Quotes083874 " If they used him on more songs, it would become normal and no one would see the tour as Mick Taylor and the Rolling Stones" Except Mick. I also get the impression that the band is doing this tour for fun and the love of their ability to still play music and turn on their fans. MJ? Not so much. Then why would Mick Jagger bring Mick Taylor on tour?! Unless you use him co

QuoteLookoutMountain QuoteRollingFreak I do think this is a great tour, and I love all of the Stones. But if we want to look at the tour realistically, they are missing a huge opportunity for Taylor, which Jagger instigating and is then stabbing himself in the back with. He went out of his way to bring Taylor back, probably with the intention of limiting him and satisfying some. However, now we

Quotegotdablouse What's a bit annoying is that once they hit "D&G" then you know exactly what they're going to play (well Keith does alternate between Happy/Silver/BTMMR)...ONE little change in that FOURTEEN song run would be a nice gesture for the diehards I think! True, although thats mainly for us that watch setlists every night. Sure we're in an era where thats expected, but the

QuoteShawn20 There is no excuse for NOT playing CYHMK - none. It is one of their deep classic cuts - they have all the key ingredients (Taylor) in place. I would trade Doom and Gloom, One More Shot and a few of the others for Rip This Joint, All Down the Line and the fabulous Monkey Man. Yup. And Can't You Hear Me Knocking is actually a guest appearance that makes sense for Taylor. That and Sway

Also, I was wrong. It was played at the second Toronto show. I forgot the shows were just spread out. Which means it was played night 2 in Toronto and Chicago, and Night 3 or 4 of LA (most likely to add something new to an area that got a lot of shows). Now more than ever, I think Philly 2 will get it especially because Boston 2 didn't.

QuoteLookoutMountain Quotewinter Of course the thread needs to remain up top. There are 6 shows left, including 2 where Taylor began his career with them. A token appearance during Satisfaction and a nightly Rambler may equal 16+ minutes on stage, but it's not an effective use of the guitarist they're bringing on the road with them. Is it greedy? Not at all. Give the man something that can showca

I'm certainly hoping it comes out at Philly 2. Hasn't been played since the beginning of June, and came out at those shows not on the first not of stands (with the exception of Canada). I've gotten my hopes raised a bit because it wasn't played in Boston and I'd really be surprised if it doesn't come one more time in the US. I'm thinking Philly 2 or Washington, but if they wanted to surprise peop

Mick did it excellently on SNL with the Foos last year. He definitely could still do it. I'd assume Ronnie could as well. Charlie and Keith would be the only maybes for me but I think it would be great, and as one of my favorite songs by them I'd love to see it. However, I'd want the straight rock version as opposed to the blues-ish one.

QuoteKatieGirl QuoteRoughJusticeOnYa Quoteproudmary I don't agree,hbwriter. there are plenty and plenty people who love Mick , it's just people who love KR do it more aggressively, with the push like they want to prove something. I think these different approaches depend on the personality of the "object of love" himself ...Awerightie!! "Blame Keith", round gazillion.

I love Ronnie, and I consider him a Rolling Stone, but when he says something like that he sounds as dumb as Chuck if he were to say that. When bands say something like that, they end up sounding really desperate, when the Stones shouldn't feel that way. They don't play as great as they used, but this tour has been great and they have nothing they should try to "sell". And no, the St

Quotedcfan1 So...the $85s have been on sale for 4 1/2 hours and still not sold out. What does this tell us? Looks like the entire high price strategy was a disaster that left a lot of people put off. The show must be way, way undersold. Any other thoughts? Yeah. My thought is I hope Philly is the same way and I have a better shot at seats other than the nosebleeds.

That is very cool. I'd love to be there for that. However, if I were to be there, I'd hope for something other than Going Down. Nothing wrong with it and it rocked at the Pay Per View, but I'd prefer a Stones original that Gary could tear up.

Quote24FPS It was hard to tell from that if there will be a DVD with it. It said television performances so I would assume so. I've grown to really like their a capella work. Isn't it strange after all this time that the Stones have never (as far as I know) officially released an alternate take of a song. You could argue that they thought they released the best version, so why monkey with it, but

Quoteronkeith72 Wolfie would be great for one night but what about Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars? Not that I don't think Joe Perry and Brad Whitford would be bad guests, but I doubt they'd have both. Brad should be the one there since he's the Mick Taylor of Aerosmith, but Joe is the bigger name and it would be him. So it would be Joe Perry and Keith Richards on the same stage, two guita

He would be great. Only problem is he makes Jagger look old, and from a person that is also old. Sure, Mick looks old next to someone like Taylor Swift. However, when he's up there with one of his contemporaries and they are "out-Jaggering" him, seems less likely they'd bring him along. However, Peter Wolf is excellent (no Mick Jagger, but still great) and he definitely still has it.

The obvious choice would be Sway. If You Can't Rock Me would be my second choice, because I like that song and it hasn't been played yet. However, and its not a knock to them, but the Stones don't really play it that great these days. Mick is really good, but thats about it. There isn't the energy I love about it on the studio version. So for that reasoning, I think Sway is the best of all option

Was listening to the Stones while in the car with my friends, and one of them who's a drummer asked me to turn it up so he could listen to the drumming.

No. But he should throw the rose pedals into the audience again, and the band in general should start closing with Street Fighting Man again. They aren't too old for that, and thats such a great energetic gimmick that Mick had that really pumps the audience up.

I'm not sure. My absolute guess would be the people that aren't friends (like Tom or Fogerty) have the Stones' agent ask the artist's agent and they set something up. Probably ask if the artist would like to do it, and then when they say yes, the Stones' agent plans in coordination with the artist's agent what is a convient stop for them to show up at (ie. if Taylor Swift has a show close to Chic
