What nags me is that apart from Midnight Rambler they're giving him an acoustic spot on Satisfaction, which is silly. Sure, they did Sway, CYHMK, Silver Train and a few oddities with him, but they were very few and far between. My wish is that they would give Taylor one more spot in which they rotate a number of songs where he is relevant, like All Down The Line, Shine A Light, Live With Me, Honky Tonk Women, Stray Cat Blues, Street Fighting Man, Brown Sugar, Tumbling Dice, Sympathy, YCAGWYW, and so on. Why not let him play some leads on one war horse each night? Heck, he could even have a electric guitar part on the YCAGWYW encore every night. Much better than an acoustic on Satisfaction.

I believe that the only reason why MT joins in on Satisfaction is to have him on stage for the final song and bow.

99 pages of people asking for more Taylor on songs but when Wyman expressed himself that he wanted more than 2 songs he was enemy number 1.....

I was hoping for may be two or even three songs with Mick Taylor, but they did only fit him in for one song at the Staples opening show. This is the "WE WANT MORE MICK TAYLOR" on stage thread ... but please do NOT misunderstand, nothing wrong with Ronnie!
We have Mick Taylor on Midnight Rambler, and now also on Satisfaction, but we are greedy, we want another Staples-2 with "Sway" and/or "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" too...
All of the new "We want more Mick Taylor" threads will be merged in here, as there are already many around!
Los Angeles May 20 - Staples-2:
Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!
MT on Sway and Can't You Hear Me Knocking + also Midnight Rambler and Satisfaction! We love it and we are crossing our fingers for the East Coast shows!

I know, but I want him to be a guest on at least one more song. Or at least let him do what he does best -- play the electric guitar.Quote

1: Taylor is not a member anymore, he's a guest.
I was saying have him on ONE more song and made some suggestions. Not an hour (although I would love that).Quote
2: If he played like back in the days he might steal the Limelight for at least an hour, judging the songs you mentioned.. We cannot have that after 40+ years. Never change a winning team.
True.Quote
3: People are not visiting the Stones for extended guitar solos, the early 7-tees are over. If you want to enjoy Taylor with the Stones, I suggest you put on Brussels'73 or L&G. At least that's what I do.

Get over it, he seems to have fun, just like the audience, and that's what matters. But then:

Hmm...as much as I would like to hear more Taylor it's not going to happen. I think it is probably old fans like myself that want to relive those magical moments from 40 years ago from our youth. I am happy for the 2 songs he does play on. I never thought he would be back on stage with the Stones, but he is so I will savor these moments.

Yep, when I saw him back in 2012 with the Stones again, I thought : " This is too good to be true"

defo. what a crying shame he's been so poorly underused. very dissapointed at what might have been after those early press quotes about the 3 gtrs weaving etc, and seeing him play and lift the band up several notches. elated but gutted at the same time
You hit the nail on the head. Also, when you wrote:Quote

Philly 2 last year. After the show, my wife (she's seen the Stones about 15 times since 81) asks "who was that guitarist . . . he stole the show." (referring to CYHMK, which has disappeared).
you are right, we cannot have that.

What do you mean "disappeared"? A quick YouTube check and it's right there. I too am tremendously disappointed as that show was in my top 5 of the 25 I've seen after Brixton and the No Security opener.

I think he means disappeared from the setlist.
Seeing this thread back near the top of the board gave me a good laugh, thanks BV.

yes, they don't play it because it draws attention to how good they are with him.

The fact he was not asked to play on "Loving Cup" says it all though, sadly, as far as their interest in taking this further goes.
