I think you're all wrong and all right. But I'm not paying this kind of money unless I get ALOT of Mick Taylor. After seeing them 34 times, I think I've earned that for myself. To each his own.
Spend them on Taylor solo shows, then.
I have already stipulated that Taylor isn't a great Solo act. But the problem for many here is that Taylor does make the Stones better - deal with that.
Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. Deal with that.
He always does, like nobody else. Taylor is made for Stones songs, Ronnie isn't. He is a Face and always will be. The Stones music is in Taylor's genes, not in Ronnie's.

Dawg, How old are you? You sound a little obsessed. Do you live in a basement w/ a real big poster of MT still on your wall? Did he nod to you once or give you his autograph? He's a very good guitar player, everyone knows that. Sometimes he makes the Stones sound better, nobody's arguing that. But it's when he plays WITH them not when he puts his head down and solos and others have to figure out how to come in and out and tell him when the song is over. (As Richards did the other night.)
Ronnie will always be a "Face"? Wood's been w/them for 38 yrs. Nobody knows what the hell a "Face" is any more. What decade do you live in? The past is the past. But maybe you'd like a hologram of Brian Jones on the stage too? It's 2013.
Wake up little suzie....

Your fascination with the finances of Mick Taylor, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, et al. is truly astounding. Perhaps there is a forum for CPAs or Tax Lawyers you can join? This forum is for rolling stones fans.
Or perhaps you just don't understand our economic system. The band offers good and services (albums, concerts, etc.) for sale. The fans can choose whether they want to buy them. If the fans buy them, they accept that the money they are paying is fair trade for the goods and services they receive. That money then becomes the band's property to do with as it chooses.
what agood looking couple!!!!!!!!!!!

It's useless trying to convert the Taylorites, especially now when they're in heaven.
But kleerie, remember: Taylor will always be a Bluesbreaker

He was too young to be a Bluesbreaker and just not too old to become a Rolling Stone.
Ronnie never has had that typical Rolling Stones gene. Brian did though.

nteresting. Why was Taylor looked upon as an "outsider" while in the Stones, then? Must be something with his rock'n'roll genes - or he was too good to be in the Stones, perhaps?

I'm only responding because Jesse is interested...NO further questions, please.
Mick T was treated well by the Stones but was several years younger and didn't talk a lot...(a bit like when you're in school and someone a year or two older often seems daunting or practically "grown-up).
My impression was that Keith's descent into being out of it was somewhat frightening to Mick and his girl Rose. Keith was fine musically but there were times when he barely got off stage before he had to be carried out.
Mick T. was a pro who didn't ask for a lot of attention and was always a joy to hear play. He played on every song then but "MR" was always special...The audiences had never heard anything like the power of this song from Jagger who fed off Mick T's (powerful but more subtle than today) "input."
