Mick and Keith really hold grudges forever. Couldn't they have just given the fans what they wanted and have him and Mick Taylor on for more than a total of 13 minutes each. I understand it would be a little disrespectful to Darryl but come on, it's the 50th show. The biggest disappointment of the shows was that they were on for so few songs. It would have been nice especially to hear Bill play the bass line that he came up with on Miss You or Emotional Rescue or 19th Nervous Breakdown, even Paint it Black.

I wish wed seen more of Mick T and Bill then we did.  But, on the other hand, we did get to see them back with The Stones, and it was great!

So I wonder if they had had Bill play the whole show if he would have done the US shows.

Where was the rehearsal footage that was supposed to be in Crossfire Hurricane?

yeah, I think they just figured there was too much and concentrated on 1964-81 exclusively.

The rehearsals that were filmed though were the ones in NY/NJ in May 2012 - ie, without Bill. Don Was played bass at that session.  The three day session they did in London in December 2011 with Bill (and with Ben Waters on piano) wasnt filmed at all, though. It was so low key that they didnt even bother calling in most of their regular crew and technicians as it wasnt deemed important enough to fly them to London. That extended to the US-based side musicians like Leavell, Jones, etc.
