@Brian Flynn You're right on about Taylor. He might have even stuck around the Stones if they would have paid him a few bucks once in a while and given him proper credit for the great songs he wrote. Sway, Moonlight Mile, Time Waits for No One, Winter, to name a few.

Soo, this is Soooo TIGHT. Play it, several times, and listen to each instrument, one at a time. Charlie, then Bill, Keith chugging like a Locomotive, Taylor about ready to catch fire with that slide... and Mick already in Orbit. This is a rock n roll band at a moment in time...which nobody has ever matched.
They always had a top rhythm section with Wymam & Watts on bass & drums. Mick Taylor & Keef just slay it here on rock guitar! Mick on top of his game too as always!
Explain to me how this live version isn’t played every 3 hours on classic rock stations it’s just rock and roll personified. Incredible guitar, rhythm and singing

John what kind of troll are you, always hanging around in comment sections of the seventh whatever best band in the world? What you talk is absolute shit and shows that you got no glue of what real sound is, even calling Queen here leaves you naked and blamed, you look like a fired roadie with bad blood, you got to break free, get that bullet out ;)
The finest 4 minutes and 16 seconds of The Rolling Stones ever. This is Rock N Roll perfection, Charlie's drumming you would have to be dead not to tap along to, Bill's pulsating bass, Keith playing Rhythm Guitar like his life depended on it, Bobby Keys and Jim Price just superb and Mick showing why he is the greatest front man of them all, and then weaving his magic through it all is the virtuoso Mick Taylor.
Agreed! And recently, I saw where Freddie Mercury was rated the best front man ever and Mick Jagger was 2nd!! Come'On Man. You have got to be a moron to think Mick was second to Mercury!! What about Robert Plant and Roger Daltry? HMMM
Oh yeah,Definitely agree with that,Keith once said you couldn't actually believe the sound that he was making on the Bass,Until he stopped,and it was like the bottom fell out.Great comment. Walter B.I ✌🏽
@@annbugbee5623 he was VERY hard to replace. No dis to Darryl, but I wish I'd gotten my ass to their concerts before Taylor and Wyman left. That's the stuff I still listen to.

Hard to argue, but I'd mention Hunter and Wagner and Allman and Betts. Keith, other than Page, was arguably the greatest riff writer in rock and roll history, but as a guitarist, Mick was on a completely different level.
It's not that Mick Taylor is such an extraordinary guitarist that makes this work. It's just that he fits in so damn well with this band. That's what takes them to a whole other level. Incredible.
I am a HUGE Mick Taylor fan and this works but if you listen to a whole show from this period, he just solos non-stop. At times, it gets boring and doesn't fit the mood of the song. But then there are songs like this, or the whole Ya-Yas album where he kills it. But he really shined (shone?) brightest in the studio. Songs like Winter, Time Waits For No One, etc, that are just incredible.
In 1965 I was eight yrs old sitting with my parents watching the Stones on the Ed Sullivan show for the first time. I remember thinking when I retire I will go see them play live in Denver in 2024. Sure enough, I got tickets for the Jun show!!!! 😂😂😂
Oh what s load of codswallop these born again Stones fans are. As if Mick Taylor reinvented the Stones all by himself. He fitted in after Brian Jones died Excellent musician but Ron Wood fit in better with the Stones agenda and Wyman is still missed. Bobby Keys is truly an unwritten hero on the sax.
@@davidrubenhold6677 we can’t forget about Bill Wyman he is the stones the real stones the true stones Bill hardly gets the respect he deserves even to this day once Bill left the stones the stones were over the stones were never the stones after Bill left no baseplayer can replace Bill just ask Geddy Lee or ask any baseplayer no Wyman no Stones and now Charlie Watts passed away the band is over for good I don’t wanna see the stones with any baseplayer and I don’t wanna see the stones continue with any drummer no matter how good the baseplayer or drummer is it’s never gonna be the stones the whole band should have hung it up after steel wheels
Just look at Keith man, he’s totally in a world of his own, playing as if there is no tomorrow putting all of his heart and soul into ever note! This is what playing live should be like. The Stones didn’t just play their songs, they were performers true showmen!
The Rolling Stones will forever be second best, at best: For every hit they had, The Beatles had 5 … In my opinion, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen were all better bands than the Stones.
superb fast , rockin flawless slide guitar by Mick Taylor here . and a horn section too. i think i'll celebrate with Winston Churchill's favorite cocktail , gin and tonic .
This was their best tour. Charlie in top form, Mick Taylor killing it, and Mick just owns the stage, Keith's rhythm is just mesmerizing too. The 69 tour they were figuring out their new live sound and still kinda sedate, but by 72 they had found it and by Christ do they burn a firework here.
@@isidromena9784 I love Rocks Off, All Down the Line, Torn and Frayed, Loving Cup and Soul Survivor. But the whole Album is awesome an easily one of the best of all time.
Taylor has such a great touch! Totally a feeling player who knew exactly what the song needed. With Mick up front no one else needs to have any stage presence.
Too bad Charlie wasn’t in the shot more. He was really laying it down. His hard work made it possible for the two guitars to soar as they did and for Mick to be Mick. Bravo, maestro Charlie. You weren’t a rockstar, you were a MUSICIAN.
The whole band is just mind blowingly fucking brilliant in this song, but Mick Taylor plays at a level of unmatchable greatness. He never makes a mistake and his tone and timing are so good it’s surreal.
Mick J was and is the best front man in rock n roll. Period. Mick Taylor was absolutely kick ass on guitar and elevated the Stones to another level. And Keith, Charlie, and Bill were legendary.
I love the stones, but Mick J is boring as front man : i never seen him smilling, he his always in pain! greater front men than MJ : Eric Burdon, Otis redding, James Brown, Keith Relch, Ian Anderson, Frank Zappa, Rorri Gallagher, Noddy Holder, ... and Keith Moon (he was the real front man of the Who).
That band right there, 1972, that band, at that exact moment in history, they certainly were the Greatest Rock and Roll Band In the World. That group of musicians are the greatest of all time, bar none, that Rock and Roll has ever seen or ever will see. So if you saw them in 1972-1973 you saw the Greatest Ever. After that, no band or other group of musicians have ever topped it. That was the pinnacle of Rock and Roll. Mick and Keith are still riding that fact, that they were the two guys who put together the Greatest Band Ever. It only lasted a couple years, but they were it. Still are the standard to top. Once Taylor left it all basically fell apart. They became just another band. But 1972 will never be topped. I just can't see it. Nowadays there aren't any real musicians left. Too bad. 50 years ago, there was this band........
Didn’t fall apart after Taylor left. I have seen them 11 times 1989 to 2021! If fell apart would have faded away years ago. Awesome every time I have seen them. Voodoo Lounge Tour Houston Astrodome was the greatest concert in my life. No way anyone could have been better than that! I don’t see how they could have been better themselves. I get tired of people saying that..There was several people who had never seen them Before went. One wasn’t really a big fan. When it was over she called me the next day saying she couldn’t sleep when she got home from the vibe of the concert. !! She was made a fan that night ! I was same way I Couldn’t sleep. Still get chills thinking about that one! I have seen all the great ones live too.
Linn Vaveon I think musically Mick Taylor and the stones sounded perfect together , he complimented their sound perfectly, it’s my favourite stones era when it comes to listening to the live recordings.
The energy here is awe-inspiring. Keith and the band are playing with total precision and drive, and Jagger has complete command on stage. The Stones in these years really put themselves into the show and gave it to the audience. Impossible not to have a great time when all this is happening.
When the Stones are firing on all cylinders and the energy is radiating from them into the audience there's nothing like it - it's like a firehose shooting at you and encapsulating you, drenching you, knocking you back, just feeling the energy.... totally awesome!!
Saw them at the Philadelphia Spectrum ( this tour). This is how I love to see the Stones….not with all the lights, graphics. Just a stage with the best Rock snd Roll band ever!!!
I was a teenager when the 1972 tour hit the US. There was a true buzz in the air musically in the States from the time "Tumbling Dice" hit the radio waves until the tour was completed at Madison Square Garden, NYC. It's never been surpassed.
I LOVE reading all these comments, they just confirm my own feelings about Mick Taylor; he was so brilliant and yet so underrated at the time. It's no coincidence that their finest hour was with MT.
No matter who the band or singer is, even Ray Charles or Otis (close though) there is an intensity and rhythm of the Stones that is different and can go through like an electric current. It’s incredible they have always kept going. This version is just charged.
you have to think how humble keith was to play rhythm guitar in his own band, on songs he wrote. letting himself shine and letting mick get it done up front
This is another hidden gem 💎 ✨️, and it's sounding incredible 🎉🎉. I wish that they would play this song more 🎉🎉 The Stones are always putting on a stellar performance. Their music 🎶 🎵 changed the way people looked at rock and roll
Not about who's better. Music is not a competition, both are great in their own right. Having been a professional musician myself for over 40 years this is not something we even talk about among ourselves. We share info, licks and inspiration.
However much animosity there is between Taylor and Richards it is overshadowed by the pure awesomeness of their playing together. They were the perfect compliment to each others styles. He brought something to The Stones along the same lines of what Brian did. Something Ronnie just does not have. My biggest music regret is missing them during the 72 tour at the Garden. A misbred grey executive (you may have seen them, they are heavily advertised) was supposed to get us tickets for painting his house. He then found out that those tickets were much harder to acquire than a normal rock tour. Because of that fuck we did not see The Stones until the 75 tour. I like Ronnie but he just does not have Taylor's skills. The Yin and Yang of Taylor/Richards brought musically to the band what the Yin and Yang of Jagger/Richards did to the band as a whole. Their intertwined playing with lead and rhythm was unsurpassed by any other guitar duo, ever. They did with guitars what Jagger and Richards did with their vocals. The Stones are always great but those years, 1969 at New Hyde Park to 1974 when Taylor quit, was the finest music that was callexd Rock and Roll ever made. They were historic years, the greatest of The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World, known as The Fantastic Five, THE ROLLING STONES!
With this musician leaving RS became clearly more of a social than musical phenomenon. Before that, the first decade, it was both. Maybe 10 good tunes 1974-2024, 10 good tunes composed in 50 years.
Mick Taylor is in prime form. His playing is exceptional. i think we all knew it at the time too . but notice Keith facing the band - the band follows Keith.I think Bill Wyman said it best "when Keith plays - the rhythm IS the lead guitar" .
I heard Ronnie say that long ago on the late night Larry King radio program. Ernie Watts the sax player said Charlie follows Keith's lead. And Ronnie said they are in rhythm, but just slightly off as Keith leads - that's what give the Stones a unique sound.
damn watching these old videos of the stones on tour right after exile there is no disputing the fact at this time they were the greatest rock and roll band ever
This sounds better than the track on "Exile," which has a muddied sound to it. This is just so ... energized, clear, and in sync. Can a pure rock-n-roll song get any better?
That right there at that moment is the greatest rock and roll band of all time!!
The Rolling Stones will forever be second best, at best:
For every hit they had, The Beatles had 5 …
In my opinion, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen were all better bands than the Stones.

I was a teenager when the 1972 tour hit the US. There was a true buzz in the air musically in the States from the time "Tumbling Dice" hit the radio waves until the tour was completed at Madison Square Garden, NYC. It's never been surpassed.
Mick Taylor is unbelievable in this.
Yep
the Mick Taylor years were the best for the Stones. Ronnie is good but he's no Mick Taylor..
Amazing
unbelievable
Just listen to his guitar playing in the albums the Stones recorded when he was with them.
I LOVE reading all these comments, they just confirm my own feelings about Mick Taylor; he was so brilliant and yet so underrated at the time. It's no coincidence that their finest hour was with MT.
Mick Taylor it is like the finest cream on strawberries
the missing building block of the stones
such an unbelievable taste of rock & roll🍓👌👌👌
Mick Taylor rocked the house down with that performance on slide guitar!🎸
Bobby Keyes on Saxophone was shining that night in Texas also🎷
No matter who the band or singer is, even Ray Charles or Otis (close though) there is an intensity and rhythm of the Stones that is different and can go through like an electric current. It’s incredible they have always kept going. This version is just charged.
Beautiful tone and slide playing by Mick Taylor.
you have to think how humble keith was to play rhythm guitar in his own band, on songs he wrote. letting himself shine and letting mick get it done up front
It was Brian Jones band
Yeah but there's rhythm guitar and there's Keith . Keith was always developing . His live playing with Ron Wood is on another level .
@@ianhumm531 Oh, stop. This wasn't Brian's song. Brian didn't play on it. In fact, he didn't write songs. He was a versatile player. So what?
@@ianhumm531
Was it then, lol.
-
But seriously -
Jones had NOTHING on Jagger/Richards
And never will.

the absolute greatest in all of rock and roll history period
Mick Taylor! Amazing!
Stones...With no bullshit...Just PLAY!!!
Great live version of "All Down the Line".They were(and still are) awesome.💜💙💜
Exile for me is their magnum opus, four sides of grimy R&R and R&B... its flawless and this joint kills on side four!
I could never tire of watching this.
The Stones have stamina... Great songs and great playing.
This is another hidden gem 💎 ✨️, and it's sounding incredible 🎉🎉. I wish that they would play this song more 🎉🎉 The Stones are always putting on a stellar performance. Their music 🎶 🎵 changed the way people looked at rock and roll
The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the History of Music
Absolutely agree! 100%
Steve Allen Stones played in Buffalo, NY 6 Times. That Buffalo #2 for most snow
Steve Allen Absolutely the truth.
Not the greatest musicians but definitely in a league of their own as a band.
ooooh yeees!!
Mick Taylor, THE best guitar by far the Stones ever had...so effortlessly...gotta give a nod to Bobby Keys as well...
hell yes
Ronnie and Keith play way better together, though. Agree Mick is better.
Give's Duane Allman run for his slide money, and that's saying a lot.
Not about who's better. Music is not a competition, both are great in their own right. Having been a professional musician myself for over 40 years this is not something we even talk about among ourselves. We share info, licks and inspiration.
Just my opinion...
However much animosity there is between Taylor and Richards it is overshadowed by the pure awesomeness of their playing together. They were the perfect compliment to each others styles. He brought something to The Stones along the same lines of what Brian did. Something Ronnie just does not have.
My biggest music regret is missing them during the 72 tour at the Garden. A misbred grey executive (you may have seen them, they are heavily advertised) was supposed to get us tickets for painting his house. He then found out that those tickets were much harder to acquire than a normal rock tour. Because of that fuck we did not see The Stones until the 75 tour. I like Ronnie but he just does not have Taylor's skills. The Yin and Yang of Taylor/Richards brought musically to the band what the Yin and Yang of Jagger/Richards did to the band as a whole. Their intertwined playing with lead and rhythm was unsurpassed by any other guitar duo, ever. They did with guitars what Jagger and Richards did with their vocals. The Stones are always great but those years, 1969 at New Hyde Park to 1974 when Taylor quit, was the finest music that was callexd Rock and Roll ever made. They were historic years, the greatest of The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World, known as The Fantastic Five,
THE ROLLING STONES!
Best Stones song ever,greasy and dirty,full energy pumping here folks
I acuiled this double album in college in 1972 and is still my favorite album of all time
What a smoker of a song ! Real rock and roll, just love it!!
Mick Taylor tearing shit up!!
Fu#k yeah!
With this musician leaving RS became clearly more of a social than musical phenomenon. Before that, the first decade, it was both. Maybe 10 good tunes 1974-2024, 10 good tunes composed in 50 years.
@@janpierzchala2004 LOL@ 10 good tunes composed in 50 years! WTF ?
@@jackthompson1974 How many songs composed after 1974 get on the lists of 21 century concerts of RS?
start me up, miss you, shattered, respectable, she was hot,some girls@@janpierzchala2004
Still gives me goosebumps ⚡️
Rumor is that if you were to venture there today, Bill Wyman is still standing in the exact same spot, motionless and laying down that rhythm.
There was nothing better than when Charlie really got into a groove. The rhythm section was smouldering here.
No they were fucking goat piss napalm in the treeline here.
Mick Taylor is a God and Charlie Watts is a fucking bullet at the end!
Mick Taylor is in prime form. His playing is exceptional. i think we all knew it at the time too .
but notice Keith facing the band - the band follows Keith.I think Bill Wyman said it best "when Keith plays - the rhythm IS the lead guitar" .
Yah Keith keeps this masterpiece tight
I'd never knock Keith, quality rthyme guitar playing as ever but hell Taylor is just killin it here, oh man simply mind blowing guitar playing!
I heard Ronnie say that long ago on the late night Larry King radio program. Ernie Watts the sax player said Charlie follows Keith's lead. And Ronnie said they are in rhythm, but just slightly off as Keith leads - that's what give the Stones a unique sound.
Keef is GOD.
When Charlie retires it's over. Keith will NEVER play with another drummer and call it "The Rolling Stones".
Mick Taylor ,the most talented guitar playing statue there ever was .
The Stones at their best - and what a guitar player Mick Taylor was.
Pinnacle rock and roll. Often imitated, never matched. Long live the stones.
damn watching these old videos of the stones on tour right after exile there is no disputing the fact at this time they were the greatest rock and roll band ever
at that time, yeah. I wished I could have seen them then.
They are and will always be the greatest ever! PERIOD!!
This sounds better than the track on "Exile," which has a muddied sound to it. This is just so ... energized, clear, and in sync. Can a pure rock-n-roll song get any better?
The greatest Rock & Roll band ever at their absolute peak performing one of their best songs, what more do you want???
Wow! Just freaking wow!
Bill stays so calm.
He keeps his eye on the ball, so the others have a sure foundation to do their thing.
never ever get tired of listing to Mick Taylor its addictive
Superb guitar playing by Mick Taylor... he took the band to musical heights they’ve never reached since.
Overplaying here - but I agree entirely. Virtuoso.
Mick Taylor was freaking amazing.
@@yassassin6425 Mick is a musician. He doesnt overplay
@@rickster1957
Generally no, he doesn't, but he was here.
Superb playing by Taylor the Rolling Stones took him to heights he would never reach again X
Stones at their best....
Seriously, the slide work from MT is other worldly. Just an amazing guitar player
Man, this is just SO FUCKING GOOD! Raw and incredible sounding!
Mick T. and Keith playing together is unmatched greatness
Agreed, Keith hammers out the riff while Mick T shreds
Nick Mah Che is on oincredt ask him
Ronnie is a better fit for the Stones. Much prefer his playing to Taylor's. More soulful. Tastier. Succinct.
@@holyworrier he is a NOBODY compared to Mick Taylor...you just don't get it obviously
@@holyworrier to each his own, don't get me wrong, nothing like Ronnie, absolute master also but the greatest Stones happened with Mick Taylor!
