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.
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.
@@williamgreeson8387 He was never truly a part of the band, he auditioned and didn't get the job but did contribute a few parts on the Black and Blue album. Great guitarist though, but not on Mick's level in my opinion
Mick Taylor just might be the most underrated, under appreciated, and unknown guitarist ever! ( not by me ) His work with the Rolling Stones were their best years.
@@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.
@@jeffmurphy101 ruclips.net/video/5I2XBWZg5VI/видео.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....
I've seen this many times but it finally hit me! No one, I mean no one can sit in with Albert King? Albeit the collaboration with Albert and Stevie Ray but that was Stevie's way to honor him. Like Johnny Winter did with Muddy Waters, as paying tribute to his mentor. Mick Taylor's playing on this just contributed so much to Albert's performance is tasteful and brilliant!
I saw John Mayall with Mick Taylor, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie (both taking a break from Fleetwood Mac) in the mid 80’s playing in Green Bay, Wi. Mick was the consummate virtuoso and was nailing Albert King lick for lick (which he played a lot of). Fantastic musicians all!
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!
Mick has been underated for decades. He is a dynamite player and slide man! Saw him live with the Stones in Mobil around 1972. Killer player and slide performance!
Mick Taylor playing is like a perfect gentleman: he mixes class and elegance. His Gibson Les Paul has a fluid and melodic sound. Great Mick Taylor! A Legend!!!
Complete reverence and respect from Mick Taylor here to sir Albert King. Got to give a LOT of credit to John Mayall.The man certainly had an eye for the young and upcoming guitarists on the blues scene. Praised and backed every one to the hilt. Three legends right there.❤
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
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...
@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 ....
Mick Taylor cracks me up. He whips out these seriously delicious leads, but the look on his face is more of a "excuse me sir...can you tell me how to get to the corner of 10th and Connecticut Avenue."
Albert seems to love playing with Mick Taylor and man they sound good together.Albert seems like he's in heaven and playing like it to.I love how Albert's coaxing Mick on and lovin it to.I wish they could have played together more.
Mick!!!!!! Nothing needed talking about his name says it all. And my brother Albert here!! ❤️❤️💜 One of many greatjammin sessions with Mr. King 🎸👍🏾❤️ Talk about the Slide 🕺😘😘😘💃
Albert King is just something, tasty solo from Mick Taylor but boy Albert is impossible to handle.. the raw power and precision bends are mesmerizing…Albert is King
@@mag-nm7tw I like it, it's distinctive as he's never tried to sound like anyone else, but I suppose it's not to everyone's taste. 86 years old now, and still gigging!
Mick Taylor was so frikkin on this night...he knew it too..he didn't want to share solo time with anyone much..just wanted to ride that 40 ft wave he found. Nights like this are why the Stones wanted him. Albert saw it and just gave him his space in the end. RIP to Albert King..another master.
One of the most satisfying concerts I ever saw was Albert King and Ten Years After at the :LA Memorial Center, maybe 1968. People passed around joints and my MG Midget outraced a cop car on Laurel Canyon Bl. Back in the day.
You can hear what an influence King was on Jimmy Page here. Also he plays a right handed guitar flipped upside down, but unlike Hendrix he doesn't restring it for a lefty. Eric Gales does the same thing. Mick Taylor is unbelievable as always. Simply one of the greatest.
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.
Albert, R.I.P. I saw you at , ''Ethel's Lounge", in Detroit in the late 70's and you ripped it up. You were the Best, I will see you in Blues Heaven, Cousin Figel
The great Albert King,with this groove and this classy voice who played guitar with a right hand tuning on the left hand. Trebel strings at the top. 🧐 ❤
Mick Taylor and Albert King are sounding simply amazing 🎉🎉 I love the blues and it's just an example of phenomenal music, and a stepping stone to rock and roll 🎉🎉
Mick with a Strat and slide. Sublime. Albert with a stellar version of his signature song. So special. And it only gets better from there! Mayall goes nuts over Mick's Stormy Monday solo, and then Albert unleashes too, then let's Mick finish the jam. Fantastic!
I wonder if Mick Taylor's career trajectory would have been different if he had been more of a showman. Forget about connecting with the audience (besides the amazingly tasty guitar licks) he barely even makes eye contact with the other musicians.
I saw Mick Taylor in the Bluesbreakers and Albert King played for an hour before Mayall and Company. Mick's solo on Parchman Farm (yes that one beanohead) tore the house down. Albert does that to guitar players.

Had to see Albert King. He was amazing. Love John Mayall Diary of a Band I, II.. Purchased that in Venice Italy During Woodstock weekend. 1969. Unheard greatnes. Mick, Albert, Mayall... A great to find live performance.
Yes I'm throwing this out to all of yinz, yeah I'm from steel Town Pittsburgh but getting back to the topic john mayhall just passed away few days ago and I would like to see a blues festival honoring him and all his accomplishments that he gave to the blues from the British front totally underappreciated all the people he brought into the fold of music period.
Mick Taylor has it made the best of both worlds because he can sit back play the "Blues" and have everyone who knows Rock say The Stones have never been as good since he left!!!!!
1st the song.... Bad Ass...Mick.Taylor Friggin Killer.... Albert. Killer... Dee White boy on Harp.. John, man to much.. The GODDS gave us this Music..... What a wonderfull gift..... HOT DAM......
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.
The amazing thing about The Great Albert King was that he played his guitar upside-down and so were his strings, most people cant play the guitar nearly as good when it's normally configured. Oh Yea, Mick Taylor & John Mayall we all know that they need no introductions. Great Show.
@@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.
@@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
Some decades ago, I was in Parc de Sceaux (Paris suburb) for quite a concert. On the bill in front of 80,000 people: Van Morrison, Santana, and Bob Dylan. Bob’s side guitarist: Mick… Imagine everybody on stage for the encore, Knocking on heaven’s door…
Thanks so much for posting this. I used to have the whole thing on Beta! Long gone. The show also featured Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, Etta James, Sippie Wallace. I saw the Bluesbreakers on this tour, without all the guests that were here. John McVie on bass instead of Albert's man that is playing here. It was a great show, no 2 Mick solo's sounded the same. Incredible stuff.
Great video! Great performances all around. Fantastic bottom end groove by the bass player and drum player. Is this John Mayall and Mick Taylor with Albert King's band, or Albert King with John Mayall's band???
I took my girlfriend to see Albert King ( who I loved) a second group from LA (I’d never heard of) and the headliner was B.B. King. It was At Aron Russo’s Electric Theatre ( in Chicago). By the way that group from LA was Santana ( on their first tour). Admission was $5.00 per person!

I'm honored to have shaken the huge hand of Albert King. Still can feel it.
Me, too. But, john Entwistle almost lifted me off the ground at the catalyst, Santa Cruz.
I would only pay to see the rolling stones if Mick Taylor would go back on tour with them! The Stones were at their best with Mick Taylor!
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🎸
When Mick Taylor left the Stones, we all cried a river, and we are still crying
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.

"Stormy Monday" was worth waiting for. Mick Taylor's solo's are f*cking breathtaking! 😮
Have a look at Albert K. with Gary Moore. Jaw - Dropping (and hilarious!).
😊
Mick Taylor just might be the most underrated, under appreciated, and unknown guitarist ever!
( not by me ) His work with the Rolling Stones were their best years.
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...
Remember seeing Albert King and Albert Collins in the same evening ❤😂
I saw both, not together at OT Price in Capitola CA mid 80s. You got to meet the players there if you be oool.
The great Albert King, one of the greatest blues players ever. And the great Mick Taylor. Fab!
YES Mick Taylor !!
Albert King is not one of best blues player he’s one of the best guitarist ever period

Hey and thts john Mayhall on harp
Love the harp playing by John Myall, a great British blues musician.
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

Two geniuses. I’m grateful to still be able to find concerts like this that amaze me.

Albert King, as well as John Mayall and Mick Taylor are on the top of their art. A wonderful intercation, a great musician adventure.
of all the great blues artists named King, I always liked Albert King the best
man...I love these greats that only use their fingers and fingernails - no pick! it's true emotion from their fingertips!
Yes ! Like Wes Montgomery...
At the twelve minute mark it shows Taylor using a pick.
You can hear where Stevie Ray got it all from. Some of it, note for note - like Eric Clapton and Freddie King.
Mick Taylor, is the best feeling guitar player, in the same vain as David Gilmore, and cat's like Albert king are the whole reason why!
Solid musicians! All of em!
The amazing thing about The Great Albert King was that he played his guitar upside-down and so were his strings, most people cant play the guitar nearly as good when it's normally configured.
Oh Yea, Mick Taylor & John Mayall we all know that they need no introductions. Great Show.
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
This is awesome! Thanks for uploading it!
Some decades ago, I was in Parc de Sceaux (Paris suburb) for quite a concert. On the bill in front of 80,000 people: Van Morrison, Santana, and Bob Dylan. Bob’s side guitarist: Mick… Imagine everybody on stage for the encore, Knocking on heaven’s door…
Thanks so much for posting this. I used to have the whole thing on Beta! Long gone. The show also featured Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, Etta James, Sippie Wallace. I saw the Bluesbreakers on this tour, without all the guests that were here. John McVie on bass instead of Albert's man that is playing here. It was a great show, no 2 Mick solo's sounded the same. Incredible stuff.
Found another gem, never even heard of Mick Taylor. There's a Library of Congress, we need library of blues.

Its amazing just how Father can bring all his kids in their element.
The most cool player here is the bassist
Great video! Great performances all around. Fantastic bottom end groove by the bass player and drum player. Is this John Mayall and Mick Taylor with Albert King's band, or Albert King with John Mayall's band???
Just SO damn good. 🎸🎸🥁🎹🎤🎵👏
I took my girlfriend to see Albert King ( who I loved) a second group from LA (I’d never heard of) and the headliner was B.B. King. It was At Aron Russo’s Electric Theatre ( in Chicago). By the way that group from LA was Santana ( on their first tour). Admission was $5.00 per person!
