If they can take DLS to this level then it will be a great consert song.
This is a lovely version. Even better than the original, imo
Good grief, you really must be kidding.
DLS, LIV, Silver Train and the like without Taylor fall flat on their faces. Neither Ronnie nor Richards is able to add that special something that's needed to make those songs sound great. To make them sound special they simply need Taylor badly.
Did you really listen to this El Mocambo version?
Why don't you like it? It's a little too easy to say you don't like it only because it lacks Taylor, since everybody is playing really good here.
This version has the energy the studio version so sorely lacks, imo.

Hey guys,
I think they didn't play "Dance litte sister" yesterday it was "Silver Train" again
You are absolutely right.
SILVER TRAIN IT WAS.
The lyrics were including:
And I did not know her name
And I did not know here name
I will correct my original post.
Sure it was SILVER TRAIN once more.
There were lots of noise at that time, but now it is 100% right finally!

Just to bring you back to Earth, even BV agrees, Silvertrain was misheard as Dance Little Sister. understandable with Parisian traffic etcetera

Thanks for putting that list together, I wonder if they will resurrect "Harlem Shuffle" or "One Hit" to have something off of DW...

mick taylor @rehearsals today!!
All of these first hand report backs from Paris are very exciting!
However, somewhat anti-climatic. I do remember Keith Richards saying again in recent interviews once again that Mick Taylor would be helping him and Ronnie out on guitar work. I honestly looked forward to his participation as per Keith. Not that I would ever discount Ronnie, who I believe is a fierce guitarist that often has had his creativity stifled by only playing Jagger/Richards compositions. Ronnie is a great songwriter and a hell of a lead soloist that is left to imitate Mick Taylors work and constantly being compared. It is really unfair. I have seen him in the Faces decades ago and was really impressed. It's sort of like Mick Taylor filling in for Ronnie in the Faces. I really do believe that there is room for Taylor to blend on songs that he originally did in the Stones. But, unfortunately it seems he will show up for rehersals at the end and relegated to one or two songs again. That being said I am glad to seem him back onstage again with his old bandmates!!!

Oh right, had forgotten about that one...LIND would be great but probably a "hard sell" being slow and likely unknown to most in attendance. RJ, RFD, BOMH or ONNYA (if played Press Conference style) would probably be "easier" but will they bother?

I think Ronnie Wood is in a good form, so I assume he would do a fine job there (okay, here goes any hopes for the membership...) Actually, I think Ronnie (with Taylor) was the hero of 50 AND COUNTING.. (I wasn't so impressed of Keith as many have been)

Then many takes i.e. 3x
Streets Of Love
This one was of course hard because Mick Taylor did not work on it. But I hope they can do it on the tour.

Mick Taylor is in the house, and the first song they jump on into is...
SILVER TRAIN
It is true to the original and it will be a joy to hear live with Mick Taylor as guest on tour. By the way, he is more than a guest now. He is arriving with the band. For a long time fan who saw the Stones first time with Mick Taylor in 1973, some 41 years ago soon, it is so nice to see him back with the band, and I do see that they enjoy having him with them. And I have been so lucky to see Mick Taylor solo many times over the years, and I love his unique guitar style and true gentleman style as well. It is a win-win. Thanks!
For those who wonder how it is possible to mix up songs at the rehearals. Well, we are outside, the band is inside. Some times we do only hear the bass line and drums. Some songs like Silver Train are played in a soft tone. With all the heavy wind we have in the afternoon, and heavy traffic from nearby train cargo lines, trucks in the industrial area and so on, it takes more than a musician to figure out what they really are playing. But with the collaborate effort we get it right, in the end. Like today they played a soft, soft, soft version of "Streets Of Love". Keith was not there so Mick Taylor was working his way into the song. I think I heard suggestions about many songs including Angie, Sister Morphine and you name it, because all we heard it soft in the afternoon heavy wind with mainly the bass and rhythm line, and that is not much. Come back Keith, please break some strings and let us hear it loud! Anyway, we did figure it out in the end.
Keith is not here. He had tu rush back to some family affairs. I hope everything is well but they say Monday is a no-no whatever that means. It is not often you get to hear the Stones without Keith. I wish Keith and his family all the best and see you soon. On with the show.
SWAY x 2
Guess who is doing the solo with Ronnie...
Get Off Of My Cloud
Let It Bleed
Live With Me
Respectable
Then many takes i.e. 3x
Streets Of Love
This one was of course hard because Mick Taylor did not work on it. But I hope they can do it on the tour.
More later...

Wow, never thought I'd see the words Mick Taylor and Streets of Love in the same sentence. That would have been extremely cool to hear just Taylor/Wood doing those songs.

MT will play Midnight Rambler & Satisfaction and he is not a bandmember.

Well Silver Train is a good start.
But I'm hoping for:

Stupid Girl
Out of Time
Heart of Stone
Moonlight Mile
Casino BoogieDance Little Sister
Melody
Lies
Slave
They must have read my list last night! One down nine to go.

Oh my GOD!
Tonight they played Heartbreaker Moonlight Mile and Shine A Light! MT played lead on all three... On HB you could hear the same wha-wha drenched leads you could find on 73 boots!
Golden magic moments that make the wait the cold the wind worthwhile!

" Keith is not here. He had tu rush back to some family affairs "
07 FEBRUARY 2014
Rolling Stones star Keith Richards has become a grandfather once again.
The guitarist, aged 70, welcomed a new addition to his family when daughter Angela Richards gave birth to Otto Reed.
She and partner Graham Whitney already have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Ava Melody.
Rock wild man Keith, who now has five grandchildren, said: "I couldn't be happier for them."
Congratulations !!
