I like the slow tempos. Miserable discussion here though. I remember not so long ago several people here posting that the Stones would never play again, and that Keith couldn't even hold a guitar. Now some of those people seem to be unhappy that the band is playing. For me, this is a very cool iteration of the Rolling Stones. I really could not have hoped for much better. Good for them.
They'll always find something to nag about anyways.
They are playing the songs in the RIGHT tempo, btw. Comparing with the album versions, that is.
That clip of BS from the gig is nothing but raw energy and passion. It takes a lot to make that swing, without "cheating" by speeding it up horrendously.

Bobby Keys is getting worse every time they play Brown Sugar. He has merits in the past, but he has been playing horrible for years now.

Angee, Mick Taylor played on four number...Love in Vain, Midnight Rambler...and the two encores...Brown Sugar and Jumping Jack Flash
I don't see him.
Wow! Mick is sexier than ever! There is no way he is 69 years old! No way!
When I look at this video it is just surreal to think that these guys could be performing at this level at roughly 70 years of age! Is it a dream? The impossible dream has become a reality!

The Mick Taylor solo on Midnigh Rambler paralyzed me, I did not expect it to be that strong. He added something extra which we have been missing since he left, something that is unique to Mick Taylor, his style and his playing. Yet, Ronnie had a great and extended solo which stood out like no others, so I need them both.

Love In Vain:
Mick Taylor had just been introduced on stage. I tried to watch each and every band member at all times. The sound with all the guitars reminded me immediately about the original version from Let It Bleed. I am not a particular Mick Taylor fan, I am not hooked, but if you like versions close to the original, this is it. Goosebumps version.
They have done "Love In Vain" a few times where I have seen them over the years, it is a great song, but if they do this one on the big stage on this tour with Mick taylor then we will be all threated with something special. I think the Rollig Stones do know exactly where they can have Mick Taylor guest playing, so that the fans can enjoy his talent where it fits best into the concert and our emotions. We are nostalgic. We love his style.
I saw Mick Taylor live on stage with the Stones 40 years ago in 1973, European Tour. Now the PA's are better, the sound is sharper, the band members and the fans are 40 years older, but the emotions and the true experience is the same, if not better.
Check out this one, said to be the last live version of "Love in Vain" with Mick Taylor and the Rolling Stones:
Quoted from the clip:
Feb 27th Sydney Australia, Last time the Stones played Love in Vain live, Mick Taylors last time playing it live as a Stone. It was dropped for the upcoming '73 European Tour. Mick Taylor owns this song like he always has. Brilliant guitarist.

I wonder if MT played LIV in standard concert tuning like he did in 72/73 and in 1969 he played in Open G If I remember correctly.

I think one aspect has been overlooked.
Did Mick and Keith make eye contact during the show?

In the end, I get a slight feeling nobody really gives a flying fvck about a club gig anymore...and I have the feeling nobody really seems to be that interested in a new Stones tour....
