When Mick left the Stones, they stayed frozen in time, stuck in their narrow groove. Lucky for us, that Mick Taylor broke free, and followed his own star. He is one of the most interesting guitarists I know of.
Such a calm, measured, serenity he radiates, and at the same time he makes music of such beauty, precision, and intensity. An unusual talent, and one of the most skilled guitarists of this era.
Of any era, really. His style is different, obviously, but I hear no difference in class or grace between him and Segovia, Coltrane, etc. And in some ways he was even a tad more poignant. I've never heard anyone use space and phrasing to such an effect that it changes the DNA of the simplest notes. Not like him, anyway. Blues was his format, to be sure, but his fusions always came off to me as utterly surreal and without genre. A really breathtaking musician.
Mick Taylor was there from June 69- Dec 74. The Stones were very good with Brian but Mick Taylor elevated them to a new level, especially live. Even Mick Jagger admits it in the 1995 Rolling Stone interview. There is a reason they play 75% of their songs in concert from 62-75. They have never been the same mjackson2605! Classy post by the way.
As a musician, Mick Taylor was way better than the other 4 Stones put together. The best years of the Stones were 69-74 no doubt. The band's best albums: Let it Bleed, Exile on Main Street, Sticky Fingers, Goats Head Soup.
good stuff please come back,the stones have never been the same without you Mick, since you left theve been reduced to a greatest hits band. mostly song you played on. nothing against Ronnie, hes just not you. the Stones made their greatest music when Brian and MT were in the band hands down
Mick Taylor and The Stones needed each other. Had Taylor stayed, we would have had a few more immortal songs to groove to. As it is, neither reached Olympian heights after the seperation, especially for Taylor who was/is as sublime as any legendary blues guitarist.
I greatly admire Mick Taylor but this kind of loose and jazzy improvisation that purports to be CYHMK is just boring and leads to nowhere. I did not manage to go over 4 minutes...
That's not a fair assessment, nor is it something anybody acquainted with his full body of work live and in studio would say as monosyllabically as you just did. Not his best performance by any measure but still admirable for any disheveled blues rock LEGEND after extensive bouts with addiction. One would think, anyways. I'd respect the honesty of your approach more if you'd tried commenting that on, say, his Sway recordings with Carla Olson but great and articulate critics such as yourself always seem to prefer the washed-out archives for some reason.

Mick was the best guitar player the stones ever had, no doubt !!!

Very annoyingly Mick's "breaking free" & "following his own star" amounted to very little indeed.
What a mostly wasted talent ☹️

Many late night-early mornings coming home from the bars and c-h-o-m f.m. would be playing this song!

lol what an argument, that is because they wrote 95% of their hits in that timeframe...not because Mick Taylor was there :)
@@theyoutubegeek7493 of course it was he just never got credited on the songs
The Rolling Stones were never better than with Mick Taylor, both in studio and alive. With him they were THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD.
I love this,can't get enough,,could be best version ,I've found
Mick was just great on the original version on Sticky Fingers album......smooth

I think Richards is every bit the musician Taylor is, wish they were still bandmates.
Mick Taylor and his band take that song to a whole new level.
I totally agree with you there! Haven't cared for them since he left the band! Time waits for no one is my all time favorite Stones song hands down!
yeah shame he keeps playing their songs all the time, he should get some of his own
@@richardfweeler2939
Agreed!! He did so little without the Stones, it's a shame.
Check out his solo albums, but several Stones songs were written by him moonlight Mile, Sway, Time waits for No one etc
Mick Taylor je ne souviens de toi dans le groupe des rolling stone. Toujours l e roi des guitariste 😀❤
Fantastic!
good stuff please come back,the stones have never been the same without you Mick, since you left theve been reduced to a greatest hits band. mostly song you played on. nothing against Ronnie, hes just not you. the Stones made their greatest music when Brian and MT were in the band hands down

Too true …blue
good stuff please come back
Who knew that "Can´t You Hear Me Knocking " wasable2b an instrumental? Mick Taylor deserves some Stones re$pect.
Anybody that listened to the original knew it. The last half of the song is an instrumental, which is the part he played here.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH
And that Jam as much inspired by Bobby & Charlie as anybody!!
That was not Can't You Hear Me Knocking...
YOU MEAN HE SHOULD PLAY IT THE SAME WAY... EVERYTIME... PULEEZE!
I wish he was still in Keiths band.
Wish I was in his band too
Where can i get this Dvd? Please... the name?
Unfortunately there is no DVD.
There was a live recording of this record at the Arthurs club in Geneva some time ago, but now its gone.
cant you hear me knockin jam
Would love to hear Peter Green on that! Not to replace Mick, just to augment.
Dank u wel @UCh4B-7eh5Jd6D-EmOzcc69g
The Stones were TOO BIG for Mick Taylor...and Taylor was TOO GOOD for The Stones...But they were GODS together !
was not impressed of 9 years ago!....how now though?
......with a "BIG SMILE".....9 or 10 JEARS LATER ... walk on
With growing age Mick looks a bit like Gary Moore.
Phil Frank yeah but I think his increased weight is the bigger cause for that
Sounds nothing like the song
