I still think Bill is amazing throughout Start Me Up and changes things around. Bill is one of the few bass players where I can be driving and just listen to the bass in a song to see what it does. I can also do that with some of the brilliant bassists in the disco era.

There was a Bobby Keys story lately of how him and Keith were in the Caribbean hanging out, listening to old Stones music and they both were marveling at how great a bass player Bill was. Maybe it took some distance. Maybe it took realizing what their sound lost when he retired.

Totally agree! (And I really miss that smooth, gentle-but-hard, oily guitar sound from the studio recording. This song never sounded as good live as the studio version.)
Robbie Shakespeare on Undercover.
Well, we know that's not going to happen. He doesn't want that, and they don't either. They only replaced his position, not his presence. It's a shame they can't get together and maybe create one more song as the real Rolling Stones. I'm just sad that we're running out of product with Bill on it. Ever since so much became available in the last few years, I haven't cracked open 4 Flicks or a Bigger Bang. And maybe it's not just Bill's absence. He said they were just going to repeat themselves and he was right.
They had a few more good years on stage Post-Wyman, especially the No Security Tour, but that was it, and it's been a downhill glide instrumentally since then. They have a very successful nostalgia career now. I saw them in 2013 in Los Angeles, and that was enough for me. The thrill is gone....

Great work of his on the complete Some Girls album.
First time he could be distinctively heard on record too, imo...

Bill's bass on Start Me Up is just as important as Keith's riff.

His bassline has a similar function in the song as Ronnie Lane's playing on Stay With Me, imo. Both are brilliant.

Listen to Bill's bass on Waiting For A Friend, the ascending riffs during the sax solos (from 2:07 and 3:49) that underscore the soulful feeling of the track. Those riffs are as integral to defining the mood of the song as any of the other instruments and as any guitar solo would be to other songs.

Star Star during the 78 tour, Wyman increased his playing volume during the song to become much more prominent, making the song so great live.
A great example of Bill live, especially during Star Star, starting around the 12:30 mark. Really this entire concert has some real Bill Wyman highs.

Someone had mentioned Bill playing but it was
Ronnie that played bass on the Emotional Rescue song,
And Taylor played bass on Fingerprint File. (ronnie played it live '75-76)
Bill did play bass on the Miss You track, embellished it further
than what Billy Preston probably was playing via his keyboard bass lines.
Steel Wheels has lots of Bill Wyman tastefully placed bass lines.
They lost a wee bit of the classic Stones swing when Bill left.
Darryl has gotten much better fitting in since the Voodoo.
I do miss Bill with the gang. Cheers!

And 77-year-old Bill looks in better physical shape than 52-year-old Darryl Jones.

Just listening to Hey Negrita from Knebworth. Bill's playing is really cool and funky on this.

Sad that Keith (or Mick) has never really acknowledged, or even realised, how important he was to the band.

When the Brussels live release came out , Keith was interviewed and after being asked what stood out for him remarked how he realized how good Bill's playing was...better late than never!!

I always forget all the times Keith played bass in the studio. I think Keith was the driving musical force up until the Undercover era. Probably Bill's greatest riffs were from the 60s. Under My Thumb may have been his greatest moment. You have their classic 60s sound on that one, with Keith on guitar and Brian as the utility player.
