From 68 until 76, the Stones live sound was mainly characterized by Keith's fat chord riffing with Taylor first, then Wood, playing leads on top. If you listen closely, Bill made a hell of a job also in those days, but it was not so prominent.
Starting from 78 the way the band played changed radically. More of a jazz approach. The guitars were more focused on giving accents rather than creating a wall of sound. The result was that Bill & Charlie were right there in your face.
By 81 Bill & Charlie took great advantage of the space they had, and adapted theyr style to the circumstances.
What a rythm section!
