Of course Bill is greatest bass player In history
Bill is the best . Daryl's live sound is so low in the mix and it is a disservice to his playing and skills on the fretboard . They are 2 different bassists in style , but make no mistake that Daryl has the job because of his super skill set !Quote

The first time I recognized Bill's great playing was by listening to a Hampton 1981 bootleg. The bass is very much upfront in the mix and you can hear every single note he was playing. Awesome, fantastic, unrivalled.
Daryl's definitely a great bassplayer but Bill's playing was outstanding and gave the Stones' rhythms the certain something.

The more I listen to the Stones music the more I realize how integral his bass was .Even live stuff like Ladies and Gentlemen his playing gives it that unique sound

To be honest I don't recognize Bill's style in this song. So I don't know, but on that album the bass was also played by Robbie Shakespeare, but I don't know about that song.

My thoughts as well, was listening to the alternate outtake and dance version on youtube after seeing this thread and it is not reminding me of Bill. More like something Robbie would do.

Mick Taylor was different than Brian. Ron Wood was different from Mick Taylor. Both left their mark. Darryl is just there. Which I guess from a professional standpoint that's all Mick wanted.

Darryl Jones may be techinically better than Bill. Years light far away from him. Ok-
Darryl has played with Miles Davis. Ok.
But ....my friends....no Bill no Stones sound. Period. Irrespective of the recorded songs which he has not played bass.

I don't even know what technically better means. Bill is just good. Go listen to 'Drinkin' TNT 'N' Smokin' Dynamite'. Bill is amazing. He SOUNDS better than Darryl. What more could possibly matter in music? It's like those guitar shredders that go nowhere. Or the bass players in the 70s that would noodle around forever. Bill can place one note, as he did on No Expectations, and it's perfect. I've never felt any emotion from the bass on a Stones cut since Bill left. Except for Voodoo Lounge where Darryl played like Bill on You Got Me Rocking.
