The 81 tour somehow doesn't get enough credit for sheer musiciaNSHIP. I think the Keith/Ron guitar duo ran about as hot as it ever did on that tour.
Ron's playing - taken on its own- was very good in '75 tour. But everyone else was off. In 78 they were excellent. I just think that by 81 they got even better. I will never forget standing in the Fox theatre, and seeing Keith a few feet away riffing on "let me Go", and I think it is the best I have ever seen him play.

Indeed! I get so tired of people saying Sway is never any good unless Mick Taylor's on it. On SFL, Wood does an awesome job at making the solos his own!

True, Ronnie really improved his playing between 2013-2015, maybe he started practicing again after listening back to his slightly embarrassing solo on Champagne And Reefer with Clapton in 2012?
SFT has some of his best guitar work ever with the Stones if would say.

I was having trouble remembering what more he solos on. There's not a lot of soloing on Stones songs it seems. I can think of about 10 that Keith does. Unless it's all just blended together. I know there's a bit of lead playing but solos, eh, not really the strong point of any album, with exception to STICKY FINGERS.
Hey Negrita
Lies
Some Girls
Far Away Eyes
Respectable
Black Limousine
Summer Romance
Send It To Me
Too Tough
Dirty Work
Hold Back
Terrifying
Etc..

Eh, there's not exactly what I would call a solo in Hey Negrita.
Some Girls... I guess. I didn't take those to be solos so much as just lead runs.
The running in Summer Romance I didn't really take as a solo either!
Send It To Me... not really a solo in that either!
Yeah, Too Tough, that's a good one.
Dirty Work... I had to listen to the title track because the only solo I can recall on that death inducing LP is that excuse of a solo in the yawn of a track One Hit. There is some nice guitar work on the title track. Possibly because it has elements of UNDERCOVER in it.
I deleted Hold Back. And I'm not bothering with it on YouTube.
I'm guessing from the over the top Stratness to the soloing in Hearts For Sale that it's Woody.
Possibly his most moving solo is the slide solo in Out Of Tears. That's outstanding.

You're right, but I recall he was great in 2007 also? I know he had some bad moments in 2006... But that's what I like about Ronnie, he's a very ''in the moment'' player, sometimes his solos are almost cringe-worthy and other times they're fantastic.

All of those are solos, of course.
And the DW solo is superior to that of Too Tough

It's not that it doesn't have Taylor on it, it's that the Stones just can't play it worth a shit live.

Hello everyone, my opinion is that music is not a sporting event, but it is art, there is no winner. So what for me is best for you can be worse, Taylor is a great guitarist, but so is Ronnie, has his career to witness it. Sway as other songs of the period are not in the style of Ronnie and therefore must adapt. But Sway played at Fonda is an outstanding release and Ronnie makes a great solo.Quote
Hairball
If one compares the live version of Sway that Mick Taylor played on during the '50 and Counting tour' vs ANY live version from Ronnie, well there's really nothing to compare.
Some would say it's 'apples and oranges' and both have merit, but it's really diamonds and dirt clods...one (MT) is clearly superior over the other IMO.

Most of those are just leads. Solos are definite parts. Like what Woody did for Start Me Up on the 1989-90 tours. Or the solos in Star Star, Dance Little Sister, Sad Sad Sad, Bitch, Slave, She Was Hot. Actual solos.
At least that's how I think of a solo. With the Stones, that is.
In fact there are two great Ronnie solos on Sway from Fonda 2015. And I like the version and the solos from Austin 2006 as well.Quote

Deleting it from your computer isn´t enough. As long as you are not burying the LP/the CD in your backyard you won´t be safe.
Out Of Tears - a good solo wasted. OOT is one of the Stones´ weakest tracks. I usually do not skip tracks when listening to an album, but in this case I sometimes do.

GLS, come on ,man, LOL. Leads - Solos? When does a lead become a solo?I do think I know what you mean, but to differentiate like that just becomes too subjective. One could take Ron's solo-ing on "Negrita" very much as a "solo". I think you are using placement within the song to make your qualifications.
