I think it's pretty simple: They're 75 years old. They physically can't play their catalog the way they used to.

No,Mick didn’t play anything on ya yas -he sang on it but the OP was talking about how the songs are Played in 2018 as opposed to the 69 tour.i refuse to give Jagger musical instrument credit for those maracas.

I was watching the Sweet Summer Sun / Hyde Park show the other day and it struck me how retarded a song like Sympathy For The Devil has become over the years compared to the amazing versions heard on Get Yer Ya Yas Out. Why don't they just play it like that? 2 guitars, drums and bass. And the guitar lines they play in these current versions are just childish and un-musical compared to the perfect simple guitar lines on Ya Yas. I just don't get it. Do they not know how good they sounded on the '69 and '72 tours? Can they not remember those classic, simple guitar lines? I can't believe they're physically or mentally incapable of playing these songs properly. The guitar parts on Ya Yas are not that damn complicated. Any reasonably competent guitar player can replicate those versions, which are the best versions they've ever played "live". I just don't f@@king get it. I quit. I'm out.

As far as I can hear, the guitar here does not play the latin rhythm, it's the piano and the percussion that do that.

Keith plays the Ya Yas-riff - note for note - like he always does in the middle of the song

Yes, but I am not sure that was the point of the original poster. Maybe it was.
For me, the difference is huge. On YaYa's the song is guitar driven. There's Keith's riff and Mick Taylor's rhythm.
Nowadays, it's keyboard and percussion driven. Keith can play riffs or licks or little notes here or there and you might enjoy it but it doesn't really matter if he does or not, the song will march on anyhow.

I agree if one compare it to the 1975 version. But you can't say its note for note as the '69 version...

It started, obviously, in 1989 with SFTD because Mick wanted them to sound like the records. Here's Keith with that as well:
Over the years, you develop a simplified road version of a song that you get used to. But this time, we thought, Let's go back and listen very carefully to the records to find what we were originally going for when we made it. All the subtleties and the half bar jumps. We thought we ought to do the songs up proud and have the things that were on the record. And once you go back and research what you did, you say, Well, the reason we did it like that is because we had these voices or because we had these horns. That's why we have the enlarged line-up. Tumbling Dice without the voices is kind of bare.

Fortunately they completely changed SMU.
That was a kind of novel idea back in 1989 to reconstruct the originals on stage, but it turned out to be a blueprint for all the tours ever since, one cannot talk much about 'evolvement' since 1989, but more like how well they manage in that reconstruction policy.
Compare that to what Jagger says in regards to BRUSSELS AFFAIR (while promoting it) - he sounded amused how "fast" the versions were back then. That makes an impression Mick is no any way related to the way band sounded back then. There is no absolutely way to go back...

It is even better now that you can assemble a complete show from the deluxe edition's extra tracks.
