As much as i love Ronnie, Taylor is so much better, all the best Stones music recorded and live happened when Mick was in the band.

My own great disappointment in a Rolling Stones context was the most limited use of Mick Taylor during the tour in 2013. In reality, only on "Midnight Rambler". I never understood why. Some posters seemed to indicate some health problems on the part of Mick Taylor. Still I am much in doubt about that, but I may have been ignorant. I have to admit I found that treatment of him quite ungenerous. Never before or since have I been so critical especially to Mick Jagger as in this connection. Still wondering if I was possibly unfair in my attitude then, more clearly expressed here than formerly.
During that period I also dreamt about Mick Taylor full scale taking part in a recording of a new studio album by the Stones and also taking part in a touring of such an album by the Stones as a three guitar band. In that case, dreaming also of how Mick Taylor could have contributed to revitalize surviving warhorses (in addition to many songs from the said possible studio album featured in setlists).
It was not to be. In my perspective, a sadly missed opportunity. Even more so when ongoing recording activity from time to time is more and more delayed.

I agree with you. Still Taylor left the band just like that, and prior to that they had to deal with Brian Jones who was out of order. Then a yes-man / showman like Ron Wood became the Stones's logical choice. Safety first.

Yes Ronnie should go down in history as the mother of yes men, even with £80 million in the bank and at 71 years of age he still keeps saying yes.
Pity actually because the last thing in the world Mick & Keith could use is a yes man, same goes for Don another yes man, useless to them.

Don't you think that Keith and Mick are the real yes-man these days, with Wood and Watts right after them? WtF, people have fun.

Agreed Witness, such a missed opportunity with him playing so well, it must have broke his heart to be used so sparingly, i can't work out what went on there, Keith seemed to want to bring him in the picture more ( Slipping Away, Satisfaction ) but Mick not so much for some reason, cutting his solo's short and dropping CYHMK and Sway from the set-list. I thought the most humiliating thing was when he had an acoustic on Satisfaction while Keith fumbled his way through the solo's.

All Snowy White and no Taylor on that song? Also no Peter Karp.

I wouldn't call Ron Wood a Yes-Man at all. I think he actually took way more of sh*t from Keith, than Mick. Usually it seems to be the other way around. But looking back I think he just knew what it took to keep the band afloat. It is probably true to say that he had a lot to do with keeping the Stones Rolling. Also - he was just a real happy drunk and doper. So a lot of him 'agreeing' was him just saying "Hell yeah"

Lots of better insiders on this board but I’m not sure Mick was in the best of shape on this tour to be completely reliable for a full scale 3 guitar approach - particularly when Keith was a bit wobbly too
