From what I read here it looks like this 'slipped' by most everyone... Keith has his pal Mick Taylor up for a play, and to sing along... Heartwarming indeed. Why don't we just let the boys play, and sit back and enjoy all they've done for us. Shall we? video: [youtu.be]

Is it confirmed that MT also played on BTMMR?
Thanks,it makes sense to bring Taylor on for these tracks,not only to help flesh 'em out,but also so he's not comin' on cold for RamblerQuote

Keith's song writing is hit and miss and sometimes in the same song. But he adds something that Jagger seems completely unable to achieve...Some emotional honesty, tenderness and vulnerability. Even in the self mythopoeic Happy you are touched when he sings "Baby won't you keep me?" His songs are about something. He likes to play with words. Even his rickety voice and guitar playing add to the feeling of genuineness. When he takes the stage with Wood and Taylor it is something extraordinary and unlike anything else in the show. Taylor on backing vocals? Incredible! I would love to know how this came about! Even Taylor senses the need for restraint on this song. His delicate touch is commendable and leaves you wanting more. I look forward to hearing more versions of this song. The performance asks the audience to come to the song. And if you are too busy or too bored...Well f**k you. This is by far the most interesting song in the show.

Slipping away is a true highliht, I really must admit. It is a very nice and surprising idea to bring MT on Keith's set, it's something really new, GREAT!! Please go on with that ...

Rolling Stones in Abu Dhabi
Yes, there were mistakes, negated notes and forgotten lyrics – Keith touchingly laughs at singing the line ‘am I losing my touch?’, after fluffing the line before – but The Stones’ were always lose and live, and all the more real and charming for it. It’s those uncharted moments – the ragged, raging outros of ‘Jack Flash’ and ‘Brown Sugar’, those chugging juggernauts of blissful improvised sound that threaten to fly off the rails at any moment, but skid into the station just behind schedule – when the band truly cooks. When it sounds, unmistakably, like The Rolling Stones.
This is always my response to folks who delight in pointing out the occasional missed cue or lyric....

You mean his ever-more-perfect blues voice? Isn't it great?!
(Seriously, when I first heard the Boogie 4 Stu album, I didn't recognize his voice at first, not knowing he was on the album--I thought it was one of the old blues guys. Which, of course, it is. )

What a great show with the undisputed icons of rock!
And the next day Ronnie Wood came and chatted with us on the beach. Like a dream come true. Joking about "going to the office in Tokyo!" We wanted to go with him. Videos posted on YouTube.
Thanks for coming everybody! Enjoy the rest of the tour!

Well put. Jagger's greatness is in somewhere else than in expressing genuine emotions, so Keith' set is always a special touch of artistic purity within a show. Adding Taylor now there - a wonderful surprise, but still rather 'logical' move by Keith. He fits there in many ways. Beautiful.
