The solo is down to a few notes over four bars or so. As an end to the main set it is shocking how little energy the performance has, as if they just wanted to get it over with. I haven't seen any really good and inspired performance of STFD

Quotedrbryant In all seriousness, though, I've always found it odd that people who can get so much enjoyment from repeated listenings to the same albums at home seem uninterested in hearing those same songs played live more than once. In all seriousness, album "setlists" can't be changed, but live setlists are not engraved in stone...at least that's how it should be.

Their "one last great album" was Tattoo You - it's the Stones' "Let It Be" - recorded mainly around/before Some Girls ("Abbey Road" in the Beatles' case), but finished and released afterwards. Everything ever since were "one too many". Still some nice songs on them, but no more classics. Repetitions of a winning formula. As a standalone, the Some Girl

Quotemarianna The problem is the weavers no longer weave. Ron Wood isn't playing too badly, but Keith is all over the place. Charlie's skills seem to have diminished, too, and I'm not sure that's related to the guitars or not. I've heard clips of Charlie sitting in with bands besides the Stones in the past few years, such as jazz outfits, and he doesn't sound too good on them. He was a solid time

QuoteVT22 Quotekleermaker [ I don't think it's a matter of practising scales, however useful that might be. Of course he can do better, but then again MR is not the most suited song for fluid, beautiful lines, Taylor's brand. So we can judge that only if he plays on more regular songs instead of on a long jam-like song like MR is nowadays played (not so much a choice of Taylor I guess, but a

I think one should understand that Taylor being back has nothing to do with music or any artistic gains. He is just used for selling tickets, for making older, retired fans part with their money once again. Huge money, that is. This may sound harsh, but it's the truth. At this point in time, it's all about business.
