Hij was daar ook in 1979 ongeveer. Speelde geweldig van 23 uur tot 2 uur non-stop. Thuiskomen naar Den Haag lukte niet meer. Stond naast de zijdeur voordat het concert begon. De brievenbus klapperde. Let us in we are the j winterband! Ik geloofde ze niet natuurlijk. Stonden later wel op het podium. Liften naar huis. Om 6 uur in Sassenheim twee koffie voor 69 cent. Mooie herinnering

Damn Mick , loved that you went into All Along A Watchtower. Since you actually jammed with Jimi you are the perfect person to do that!!!!

ill never forgive him for his work on Winter, Moonlight Mile, yknow...

Can you beat Mick? No, dont think so. why would ya? whats it to ya? Glad to've found this.

He's still great. First solo lp classic. Leather Jacket, a big F. U. to MJ

In response to 51inAnotherLand5, Thank you and well said! If anyone can play like Mick T then you can dig in him about his weight if not then close your mouth and open your ears.

AWESOME Mick! BTW how come so many brainless jerks here going to WEIGH Mick Taylor? Are you totally DEAF, guys?! Use your ears, not a tape-line nor bathroom scales!

Ron Wood can't carry his case; '71 Stones were a great R&R band, maybe the best!

EPICO

incredibile Mick, grandissimo talento

I sure miss playing with The Rolling Stones ! A 'calm' and yet strong part of the band's history ! His initals are my shoulder !

I'm pleased to see that Mick Taylor has aged so well. Better than I have, ferinstance.

@Lafforte What are you talking about? Search for "mick taylor red house" from Stranger in this Town and tell me if you still think he is "close to pathetic".

blind willie is my favorite bluesman of all time even more so than robert johnson or skip james they all paved the way for the best music ever mick does a great job dont understand those who are dissing him

I saw him maybe 10 years ago. He never switched guitars or tuning. He played with a slide a third of the time, without a slide a third of the time, and spent the other third looking through his pockets or the slide . He was great.

I need some explaination, Does he (fcking play) with a bottleneck on a guitar in standart tunning or Chordtunning ( like a G,E or whatever) ??

Like this a lot! Blind Willie was a phenom, and it was great that Dylan wrote a song about him. And MT's interpretation is great. How can anybody not appreciate this, I have no idea. Thanks for posting it!

@camulsmoke Yeah, come on man, this is the stuff ! Great voice, sweet guitar, nice approach. What's the matter with you?

Mick Taylor can sing. And this clip might just be the best of his playing I've seen in some time. Nice blending of all those songs too. And he's playing with more feeling than I've seen from him in a while. Still, he's a tragic figure one can't help but think of his time with the stones and what might have been.

Awesome !! thanks for posting

On other MT performances in recent years, I kind of thought he lost something, but I really like his playing here. He has the old fire back.

It's blowing me away how many people won't shut the fuck up and listen to this guy. Where is this? What is he doing for fucking gigs now???? Is he playing this at a hotel lobby or something?

I believe he's also played it with Dylan.

@bluesandmore , 'Brianless'?!

This is great!

Man, the guy is absoultely brilliant! The best musician that Rolling Stones ever had. Shame he is not with them any more, they evidently gone crappy after he left. Not the greatest singer but he's got the blues. Btw, the only Stone that grew fat as well! Cheers Mick!

So much awesomeness.. I saw him a year ago. but he only performed one song to support Bill Wyman..

@000Jerusalem watch?v=f2KoIWEAdaM

@loserswin783 Because he is the greatest songwriter - unless you're into that Burt Bacharach thing. I saw a tv prog on him, and found it predictable that all the celebrities enthusiastically commenting on him never mentioned Dylan. Different brain wiring. As for Dylan's playing, this anecdote from Leo Kottke is informative even when, as a Brit, you miss a few of those gobbled American words all trapped in the front of the mouth.

Less is more Mick: watch?v=-PFQUt-vnQA&feature=related Dylan on Knopfler in Slow Train Coming: 'He doesn't step all over it with fancy licks'. Mick is playing a 'souped-up' concert version here. Indeed hearing his solos on I&I, Real Live '84, my mother muttered, 'souped-up versions'.

If Dylan can get away with not being able to sing, why the **** shouldn't I get up and have a go? At least I can PLAY the guitar.

I&I in evolution: I like MT on I&I, Newcastle UK 1984. (It could appear that for the Hamburg one he had gone out to take a leak). But I think JJ Jackson whipped his ass in the '93 arrangement, 2 of which are on youtube, tho not not quite as 'orgasmic' as Paris '93 (tape I have). This just leaves unsettled: do the late 90s arrangement(s) with Larry Campbell and, sometimes, Charlie Sexton whip JJ's ass? Incidentally, B7aug5 IS JJ Jackson but only in the bd-on-Rimbaud sense: 'I is another'.

Looks like someone had second thoughts about CENSORING my comments; maybe B7aug5 put in a good word for me.

@000Jerusalem What are you trying to imply? that he DIDN'T know? If you really think that, you are seriously mistaken. I'm trying to be nice, here. You are obviously not a musician, or not a serious one, anyway. Every guitarist knows that to be a FACT. This has NOTHING to do with opinions, so try to keep yourself from looking stupid in the future.

Why is Taylor ripping off a Dylan riff? Simple: because the musicians Dylan hires create his riffs for him. So, nothwithstanding Knopfler's co-presence on the Infidels sessions, Mick probably created the Blind Willie (& some other Infidels) riffs/licks etc. in the first place. But Mick cannot sing the blues like Dylan. So how about Blind Willie?

An ingenuous comment: it could only be disingenuous if the poster knew it was incorrect.

not an accurate statement. He has his own system. Chuck Berry NEVER played any open tunings. Keith does tend to play Chuck-ish leads, but to say he never got past that is a bit disingenuous, to say the least.

Hey there people (some of you), this is not about 12Trucks, 15 Sound/Stage engineers, V.I.P.Lounge, Brass-section , 6 background-Voices, two pianos and so on...........this is about MICK TAYLOR - playing his guitar right in front of you

A three fingered genius on top of everything¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Exactly. Some of my favorite Great Classic Keith riffs that no one else could ever have created: Monkey Man Midnight Rambler Can't you hear me Knockin' Slave Tumbling Dice Brown Sugar You hear the riff, you know the song, instantly. He is one of a kind, really....~

B7aug5 - I agree 101 %. I finally got hold of the RS Brussels Affair bootleg from '73 (so called fixed version) and I have listened it almost constantly for two months now. The level of band integration at that stage of the tour is just out of this world. KR has always been exceptional in how he constantly keeps varying his riffs. MT solos stay connected to what the rest of the band is doing. And the rest of the band is doing something interesting all along, even when playing in 'background'.

Mick J and Keith screwed their band when they refused to give Taylor credit for Sway, Dead Flowers and a few others which he ruely helped writing, to say the least. The only replacement would have been EC, alas..

iblind willies gravestone says that his name was eddie mctier thats why i call him eddie beautiful musician compare his soulful style tothis

this noise has notjhing comparable to the perfect tones of eddie

MT took back that statement, in later years. He was, no doubt, pissed at the time he said it. KR is not among the best guitarists in the world, but IMHO, is one of the best RIFFERs in the world. He's like a Chuck Berry or Elmore James regarding "his" riff. You can't even play an open tune rock song without sounding like him. MT's best stuff was with the Stones, too. So, it is the synergy, not the individual. Beatles are proof that the whole is worth more than the sum of the parts.

well this wasnt really a cliché back in 83 or what? and yes, django was a genius, indeed!

MT could play beautiful lead guitar but could he write a COMPLETE song? If he could then why has he not had a great solo album? Mick ad Kieth wrote the songs He played fantasticilly WITH them. Saw him live in Vancouver and he still plays great but he can't write! Neither can I! No shame some people have it some people don't. Comparing MT with KIeth is like apples and oranges. Two different kinds of playes who together for a time were great.

Mick Taylor is awesome. The Rolling Stones with Mick were awesome. The Rolling Stones with Bryan Jones were awesome. After that they began to suck.

So much feeling. I never knew how good he was till I saw him live.

Got he reminds of Rick Danko at the later stages of Danko's life. His vocals sound so similar to Danko too - eerie.
