Rambler got hotter and hotter, imagine how they'd be after say 10 gigs!?
It works so well that Taylor on Rambler at the very least needs to be a regular part of any future gigs. A regular thing of a Taylor section or something in place of so many guests would be aceness!
There is clearly still a special musical connection between them all that brings something out of them that otherwise isn't there.
Might seem wonky, but I like that Taylor isn't as fluid as before, rough around the edges playing in tandem with his more lively onstage demeanour just works better for me. It works for this 2012 stones anyway.

I agree with you, but it doesn't equal the incredibly high level they had in 1973:

Nope, gotta disagree.
Taylor is out of place in that final bow.
It should be only The Rolling Stones members.
He's not a member anymore in my book.
Honestly, it looked a bit pathetic the way he forced himself between Mick & Keith on last nights show.

I was at the show and in section 11 right next to the stage. Mick Taylor started to turn to walk away and KEITH put his right arm behing Taylor and pulled him in the middle. Mick ran right past Taylor but Keith was kind enough to make him feel welcome and include him. Taylor is clearly playing better after four concerts and will keep getting better. I wish he would play on a few more songs but we will wait and see for the near future.

The way to do a tour with Taylor would be to have a section of songs he plays on: MR, CYHMN, maybe a slow blues like Love In Vain. We saw Taylor get better and more confident each night, and we saw the crowd's reaction and the extra burst of energy he brought to the evening. If they tour, the "Taylor Interlude" would be a highlight of the evening and give us something to look forward to we have not had on recent tours.

I don't think we can hope for more. This was a celebration of 50 years. If they go on tour next year I don't think Taylor is with them.

We saw him in 72 in MSG NYC, a boring statue....adding NOTHING to the show. Along comes RONNIE..their first choice,::if it wasn't for Ronnie McLagen, of the Faces, who got Mick Jagger's call & did not tell Woodie...EH???? P..he is STILL A BORING statue....compared to the great RONNIE ....JUST SAW THEM BOTH!!!

No he does not have a rightful place. He is N O T a Rolling Stone. His choice. Now he wants to cash in? Where was he? Ronnie Wood took over & nicely! Tired of this Mick Taylor stuff. He was with the band so briefly. Ronnie stayed. Get over Mick Taylor. He quit. He lost out. His decision. You can not just cash in after you chose to quit. It is Ronnie's place now. Far well Mick Taylor....again!
Not that I disagree with you, but should he be up there for only contributing to 10 minutes of the show as opposed to the other 4 who were up there for 2 and a half hours. Not that its a big deal or anything, but it does look weird with him up there for playing one song that night. Maybe its a final bow for members of the Rolling Stones, but without Bill it feels odd. Like one of the guests is able to bow with the rest for their contribution. Taylor may be important to their most important period of music, but in the grand scheme of the concert that doesn't mean much.Quote

Glad you liked the concert. Mick Taylor is a Rolling Stone. Yes, he did quit, but
he had problems. He also contributed greatly to much of their greatest recordings and
performances. The Stones would say that themselves, and this is why he is playing with them for these shows....he belongs.
