By inviting musical guests from a younger generation and different musical genres(not R&R) than them, the Rolling Stones show that they aren't stuck up in some ideological/musical box. Lots of kids are going to discover who the stones are by watching videos of Swift, Perry, Gaga playing with the veteran rockers. Musically I don't like those new artists but I can see why Mick invites them on stage.

I don't get this. I really don't think that a bunch of 13 year old girls are going to run out and start buying Rolling Stones albums just because one of their fave singers sang one song with them.

Although I don't care about the nightly parade of various younger guest stars that mark this tour, I am surprised to hear this...

Their voices actually sound nice together, it's a good song choice for them if only they had rehearsed some harmonizing together, which it doesn't sound like they did. On the first "I sit and watch...", I thought that I heard her initially trying to sing a 3rd-below type harmony part, and then quickly switching to a simple octave line.

This was only okay...

I dont know if I like it or not, I probably did... maybe Swift is an aquired taste, but regardless it did make me smile watching Jagger guiding her about as if he was showing off a new debutante or something... anyway... I bet the Taylorites, or is Swiftites, will buy up every copy of this released.

In this case Taylorites as well as Taylorians hold a neutral position. cool smiley

I love Keith here, Jagger singing rather well. But I don't like the girl's voice: too shrill for the song. And now I want them to perform Blue Turns To Grey and The Singer Not The Song as quickly as possible! No singer guests needed.



Listening to the song I was a bit disappointed - Taylor Swift had done her homework and knew the words and made a decent job of it, but I agree with kleermaker that her voice is too used to singing things that need a lot of "attack" and is a bit harsh for As Tears Go By. Very far from a trainwreck but not as good as I hoped it might be - and Mick didn't seem really comfortable with his singing either.

As for Keith sitting down - they sat down to play the acoustics for Lady Jane last year, and I think Keith also sat to play ATGB when they did it in Italy on the Bigger Bang tour.


He was seated for ATGB in San Francisco as well.

She's not regarded as a gifted vocalist, but as a songwriter, she sure has been more successful than Jagger-Richards have over the last 10 years.

It was lovely - and the perfect song for her. The guest artists as a whole have worked out quite well. I was skeptical about this one but she was just fine and Mick was great with her. I like having one surprise per show.

I wonder if Mick goes around humming, singing under his breath, "Lets give them something to talk about" right before he picks the guest artist du jour? winking smiley

Guarantee no one will know who Taylor Swift was in 5 years. I've seen better duets on High School stages.

Really? She's an extremely successful international superstar. She writes her own material and she's very wealthy and runs her own corporation at an extremely young age. Much younger than the Stones were. She's not my cup of tea but maybe you're right, no one will know who Taylor Swift WAS in 5 years. Of course they'll be quite aware of who she IS.

right on 24FPS she's already a veteran performer and has structured her performances to give maximum entertainment..really think her staging is good, i've seen her live dvd...my daughter is a fan, she's 12...

she'll be around for awhile. she might not be the greatest singer but she goes out of her way for her fans..

Why can't more of us admit that there are artists of each generation that have genius? Do you really believe that the Stones, or the Beatles, or Dylan, or whatever other bands of your youth floated your boat most were unparalleled and will never meet their match? .

They're not of my generation, but the answer is yes. Clearly. They were not and they will not.

But a few will learn about the Stones.It's often a slow progress. And in a similar way many young white kids (like me) discovered blues musicians through bands like the Stones. And even if that was a bit different. Whats so bad about some new blood? By 2013 we've seen all those old (Blues) guys more than enough.

When I was looking for a YouTube clip of the atgb performance I wound up somehow on the thread on the Taylor swift forum about her appearance with the stones. There were 18 posts. Every single one was about the outfit she was wearing. Not one about the song, or mick, or the stones. It was as though they didn't exist. They were discussing what event she had worn the outfit at before.

Hate to tell you this but the Blues will be around when YOUR children are your age. Where will Taylor Swift be? She'll be a clue in a crossword puzzle.

The Blues never die.
