Fantastic, there's that incredible vibrato that can only be Mick Taylor. Quite an amazing musician and gentleman.
As far as his looks go, who cares? That's real life and it happens to most rock n roll guys and gals.
I'm pleased to see that Mick Taylor has aged so well. Better than I have, ferinstance.
Love ya work Mick, The stones never rocked the same once you left, and your work with Dylan on "Infidels" is beautiful-what a studio band that was. Keep singing my friend. Matt
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'.
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!
Mick Talor's guitar solo is great, its a true journey from New Orleans to New Jerusalem. He once recorded this Dylan song with the Group "Black Cat Bone".
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.
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....~
So much feeling. I never knew how good he was till I saw him live.
Can you beat Mick? No, dont think so. why would ya? whats it to ya? Glad to've found this.
So much awesomeness.. I saw him a year ago. but he only performed one song to support Bill Wyman..
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.
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!!!!
I remember seeing Mick T at the old lone star in nyc...that is where I first heard this song...spent the next day searching the city for a dylan version of it.
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.
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
incredibile Mick, grandissimo talento
Man, it's go to go to a video, where folks actually acknowledge MT the way you guys have. From the first time I heard him as a Bluesbreaker--thinking he was still a teen then, when Mayall would let him stretch out as much as possible--he's never ceased to amaze me with what he comes up with and how it affects anybody who's playing with him.
Sweet slide electric guitar. Nice clip, thank you bluesandmore
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.
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.
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!
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
He's still great. First solo lp classic. Leather Jacket, a big F. U. to MJ
Thank's for posting this great video! You are doing a very good job. Let It Rock!
He was in the Netherlands? shit.. Wish i'd had known that at the time.. Doesn't look like we have a change of seeing him live any time soon... He's fricking awesome...
Sin dudas un grande. Fue el sonido de la mejor epoca de los Stones. Me gustaria saber si vendra a tocar a Buenos Aires.
guitarrista de un talento extraordinario como muy pocos....
My god he has got old looking but then again won`t we all . Genius .
Got he reminds of Rick Danko at the later stages of Danko's life. His vocals sound so similar to Danko too - eerie.
Ssmith - yes and that's All Along the Watchtower right after. KRichards - Taylor can still play!!
and the Stones would really ROCK one night if they ever let him sit-in for one concert!!! MLC
This is great!
Taylor's "H" addiction was in the mid 80's. "THE" reason he left the Stones was the writing credit. Jagger & Richards were shocked, upset and pissed at the time. Because it was just before their 1975 tour of North America. That's why Richards to this day disses MT any chance he gets. Not to mention MT played circles around Keith.
I sure miss playing with The Rolling Stones !
A 'calm' and yet strong part of the band's history !
His initals are my shoulder !
Alright.. i was there at the Heineken Music hall.. He was really good.. but he played 2 songs.. so that is not a real show...
But bospop.. Damn! i can't go then.. So i'm gonna miss Neil Young and Mick taylor.. shame.. shame..
great cover
Mick Taylor didn't leave the Stones because of a drug problem. He left because he got screwed out of royalties and songwriting credits by Glimmer Twins who didn't like to share. Mick Taylor had to leave to retain some self respect.
That's nearly 40 years ago!! He was only about 20 then,what do you expect!
Rockologo, you are too funny. but I hope we look as good when we are his age!
I was just trying to set the record straight. The info flying around here is bogus. Not that anyone really cares...Except for maybe Mick Taylor. The Glimmer Twins made a promise to MT and didn't keep it. I don't blame him a bit. I still think it was the Stones Golden Age! And MT will always be a part of that.
cool great song
I have to agree, Ronedee. The stones totally dissed MT because they could. Ah, but we mustn't disrupt that 'jagger/ richard' songwriting block, right?
Keith the junkie was mostly AWOL for sticky fingers, and the entire GHS album, while MT worked up a lot of those great songs (winter, silver train, sway, moonlight mile etc.) with Jagger.
But the proof is in the playing. Listen to the albums with Mick T, then have a listen to the Woody shit -there's just no comparison. Give us 1 last tour w/MT!
Nothing wrong with being "just" a great guitarist, but I think what Keith meant was that being just that, wasn't enough to build a very worthwhile solo career on. He's right in that respect, IMO. The Stones' appeal has always been a combination of how they presented themselves, the performance, creating a significant sound, no matter in what style they played and above all the songwriting, which is much more than "just" great musicianship.
@camulsmoke Yeah, come on man, this is the stuff ! Great voice, sweet guitar, nice approach. What's the matter with you?
EPICO
a genius.. maybe an unfortunate one but still. i adore this cats english blues.
A three fingered genius on top of everything¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Hey BZ - he doesn't have the wrinkles of Jagger/Richards - can still play a mean guitar!!
MLC
Still think to this day MT's solo on I Don't Know Why is the greatest Rolling Stones guitar solo ever ?
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'.
iblind willies gravestone says that his name was eddie mctier thats why i call him eddie beautiful musician compare his soulful style tothis
Forgot all about that one powmillon. I don't know about the "greatest" but its in the top five at least.
Put your leather jacket on. Oh yeah Mick was great with the boys. This is a nice blues tribute.
I believe he's also played it with Dylan.
bass players right on it!
ill never forgive him for his work on Winter, Moonlight Mile, yknow...
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.
@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".
this noise has notjhing comparable to the perfect tones of eddie
Used to play guitar in the greatest rock and roll band in the world and ended up editor of a poxy guitar magazine. WTF?
Ron Wood can't carry his case; '71 Stones were a great R&R band, maybe the best!
He got the boot because he was better than Keith and Keith resented it. After the fact, Mick Taylor once said that the Stones were incredibly bad musicians and couldn't understand how they could write any hit tune. LOL, but you are all right about his influence on the Stones. They haven't been the same, since he 'left'.
Fleetwood Mac did a similar thing with Bob Welch. I think having no conscience is a prerequisite for success in that business..
Looks like someone had second thoughts about CENSORING my comments; maybe B7aug5 put in a good word for me.
An ingenuous comment: it could only be disingenuous if the poster knew it was incorrect.
I love Mick Taylors playing but tell me he isn't morphing into John Daly
@bluesandmore ,
'Brianless'?!
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) ??
well this wasnt really a cliché back in 83 or what?
and yes, django was a genius, indeed!
He was predestined to be out of the stones. A rolling stone can't be fat. LOL
yep, he kind of resembles elton john¡¡¡¡
@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.
C'mon man, one of the reasons for quitting the Stones was that he had developed a heroin addiction.
Not in the stones though..
No one could replace Brian Jones. But MT was a damn good guitarist. Much better than Ronnie Wood.
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.
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.
let's not trash ronnie. keef and mick may have big egos, but they also want a good sound. ronnie fits in nicely. mick is technically better, sure. that's a no-brainer. but not if he doesn't gel with the boss. end of story.
Taylor never did seem to fit the Stones mold but then again neither did Charlie or Wyman when you think about it. What's wrong with just being a great guitarist? They should have convinced him to stay. I can only imagine the unreleased material sitting on a shelf with Taylor on it. Start Me Up was originally done in the early 70s with Taylor on lead but they shelved it and re-recorded it with Keith and Woody playing some very conservative guitar.
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..
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.
@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.
I am afraid he is a bit too fat for the stones...good musician tough
What the hell is that even supposed to mean? He quit the stones YEARS before he started gaining weight.
Ronnie Wood has always been a crap ! Only recruited for his looking face ...Since he' s in the stone, I think they should have better stop
Forza Mick !
don't know about the other stuff but he can't sing this song, cool playin' but, please, no singing!
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?
