Tell Me :
Talk
You mix up ad hominem comments and comments about Ronnie functioning in the Stones, which has nothing to do with bashing at all. I mean, the fact that he's playing great with Taylor has nothing to do with his playing in the Stones. Or should we all in a sudden like his playing in the Stones because he's done a good job with Taylor (o well, is that a coincidence or does Taylor also make Ronnie play better?!).
Yeah but it seems to me (based on the circulating videos) that he's somewhat playing "second fiddle" to Ronnie...and even to Gary Clark Jr on "Shame Shame Shame" (no solos for him!). Having play rythm is not exactly the best way to "use" his talents, besides he sings just as "well" as Ronnie, hehe...
Not sure what the dynamics here are exactly. As we've seen with the 50th Taylor isn't exactly shy about going centerstage and Ronnie's always happy to defer to other musicians, so I'm still curious as to why (it appears) to be working out like that for these shows.

Ronnie is definitely the bandleader of this band, although MT did play a number of solos. But he (MT) seemed a lot more relaxed than in the Stones' shows where he only got a few minutes to do his thing so it was much more intense--maybe it's just that. Saturday he was just casually bouncing around the stage, at one point playing air guitar while Al Kooper took an organ solo.
WOW!!!!!
I am thrilled!
Ronnie is in lead vocalist role, not being the strongest singer in the world I see the band being sympathetic and supportive to suit his approach.
In other words the set up is proceeding as it is because it works for the musicians, the music and the gigs. A larger voiced singer and perhaps more muscular sound would be needed, but that would give quite different results and not all that appropriate for a tribute to Jimmy Reed.
Erm, probably.
It ain't broke so no need to fix it though. These gigs have a genuine warmth and authenticity to them.

Ronnie sings well enough, imo.
After all, this is Ronnie's band and project, so there isn't any wonder why other people in the band won't be playing solos all the time.
Ronnie might be the best Jimmy Reed-esque player if them as well
had a great time at the @ronniewood saturday!! he's a talented performer and a smartass too - my fave combination!!

Ronnie and Mick T have got a reputation now as a double act, just after a few gigs. They got a big choice of a drummer,bass player and keyboard man, as a live act .
Blues music is their thing,but whatever they fancy playing would be fine.
Great musicians. >
Maybe they can do Sway together, Ronnie playing the first solo better than during the last Stones tour and Mick having more room to finish the song properly. They can pick many other songs as well. Would be interesting.
Now comes the disagreement...
People are guessing if Ronnie is now integrating Taylor more to the Stones. What about if it goes other way round... And the headlines will scream tomorrow: RONNIE WOOD LEFT THE ROLLING STONES TO FORM A GROUP WITH ANOTHER EX-ROLLING STONE!>

Taylor has always been a fantastic rhythm guitarist.. His acoustic parts on songs like WH were great.Quote
Denny
I have to note how great I think Mick Taylor's rhythm playing is on these dates. The close-up video of Big Boss Man really showcases this. He keeps his rhythm parts fluid, intricate and interesting, and he clearly listens to everyone in the band for changes in dynamics. It's a joy to see this bunch making a "raqcket", I hope that Ronaldo and Mick keep up this partnership in some way. They seem to gel with one another as good as any two blues guitar players around.

Wow some fabulous videos here! I'm a bit surprised Taylor is so "subdued" as someone put it...I suppose he's trying to blend in and doing his best to support Ronnie. I don't really recognize the demon who pounced on stage at the O2/1 show a year ago.
He's being a better musician on these gigs. Listening, interacting, pushing and a shoving, bluesing and rolling.
I think alike. The way he was presented in Stones shows was more like a freak show: "now Taylor, spotlight is yours, use your rare minutes under the sun well". Here Mick Taylor, a natural-born musician (more reflecting the music and interacting with the other players) is more at home.
(Not that Taylor didn't do well with the Stones as well).

Yeah but it seems to me (based on the circulating videos) that he's somewhat playing "second fiddle" to Ronnie...and even to Gary Clark Jr on "Shame Shame Shame" (no solos for him!).

Ronnie and Mick T,together with a good singer,and there are so many around, a gal as well as/or a guy,would be a great band.
Obviously got to have a bass player and drummer as well as keyboards,but they probably got the pick of the best if they fancy more live gigs.
Come on Ronnie ................give it a go if there's no Stones news soon.

The Taylor Wood show...... Absolutely fabulous!
Obviously free from any Jagger/Richards restraints they can just get on and play!........ and they do!
They compliment each other wonderfully, they need to keep it up and play together as often as possible.
Hopefully Ronnie is just warming Mick up for future Stones gigs>
WOW!!!!!
I am thrilled!

Of course and it sounds good when their rough singing is done together. It's apt for the tribute.
It'd all go pear shaped if they were to introduce things like Taylor singing No Expectations though.

Taylor/Wood they are versatile, great guitarists not just lead guitarists. At this point in time they're most interested in the groove. Heck each one of them has played a million solos at this point of their lives. They are making music and playing loose, they've learned that much from Keith. Taylor knows about setting an atmosphere or laying back. The guitar playing this night was beautifully controlled, never over the top. Kind of like 461 Ocean Blvd. or Slowhand, just the way I like it... Al Kooper should play with The Stones..Quote

Ronnie Wood and Mick Taylor Pay Tribute to Bluesman Jimmy Reed in New York City
Posted 11/10/2013 | by Brad Tolinski
While it was rumored that Keith Richards was going to make a surprise appearance, Rolling Stones guitarists Ronnie Wood and Mick Taylor demonstrated that they were perfectly fine without him as they ripped through more than an hour's worth of gritty blues at an 11 p.m. show at the Cutting Room in New York City Saturday night, November 9.
Focusing primarily on the catalog of Mississippi electric blues pioneer Jimmy Reed, the tight-but-loose band, featuring keyboardist Al Kooper, Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke and two bassists (electric and upright), occasionally sounded like the classic Exile On Main Street-era Stones. But more often they recalled the earthy stomp of the great electric Chess bands from the Fifties, playing Reed classics such as “Big Boss Man” and “Bright Lights, Big City.”
During most of the evening, Wood and Taylor locked in on rhythm parts that were different, but complimentary, as they snaked and slithered around each other, avoiding lengthy solos in favor of tasty fills and sharp statements that would’ve made the economical Reed proud.
More often than not, the comically animated Wood, who sang and stood center stage, let his array of harmonicas do the majority of the soloing as he demonstrated his surprisingly fluid chops on the blues harp.
Fans of Taylor’s great solos on such Stones classics as “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” and “Ventilator Blues” weren’t completely shut out. Taylor unleashed his signature vibrato and flurries of notes on his sunburst Les Paul several times during the intimate show on songs like “I Ain’t Got You” and two instrumentals.
Wood also thrilled his diehard guitar fans by breaking out his classic black, three-pickup Zemaitis guitar from his Faces days for some lethal slide licks throughout the night.
Yes, it would’ve been grand to see Keef mix it up in a club setting with the two guitarists, but no one was complaining when the show ended well past midnight. Ronnie and Mick, as New Yorkers would say, “aren’t exactly chopped liver,” and the heartfelt performance that paid tribute to one of their heroes made the late-night show one of the best and most memorable of the year.

Anyone who attended was extremely lucky for participating in one more great "Stones" moment, this was an amazing year for these guys. Better than any New Barbarians' shows I saw. Didn't see the winos but more fun than solo Jagger for certain.

All three shows were great. The last two being the best due to their length.
I spoke with the young blond women who appeared to be taking care of the
stage after the show. She did say they are considering doing more shows
in the future. Anyway, great shows and Al Kooper was a highlight. Al's
organ jamming is becoming a lost art.
