.... OK

Great clip... great performance from the other night...





Now think about this too:
Can you imagine how mind-blowing it would be if Mick Taylor were to join in? (Only problem is that the arena might explode.)

What can the Stones and MJ be thinking? It seems like this is such a clear opportunity to define themselves in music and performance history!

Instead of just putting on a "show" for people with lots of money to see them "perform".

Perform what? "You Got Me Rockin' "? You gotta be kidding me.
Perform for whom? Fans? You know the answer to that question.

Mick Taylor is an attraction, a great gimmik to sell tickets...

But not too in the limelight !!!! Too much applause during Sway and especially CYHMK !

Great SFM but there's really no lead guitar... Ronnie needs to jam...

Exactly.

Or... Mick Taylor could re-join the stage. Let Keith and Ron keep the groove going with Charlie et al... Then the 2 Micks and the crowd can go nuts.

What about this SFM? Probably the best one ever. The crowd will go crazy if they play it like this.

As for playing (especially Taylor) That Brussels 73 version is unreal but as for Jagger's voice it could be even better, now when Jagger's voice is in very good condition they could even top that.

Taylor is playing in this song a little bit of "progressive rock" style, maybe The Rolling Stones could have been also a very good progressive rock band if Taylor would have been the musical director of the band.

The tempo is quite fast in that Brussels version, they haven't really played the song that fast since the comeback in 89?

This is not rock'n roll anymore, this is ART.

Well, it's a little unfair to clobber the present day band (with or without Taylor) with two of its greatest performances. The well known Wembley SFM is the show closer and it is supposed to be over-the-top, intense, mind blowing. a bit daffy... and it is. And its all wrapped up in about 5 minutes. The Philly GS performance is arguably the best of that era and my fav.

But while we are on the subject of SFM, here's another one (It ain't over until MT hits those last notes):

(That high note Taylor is holding at the beginning is left over from the end of JJF. He links the two songs with that sustained note. Just another Taylor touch.)

This one tonight please

I've watched different videos on U TUBE of Mick Taylor's performance on Can't You Hear Me Knocking from the west coast. He just brings added color and life to that tune on the concert stage that you can clearly see from videos how the Stones and the audience are into it and demonstrate their appreciation so favorably...Come on Rolling Stones, time is wasting...

i love this frenzied version of SFM but they'll never sound or play that way again.

the tempo is almost half of that, when they play it now. still i'd love to hear Taylor play on it. it would bring it to life..

The quality of the SOUND of the band is sensational when Mick Taylor has been on the stage this tour for the 3 tracks I have heard him play(Midnight Rambler, Sway, Cant you hear me knocking, and satisfaction). I always remember Bill Wymans comment in his biography that the band never sounded better than they did with MT. Has anyone heard or has a copy of the Love in Vain performance by MT on the first date of this tour in the LA club? Would love to hear it as well.
Mick Taylor is great. Glad fans are getting to see him and the impact he has -he makes the Stones relevant again.
Unfortuately, the first time I saw them in 75 he had already left.

We still want Mick Taylor on more songs, please!

Why not a CYHMK ? Done

On the other hand we are very lucky that the Stones ever found someone like Mick Taylor to play with them for several years and record with them on many fantastic records and play many amazing concerts and that we have high quality recordings from some of those concerts, there is so much to be grateful for...

Of course I'd like to him to play as much as possible on the current tour too and also even to record with them in the future.

Which is sad really, is that for a such virtuous player his career never really took off after he left the Stones, it's so odd.

I think they should slot Love In. Vain in after Keith's set and before Rambler.

Agreed. Love in Vain with Mick Taylor playing lead could be really something special.

Why would we want more Taylor? I think this is just awful:





Why the hell doesn't he have a 5 minute listen to the album version? Why is he just noodling his way through some boring jazz fusion finger practising runs?

he is getting old, like the rest of them, and us. i agree it was very disappointing. but it's still great to see them getting together and giving it one last go.

I agree that this is quite different from the album version, but still I liked it very much, I wasn't there myself but the applause from the audience was really loud based on the video clip so I think that the audience liked it as well.

Of course it's different from the album version! Taylor never plays his solos like on the studio versions (Dead Flowers for example). He's a musician after all. Not limited to one musical formula, but combining the best. And the result here is beautiful. Not only very nice licks during the first part, but a wonderful and very well structured solo at the end.
