I think both Mick and Keith are really good friends with Bill Clinton. I don't know about Obama but Mick was in the White House so maybe they are also some kind of friends. Mick and Keith are now Respectable.

QuoteMathijs Why would we want more Taylor? I think this is just awful: Why the hell doesn't he have a 5 minute listen to the album version? Why is he just noodling his way through some bring jazz fusion finger practising runs?

Quotebonddm I think they should slot Love In. Vain in after Keith's set and before Rambler. Agreed. Love in Vain with Mick Taylor playing lead could be really something special.

QuoteSweetThing Well, my theory is Jagger (or whoever) is simply not going to let Taylor play on anything where it would cause a case for the band not being able to go back without Taylor and have it sound obviously inferior. Midnight Rambler after all, sounds fine live without Taylor. Satisfaction simply doesn't matter. Studio version is iconic. No one cares how it sounds live now,

I'd rather he get to play on two 6-minute 'regular' formatted (verse/chorus) songs as a real soloist.

There seems to be quite a few very promising rock bands nowadays, there are plenty of pop bands and pop singers and of course metal bands, but oddly somehow very good traditional rock bands are missing or there are only a few.
