Forget it. The musical chemistry between Taylor and the Stones had gone in 2014 already.

Hmm..
The audience response to his playing would mot agree but he was relegated to 2 songs. I have comments that Keith wanted him to return. Keith gave him the solo on Satisfaction in San Jose and was great. After that he played acoustic on Satisfaction. Lol.

If Mick Taylor could be convinced to be a part of the band for a 60th anniversary would be so right. To have 4 living Rolling Stones on the same stage making music again would be amazing. Having MT play only on the songs he originally made great and not just one song.I would rather hear and see an original Stone and not a flurry of guests. Bill said he would mever fly again and I doubt Mick or Keith would drop Darryl. Maybe they would. Keih, Ronnie,and Taylor play bass. They could make this last tour musically incredible if MT joined for this 60th.They really have nothing to prove. Just make great live music again

That shipped sailed along time ago.At Glastonbury he was great, but at their collective ages it would only be nostalgia.When Bill left in 1993, Iwish they’d let him rejoin. In the studio the bass could have been divided up amongst the three Stones. On stage on the Ron Wood Songs Taylor could play bass and visa versa.On the Brian Jones songs they could split them up as well

They proved they were better with Taylor during the 50 and Counting Tour, and they can prove it again to the naysayers who seem to think the chemistry wasn't there.

I saw him in July biking around, not on a sportsbike, but just a normal Dutch bike. He passed in front of my car, he was looking OK.

It was a beautiful sunday, and he was enjoying the ride and the calm, on his own. Just stretching his legs, and enjoying the sun.

Nobody is expecting him or looking for him .And he is not well known by the people either, in Holland. Totally unknown.
Don't think he needs much shape for getting on stage. He only has to stand straight up. And he might sit down, if he wants to.

I am not a naysayer. I don't think when it comes to latter-day Stones concerts. I listen.

If Keith would have had his way to keep Taylor for more future shows...one can only imagine...what if...
MT might have even inspired them to have a new studio album finished by now.

Bill Wyman nailed it perfectly: "It's like going back to your ex. It doesn't work".

I don't think it worked live, where egos were on display. But I'll bet those rehearsals beforehand were pretty good.
