please watch Mick and Keith during Taylor's solo in 'Knockin' at 7.09 - it'll warm your heart..pure Stones

That looks to me like Jagger wants Taylor to wrap it up and having failed that he's looking at Keith as if to say "Do something"...

Frig me. Spine tingling?

Really, who would have thought three years ago that the Stones would be this great?

Indeed. What a comeback.

A View From The Cheap Seats

Outstanding show last night. I’ve seen the Stones (only) three times now: Knebworth 1976, Hollywood Bowl 2005, and last night. So I don’t have the perspective of many others. But this one has to be the one for me. Got a couple of $85 tickets and was hoping for the best, but got the worst. No line and easy to get in. Good news for us was that there were at least a hundred people who actually had worse seats than us, but that was about it. I complained to guest services about the restricted view hoping for an upgrade, but was told it was totally sold out. It looked jammed from our panoramic viewpoint, and I couldn’t seen more than a handful of empty seat when the lights went down. So we had to just eat it. The sound was crap, but the vibe was great.

What a show! Pretty solid start, but then Jagger announces they’re going to do Sway with Mick Taylor! Wow! There was a bit of a wonky start, but then it got going. Outstanding. And then he comes back for CYHMK with Bobby Keys! Again a bit rough in places, but there you go; I’m not complaining. Midnight Rambler was just amazing; it really rocked! But the show and band (Chuck, Darryl, choir etc) as a whole was really strong, with a setlist I thoroughly enjoyed.

The highlights for me: obviously the extended Taylor involvement. He added a whole different dimension to the band, and he was just plain happy to be there. There was really good vibe between him and the rest of the band when he was on stage, and it was nice to see Jagger giving him a big pat on the back after Rambler (or was it CYHMK?) I also really enjoyed how well Ronnie played and sounded throughout the whole show (even from our high altitude seats). I’ve never really been a big fan of his, but he pushes things along really well. Jagger, well what can you say? Charlie, just amazing, how does he do this--the driving force. No guests: after a show like this, they should just drop the idea, or least be very choosy about who they bring in.

Not so great moments: You Got The Silver, another really fine song, but it just sounded a little bit of a wreck to me, but maybe that was the sound where we were. Sympathy just didn’t cut it. One of my all time favorites, but now there’s no menace (maybe hasn’t been for a long tome), and Keith is well … let’s just say that Taylor would have add a whole new dimension to the song if he had played. In fact the comparison between Rambler and SFTD is telling. With Taylor, it’s not just a bit of nostalgia for the old folks, there’s real power there. But I actually don’t think I would have like to have Taylor on the whole show-—many of the songs were great as they were. But a couple more with him would be perfect. Just my opinion.

Overall, a really, really great show that I’m glad we had chance to see. It probably won’t come around like this again.

Chuck was terrific on both as was Darrell.

Can someone explain to me what 'terrific' thing Darryl does? He never seems to get his shoulder into the music. I would say he spends his time trying to not intrude or impose. For the life of me I can't figure out what he's doing up there with this great cast of musicians. He kind of lays down some bass, but it's not particularly memorable. There's a space among the guitars where Bill would fill it with just the right note, or he would envelop the shambles, or propel the music.

I can't honestly say that Darryl's playing adds anything. Maybe other musicians dig what he's playing, but it doesn't translate to what matters, the fan's ears. And yeah, I know all about how he played with Miles Davis. If he's so well regarded, how come nobody clamors for him to play on their records, or on stage?
Where's his great jazz solo album? If he was replaced overnight, would it make any difference at all?

Darryl is not a member of the Stones neither are Chuck, Lisa, Bernard or Bobby. He was hired to play bass. The Stones apparently love his playing and he has been with the band since Bill left and records with them sometimes as well. They want him. That's his job to lay down the foundation along with Charley. I have read that Charley loves playing with him. He is not a "personality" as the Stones are.

Yeah that little piece of business is great. Even back it up about 20 seconds before that. Mick tries to get Ronnie to maybe cue MT to wrap up, but Ronnie keeps missing Mick's looks by a second. Eventually he's goes over to Keith, who seems to joke "Hey, I trying not to f*ck up my bit". Eventually Mick gets MT's attention and with a quick throat-slit gesture they are back on track. It's quite entertaining to watch them make it up, I mean really make it up on stage.

Taylor needed another minute and a half to get the Sway going. It was nice but he surely would have brought more golden notes in a three minute solo.

I even thought CYHMK needed another minute, but that was mainly because it took Taylor so long to get into the good part of the groove. That will surely improve over time.

Only judging from the vids Sway was a total mess from all of them. And what does this mean that Taylor needed another minute and a half to get it going?

This ain't rehearsales or an extended jam session. This is real life. He has to be spot on.

Anyway, CYHMK sounded good, but still not that super dooper extra good.

Max, with respect, I think you should respect a bit more other people's opinions. Or at least try to listen them (you clearly not seeing the point in recent Taylor reneissance - it has nothing to do with Ronnie.) You are turning to be the most negative poster in this site with your personal "anti-Taylorite" campaign, and you are not like that by constitution. I hope you could carry on more your positivist and cheerfull side, in which you are great.

- Doxa

And it is you who is not reading. I an NOT anti Taylor, there is no campaign. Ican live with all. Try to grasp that.

I partially agree with you, Max. And there is a group of posters who constantly bashing Jagger and they post 100 times every day. It makes a visit to this board not the most pleasant pastime. But really all this has nothing to do with the fact that Taylor who plays with the Stones is a great pleasure for all music lovers

Theres no doubt Jagger knew the weight of the moment, but he'll want to get control of it before they play it again. He's a control freak...I quite like his harmonica playing on previous versions too so that was a shame...he needs to chill out and let Taylor play it out and even tag a harmonica solo on it...does he have a bus to catch?

Watch the look on Keith's face at 1.43 He looks not happy! (with Taylor showing him where the break is I guess) But it's no big deal Keith! There is a new dynamic on stage, and I think Taylor meant no harm, and Keith must lighten up. But maybe I'm seeing things which are not there. Anyway great dynamic on stage between all of them. Not too choreographed.
