In that same interview from over a decade ago where he gave the Stones such high praise as "the greatest" , he also said the Stones are "pretty much finished".
He continues with “I’m not saying they don’t keep going, but they need Bill. Without him they’re a funk band. They’ll be the real Rolling Stones when they get Bill back.”

Dylan said what many of us have known for almost 30 years. They still rock, but they don't roll. I don't know about funk. Bill played way funkier than the sideman they've employed all these years. And he's right that they were pretty much finished artistically. They'll always be a great blues band. They proved that on Blue and Lonesome. But they'll never be the pop geniuses they were with Wyman and Watts.

I agree, they still rock but have lost much of their roll. And indeed, they had far funkier moments with Bill than any they've had since with sidemen. Perhaps fittingly, I think today (January 6) is the 30th anniversary of the public announcement of Bill's departure...even though we later learned that the true departure was in fact some time earlier.

Imho the 89/90 live "vibe" was much colder robotic (and boring?) than the one in 94/95.
Goes to show nothing's cut and dried with the stones... Bill was funky when the band was (63 to 82). When Mick took over the band in 89 and directed how the band would sound on the SW tour (pro predictable... aka robotic) Bill's playing didn't bring back the "funk" factor.

All time best? Bob knows it: The Beatles. Obviously. But Bob is Robert. I am sure he believed what he said at that very moment, on the other hand he knows we are listening... You ask him a day later and he'd say something different...
