I feel the same kind of hostile mood they had at Altamont 1969 here. Time to cool down everybody. It was just a tribute to WHO and the health workers. Not really an application for a grammy. I think they did a fine performance. No need to fight over details here.

Mick is older than Keith and today is a better guitarist.I would not say it but for the fact that for years people have ridiculed Brian’s performance at the Rock N Roll Cirus,but he IMO played YCAGWYW better and at a faster pace than Keith does here.And Brian also went on stage after midnight and was wasted.He also probably wasn’t very familiar with the song
I should have known that , my bad !Quote

Ronnie bless him really shined on his Stratocaster and really did a super job on the fills and the most tasteful solo covering Mick Taylor's parts off the studio release ( Let It Bleed ) .You all are going to laugh but I actually missed Chucks keyboard/piano
Mick Taylor didn't play on YCAGWYW, let it Bleed.The fills were played by Keith Richards.

People rip Mick Taylor’s playing on the 50 and Counting Tour,although I think he was mostly great.Why can’t someone say in their opinion Keith was not good Saturday?

Of course you can. Just like I can ask you why it you didn't find him good.
I don't know what Taylor has to do with this, though.
Some people like the fact that played on 3of their 4best albums and he played great live from1969 to 1973.What ‘s not to like?Quote

Taylor also was a Rolling Stone, long ago, and seemingly some people liked him. That's about it.

Why was Keith playing a guitar when a turnip would've sufficed?
He most certainly didn't 'spice' anything up. And when his back-up vocals are the highlight of his performance there's something off.
Having said that, Mick and Ronnie gave us everything we wanted. I don't think it's a coincidence though that with Keith absent this version of YCAGWYW sounds like it belongs on the Alfie soundtrack. As good as it was, that was Mick ringing the death knell of the band we know as the Rolling Stones. It's a Mick solo project from here on in...

So was Stu. And Brian. But they didn't play on Saturday

The licks that Keith (Let it Bleed) Taylor (Live) and Wood (Live) played on YCAGWW have certain similarities. Brian (as far as I know) nor Stu - he was the pianist-didn't play like that on YCAGWW. Problem solved.

Well, they told me a funny story about it, but I probably shouldn’t give it away, because I don’t know if I’m allowed to. I wish I could tell you, but it’s their news to tell. But logistically, I don’t even know how they pulled it off in time, with extraordinarily mixed vocals, and yet they did it from four entirely different parts of the country with very, very, very limited technology.

What similarities? I hear Ronnie lift a couple of Keith's lines from LIB. Taylor created his own lines when the Stones slowed down and drastically changed their live version from 1972 and on (before using the old arrangement again from 1989). Do you mean the "if you try sometimes-parts"?
Maybe it’s Mick coming out as a Trumper.Your comments are ridiculous.This is a classic song long before Trump used it.It has universal appeal.Its maybe Mick’s way of saying to the World you will get over this virusQuote

Does anyone think that at least partly the reason to pick up this song particularly, was a statement against the infamous use of it in certain political rallies in America (and especially seen through the tele all-over the world during election day), something especially Jagger was not happy about? Was there a small sarcasm in Mick's introduction, "this one I hope you know"...
That said, placing it without any introduction by the hosts (I guess due to the last minute addition) between the head of The UN and the two ex-First Ladies of America, was dramawise a great move, and emphasized the significance of the Stones contribution (makes me remember, by contrast, what Mick said ages ago in one press conference, seen in GIMME SHELTER movie...)

The 'whole world' doesn't know how much better they could have been. We do. But they were still great, both for doing it and for the performance.

Those 'we' seem to possess that kind of knowledge that I don't have. Personally they surpassed my expectations, and, taking the circumstances, I don't know how they could have done much better. A solid and distinguished package of great music, charisma, vitality and humor they offered. Each did well, and with the Stones the whole is always bigger than the sum of its parts. I was and am proud of them. Sometimes the 'world' knows better than the hardcore fans...
