I wasn't suggesting people didn't enjoy the show, just saying that there wasn't a special guest.

Yes, I noticed that. And I was only adding a commentary about the fact that tonight we had so little information about what was going on there.

By the way, here's another photograph, from the Cutting Room Facebook page:

Gotcha.

I'm just following a few posts on Facebook myself.

Here's a photograph from the second concert tonight:

And here's the first videos. Thanks for posiepug, from Shidoobee:

Here's some more photographs from the second concert:

So so cool to see these two playing together. How's that for some ancient weaving!

I see disappointed reviews around the web, but they seem based on the length of the show rather than its quality. (Apparently they're continuing the Jimmy Reed tribute, btw.) I do hope for more than 55 minutes, but I'm not bothered about special guests, as long as we get plenty of MT's guitar--and RW's harmonica will be a nice bonus!

These shows look absolutely fabulous!

Ronnie both leads the band and plays excellently

They got Wilbur Bascomb (Jeff Beck band, Mick Taylor band) to play electric bass at these gigs.

wow Ronnie on harp during BRIGHT LIGHT !! I like that

"we know it's a bit late but we hope you don't mind if we stay"

Sounds good to me!

Pity the Cutting Room arrangements seemed to be so disorganized overall and spoiled people's enjoyment. I hate that NY thing where they have two shows and just rush to bundle everyone out ASAP after the first show, which is a really odious killjoy.

Hopefully, that won't happen tonight with only one show and I also hope they play longer than 55 minutes. Prices were doubled for that first show last night, so people might have left feeling short-changed on the length of show.

But the music still sounds fantastic and those video clips are a great reminder of that top night at RAH last week, which was a privilege to attend.

I'm over it Bella, just a rough week. Got the day off from work and right now I'm still in my pajamas, drinking coffee and listening to one of the fantastic videos posted in this thread, so life is good. Think I may spend all day this way.

Thanks everyone for all the great stuff and stay warm this weekend, it was cold as heck here last night.

Well...I'm jealous of you. I'm currently at work, on the computer in my cubbyhole, waiting until I can get home tonight, drink a couple glasses of wine and listen to some music!! Enjoy your day..hopefully next week will be better!!!

This makes me so happy. Thanks, Cristiano Radtke for posting it. Ronnie, Mick T., Al Kooper, the whole band is on fire.

I do so love The Rolling Stones.

Indeed. Quite a few have voiced their displeasure on The Cutting Room's Facebook.

The ticket situation was botched from the outset - put on sale in the middle of the night, Cutting Room e-mail subscribers not being notified until tickets were all sold, the ensuing StubHub snafu, and doubled prices for the added less-than-an-hour show.

Apparently the private show invitees got 90 minutes. Gratis.

Gary Clark Jr did attend the second show last night. He left early.

anyone get a good audio recording on this one?

Any one know what time tonights show is meant to Start?

glad i saved my money

When you think about it,Ronnie and Mick T have never played in the same band together,although both Rolling Stones? I may be wrong there.
They are both members of the same band now for the last couple of gigs, that can just have guests to join them on stage.....................and it's a gig to remember. ><

they both shared the same stage with the stones once on the 81 tour. apparently they go way back as far as knowing each other before either was a stone or the faces..

Ronnie Wood and Mick Taylor Unite in New York

Duo teams up for a mindblowing set of blues classics

Around 11 p.m. last night at New York's Cutting Room, Ronnie Wood closed his eyes and began playing a tasteful, descending blues intro before abruptly changing tempos. He instead kicked into Jimmy Reed's shuffle "Shame, Shame, Shame," throwing his arms high while delivering it in a grizzled howl before pointing to Mick Taylor a few feet away, who stoically delivered a searing solo on his Les Paul. "That was one of the first records I bought in high school!" Wood said afterward with a grin. "Not bad, is it?"

Wood and Taylor's show last night at the tiny venue was a loose blast as they played the blues they grew up on – the setlist included no Rolling Stones songs and mostly explored Mississippi electric blues pioneer Jimmy Reed. Months after the Stones took the final bow of their "50 and Counting" tour (which reunited Taylor with the band for the first time in decade), the duo have formed a new union, booking small gigs in London and New York with a band of pros including Al Kooper and drummer Simon Kirke. Fans paid up to $300 face value for seats at the mostly invite-only gig, which included everyone from Kinks guitarist Dave Davies to Mary Kate Olsen in the crowd.

While the pairing may seem surprising, the duo go way back: Wood was a huge fan of Taylor's in England in the Sixties. He would even fill in for Taylor when he was stricken by stage fright in his band the Gods. "He used to be too nervous even to go on, and he'd say 'Ronnie, play my bit for me," Wood recalled in According to the Rolling Stones. "Mick Taylor always underestimated his talent."

That dynamic was still evident last night, with Wood relishing the role of frontman – mugging in exaggerated poses while howling away on classics like the show opener, "I Ain't Got You," and "I'm That Man Down There" and "Big Boss Man." Taylor laid low before breaking into fiery solos – at one point in the night, he made a subtle reference to “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking" (the only Stones nod the entire night). They both harmonized on Reeds' "Bright Lights Big City," and traded raucous slide licks during an extended take on Reed's "Going to New York." The show recalled what those nights must have been like, or something you might see at a late night jam at Woody's on the Beach, Woods' ill-fated Miami nightclub – and proved the duo don't need the Stones touring machine t0 put on a mindblowing show.
