Was Fool to cry the first song ever that Mick played an instrument on on stage?
(Not counting the harmonica and all sorts of percussions, of course).

I think that Black and Blue was one of their most crucial albums in the sense that they completely reinvented themselves with that album.After Exile and Goat's head they seemed to have nowhere else to go.After very weak IORR which is more or less Stones by numbers without much excitement to most of the tracks, Black and Blue was like a breath of fresh air.It wasn't an album which could be taken as seriously as Exile or Let it Bleed but the band sounded fresh and relaxed as if the whole point of the record was just to go out there and have fun disregarding what the final results might be.As such the results are quite satisfactory with couple of tunes being the pinnacle of their post-Exile work.I don't think that Some Girls is a better album.It was just more focused.If the band had been just slightly more focused when recording Black and Blue they would have included songs like Worried about you and Slave and the record would have been a near masterpiece for it

I disagree..One of my personal favorite Light Rock Stones songs...Its this diversity that makes the Stones so great....There's nothing worse than a one trick pony!

Almost certainly. I know that he played a guitar at some Danish gig rehearsal in 1970 but 99 per cent sure the string synth was his first live instrument.
