” Give it up- because to be sure in all those bucks are loop tape tracks. The time keeper? Chuck Leavell-— the beat counter comes on the stage monitors to match the playback augment. That’s one.”
It’s important to note that your contention is that the Stones do not actually PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS in their concerts.
That it’s all taped.
“No where the talent of any number of fine American musicians.”
And, their talent is questionable, with many American musicians eclipsing them.
I just want to summarize for posterity and review by the rest of the board here. Because those of us who have seen them live KNOW it’s not taped music and wonder how somebody like yourself could be so delusional.
They must have had somebody else play the instruments on their latest 2018 Grammy album...

Yeah, a bunch of fakers...
You know Chuck?
Informed opinion- and you are of course entitled to yours. There is such a thing as “long time gone”—which is imho, now. But, for grunts— who plays the intro on the original “Honky Tonk Women” (no, it’s not keith)?
Chuck came from the Allman Brothers (signed on, no longer guesting- the night after we heard him in Macon in ‘82)-an outstanding player, who still has something to say and play. Did you know Tony Joe White played shows right up until he died of a heart attack, a few miles from here— all his life a player, and no “posing”. American music, not import.
Here’s a contemporary great writer/performer, whom a colleague of mine treats (ENT- for singers)— a great writer/player(went on several iteration tours after Robert Plant intelligently refused the “reunion” Led Zeppelin,collaborated with Allison Krauss, was in Plant’s Band of Joy) and see in town when possible:
Darrell Scott- writer playing his “Long Time Gone”, solo— no tape:
