The mixes, yes, clearly a part of the reason many of the songs have never been played live.
What constitutes "many" in this case? EOMS has 18 songs on it. From the album they've played:
1.Rocks Off
2.Rip This Joint
3.Tumbling Dice
4.Happy
5.Sweet Virginia
6.Shine A Light
7.Ventilator Blues
8.All Down The Line
9.Loving Cup
10.Stop Breaking Down
12.Torn And Frayed
12 tracks. That's over half of the album.
The mixes are fine. When you consider that Mick can't even keep track of what songs on are EXILE his complaining about the mix is just his way of being a jerk about Keith's album.
13. Sweet Black Angel
I must've missed that one!
4 songs have not been played more than twice live.
So really it's only 8 out of 18 tracks. The others obviously worked so bad live and in rehearsals that they never looked back.
Realistically Jagger only thinks 8 tracks from this album are good enough to be played live.
Compare that to Sticky Fingers on which 8 out of 10 tracks been played 30+ times.
There's a ton of fillers on Exile and judging by setlist statistics Jagger is of the same opinion.
