Quotestonesrule I was there...they treated Mick Taylor fine. With the exception of the reality of Keith's growing drug problem which was difficult for anyone with any sensitivity to deal with. What compelled you to comment on this. You mentioned above that you're referring to 1969. You were where ? Oh, there. Oh, well obviously you must be an SME then.

QuoteGazza Thanks, Brian. It'd be nice if you got a mention from the stage on Saturday. I hope Mick Jagger has the wisdom and courage to say in public that Brian should be remembered by everyone in attendance at the Park. If he does that it would restore some of the faith I thought I had lost.

QuoteMitchSeaGull Mick Taylor's contract with the Stones says that he gets $1000 for every song he plays on. They had to cut him back because it was costing them too much. That would be a steal.

Quotestupidguy2 Agree. Why the snipping from all these naysayers. MT seems to having a blast, feeling appreciated etc... It's silly to expect him to sit in on the entire show. Jeez people. This is epic and some of you are nitpicking. Plus, touring at that level is tough, physically grueling and the Stones are used to it. MT has been playing small gigs for decades now. He might not be i

Quotesonomastone My theory after attending last night is that he's not handling his drink well. Explains the sloppy kisses, pete townsend arm waving, dancing rather than playing guitar, and the band not asking him to play on more songs.

Quoteslew Keith seems in good shape its a short tour but will be interesting to see if he gets better as he used to or if he gets tired. Its a lot of travel for a 70 year old who has more wear on him then most. My guess is he will play better and not pose. For the Northern American tour it's only 7 different bases to travel from. There are always days off between shows and he has a team
