I used to think the same, but I've seen the Stones 28 times. Once with Mick T on Midnight Rambler as a guest. Yes it was good. But no better than Ronnie, just different.

Ronnie Wood sucks

They were the most exciting with Brian.

dream on. will never happen

@@vincenzostr4488no, he’s not as fluid as MT is, but he can play🎸

im afraid the STONES just werent good enough to keep hold of a player like TAYLOR'

So did I when he left Mayan and joined Stones , and same when he left Stones

Could it be that Jagger didn't like Taylor stealing the Limelight. Keith Richards did pretty good though love that guy. Saw Taylor in a seedy little bar in Arizona early 80s best show cuz the bar was empty.

@@sandecoffey9125 I read that Taylor had developed a serious drug problem after a few years with Keith and the rest. And I'm pretty sure he wasn't getting paid the same as the original members. Probably still a good gig but maybe kind of insulting after a while. So for his own sake he needed to get out of there. The Stones gig gave him more fame than his career had up to that point but it became destructive for him personally. Too bad, Sticky Fingers is a high point for them. But Jimmy Miller the producer of that album was another one who became a party animal around the time of working with the Stones and he wound up self-destructing. So everyone can look at it all as they want. Ideally if Mick Taylor could gave stayed with them for a few more years then their sound would gave been that much stronger musically. But at least he's lived a long life and is still around to talk about it. The same can't be said for Brian Jones or Jimmy Miller.

​@@yardbirdmackay Love Taylor but i think he was lucky to joint the Stones and not the reverse.

Yea

Ronnie Wood sucks

Wayne Perkins.....

Keith Richard's said Mick Taylor was to good to be with the Stones

I agree. Guess he was just too quiet, and I read that he was not liking the whole scene. I thought he was as good if not better than kieth.

That is why he did not receive royalties from Nanker and Phelge

@@josephdegennaro6819 drugs were going to kill him

Not as under appreciated as Albert King...

I’m new to Mick, what are his best slow blues tunes 🤔

@@jeffmurphy101 His live version of “Love In Vain” w/Stones is one of them.

@@jeffmurphy101 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a69ii6WIv82Zhn0.html without question.....his best slow blues and overall blues is solo....not with the Stones.....this album is a fantastic lost gem and more people need to realize how great it is....

His live version of "Have You Ever Loved a Women" with John Mayall. 🙂

maby danny kirwan

YES Mick Taylor !!

Albert King is not one of best blues player he’s one of the best guitarist ever period

@@kellyharris4542 I'm inclined to agree-one of the baddest! Saw him tear it up in a small club once and it was a DNA changing experience. Will treasure that forever.

Hey and thts john Mayhall on harp

I did not recognize him. But now I can se and hear it's him. Been so long.

We can thank John Mayall for introducing us to Mick Taylor. For those unfamiliar check Mayall’s Blues From Laurel Canyon album!

And the diary of a band Audio sucks but some great taylor solos ​@@rickyschultz5434

This is true, I saw them on the Exile on Main Street tour with Stevie Wonder as opener. Mick was brilliant. They also had Bobby Keys on sax and Nicky Hopkins on keyboards

price of that ticket you ask ? ............. hows about $6.50 US

No....it was Keef and Mick....Taylor got to be there and play leads to their songs.....the Stones continued to thrive and be great with Woody....Taylor is a million times better solo and guesting like this....love it...

@68’ Rumble Bee Perhaps, but Taylor was a better guitarist.

@David John the records and tours after Taylor left with Woody are phenomenal....Woody fit the band like a glove....the chemistry....cohesion.....camaraderie....and showmanship has been so much better with Woody in the band....they don't need a virtuoso who stands there an entire show and other than his fingers doesn't move or twitch a muscle an entire show.....the guitar weaving between Woody and Keef is unparalleled....legendary....Woody is certainly a better song writer and his solo albums are the best of all of the Stones....including the 2 in 45 years that Taylor put out....( of course Taylor has some great live albums....I own all of his releases and saw him 3 times playing wailing blues in small clubs ) Woody is great on boogie rockers....funk and reggae....slide blues....pedal steel......with that being said....Taylor was a much better lead guitarist ( actually better than most ) and he played some great leads to Jagger and Richard's songs....also it's not even a discussion what a massive step up Taylor was from the burnt out acid head Brian Jones ....

Ron Wood cannot beat Mick Taylor, yes, only in one way: Ron Wood did not get fat.

@@GabrieleMeurer Chubby , not fat & even so he is still the better musician & Ron is no slouch.

You bet he is

i had Mick autograph my arm with a magic marker........he said 'you're kidding !!!!!!!'.

@@tomshaw661 I hope you still have it-the autograph i mean

🤣🤣

​@@tomshaw661 would have been a great tattoo

The Great Mick T. in the ZONE!!

And Taylor was nothing after the Stones.

Most talented for sure

Truth. Albert King was one of a kind. My favorite for almost 50 years now.

Nothing left to say!

Greatness

All LEGENGS,FOR SURE. Walter B.Memphis. TAKE CARE AND STAY WELL AND SAFE!!🎸👍✌🎼💯

Tim Murphy LOL!!! He had that same look during his entire tenure w/ the Stones, too!

That's just Mick bieng Mick.

levine Yeah, Just let's THE GUITAR SPEAK, and It speaks just Beautifully. Walter B.Memphis.

YEAH,TIM,That was HILARIOUS, Ha,ha,,ha,Damn,Oh Man,GREAT,FUNNY,COMMENT. Walter B.Memphis .TAKE CARE AND STAY WELL AND SAFE. 🙂🎸👍🎼💯

@@annbugbee5623 Yes. Too many just try to force it. Ruins the tone.

+Alcides MFJr. He's playing a strat here...

Well, Taylor is playing a Fender Stratocaster..

He is classy

Thing is he’s a completely proper Englishman. I’ve hung with him. He can talk all night but not so much about music. His thing is women.

I saw them in Buffalo, it must have been the same tour. Unbelievable musicians. I remember Mick just leaning back against the speakers playing guitar like I had never heard. He is one of the greats!

@@granthaller9544 True that.

Well if anyone is going to play bass backing them up, they will be compared to Jack Bruce and Ron Wood.

Except Keef played that one.

Mick played the solo. Check you facts. 🤡

@@bb57365 Keef played that legendary solo by Taylor? ...that's one of the funniest things I've heard!

You can even hear some of the same tone and feeling in some of his lines here as Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.

You're right about the strings, but that's a lefty Flying V. The volume and tone knobs are at the bottom. If it was a right-handed guitar, the knobs would be on the top like with Hendrix...

@@billdufour1630 Are you sure that's a V? The headstock doesn't look right, unless it's different for the custom neck/fretboard. I thought it might be a copy from another company, but I couldn't make out the writing on the headstock.

@David-xf5hn It's a V that was made by Dan Erlewine which explains the different headstock. It says "Lucy" on it...

Wow John appeared on harmonica

Absolutely ridiculous that John Mayall was not mentioned in the title of the clip. A shame. Seriously. But thank you for the video.

Yeah ,He goes exactly that. Walter B.Memphis. TAKE CARE AND STAY WELL AND SAFE!!!

@@annbugbee5623 Thank you. I couldn't guess who Walter D. Memphis is.

@@dennismason3740 Yes this is ANN BUGBEE PHONE ,my Mom,l AM WALTER B.HER SON,MUST HAVE MADE A TYPO,CAN'T SEE SO SELL ANYMORE,WITHOUT GLASSES,WHY I TYPE SO BIG,THANK TOU BACK THOUGH,and do STAY WELL AND SAFE. Walter B.Memphis

Yes ! Like Wes Montgomery...

At the twelve minute mark it shows Taylor using a pick.

En I Am The living Pope..

Buddy Guy is still alive.

Unfortunately Mick is no longer with us

@@alancoleman6749 ….Which Mick is no longer with us?

@@FortyNineHudson That's truly funny. Taylor, and quite a few other players, could outplay Guy while wearing boxing gloves.

and "Real Live" w/Dylan

On KZfaq there's a live set of of Mr Zimmermann performing and Mick on lead on All Along The Watchtower. Very nice.

@@billkalivas9750 Yes,IT IS, Walter B.Memphis. 🎸👍💯

And all his work with JohnMayall

They haven’t missed a beat without him

@@terminatorx2545 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Richards knows it Big Time

@@terminatorx2545 Charlie Watts hasn’t missed a beat The rest ………

I'm a HUGE Mick Taylor fan. That said, in 1974, Jagger was jetsetting and Keith's addiction was only getting worse. Taylor quit because he thought the Stones were going to break up and/or Keith would die. Also, Taylor didn't play on the band's most recent single (IORR), Ron Wood did. It was recorded at his estate. Ron Wood comes in and plays intermediary to Jagger and Richards. The break-up doesn't happen. Keith gets off heroin, the band puts out Some Girls... None of that happens without the chemistry Ron Wood brings.

I'm blown away by Albert's singing 🎶 , yeah he's a legend on the electric blues-- never really paid attention to that expressive voice 😮!!

I agree! It has blues, rock and Mick Taylor all in one solo. Keith’s solo is great too, probably his best, But Mick takes it to the next level ,

Where was this show?

@@pesachBtov Chicago 1982

Yes really awasome. I've seen Mick two times in France. First at "Chez Paulette" in a little village bear Nancy. Second at Marseille. Each time it was a wonderful performances.

So did Jimi Hendrix!

@@craigtrexler8156 Jimi Hendrix was a lefty and his strings were right side up on the bridge of his guitar. The only other guitar player who played with the stings upside down on the bridge was Graham Russell with Air Supply and of course Albert King. I know this from one thing and I play the guitar, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Von, Robin Trower, David Johansen all play and sang in a flat key and they tune their guitars down one full step and when you want to learn to play a song by them you have to tune your down a full step in a flat and it was always a pain in the ass retuning my guitar to a flat to listen and figure out how to play songs by these greats. Without a doubt when your brain is wired differently when your hands can play an instrument in what would be anatomically imposable for a normal mortal man like me or you. Around 1982 I met a guy who worked in Sam Ashe who was ambidextrous and could switch sides and play the guitar better than I could play it right side up, amazing stuff. Peace.

@@franktheo2055 Otis Rush Coco Montoya and of course Elizabeth Cotton were lefties who played with reversed strings

@@ramonalujan5889 Yep, it's amazing how the mind is wired and those musicians were so unique and greatly gifted. They gave us so much great music to listen to and we all have had the pressure to them in awe. Peace, Be Well.

@@franktheo2055 was born in 59 but had hippie uncles like older brothers we were very close so jazz from my parents and the blues breakers from my uncle's lol peace
