Palace Revolution 2000
I was just pondering this. How great Ron Wood was in the Faces, and what a force he was on the 75/76 tour. More like a guest star.
And IMO the '78 tour doesn't get near enough attention here. Maybe bc they never went to Europe. But that might be the best guitar playing by the guitars ever. It was as much Ronnie's album, as it was Keith's. The weaving was stellar. They were all in love with SG album, and their new songs.
Many here prefer the 81 tour. Keith's playing was off the chain, but by then they had pretty much cut Woody down.

I like your list Gaslightstreet. I am a Ronnie's fan too. I would add "Black Limousine" from Tattoo You. A little masterpiece by Woody; his credits are all over it and the rest of the Stones do an amazing job on it.

I'm a little lazy so I don't know who plays what guitar part, however, I think that Slave should be on that list and yes, EITTG for sure.
But Too Rude? I feel like I don't know you anymore Skippy.
AND BTW, why nothing on HD?

Ronnie isn't on Slave.
He played drums on Too Rude.
I haven't heard anything that stands out on HD other than what he does on Dreamy Skies.

Is he on Tie You Up? I thought the rhythm guitar was Mick.
Wayne Perkins on Hand Of Fate, but Ronnie did good live versions in 1976/77.

Crap.
Ronnie's not on Hand Of Fate except for backing vocals and that is not worthy. Not sure why I thought he was. Another edit on the way.
Ronnie is on Tie You Up on rhythm guitar, the solo and bass. Perhaps Mick was on earlier versions but according to the two most reliable sources Mick does not play an instrument.

Although capable of compiling a top-20 post-'74 list of favourite Rolling Stones recordings, I do not believe I can muster-up a list of the top-20 'Ronnie contributions' Is that what is required, here?

There is not one single note that Ronnie played with the Stones that I don't love, so this 20 song comp is impossible for me.
I'll start listing the first 10 that come to mind. Studio only.
1) IORR - The first. Keith redid everything save the acoustic. The acoustic is essential Ronnie strumming.
2) Negrita. The fantastic riff, and the even more fantastic bridge.
3) Miss You. Every single note is a masterpiece.
4) Some Girls. The runs in the instrumental breaks.
5) Shattered. The bridge.
6) Emotional rescue - The bass is everything a bass line shouldn't be, that is why it's so great
7) Start Me Up. The way he completes Keith's riffing is a matter of beauty.
8) Neighbors. The solo is what Rock and Roll is all about. How many strings does he bend on the first lick?
9) Black Limo. The intro lick must be included in the all times essential blues liks.
10) Beat Up. Simple riff, sexy timing. Masterpiece.

Lowdown is a classic! But isn't that Waddy doing the leads?
