Okay, fair enough. Your comment about The Stones hiding the back up during the first few songs is pretty much what I was trying to summarise with my It's Only Rock 'n' Roll comment. You know, the bit about it just being "the band". I can actually understand why they'd do that. I suppose it's to draw 100% attention to the old wrinkles themselves.

I guess you all got it wrong here.
For the past 40 years guitar duties were on Mr. Keith Richards, Mr. Brian Jones, Mr. Mick Taylor, Mr. Ron Wood and Mr. Mick Jagger.

And so should be forever after.
