The pleasure is all mine! I always enjoy reading your updates and knowing you have a radioshow (with this motivation) as well makes me understand the passion you guys have in SA for music must be huge. Thanks for sharing that and best of luck with your show Cristiano!

Mercy: Mick Taylor doesn't "embody" either of those tracks.
Loving Cup is a piano-driven number and Mick T didn't play on the studio version.
His slide is lovely on All Down the Line but it's only part of what makes the track great.
I reckon that on the 2014 tours Mick T is playing on what he wants to play on.

Would somebody PLEEEZZZZ explain to me why in the world the Stones would play Loving Cup and All Down the Line WITHOUT utilizing Mick Taylor, the best guitarist in the band and the person who embodies both of those Exile tracks? I mean c'mon Mick & Keith, are you guys kidding me?

You actually think he prefers to be inactive for almost the whole show? Very likely.

I think I saw him on four numbers at one of the Tokyo shows - MR, Silver Train, a Keith song (can't remember) and Satisfaction. That was really nice, but it seems that they've settled into a comfortable pattern. I'm OK with it. Ronnie's been playing on that number for about 40 years. Thinking back three years, I would have never dreamed we'd see Mick Taylor on stage with the Stones again. I'm happy just to see him there.

We all know how helpful Ronnie has been to Mick Taylor. I am sure he would have been happy to step aside (actually overjoyed) to let Mick Taylor play slide on All Down The Line. As Mick did in 1972 live in Houston [www.youtube.com]

I love his playing, I'm a taylorite, but he has some issue with his own sound.. You can see, he seems never satisfied with his sound level, or his amplifier, either playing with his band or with the Stones
I don't know what become the "cool" Taylor of the seventies, but now he is restless, and seems never have the distance you see with other musicians in the band, including the session musicians.
What I'm saying is that maybe he is not playing more is because he has difficulties to stay and wait his turn while playing with the Rolling Stones big band of 2014.

@boynamedsue69: I don't think that last pic is from Nov. 1st?
None of his/her shots are from November 1st, but they're nice photos.
Maybe s/he could ask BV to move them to the right thread.

Romantic dreaming about old days... Mick Taylor quit in the 70's by his own decition, and is now a guest guitarist on a few selected and rehearsed songs, like Midnight Rambler. He might appear on Sway and Can't You Hear Me Knocking if they do one of these.
If you want to discuss Mick Taylor performing on more songs there is a separate thread for that here:
We want Mick Taylor on more songs please

I bitched plenty for Taylor but if he's happy and getting what he needs to have a good life in the future I'm happy. Ronnie's strongest solo skills are as a slide guitarist and I doubt anyone wants him to lose his cameo even if the record was Taylor. Of course this 1972 version is night and day compared to today's band, Charlie is hitting real hard and the guitars are magnificent plus Bill is clearly the one in control of the entire lock and groove. That was long ago today they still take chances but a 3 guitar band is not who they are, Keith would get very lazy in no time and we'd have something less like the Stones than ever. Although sometimes we have our own vision for the band, it's their band and 50 years is proof they are the experts.Quote

Does anyone know where to find a video of "Loving Cup" from Perth 2?
