Tell Me :
Talk
Sure. "Rambler" the first night in London was shaky at times, too. By the second night, Taylor settled in nicely and it's been off to the races ever since.
Whoa...don't get carried away...That was a great sight last night and thankfully worked out pretty well for them...but the tour?
I play the guitar for my kids, that´s all, but I agree 1000%! IMO you can´t judge this from a pure musicial point of view, hey, this is MT and the Stones and they haven´t played together for about 1000 years! Concerning this, this is just GREAT and makes me come ....
Nice observations. I certainly hope noone considers sharing thoughts like this "complaining". If they do they need to get their head examined. It's this kind of analysis that makes a comment thread interesting. More, please.
Cautious optimism, the tour is young....
Yikes indeed!
I'm not nuts.
No, he doesn't shine musical wise.. He's a shade of his former self. I'm too much of a Taylor fan, I'm too familiar with his playing to deny it. But to see him shining and having fun as a guitarist on stage, that's great, but something completely different.
Oh dear, Wood is a Taylorite...that's going to ruffle some feathers isn't it?
Heart warming. Now if we can just get Mick and Keith to snuggle up to one another like this. All would be right in the world, wouldn't it? At least all would be right in Stones world.
tell it like it is...Analyzing is good, it means there's something worth analyzing.
That's right. But IORR is more than just a message board. It's also a cheer board, and a whine board. But most importantly it's direct link to the Rolling Stones.
I've been reading this thread and I really can't see anything that I'd call complaining. At all. It's a Straw Man. Getting (or gepping) everyone's different take on this is the interesting part and noone should feel they need to censor themselves if they are sharing their honest feelings and observations.
Respectfully disagree...both Mick's were excellent on this one.
Well, both my ears and my eyes enjoyed it. Being critical is a good thing, but to me the emotion is quintessential. And well, here's the emotion to see and to hear as well. I leave the always very interesting analysing to others this time because I'm not objective enough, carried away by emotions. And I love it.
Who had ever thought to see Taylor play Sway and Knocking with the Stones, two great songs he even didn't play with them on stage during his tenure in the band! Who would have thought he would ever play with them again anyway (and be audible too!). He did, on Plundered, then on Rambler and now also on Sway and Knocking. Now it's emotion time for me. I even love it to hear the crowd respond. Fantastic. The Stones have always been about emotion to me. And the emotion is there again. And how.
THANK YOU! Yes many do consider it complaing, but they evidently miss how many time in posts this morning that I have stated I am happy and think they're going in the right direction. One cannot deny that this show is a complete departure from the special guest, 2 MT song, greatest hits/warhouse product on previous shows. If I had attended one of the previous shows I would be pissed and jealous. Sometimes catching them early in a tour gives you a great "experiment "
As long as the voices don't tell you to start fires I suppose it's harmless.

So was Mick T the "special guest" just for this show and does it mean that for the next few shows he will be relegated to Rambler and Satisfaction again. I hope not but i have a sneaking feeling that this may have been a one-off and they will revert back to the "what the @#$%& have they got to do with the Stones" guests.
Interesting and well balanced review from Dean Goodman on this site where he picks up on the body language between Mick & Keith. I hope they are not in the middle of one of their famous spats. Would be a shame if petty egos eroded what is turning out to be one of the bands strongest tours since 1999.

Touching but very disappointing. No offense intended, but this is really a bridge too far to me. I'm the biggest Taylor era fan here, but I cannot face it anymore. They shouldn't do this.
You're freaking nuts, dude.
No, he´s a musician, I guess ....
So am I.
And the moments where the tunes are a bit "spongy," it's not because of Taylor. He shines on both.
I too am a musician and admittedly it makes it harder to just listen. While there is room for improvement, it's a hell of a good start.

Sway
Jagger needs to belt this one out more I feel. The song also just kinda....ends without ever really taking off. Not as mind blowing as CYHMK but it's Sway with Mick Taylor so bonus points right there. (Woody's solo ain't half bad either)
Yeah I am with you......two things jump out, first, on CYHMK, maybe I am not getting clean sound, but for the first 30 seconds or so of the jam, is Chuck afraid to let Keith play? His keyboard is dominating what should be a nice tasty Keith thing, I can barely hear Keith at all! Secondly, I think Mick needs to go listen to Sway, his vocal sounds rushed; After cuttings tempos on everything, they get a laid back song and MJ can't wait to get through it. The inter was a little rough, but if they stick with this more adventurous setlist, this may turn out to be a very solid tour. Maybe MJ is threatened by all the MT love? Last night on the west coast aside, they obviously made a hard right turn here, no guest, shaking the setlist WAY up, MT three songs plus the fan vote song? Note to MJ, maybe your band is PLENTY good enough and you underestimated the fan base........we don't want to hear Grrrr, want want live Stones! Let's hope this is a trend.
Nice observations. I certainly hope noone considers sharing thoughts like this "complaining". If they do they need to get their head examined. It's this kind of analysis that makes a comment thread interesting. More, please.

Ronnie Wood himself is a huge fan of Mick Taylor.I am absolutely rapt for all the Taylor fans that were at the gig.I reckon I would have started levitating if I was there!

I do not know if people realize the chance they have to listen to Sway with Taylor. I like Ronnie's solo but MT one gives me the thrill (however this is a crappy sound). More shows like that and a soundboard soon I hope.
