Anybody notice Taylor's dimished role since Jagger became single after L'Wren's suicide? Is Jagger trying to market the band to a more hip crowd (inc young ladies which he has a fondness for) with daggy Taylor being a casualty?

With Taylor's decreased role since earlier in the year when I purchased my Hanging Rock ticket, it's no great loss to me. More of the same I saw in 2006 already. Get a refund. Perfectly timed to buy the LA Friday DVD released in the next week or so. So no matter what, The Stones will get some Xmas cash from me. Maybe funds their retirement?

There won't be another band to capture the attention of generations like the Stones. That's because the huge range of media and it's consumption is far more diverse now than it was during Stones era. They are the Soul Survivors (sic) of a bigone marketting era. Last band that had a chance of taking their place was Guns N Roses. Unfortunately they imploded in 1995. Coincidental

Quotestonehearted <<I'd love to hear Bowie vocals>> If you can stand this extremely low-fi live recording (from November 14, 1974 and dubbed to random 8-mm footage), you'll hear him blending the IORR chorus into the chorus for Diamond Dogs--which is a good indicator of what the main influence was, musically, for IORR. Was it perhaps a Jagger-Bowie song? IORR, the

The fun police got to him before his guitar playing elevated the band out of this stratosphere. Example: Seriously, he was doing 3 tracks on the Asian tour in March (Slipping Away, MR, Satisfaction), though did a one off extra Silvertrain fan vote in Tokyo. In the European leg they've pulled Slipping Away so he's been downgraded to two tracks. Fingers crossed he gets more airt

'73 are the definitive live versions and my favorite. It's pretty much 'hard rock' with Keiths heavy bar cords and MT's soaring lead. A genre usually associated with Aerosmith or Guns N Roses but with the Stones dabbling a bit there in '73 and '74: 100 Years Ago, IORR, Dance Little Sister and You Can't Rock Me. Other than '73, the 1990 Tokyo Dome

I'm only aware of the 50th anniversary tour including a choir for YCAGWYW. You might appreciated the Dave Frost '69 version using the studio backing track, choir and all. Though they skip the 50s choir intro. Europe '73 version, eg: Brussels, Birmingham, London didn't use a choir. Mick Taylor played a luscious lead and Trevor Lawrence a spectacular sax lead:

Don't bother going to see the current lineup of Axl Rose and his Guns'n'Roses. It's hardly the same band. If want to see what they were, watch the Ritz '88 show.

I'd say the Stones threw him a bone so he'd cease TV appearances as a daggy relic doing old Stones tracks, diluting the Stones perpetually youthful brand. His limited appearance on stage may mean the Stones have little confidence in his current abilities. Could be related to MT's serious addictions, a battle KR has seemingly conquered.
