I find it sad that people feel compelled to post stuff like this - in fact I find it awful sad.
Really? I could care less myself. It's his opinion and he's entitled to it. Are we to discuss only happy things that everyone can agree? Perhaps in the guidelines for the board we need a list of approved topics. Just saying...

Yes, I think it's fair that he share his apparent angst over this song.
But in the same tone, I think it's just as appropriate to ask why he's having an aneurysm over their playing it. He's taking a verbal crap for us all to see, we should be well within our right to ask him why he didn't just use the washroom.

True, but should it really make someone "sad"? It's "sad" he had to post that -- that's a hilarious statement!

Why?
Of all the songs they could play why add that stinking turd to the setlist ?
And to add insult to injury make Taylor play on it

Let's put all this nonsense aside....
Any chance we can get Mick Taylor on Back To Zero for Madrid?

Perhaps try listening to the lyrics?? DOH...

The Stones might make a triumphant return to the UK and to the USA, on the basis of a new studio album, from which they ought to be able to include four or five songs in the setlists. Would not that be great? Also providing some effect on how the older songs would emerge live.
An ideal Rolling Stones could and would do so.
Let Mick Taylor take part in the recording of that studio album. Then those live songs might be the songs that would feature Mick Taylor on stage later on. What added interest those new songs could draw then!

To me it'd be like AC/DC suddenly adding say 'Money Talks' or some other awful shite to their next setlist for no apparent reason

In another thread I wrote the post below.
Somehow, this with "Strets of Love" played live and involving Mick Taylor, is the Stones - of course, not because of that post, please, but instead out of their own accord - indirectly testing the thought in bold towards comparatively fresh material:Quote

Then I wonder: Did this experiment work as a special attraction to this audience?
Could the experience work on the minds of the band to record a studio album with the aim, to some extent, to renew the setlist with some songs (3, 4 or 5), later played live, those songs being some to feature Mick Taylor?

Did you go to the show? Do you live in Italy?
The song was played for those who went to the show, and it was probably one of the most popular songs of the entire performance in Rome. Just read the reports.

I was not in NYC in November 1969. And even if I was out of the country that does not disqualify me from saying that 1) SFTD is a great song; and 2) the band's performance of this song on the 28th was compelling. In later years Jagger's encouragement of the audience's "Woo-woo's" adds little to the performance even if making that noise is fun and enjoyable. I have trouble wrapping my mind around the center image of this song...the streets of love. When I saw the band perform it in Oakland...whenever '06?...Jagger gave it the hard sell and the song seemed interminable. On the big screen Keith looked...disinterested and almost mockingly amused. Nonetheless Taylor's involvement here is curious. I do not hear him doing much, but I wish I did. Many later career songs cry out for his tasteful touch. Biggest Mistake comes to mind. I do not think Taylor can save this song, but I'd like to hear him try. He almost did it with Angie.

I was there. Streets of love sounded great. Italian fans were signing very loudly. More so than other songs like Out of Control. It was Number 1 in Italy.
What i'm trying to say is that it was a really good set list choice. If you weren't there, i'm not really sure how you can complain?

I'm not a SOL-fan, on the contrary. The song is a bit of a sleazeball. But at least they are willing to try something new and even letting Mick Taylor in on it. So I guess we shouldn't complain...

I think the crowd would quite rightly have complained if the DIDN'T play their last Italian number 1 song.
I'm not saying I love this tune, but it does get a better workout live.
Would have liked to have seen MT on it as well.
