That was a great show again. Sir Mick Jagger is truly amazing, ultimate best frontman in a rockband. It was so great to hear "You Got Me Rocking" & "Lets Spend The Night Together". Also Mick Jagger on keyboards during "Worried About You" was somthing new for me.
The Temperance Movement were good, but they could have been also for 45 minutes instead of only 25 minutes on stage.
But there was really one sad moment. Tina Turner was on the VIP seats (right side). Why the f*** she didn't performed 1 song as a guest vocalist with The Rolling Stones??

I was sitting in Block 5 next to VIP seats and thought I saw someone remarkably like Tina Turner there.
Didn't know at the time they were VIP or that Tina was in town.
Just don't go there !!Quote

So, to sum up, in the last day or so Taylor is so out of favour that he's not being introduced or included in the final bows, has left the band and was spotted 600 miles away in London three hours before the band were due onstage in Switzerland and then managed to get to Zurich on time to have an almighty punch up with Keith onstage.
Did I miss anything or was he kidnapped by aliens while playing acoustic on 'Satisfaction' as well?
No, except that Keith didn't wear his blue jacket. Maybe that's why his playing was off, did ya'll ever think of that? That jacket is his chi.

It is not the first time that it happens that you break a guitar string, many guitarists continue to sound the same, if you do not bring a spare guitar is his problem. Here you break the rope to Wood [www.youtube.com]

This is an interesting take on things...
Do you really think that on a tour of this scale, the guitarists are supposed to schlepp their own instruments around, put them in the cargo of the plane, offload them, take them to the hotel and then to the venue, set them up behind the curtain, make sure they're tuned up before the show etc ?
these guys travel with more guitars than any band in history, Taylor having to wait for a busted string seems bizarre. This has to fall on the road crew, The Rolling Stones own most of their gear collectively there are always guest guitars and spares. Still it doesn't matter much, this was not the argument advertised, stuff happens when it's all real.Quote

If they wanna be seen as team players, then yeah!

I haven't seen the video where Mick busted a string but as the owner of Bigsby equipped Les Paul I can certainly verify that if a string breaks then the guitar will go out of tune.

She looks a bit like Diana Vishneva ?
The Russian ballerina he met at the US Embassy in Tokyo - last week of February ?

You left out that he also reunited with Bill Wyman in Zürich. Eye witnesses say Taylor and Wyman spent a night on the tiles. Painted the town red, apparently.

It was a fun Show in Zürich, some Songs worked very well (GS - very loud guitars, Worried About You - cool and soulfull version, LSTNT - first time live for me and it was slow, but great, SFTD - very good solo by Keith imo, same on HTW), some not that good (BS, Can´t be seen). I love Taylor but RW did a phantastic Job yesterday, some great solos ...
And one thing is for sure: 98,5 % of the crowd wanted to hear those "greatest hits" ... for the rest (like me) we got MT on Rambler! Point!

Well, Tina has been pretty much semi-retired for the last decade or more. I'm sure she attends quite a few gigs near where she lives but doesnt jump on stage at any of them.
