I was at the first show of his last American tour. Very small club, maybe 200 people (...) he was not fit mentally or physically to tour. the next show he lost his voice and the third show he was in the hospital.

I would welcome a solo tour. I've loved his solo shows in the past...get to see him really stretch out and play some awesome blues and slide. It isn't the caliber of a Stones show but it's a lot more intimate and personal and a much better display of the man's guitar skills. peace

Jeff Beck has too much storm and thrash, there would be no room for Taylor to breath. When Jeff Beck is around, there is only one lead guitarist, and that is Jeff Beck.

Semi-OT but MT wasn't thought as "an ex-member" much less "a member of the Stones family that finally comes home".
He was seen as a sideman.

I just hope that he didn't burn too many bridges when he cancelled his last tour.

I would not hold my breath for a MT solo tour. Historically, his periods of making money are followed by (sometimes long) periods of inactivity. I assume he made some money last year.

I was talking about Taylor in Top Form. Beck respected Taylor's playing a lot, and he steps aside for players he admires, like John McLaughlin, one of Jeff's heroes.

As much as I like Taylor, he's not even close to the same league of player as Jeff Beck or John McLaughlin, technically speaking. Yes I know technical prowess has little to do with good feeling music, which Taylor is more than capable of producing. Maybe playing with Beck would bring them both to a different magical place, I'd love to see it but I doubt it will happen. I imagine Beck respected Taylors playing in the early 70's but he has come a long way since then, Taylor
much less so, imo. peace

You might say that the Rolling Stones are stuck in time. There is some truth in that. With Mick Taylor you get this feeling even more. If the late 60s bluesrock scene is your cup of tea then that is fine. I guess...
