Well they were both guitarists in the same band and one replaced the other so its very common for them to be talked about together, no matter how you swing it.

If I had a dollar for every time you have written this on this message board, I'd be able to afford my next Stones show.. ha ha

So what's your point, they included both of these on their live album, they weren't trying to hide Taylor's contributions.

So why did you use these songs as examples when we are talking about the Stones not showing live footage of the band during these years. And bands usually perform whatever single they just released... Angie and Heartbreaker.. its a matter of opinion if you think something like Hide Your Love is better.

Come on, Tumblin Dice had single written all over it. I hope you are not serious.

You can also say the only time you got to see any of the other Stones during this period is if you watch this movie. Bands weren't releasing video packages like they are today.
You don't have to convince me to like Taylor, I have been a fan for years.
