It was Jim Price, not Jimmy Miller.Quote

yeah but the only backup musicians in 75 were Ollie Brown and Billie Preston.
72 had a horn section comprised of Bobby Keys and Jimmy Miller and also someone on keyboards, cant recall who. So that is 3 as opposed to 2.
And wouldnt no horns = more stripped down?

is there any evidence indicating the Stones thinking on this question, or related questions such as which is the greatest "period" of the band's existence, Mr. Taylor vs. Mr. Wood, etc.
Of course, they would never consciously, publically, maybe even privately, voice such utterings and musings. Think how disastrous that would or could be.
But one might venture to think that at some point somewhere someone slipped and let something out, or someone overheard something, or SOME avenue by which we have an indication of their (each and every one of them including Mr. Taylor) thoughts on these matters.
Well ???

lol, i like the 'white hendrix' thing...is that what people really thought at the time?
i find it fascinating what the average guitar fan of that era thought of Taylor

In 1972 there was no plexi glass next to charlie, nor was there in 75. But perhaps it was there all along, it just hand't materialized in the physical sense.

I watched L&G yesterday, and what strikes me is that I prefer watching the 21st century Mick J over the 1972 Mick J. Arguably, he even sings better NOW than he did THEN.
Other than that, it's a classic apples/oranges comparison.
As for 1975/76, the band was good (usually), but I hated Mick's vocals. The affectations became self-parody.
