DJ does a good job. Every time a mix appears where he is heard clearly we are reminded of this. It is a bit messed up that he is so burried in concert The Stones motive to not showcase him is non-musical and one of their few mis-steps. Still Bill is better in every way. As a genuine member his clout kept the guitars in line, a job which Jagger takes on these days to varying success.Bill's ability to anticipate the changes and telegraph them is the perfect foil for Keith on stage. Like Macca and Enthwistle Wyman is an icon, a giant among bassists in rock and roll history.

I would add Bill's ability to create something special while there isn't really anything exciting going on in the song, i.e. a and d-chords being strummed like in Whip.

Darryl does a good job indeed, that wasn't my point.

Bill also complained about being buried in the mix, especially on records.

to both of you!

Darryl does a good job indeed. But it is "just" a good job, like a studio musician. Bill is (or better: was), by all accounts, more original, he adds something unique to the Stones sound.

The change from Bill to Darryl was like replacing Keith with a technically extremely gifted guitar player - it would not sound the same.

That was a bad comparison. The Stones would not survive without Keith, which they do without Bill.

Well, the Stones never had to survive without Keith, so that's an open question. Who knows what would have become of the Stones if the canadian court had decided for a long-term jail sentence instead of two shows for the blind?

Wasn't there already a "Plan B" to carry on with Woody and Mick Taylor back in the fold?

For me it's apparent that the Stones live sound lost a crucial ingredient after Bill's departure, call it what you want, the "swing", the "roll", the "wobble".

Bill's contribution to the Stones sound chemistry is criminally underrated IMHO. This unique chemistry in the Stones rhythm section is apparent already in the very first Stones recordings from the early 60's - just compare the Stones to contemporary bands like The Yardbirds or The Animals, to name a few. Listen to very early live recordings from Scheveningen 1964 or, for better availability, the TAMI show. Right from the start the band didn't sound like individual musicians just playing together, but musicians creating a unique sound where the sum was always more than it's individual parts.

Man, this photo really says it all. A happy guy, c'mon-guys-look-at-me, it's not just about music, maybe a happy soul. I have never seen Keith so fresh, released from the pirate character, the riffmeister, the tough guy of the 70's. This is a happy man. When I saw the second Buenos Aires show, the ovation was so huge that I thought "this guy is receiving at least a little of what he gave us". And look at his face. Thanks Keith for all you have given and all you gave. Thank you Rolling Stones.

AMAZING photo, haukej. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful indeed, Haukej - thank you! As is the Happy one you posted, Cristiano.
It's great to see Keith so well and shining (and that shirt really suits him too)

Lovely pictures, haukej - I like Mick on harp and Ronnie loving the audience and Keith with the pick in his teeth.

And the one Cristiano posted is beautiful.

Many thanks, haukej, for sharing your fabulous collection of excellent Rio shots!

Alright, I see your point. But the Stones would not be the Stones without Keith, imo. But Bill's contribution to the band was or is fantastic and his bass playing created a sound that is irreplaceable, I agree with that, but I still think that Darryl is doing a great job as the bass player of the band - and his bass playing works just fine to me.
