I wonder how many will limit the amount of shows they attend this time since Mick Taylor has not been invited to join them this time? I know he was the highlight for me and added a whole new level of excitement to the shows for me and most I spoke to. The exclusion will certainly limit how much of our hard earned money we spend on the high priced tickets, travel etc to see the same war horses again and again. MT added so much excitement, even limited to the 2 allotted songs he was delegated to. He could have been used so much better. I strongly feel he elevated the others performances too. This is not a good desicion on the RS part IMO.
Or Harvey Mandel?!Quote

...maybe MT will be replaced by Wayne Perkins.

Let's face it - the whole "Taylor is back!" thing was never more than a bad joke anyway. It made sense only in financial terms, for Taylor himself, naturally, and probably for the Stones in helping them to sell some more overprized tickets - but artistically/creatively? Apart from some Sways and Knockings here and there, what's left? Midnight Rambler always sounded good without him already and the acoustic guitar on Satisfaction was not something that propelled their set into higher standards either. As the band was never willing or even able to shake up the arrangements of their usual setlist songs a bit, it is not surprising at all that for future shows, Taylor is not regarded as an "essential" addition to their stage act. But let's wait and see how things will finally turn out.

Who said that Mick Taylor is not on the summer 2015 tour? Is there a published source?

The problem: MIck and Keith chose/decided Taylor´s collaboration. So....a lot of people may miss him now.
If they hadn´t chosen Taylor we would not miss him now.
The glimmer twins put the candy in our mouth so they should not move it away...
Thank you: a very good explanation of why your name is emotionalbarbecue.

I think this all started on Mick Taylor's Facebook page where he said he hadn't been invited to play on the Ronnie announced 2015 U.S. tour, my source tells me he will be there so we'll see...tour announcement should be soon.

There doesn't appear to be such a post on his Facebook page.

It wasn't "news". It was speculation misrepresented as fact.

To me, this is kinda big news that he won't be back on the next run of shows. An explanation would be great because to me, he lit the whole thing up. Confused...
