It's official. We've pretty much known, but nothing official had been said, but it's now confirmed that Wyman and Taylor will be guests at the O2 shows.
Now I'm really getting excited about these shows. I only hope Little Mick and Bill show up in Newark also!!!! I leave for Newark in 21 days!
I wouldn't hold out for Bill. One of the reasons he quit the band (among other things) was that he developed an extreme fear of flying in the 80's. Not sure what happened to cause that. He's only come to the US once with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, and that was 11 years ago. I think he still flies from time to time if necessary. I guess it just depends on how necessary he feels his presence in Newark/Brooklyn is. Or maybe he can catch a boat. I'll steal a boat and go pick him up myself if he'll score me some tickets.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
When he came to the states with the Rhythm Kings, he took a cruise ship over. I think Mick t has a better chance of showing up, but there is a large enough gap between shows for Billy to cruise over.
There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.
Rumor is that Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton are going to be at the 02 shows. I say rumor, the thread on IORR says it was in the paper and official, but they didn't link to the article or anything, so I can't be sure. I can definitely see Jeff Beck being there, as he performed with Jagger on SNL recently.
Speaking of Clapton, how awesome would the "Eric Clapton And His Rolling Stones" bootleg from the MSG show on the 75 tour had been as one of the archive series?
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
Mick Taylor is playing with the Stones as we speak. Bill was on stage for a couple of numbers earlier.

I just wish Bill and Mick had been on the stage at the same time at one point. Having them come back is great, but to actually have the complete '69-'74 lineup on stage would have been epic. I bet they do it for an encore or something Thursday, that is if Mick and Bill aren't making the U.S. trip.
Here's about 30 sec of Midnight Rambler from last night. Looking for a whole version. Can't wait for an official release of this.
Just got an email from a good friend of mine with direct ties to Taylor's management. I'm told he WILL be in Newark....this trip just got a lot better!!!
There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.
The clips look outstanding. I read an interview with Chuck Leavell where he said more shows are likely assuming they feel good and healthy after these shows. I think Charlie is the issue, he hates touring and is the oldest. But, they will probably do a series of residencies next year before they hang 'em up for good.

the only issue is Keith and his health/ability to get insured. Charlie has hated touring since 1989 but has always said that he will not be the one to put an end to it.

I don't know all that much about Charlie off-stage, but he seems like a pretty active a fit man for his age. If he's not touring with the Stones he's touring with his Boogie Woogie band thing. I think it's like voodoopug said, Keith is and has been the wild card. Especially since he fell out of that coconut tree. But aside from that, his hands just look so arthritic that I'm amazed he plays at all. They might look worse than they actually are, because he's still pretty decent with a guitar.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Mick T news about him playing at the Newark shows is true! I never thought I'd have the chance to see Taylor back on stage with them.
I could do without the other guest spots. Jeff Beck's playing annoys the hell out of me, especially his desire to be so far forward in the mix. These shows should just have Taylor and Wyman guesting with Lisa Fischer handling Gimme Shelter (I'd also be happy with Merry Clayton).

I think Mick is confirmed for the rest of the shows. At least there's a topic over at IORR that says he is, I hadn't looked too deeply into it or checked the sources. It seems to be considered fact over there from what I've read. I hope he is, for your sake, and I'd love to see him on the PPV event. Plus there's so many songs he needs to play. Midnight Rambler, while a great showcase of his skills in the past, is not on my short list of song I would have liked to see him play on. Can't You Hear Me Knocking would be great, it doesn't sound the same with Ronnie playing. Sway, 100 Years Ago, Dance Little Sister, or even Heartbreaker (the Brussels Affair arrangement) would be great as well.
I heard Mary J. Blige did great on Gimme Shelter. I've never been all that attached to Lisa, so I don't really mind. I'm not sure how Florence Welch (also rumored to be singing on Gimme Shelter) is going to do, she just doesn't have the right voice for it in my opinion. Merry Clayton would be great, but does she still perform? Doing a little looking, I don't see her having done anything at all since 1994.

A little disappointed that they had Bill and Mick play on the same songs as the last show. They should have had Taylor play on Live With Me, that version he plays on Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is amazing.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
Hey SF have you seen any boot for the first show yet I've checked all over and still haven't seen one.
I haven't seen any. I've seen over on IORR there's a DVD somebody put up to download, but it's just a compilation of YouTube videos from the show, and put in order.
I'm sure there will be an official release of these shows soon. I would imagine they'll probably do a DVD box set (like Four Flicks or The Biggest Bang) for all the 50th Anniversary shows, or at the very least put them up to download.

Never thought I would ever see Taylor and Richards on the same stage ever again.
KOOL!!!
My favorite Stones era is with Mick T.
Can hardly wait to see it.

By the way, The Stones were fined £200,000 for their late start/finish at the O2. I'm sure they can cover it.
Nice to see Mick T ther.
Yea, i read about the fine. I also read that the curfew was 10:30. WOW!! That's RIDICULOUS!! Was ther an opening band?
