Mick Taylor is part of the history of the Stones, certainly an important story, but we fans should in my opinion be a little more realistic.
Taylor and Bill were invited as GUESTS to celebrate the Stones' anniversary on that 2013 tour.
There is a big difference between being in a band and just being a guest.
I have a high esteem for Taylor as well as for Bill, however it was immediately clear to how the Stones themselves behaved on that occasion, that there was no chance for them to join the band permanently.
No one expects them to return permanently, but is there really anything that prevents them from contributing to a track or two? How hard is that? And it would be most gratifying for the hard core fans. The last studio track with Wyman and the Stones was Watching the River Flow. It didn't have a cohesive sound because all five just phone their parts in.
The reasons are easily imaginable, Taylor is part of the past, when he used himself as a guest in 2012, controversy was read every day about whether they should give him more space and this could change the internal balance of the band.
I think anyone who has played in a band understands what I'm talking about ... so no, I think it's highly unlikely that they will do it again.

Bill was on stage as a guest, but he didn't actually play on the songs. On Miss You, that would have been quite obvious for the audience, so I guess he was okay with the songs. His appearance was only out of courtesy and he wouldn't travel to the states for just that.

Taylor was always a better guitarist than Clapton.At his peak in 1973, he would have blown Clapton off the stage.Clapton is the most overrated guitarist in rock history

What is not clear for many fans is very clear for the Stones.Quote

Look what they did with Bill. No wonder he jumped off early. Put him on Honky Tonk Women and It's Only Rock and Roll. One song he didn't have a lot to do, and the other he wasn't on the studio version. They wouldn't put him on something he shined on like Miss You or Start Me Up.

Listened to the bootleg instrumental Aladdin Story and it sounds like Mick Taylor on bass. There are a lot of runs and fills going on.
It seems odd because I thought it was recorded at Olympic during the Sticky Fingers sessions, but perhaps it was an overdub during Exile. That seems more likely.

Could be Taylor, could be Keith. However, it's definitely a guitarist playing

Mick J. might say it's more duplicitous to walk away overnight leaving the band in shit.Quote

It shows the duplicitous and petty ways of MJ. MT got a version of the same treatment.

So why treat Bill that way? He let them know years ahead of time he was leaving. Was it their petty way of getting back at him for being happy?
It was ironic ... which was more about Taylor than Bill.Quote

Of course he is credited with the bass, personally I find it a style far from his, but when I read that the bass was originally played by Billy Preston, I got a clear idea of the matter.Quote

Bill played on Miss You, though. That's your example.

But beyond that, Bill has never done solos on Miss You, so I think Mick J. thought it was for him to play M.Y. or HTW or IORR would have made no difference. It was an evening to celebrate the 50th anniversary, not an evening to prove something ...
I don’t know how much Taylor was highlighted on Midnight Ramber.Yes, he was given the opportunity for a nice first solo, but Wood took the end solo, Jagger hogged a lot of the song with his harp. During the breakdown it’s mostly silly call and respond yells by Jagger and the audience with very little guitar work from Taylor.His best moment was on Can’t You Hear Knocking at GlastonburyQuote

Yes, but they put Taylor on Midnight Rambler to highlight him. Of course Bill never had a bass solo. That would have been silly to do in the Stones. But he did excel on Miss You. He is the most important instrument on Harlem Shuffle. Charlie never did a drum solo, either, but he is certainly very important on certain numbers.
