If so, this was truly a historic occasion, since Mick is the only band member who has been in the band from the very beginning and has played every gig.

I don't think it's ever happened before in concert. Didn't it happen to John once when Rocky Burnette filled in for him due to illness? Was that on the
Tusk tour?
Thinking off the top of my head, there have been occasions when Mick didn't play drums on FM records. I seem to recall that Lindsey said Mick (and John) "weren't really on"
Without you. Then there's probably the odd track on
Tusk and maybe even
TITN on which Lindsey did everything. Going further back S P Leary played drums on some tracks on the
Blues Jam at Chess Album including
World's in a tangle. Technically, although FM got top billing, I think that album was credited to
Various Artists (it is on the verson I've got, anyway) so maybe that doesn't count.
