Thanks to our friends at Stonespleasedontstop for the confirmation

http://stonespleasedontstop.blogspot.com.ar/2012/12/mick-taylor-vuelve-cancelar-concierto.html

The promoter has confirmed that the reason for the cancellation (the show had been rescheduled from November 24th due to 'illness') is that Mick will be going on tour with the Stones.

So, it appears the stories were true and that he'll perform at the Brooklyn and Newark concerts.

Excellent. Here's hoping they feature him on some besides/in place of "Midnight Rambler". "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is an obvious pick (I'm assuming Bobby will be in attendence), but naturally we'd all have our own personal picks.
"Winter" and "Time Waits For No One" they'll never do. But "Stop Breaking Down" would be really easy on short notice, and "Dance Little Sister" would be really exciting (ya see, they've got this drummer...).

Boom!

That's Boom Boom Boom to you, pal!

We predicted this.

In a small way, I feel bad for the 2 or 3 dozen fans in Spain that are missing out on his show.

good looking out, Sway.

I don't think anything Stones related has ever made me happier even my first show. Increase the songs and hopefully he'll bring his playing to songs recorded after he left. I'd love to hear some of the great post Taylor tracks with his solos singing through. For the time being PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:

Time Waits for No One
Winter :wow :smilemick

Hey Bill...if the boat leaves tomorrow....

YES!!!!

Yeah, well if Wyman were to hop a boat and make the NY/NJ gigs, he oughta be featured on something other than "It's Only Rock n' Roll" (which he didn't record) or "Honky Tonk Woman" (which originally only had bass on the chorus', which is how how wish they'd play it).

Put him on "Hand of Fate" (those bass crawls are so sinister), or "Summer Romance" (yup, that's him not Woody) or "19th Nervous Breakdown" (zoooooooom-blblblblbum!)

Great that Mick T is on board, and HOF, SR and 19NB would be great for Bill.

Great news!

They did not call him Bill " The Lil' Hands That Could "  Wyman  for Nothing !!!!

" Hit Me Ronnie !!!!! "

I said this elsewhere, but this is looking to be one of the biggest pay per views in rock and roll history, and I'm sure there's to be a blu ray/dvd of this released at some point to celebrate the 50th. Bill can get over his fear of flying to be part of it. He has nothing else to do.  

And to the 11 people in Spain, don't worry - Mick Taylor he'll be back. He too has nothing else to do.

Yeah they won't get to hear the same 7 songs he's been doing for the last twenty years. ::)

That's the way i like him !! great news

Hoping that he will do CYHMK  :keithpunky :keithpunky :keithpunky :keithpunky :keithpunky :keithpunky :keithpunky :keithpunky :keithpunky

:wow

Anyone have anything definitive on MT's participation in any more Stones shows??

I would have thought this mystery would have been cleared up by now.

I was always under the impression that there were several people with some real/tenuous connections to either the Stones camp or the MT camp...

I need to have this resolved ;-0 :'(

Nothing confirmed yet, Paul.

The only thing that seems confirmed is the cancellation by the promoter of his show in Spain on Saturday (apparently because he'll be 'on tour with the Stones') as you can see in this thread and the Brooklyn show one.

It seems likely he'll play but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

I have an extra farm so I went ahead and put it on Taylor to show.
He'll be there

I hope the Spanish promoter refunded all the ticket holders the 8 dollars they each forked over for the show.

Oh , Lil' Buddy   ( Lil' Fiji   ........    You BAD !!!!!!!   )

Amen!! Well done Mick and Keith!
:smilemick

I'm excited to see Taylor join them again.

But not for nothing, but I thought they sound just amazing as usual on Rambler without him on Saturday. In that sense, he wasnt missed.

the rarely played Time Waits For No One from the Palomino 1986 from a tape unearthed only yesterday, complete show on The Traders Den

I'm glad he confirmed, I was regretting that $50 spent on the PPV!!!

I'm psyched that Mick T. will be there, now if Bill would just make the trip. :nooslajaleisk

I am typing this with Joeys penis. Yes MT. Thats all I wanted. Plus the choir on YCAGWYW. Plus just to touch my babies breast.

It would be kind of cool if they brought MT along to the show tonight - it was 38 years ago TODAY that Taylor quit the Stones.

Guitarist Mick Taylor is widely acknowledged as the most technically accomplished musician ever to perform as one of the Rolling Stones. His tenure in the band saw him play on some of their most important albums, but it was relatively short-lived; he quit the band on Dec. 12, 1974, just prior to the band recording ‘Black and Blue.’

Taylor had already been playing with British blues legend John Mayall when the Stones fired Brian Jones due to his drug abuse in June of 1969. Mayall suggested the 20-year-old musician to the group, and he made his live debut with the Rolling Stones at a free Hyde Park show in London, performing in front of 250,000 people.

Taylor went on to record a string of classics with the band, including ‘Let It Bleed,’ ‘Sticky Fingers,’ ‘Exile on Main St.’ and ‘It’s Only Rock and Roll.’ His virtuosic guitar playing brought a very different element to the band, which had previously relied on the rhythmic interplay between Jones and Keith Richards.

“I think he had a big contribution,” Mick Jagger told Rolling Stone in 1995. “He made it very musical. He was a very fluent, melodic player, which we never had, and we don’t have now. Neither Keith nor [Ronnie Wood] plays that kind of style.”

“It was very good for me working with him,” added the singer. “I could sit down with Mick Taylor, and he would play very fluid lines against my vocals. He was exciting, and he was very pretty, and it gave me something to follow, to bang off. Some people think that’s the best version of the band that existed.”

But Taylor was never entirely happy with his participation in the Stones. For one thing he was younger than the rest of the group, and he was keenly aware of the fact that he was not a founding member. On top of that, he was playing far beneath his skill level in the band.

“I just couldn’t believe how bad they sounded,” the guitarist recalled from his first rehearsals with the Stones. “Their timing was awful. They sounded like a typical bunch of guys in a garage — playing out of tune and too loudly. I thought, ‘How is it possible that this band can make hit records?’”

And in typical rock and roll fashion, there were personal and financial issues between Taylor, Jagger and Richards. ”I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn’t the whole reason [I left the band],” Taylor later recalled. “I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce. I never really felt, and I don’t know why, but I never felt I was gonna stay with the Stones forever, even right from the beginning.”

Jagger told Rolling Stone he thought friction between Taylor and Richards was a prime motivator: “He wanted to have a solo career. I think he found it difficult to get on with Keith.”

Taylor admitted in the recent documentary ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ that he had become addicted to heroin while living in the eye of the Rolling Stones maelstrom and decided to leave to try to protect his family from the band’s caustic lifestyle. On Dec. 12, 1974 the band members were at a party in London when the guitarist broke the news to Mick Jagger and walked out. He was replaced by Ronnie Wood.

The guitarist went on to a long, fruitful career, but never again enjoyed the kind of fame or money that the Stones had offered. Press reports later claimed that he was living in near poverty, but Taylor has maintained that he would make the same decision again, regardless. “It doesn’t necessarily follow that because you’re in a successful rock ‘n’ roll band, you’re going to stay in a situation like that and be satisfied,” he observed. “For me it was personally restricting. I’m not saying that it wasn’t fun. It was a helluva lot of fun; it was great. But I had to move on and do something else.”

In another interview on the Rolling Stones’ official website, he was more to the point. “To ask if I regret leaving the Rolling Stones is to ask the wrong question,” he stated. “The hard one to answer is, do I regret joining them?”
