Seemingly the 'whole' world is praising the Stones for their performance as a highlight of the show, and here are people complaining... It's only IORR but I like it...

Exactly. Must be bugs in their cereal, or something...
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.

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.
Taylor also was a Rolling Stone, long ago, and seemingly some people liked him. That's about it.
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.
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"?
The lines they have been playing all their lives, rooted in Blues/ Rock. I don't wanna get stuck in one song. The Stones are bigger than YCAGWYW only.

They certainly did better than I expected, with four iPhones (supposedly), but I get now that quite a few expected more than this

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...

been a fan since the 70's
This was an excellent version of the song
in their 70's themselves especially
ronnies guitar work is exceptional
keith must have not have really wanted to do it
charlie loved it
mick owned it
together they owned it
the rolling stones man
I was very impressed with the Stones performance , that includes all 4 of them including Keith . If anything I think Keith missed being in person the most with his band mates and feeding off each other and feeding off the energy and the passion the 4 of them create (which we all know is Magic with a capital M when all 4 cylinders are firing ) Look Mick was as sharp as ever , with super clean and crisp vocals and sharp guitar work on his Gibson acoustic and if anything maybe a little to hard or firm the way he played the chords at the beginning of each 1st beat of the tempo and such a way like a drummer would keep time , which was very interesting and revealing for this performance ( never let it be said that the Rolling Stones Frontman was not leading because he surely was ! ) Ronnie bless his hands and fingers really nailed it and put in an outstanding performance and for me it truly was a turn back the clock moment in time like it was 1975 or 1981 for Ronnie as he really Shined a light on the fills and the solo which was outstanding !!!!!!!!! As I said earlier about Charlie being enigmatic as ever and that's good enough for me as this was the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World !!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, Virginia I Love the Rolling Stones !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote

You have to be honest! Mick and Ronnie carry the whole song, keith hardly contributes. He barely touches the strings of his guitar. That's my opinion and I know a lot of you will hate me now.

If I could make One gripe or bitch it would be the way they showed the 4 boxes with Mick and Keith on the top 2 boxes and Ronnie underneath Mick and Charlie to the left next to Ronnie , which I didn't care for and I would rather have preferred the way the Stones had the 4 screens upright the same way they had them during the Licks Tour ( which I loved so much )

If Keith was playing electric in openg im sure his playing would have more impact with the iPhone feed.

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...

The Stones were way better than McCartney who gave a horrible performance of Lady Madonna.The tempo was all wrong and he can’t sing anymore .Maybe I was wrong to say Keith played bad.Maybe I should have said I would like to hear him play more

I cant believe all the critics here.
That was a fine performance considering the circumstances.
It was for free and for a good cause.
If you've been around here for some time it shouldn't surprise you. Lots of negativity as usual. And usually from the same persons also.
