Go on and tell us how bad you think Steve Jordan is, then.

I think as Charlie got older he could not keep up with the songs with a faster tempo which is why some songs were done slower.
Steve Jordan on the other hand is younger and can probably still carry a faster beat.
Just my observation but it sure makes good sense to me.

I'm not sure it's really Steve Jordan per se that's reinvigorated the band, but more due to the fact that Charlie has passed away. Keith, Mick, and Ronnie have taken their sorrow and turned into a giant ball of energy.
That said, I did notice at one point Darryl getting in to a serious hard groove with Steve - focusing and staring at eachother...might have been 19th Nervous Breakdown - they were tight!

I like Steve's attitude and approach a lot better than Darryl's. Steve knows some of Charlie's drumming is an actual part of the song, and how it is to be played. Darryl rarely respects that Bill's bass parts are in the foundation of certain songs. I don't hear Darryl doing the Bo Diddley diving bass runs at the end of 19th Nervous Breakdown. Kudos to Steve Jordan for getting it.

Yeah i tend to think Bill was so much better, but if you leave this band the door gets locked behind you and they throw away the key. .
Ronnie probably could have done with a few more months recovery but thought shit Waddy might turn up for rehearsals.
This band is destined to become the Expensive Stones.

I think they both threw away the key, though the band left the door unlocked long after Bill waved goodbye. I watched a video from 1972 to make sure my eyes and ears weren't deceiving me. With all this talk of current greatness, I wanted to make sure they were any good at all in the past, when you paid 5 bucks to see them in an arena. Turns out they were incredible. On a whole other level. I know that tours were money losers then. The idea was to promote the band and sell albums. Almost all money comes from touring now, so the poor dears have to charge $450 to see their wrinkles close up. Or more for an 'intimate' 7,000 in a casino in an ersatz Hollywood.
Is that part of their mystique now? How much it costs to see them? I would pony up $450 to see 'that' Stones from 1972, or the Zenith of all Stones bands, the 1973 European tour. Maybe that's what the heirs will charge to see them as holograms in twenty years.

Judging by Getty images we are watching holograms now how do their wrinkles disappear on Stage, especially Mick who looked older in 1998
I don't go back as far as 72 but in many ways ( due to technology ) you could argue they are playing better now than in 1981, although not as good as in 89' 90'
It's a tough one to call, such a shame their shows were so short in 72' and were limited in their catalogue.

I feel like I can enjoy Steve's drumming for about a minute of each song, then it becomes a matter of enduring it

But compared to Talk Is Cheap , his drumming with the Stones sounds like a gentle drop of rain majestically falling into a wistfully poised leaf.
