like I've never seen him before.

They not only gave him the room he deserved, they gave him enough to deliver what was actually a show-stealing performance. He absolutely owned the song.

I really enjoyed all of the guest appearances. Not a single one of them dragged and all of them added something positive. The Beck/Keef/Woody guitar onslaught on Goin Down was fantastic.

Definitely Mick Taylor.

My only criticism of his performance would be that it was too short - would have been great to hear him play on more songs.

I'm going to think of a killer line here... soon anyway... when the alcoholic fog lifts.... (or during).. just wait....

Mick Taylor off course. Sorry for Ronnie...

Agree 100 percent! And they, especially Ronnie, appeared to enjoy giving MT room to shine.
