I get the impression that he'd go for it in a big way -- or would have gone for it at one time.
There were tours way back when the band essentially was a power trio, just LB & Mick & John ripping it up. Christine's instrumental contribution is more about texture (particularly in the rhythm) than actual keyboard attention-getting. Take "I'm So Afraid," for example. I don't know why the power trio couldn't rumble through that song live without the keyboard part, which is just some chords on the B3. Doing that song with the three men wouldn't sound hugely different from the way it has always sounded ... maybe a little less full if the B3 isn't there, but still similar & certainly recognizable.
