Best - 1972 / Best I attended - 89 - just blew me away, I expected 81 part two. It was just so much better - better than I could have ever dreamed. Worst - 81 - didn't like the guitar tone, garbled vocals, increased tempo - although I did like the set list.

doesn't really have to be a mutually exclusive situation. You can wish and hope for more Mick Taylor without hurling a single insult at the great Ronnie Wood.

78 in New Orleans was certainly a life changer for me. I could not believe I was face to face with the Rolling Stones. What a tour!!

QuoteMCDDTLC Kleer - Like i said, I was impressed with the current Stones show, now if they include Taylor in more songs - all the better MLC Seems like a reasonable comment - more Taylor will only make the show better - it doesn't have to be an us vs. them situation.

Agree with the above post - I am predisposed to like all things Mick Taylor. However, if BV comes away from the club show and describes Taylor's performance as sub par - I would have to reconsider my position.

Quotebv Mick Taylor was waving the four Stones forward, while Keith and the rest of the band said Mick you are part of us, come up and take the final bow with us. The result can be as seen in the new picture on the home page of IORR.com now... A very nice gesture by the band.

No one needs anyone finishing their sentences - finish your own damn sentence. Two guitarists playing the same part of a song is - by definition - redundant. In their 69 - 74 hey day the differences between the styles of Richards and Taylor created the interest. To have two Keith Richards in the band is - again - redundant.

Someone earlier said there had to be some backstage politics we are not aware of. That has to be the case. It does seem like a wasted opportunity not to have Taylor more involved. If it were up to me - and it is NOT - he'd be there for everything. I cannot get of enough of the former Rolling Stone. At least, he should be included on a mini set from Exile - that'd be wonderful.

Jagger and company may be greedy, but they are not idiots. They have to be concerned about the lack of sales. Money they have - playing to empty seats - not good for super sized egos. I'm hoping they can pull it off and the buildings are full - a sold out crowd makes for a better show.

Just before showtime no one will care what the person next to them paid for a ticket. It's the Stones' - yes, they overpriced the tickets by a mile - but there's nothing like them and when they are gone, they cannot be replaced.

How many times can it be said - way to large a percentage of $600 tickets - that should be the price for the pit and the pit ONLY. To pay that to sit in the rear of the arena - insane strategy. I still cannot see them playing to empty seats - that's a terrible way for this mini tour to begin. I paid $600 for my tickets, but I'd rather them give tickets away than see empty seats.

No reason for Ronnie to sit out. He's adept at a deferential role - he appears to be a great team player with a wonderful attitude.

Quotebv The Mick Taylor solo on Midnigh Rambler paralyzed me, I did not expect it to be that strong. He added something extra which we have been missing since he left, something that is unique to Mick Taylor, his style and his playing. Yet, Ronnie had a great and extended solo which stood out like no others, so I need them both. The part about adding something extra is how most fans of the Ta

Taylor's inclusion pushed me over the edge for a pair of $600 tickets - seen the other lineup 19 times. But to see Taylor, Woody and Keef - still a ton of money, but it is history.

QuoteMax'sKansasCity Quote24FPS This could get interesting. Empty seats? How will that be reported? Rolling Stone magazine would have jumped on that in the past, but are now so buddy buddy with Mick that they'd probably ignore it.

Yes, coming back to Pensacola from West Palm Beach the day of the second Stones' show in Orlando in 1981 - we drove right by the stadium filled to capacity. We were there for the first show, but my buddy had to get back to work - we had to skip the second one. To see that stadium filled - oh man, I wanted to dump him on the side of the road. Ah for the days of $21 tickets and filled to capacit

There are far too many great Rolling Stones' songs for them to bother with covers. Speaking of Rip This Joint - I'll take that over any possible cover they would consider.
