It seems many people are complaining about Mick Taylor's one song appearance. While I would like more songs from him, I appreciate the fact he was invited and I am enjoying this 2013 tour. Who would have thought Mick would ever be on stage with them again? I suggest we all just enjoy what we have right now.

To elaborate: the straitjacket on Taylor is a consequence of Jagger's reluctance to deviate from the setlist generally. There's no animus or grudge toward MT. It's just Jagger being Jagger as he is on every tour. The rarities must be extracted from him like teeth.

I get the vibe from this board and the others (IORR, Shidobee, etc.) that the fans are not really happy with the band right now. Starting with high ticket prices, the lack of Taylor beyond one of their greatest songs, the guest appearances, the safe set lists that abandon everything post Tattoo You, even the college marching bands that opens the show; it's all been beaten into the ground. I've also seen a few mindless posts about "Where is Blondie?" Jesus fucking Christ. Who the hell cares??????????

The only thing I have a complaint about is the setlists. I find it odd that the 40 Licks tour, which was to celebrate their 40th year together, featured many out-of-this-world setlists. The 50 and Counting should have continued that trend, but guess what? I am going to love every safe warhorse when I see them and not complain once. I'm hopeful they will mix up the setlist a little more as the tour continues, but I will enjoy them performing the phone book.

Yeah ,but we don't know the story or what went on, could be Mick T. became a really bad Heroin addict, & that was the only way out for him, remember '74 unlike today Hard Drugs on Stones Tour was common.

We've only had two proper shows so far. In different cities. They'll shake it up more as the tour goes on, Im sure - I'd expect a fair bit of variety where theyre playing multiple nights.

The absence of opening acts for that kind of money is poor form, IMO - but I'm impressed by the fact that theyre playing almost 2 and a half hours and about 23 songs per night. More than I would have imagined.

Last third of the show really needs shaken up, though. Its barely changed in three decades.
