Tell Me :
Talk
I don't think the Stones need a keyboardplayer, maybee in the studio. But I liked Nicky Hopkins bluesy stile.
Keith ain't what he once was, but it's not easy holding Rambler together with the ryhthm changes. Taylor, in his "happy feet" state, made it more difficult for everyone on Sunday, and I really hope he got to hear what he played on Sunday so that he could correct it for tonight. He wasn't too loud, that can be controlled by the engineers, just too quick to speed up his own tempo, while the band remained locked in. Unfortunately, that usually sounds bad.
I totally agree with you, hope he is better tonight.
They didn't shunnedTaylor. They always stand together by the drum kit during Midnight Rambler. Mick Taylor on the other hand didn't look cool the way he had "happy feat". Now I understand why he always stod still in the old days.
Man I wish I was as skinny as Mick. Gotta love the velvet. She looks like a nice glass of wine. I just love it when she stamps her foot at Mick and prances around with those long legs. She seems to be doing those Irish dances. Look out L'Wren.

I think the problem was he wasn't listening to the band he was playing with Sunday night.
I'd hardly call what he played "Midnight Rambler" at all.
That did occur to me! In the early '70's, they played it pretty fast, and he likely still has that tempo tattooed on his brain through repetition. If that's the case, he'll need to focus to stay off of autopilot.
Yeah, listen to live in Brussels. They were faster and more aggressive.
Please keep these brilliant observations coming.
OK!! So much better, he is listening to the band. His licks sound much sweeter when played in time! Thanks for posting.
I shall do my best, but I really want Blondie Chaplin back on vocals and acoustics.
They actually played it in the right key.
I thought you were being sarcastic the first time :-) OK, maybe it would fatten up the sound a bit, but for an arena show? Don't need him, imo. Backing vocals, sure, but it's probably not worth his time.
Whoa... Flashback to 81... the balloons... Micks flag cape....
front row.... brillant colors... spectacularness.... Fkn Stones!!!
Taylor were a lot better tonight, MR has a lots of dynamics se it's a hard song to play.
And Keith doing a hammer-on thing at the end of his solo? Didn't expect that!
I wish they had him out there for Live With Me and Gimme Shelter.

Excellent version!!! It was an amazing show, for sure!!! Keith and Mick on FIRE!!!
Can't wait Newark!!!!!

I don't know about the tempo number, but if you listen to Brussels '73, they start it much faster than they do now.
Talk about your favorite band.

OK, he's not that "present" usually, but when he is, there is an uproar on this board, that's all I was referring to. His sound (as opposed to his skill) really gets to folks in a bad way. Your post is funny (in a good way) because most here will agree with your opinion that they should get rid of him, but they will disagree that you can't hear him. Do a search on this forum for the words "plink", "plonk" and "plinkety". You'll learn all you need to know. :-)

Mick Taylor's "false notes" and "bad timing" should allow him to mesh perfectly with the false notes and bad timing of Keith and Ronnie.
Yeah, but he don't do it gracefully. Besides Keith probably has the best timing any guitarist around got.
Keith ain't what he once was, but it's not easy holding Rambler together with the ryhthm changes. Taylor, in his "happy feet" state, made it more difficult for everyone on Sunday, and I really hope he got to hear what he played on Sunday so that he could correct it for tonight.

It is a shame that Mick T was shunned by Keith and Ronnie. They left him out there on his owm. They cowered by the drum kit like kids on the corner cupping their cigarettes when one their mother's walked by.

Maybee Mick Taylors problem was that he played MR the way he did in 70´s and didn't listen to Keith and Ronnie. The Stones play it different today.

I swear Keith wore that same suit c. 1968.

Well 71Tele, MR has allways been done in tempo 55, so Taylor should know this from even 40 years ago i think the problem is with MT and his followers is they ate some good or maybe i should say bad LSD because i never ended up like this. Maybe they are stuck in what we call the twilight zone!Quote
