One of the highlights for me too
Hmmm ..... rather too fast ........ and Jagger wanting to 'control' proceedings rather than letting the band take the song and following their groove ......
in 72-73 the band were having to keep with Keith's pace - and now they are having to keep up with Jagger.
Mellow out on this one, men. Let it breathe.
I agree.
This version is much better:
Mick sounds so much more powerful here!
That is the best version of MR I heard for almost 40 years! Reminds me of the extended versions on the 75/76 tour.
Fantastic. Overall, I tend to prefer the Midnight Ramblers from the Licks and ABB tours because they were rhythmically tighter, especially around the beat changes, but these are great solos. Does anyone remember if Woody played a solo like this at the end of previous tour versions, or is it just a feature of this tour because they're making it more of a loose jam?
I am very much torn by this performance. On the one hand like Dandy says - these kind of songs (nowadays in Slot 5 or 6) are IMO the hilight of show. And Ron's solo was great, although he always seems uncomfortable overshadowing and out playing Keith. Almost like he'll get an earfull later, LOL
But watching Jagger I am confused. It is like he doesn't trust his powers anymore; or what is it? He is not leading the crowd; he is following. it used to be the other way around; and if anything, his powers have increased.

All the guest who come on stage...Jagger adapts to THEM, and very often the duet fails because of this.
On WAY Jagger did several things where you could see he was not lost in the moment but judging every reaction, and then himself re-reacting. I can understand that in the big leagues and the big money there has to be professionalism. And if anyone Jagger is the ultimate professional. But the crowd got HIM to clap along.
Talk about your favorite band.

From Shidoobee (not my post, and I don't particularly agree either):
"The show yesterday had surprises - Mick Jagger on vocals and keyboard on Worried about You. On Midnight Rambler Mick Taylor nails it again on the first solo, second solo was Ronnie and to our surprise and even Mick Taylors surprise Ronnie overdid his part and serves a solo that blew everyone away. Mick Taylor was in awe of Ronnie and stopped playing for nearly a minute(I wonder if MT and Ronnie had extensive plastic surgery or they've hired Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore), it was the best solo by Ronnie I've heard with Rolling Stones even with Faces. Midnight Rambler also had an amazing double duel solo between MJ and MT, pure magic. Mick Jagger had such energy, I haven't seen in years. Charlie was a clock, but with a very heavy punch.
On a Tumblin Dice I give the show 5 for the setlist(why can't they play Sway and CMYK or Let it Loose) and 6 for the overall performance".

Worried About (based only on that clip) sounds great to me. Love it how they play and interact on stage with each other right now. I think Keith and Ronnie play really good. Mick Jagger gives a great performance. What a great band. See you at pinkpop!

For me, WAY was a highlight, if not THE highlight of the show. I'm very much in the minority here, though, as so many I have talked to thought they should have skipped it

Brown Sugar from Love You live which I think was a Paris 76 gig has to be one of my top RW solo's. More that just the solo but the playing throughout. His riff/licks overtop of Keith's rythmn is spectacular. It's all feel and rock n roll power. In fact no one has done it better IMO. The song is sloppy overall but that doesn't take away from RW firing on all cylinders.
Seriously give it a listen and tell me I'm wrong?!

I'd Rather Go Blind on the Faces live album, Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners. This one's a different take, but it gives you an idea.

is the overall sound of the band "beefed up" with Ronnie tending toards Les Pauls on this tour? I haven't heard any decent soundboards to make a judgement yet

Never liked his noodle solos but have liked very much at times his weaving and slide.

Solo from "You can't always get what you want" @ Seattle, 18th July 1975 must be the one.

I am very much torn by this performance. On the one hand like Dandy says - these kind of songs (nowadays in Slot 5 or 6) are IMO the hilight of show. And Ron's solo was great, although he always seems uncomfortable overshadowing and out playing Keith. Almost like he'll get an earfull later, LOL
But watching Jagger I am confused. It is like he doesn't trust his powers anymore; or what is it? He is not leading the crowd; he is following. it used to be the other way around; and if anything, his powers have increased. The way stadium-rock works is that the audience looks very much to the performer for cues. And Jagger's aura has only gotten bigger over the years. So why does he not trust his ;powers anymore? All the guest who come on stage...Jagger adapts to THEM, and very often the duet fails because of this.
On WAY Jagger did several things where you could see he was not lost in the moment but judging every reaction, and then himself re-reacting. I can understand that in the big leagues and the big money there has to be professionalism. And if anyone Jagger is the ultimate professional. But the crowd got HIM to clap along.
