I mean, why not?

yes! At LEAST a mini-set with 3 songs!

He'd get winded...!

Umm.... I was under the assumption that MT was going to have a lot of time on this part of the tour.

YES - HAVE THE THREE GUITAR ATTACK PLEASE!

good strategy. ask for it all and maybe you get 3 that way. we need more psychology-oriented folks here to really kick this tour into shape.

The titles of the other threads said please at the end.

This title is a declarative sentence.

They should have him play the whole show or at least a lot more than what they're doing so far. I watched a video of him on last night's "Satisfaction" and he mostly just played chords and let Ronnie take part of the solo. He showed he's a team player and is not out to dominate Ron or Keith. They don't have Blondie with them, they could use another guitarist.

there's nothing polite about rock'n'roll. in fact, i'd suggest an "or else" at the end over a "please."

What's all this "we", BlackHat? I don't.

For the moment, I'd like to see him play on two or three songs - the ones he's famous for, the ones we know they rehearsed - Sway, CYHMK, Love In Vain... Alternate them around the shows if there isn't room for them all in the same set. I don't want him thrown onto every last song in the (mistaken) belief that just putting him there and letting him do his thing unrehearsed on any number from any era will instantly produce marvellous results. I think at present it's more likely to produce a trainwreck. If the famous 3-guitar attack ever happens, it isn't going to happen overnight.

Everyone get onto the offical Facebook page and politely request it.

These MT threads are so pathetic. Get it, he is not a bandmember, he is a guest.

Keep up like this, and Taylor will be nagged out of the show completely...

Really! Would it kill 'em? I'm just sayin.

For now.

i'm in for that

problem is he'd show up ronnie and keith too much, not purposely but just because he's a better player than they are

which is of course why it won't happen

Even Emotional Rescue?

You can lead, follow, or get out of the way. We want the Stones with Taylor.

I don't. And I don't want a fifth wheel under my car either. But I would like him to perform on songs where he could make a difference. On songs like CYHMK, MM and GE for example.

I like the mini set-list idea, but thumbs down on the whole show.

I think it's good they cut the number of musicians on stage and they make Ronnie and Keith play without a safety net. Taylor should be there to challenge them and contribute to the songs he can make a difference on. We don't need him inserting solos in "Emotional Rescure" or allowing Keith to get lazy and start smoking and posing through the entire show.

It would be some spectacle, would it not ? I'd give my right arm to see that.

As for all this speculation on why Taylor left all those years ago, and who thinks what about whom these days, and who is pissed off about what and so on ...... they've all spoken about it here and there over the years and that's about as much as any of them are ever likely to say on the subject I suspect. Which leaves us to further speculate to our hearts content, but really ..... why bother ? Why not just be grateful that at long last Mick Taylor is actually back playing with the band, and keep pressing (through that "more by Mick Taylor" thread that BV started on here) for an increased contribution from him in what remains of this particular clutch of shows ?

Personally, I think that they are currently really enjoying him being back playing with them, he is more than likely enjoying it himself, animosities have probably been laid to rest to a large degree, and that's as much as we dare ask for and hope for. Lets enjoy it while we have it.

The only other thing they COULD unquestionably do that I for one would be enormously appreciative of would be to record and film these shows and put together a resultant DVD in which Taylor's contributions get respectable exposure

PLEASE Stones ........ PLEASE !!

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

No I don't.

I want him for a 4-5 songs bluesy-set. (like: Love in Vain, Midnight Rambler, Stop Breaking Down, Whatch The River Flow, Hide Your Love etc.)

Given the brilliance that Mick Taylor brings to Midnight Rambler & the spark that most of the guests have added on their song - it would certainly be nice to see this additional energy for the whole show with MT on stage from start to finish.

Amongst Stones fans he's the most popular guest they've ever had, so it's not exactly pathetic to say we want more of him, but I see where you're coming from...it's a distraction to keep whining instead of enjoying the tour.

Might as well be saying..... We Want Dave Grohl For The Whole Show

Mini set, YES.....Whole show, NO. It also occurs to me that some people on here think he took every solo from 69'-75', he did not. The distinctive styles are pretty obvious. I don't want him soloing on things that he didnt on the record.....Dice is an obvious example.

Taylor was an inspired improviser in the early 7-tees, every note hit the target. Its clear Taylor cannot do that anymore. It's more safe to let Keith and Ron play the parts that are waterproof, safe and predictable. This tour is about reciting the past as good as possible, with a little help from their friends.
