Keith will tell anybody willing to listen, that this live riff could not have happened without Charlie behind him. Two R&R legends for sure.
This rif reeks of Charlie... and the o the guitar into Keith...
Charlie is my 2nd favorite musician, thank goodness for Keef and Charlie.
Absolutely..
Absolutely!!
Charlie 😢❤
It's more of a percussive riff than a melodic one, killer precision timing from both K and C. (RIP Charlie, maybe the best jazz drummer in a R&R band ever.)
You don’t have to trash Keith to love Mick Taylor. Or visa versa. They play off each other. Love this one. Also Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’. ❤❤
Absolutely both are excellent guitar players.
Hard to believe, Keith is 79 years old today. Amazing 🎸
It's not too hard when you're 62 and the Stones were having hit records when I was in year 2 at primary school .
Best solo guitar ever ? Kiss my ass. Richards is far to be one of the best guitar of the rock’n roll stage. Stones needed always some 😮help for the studio session. Ry Cooder is on Exile on Main Street for instance. Mick Taylor is a real great guitar top player.
@@MCFEROX6060 Taylor is the greatest guitarist ever.
Especially when there we’re supposed death watches for KEEF in the 1970’s. Holy Shit Keef is a zombie. lol.
@@MCFEROX6060😭
I was so fortunate to have grown up with this music...no other age enjoyed music this awesome!
Really? Fifties with chuck Berry,Little Richard and others were a notch above!
Exactly!
55 yrs. And still Amazing, God Bless the Stones. Todays bands just don't have chops like these bands that kicked off RR, and definitely no band dedication like the Stones. The Stones are What Legends are made of!

Hello Mr. Robert 👋
Mick Taylor and Keith Richards = shared lead guitar made in heaven.
Mick Taylor solo is hot shit. Really makes this a jamming tune. This is Keith's best live solo that's not a Chuck Berry song . Taylor's playing pushed the Stones to new heights as a live, kickass band.
I've been spending a lot of time pushing back folks who can't seem to praise MT
w/o dragging down 'The Human Riff'.
It's refreshing to hear someone state they're a Taylor fan w/o dissing Keef.
I basically agree with everything you said.
- Dave B.
@@jellobiafra2810 Yes, I love them both. Music is music and every person is different. Dickie Betts once said something along the lines of with this guitar playing thing, we’re not keeping score. Everybody gets to do their own thing.
@@lordofthemound3890*Great example!*
He played _'2nd-fiddle'_ to Duane Allman.
THEN: 'Brothers & Sisters'!
*ROX ON!*
- Dave B.
@@jellobiafra2810 I would never run down Keith while he played with Taylor. After Taylor, that's another story.
@@jefferyroy2566 The time when Brian Jones was fading & Mick Taylor wasn't much of it yet:
*-* *'Beggars Banquet'*
*-* *'Through The Past Darkly'*
(more than just a _'greatest-hits'_ )
*-* *'Let It Bleed'*
('68-'69)
I call it *THE KEITH RICHARD YEARS!*
(& Jagger, of course)
- Dave B.
Get your Ya Ya's out was one of the best records I have ever listened to. Keith is a fantastic player and If I could only have one album it would be this one.
Every time I listen to The stones I feel happy
I wish I was born at that era
Mick Taylor you are legend
na na na na!!i am from this era!!!na na na na!!!
Yeah my name is Joey Canon I was around late in 76 but I still love them seen them eight times and in the best band ever
Keef is all about Happy!
The first solo was Keith however the second solo by the great mick taylor is what stands out..
That was the best ever stones during Taylor's reign!
Amen
Always been my favorite live Stones album, and made Mick Taylor my hero
it's amazing how many Stones fans I've discovered who said Mick Taylor "overplayed" and that his kind of guitar virtuosity didn't belong in The Stones and they're supposed to be flawed and sloppy. It amazes me. How dumb. People are.
Keith for the first couple of minutes, then Mick Taylor. So simple that it's fabulous. Thanks for reminding me. Love it@
I agree. Always loved this song, the solo and that album. It's hands down my favorite live album, no contender.
nothing against this but i recommend skynard live and eat a peach allmans if you like rock guitar esp. a bit of jazz/improvisation rather than heavyschmettle or "listen how fast i can play". fed up with pople putting keith down. he never claimed to be anything more than he is/was and that is a lot more than most of us were/are. intro to shelter still gets my socks wet.
The periode with Mick Taylor was the best!! I love the Sound of his (Taylors) guitar! Rock from the finest, hard.
Mick Taylor is highly under-rated... My opinion.
M.T. kept the rolling bones afloat after Brains death. Period.
I have to say . . . that is the essence of rock and roll. That's it.
Sad for r&r then, I guess. This sounds like shit. Really unlistenable shit. And the solo is shit too. What a clown Richards is. Thinking of his silly moves; if you're going to look and behave like that on stage, you'd better be able to back it up with some truly godlike playing, otherwise it'd just be sad. But as we all know, Richards can't do that beacuse ha can't play for shit. (But I'll admit he's composed some very nice riffs).
Beautiful! Nothing better than watching Keith get his groove on! Only the best in the world!!
Taylor’s solo is brilliant, it puts the Stones on another level. They have been banking on this other level reaping the benefits for 50 years.

@@thurmanwilliams185
Definitely, Mr Mick Taylor, One of the best (I mean, the best) lead guitar players that have ever been! Hats off!
I probably agree. But he was NOT much the "SHOWMAN". Right? But he COULD play, yo !
You never needed a showman with Jagger as front man. Can't remember Paul Kossoff moving around much but Free were like the Stones, devastating live. This showman crap is bull put about by Richards to cover his arse in regards to his poor lead guitar playing where as Taylor was a genius who elevated the Stones musically to the best live rock band in the world.
Get yer ya ya's out is a great live album circa 1969. Sort of Mick Taylor's coming out tour of America. A favorite of mine forever.
Keith wrote the Stones' best songs. He is one of the coolest guys on earth. Epitome of rock and roll.
But from 1969 through 1974, he was the second best guitarist in a band that had 2 guitar players.
LoL...so true.
Thomas: I disagree with the first sentence and agree with the second.
How good is this ! Could and have listened this over and over again ! Priceless music 👌❤️❤️
What makes Keith so special is his genius creativity playing RHYTHM in little snippets of "soloing" during a song. His cool undeniably "Keith" phrases are what sets him in his own stratosphere. As far as pure lead soloing, Mick was very special, and melodic. Why take anything away from either one by comparing them? So many great guitarists we've been blessed to experience. That time they were together was so powerful.
He sucks. Seriously, he is a terrible guitar player. Those little snippets are do to the fact he cant keep time. He stinks!
I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)!
Clueless trolls notwithstanding; I agree with the futility of trying to compare 2 great guitarists playing in the same 'World's Greatest' band at the same time. - Dave B.
Mick Taylor,s guitar playing just shows how very limited Keiths guitar playing really is.
@@mikewright54 I get it.
That's your opinion.
When Mick Taylor's 'sweet-flash', melodic leads were added; The Stones
became WAY better! ('specially live)
I'm just from the school that considers rhythm more important.
Especially for 'song-creating'.
When Keef learned 'open-tunings'/Ran an acoustic thru a cheap 'top-load' tape deck/Then ran it thru the big studio equipment; He created a whole new version of 'R&R' guitar playing.
He elevated the art of _'finger-position'_
(with an eye on where you need to go next)
to a higher level.
I know his playing might not be hard to replicate.
But, the STUDIO version of this song was ALL Keith Richard!
(incl. the bass)
Those leads were considered 'iconic' at the time.
Hey, IMHO/IYHO. Right?
*Rocks On!*
- Dave B.
Still listening since 1968, seen him live three times once with Billy Preston he came out did fingerprint file what a great show. Their shows are always perfection in my eyes
Something magical about being at a Stones concert. You know you’re in the presence of greatness. In the presence of nobility and the presence of history.
Great solos. Great live song performances. They rock. Charlie Watts RIP.
The Stones were still great after Mick Taylor left, but in his years with the band they were astounding.
drdellaman
The Stones are great right now.. Go see them. They are NOT “mailing it in”. At their age, they remain hot as Hell. Because of the dismal state of Rock and Roll, they may well again be The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World today. Where the hell did everybody else go? I hope the young people enjoy their Hip Hop records.
WHO KNOWS WHAT RECORD THIS IS ON?
@@jereownby5116 Get Your Ya Yas Out. The whole album is worth having.
Bill Kalivas Absolutely! “Charlie’s good tonight, in’t he?”
Yeah. Ronnie Wood plays in a similar style to Keith. Mick Taylor was more technically proficient and gave the Stones a different sound.
If you can ever track down the bootleg of the first show in Vancouver kicking off the '72 tour you will hear Mick Taylor go way beyond anything you ever heard from him. Amazing. (And I know the first solo in the video here is Mr. Keef)
Your damn right the best. No one knew a guitar could speak like this. He wrote this and played it and gave birth to it and it will live forever. There’s something in this man soul that has yet to be fully understood.
Richards dies the dirty work but Taylor is doing the real work..
I'm 18 yrs old every time I hear this song!!! pretty miraculous....I'm 63 and still rocking every day so this tune is perfectly played as far as I'm concerned!!
@keith Richards i'm not usually on YT this early in the day. My email is sunnydayblue@gmail.com... i understand you have something for me? I used to be the girl in my profile pic. Now I'm 70, still beautiful and rock n roll' all the way!

Thanks for your utmost love and support has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this, but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times.
i do read your heartwarming comments and i truly appreciate all.
It's the season of love for me
& so i decided to put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through old posts on my official page and hitting up random fans,
So i can get to relate with my fans better through discussions of depth and humour, listening to compliments and criticisms on my career walk.♥️
Wow. The best riff I have ever heard. Congratulations Keith Richards. Stones are immortaly
Mick Taylor was in another class altogether.
I saw the lads on this tour when they played at the University of Illinois in November 1969. This was the first time I heard Sympathy for the Devil and Midnight Rambler. Absolutely amazing!
I saw them at Indiana University at the world tour. Actually they are even better now.
Mick Taylor and Keith Richards complimented each other to me the stones were never the same without Mick Taylor
Mick Taylor was the lead guitar master. Kieth could play Rhythm period
That's pretty close my friend
Check out MT solo album from 79
Awesome solos
Mick was so smooth in the Stones. Get Yer Ya Ya’s and Live at Fillmore East are the best live concerts recorded.
Brothers Live at the Fillmore East is the greatest live album of all time hands down.
@@nampjones8265 Absolutely. We got a lot of people to teach. 😂
this is together with crossroads the craziest song from my band's setlist, love to go insane with this piece
Long live Keith, he will keep the species alive.
Rolling Stones concert should be on everyone's bucket list.
Have you ever been in a crowd? I don't mean a crowded bar or a big party. I mean have you ever found yourself among several thousand people ... wait. Maybe not several. Lets just go with 80 instead. ... among 80,000+ people and you're standing in the exact spot where they all want to be?
I got up at 3:30 and was gone by 4. It was almost 5am when I arrived. As I walked toward the gate, I saw several hundred people who were sleeping on the sidewalk. "Hmm" I thought, as I walked right past them. "You don't need to go down there and camp out." My Dad said. "Just go early." Who knew? (still thinking) "Dad was right!"
I was on the steps with my $21 ticket when they opened the gate. Everyone was searched. There were three 8-yard dumpsters reserved for contraband. Judging by what I saw taken from the [very] few people ahead of me, by the time everyone was in, they were filled with thousands of dollars worth of stuff, including, coolers, alcohol, cameras, tents, food, weapons, etc. They took some brass knuckles from the guy ahead of me. He had been carrying them long enough they had worn an outline in his back pocket. When I looked down on the stage, there was no one in front of it. In fact, there was no one on the field at all. I looked across to the other side where there were already people moving that direction. I took off running full speed down the steep stairs, over the rail onto the field, racing for the sweet spot, with my eye on the competition, who had their eyes on me. When we got there, we all just sat down on the grass and waited. Some people were dressed in costumes. Some weren't. I was right beside this chick dressed like a witch and her old man, whose pictures made the front page of The Dallas Times Herald entertainment section the next day. The party was on!
On an overcast day, with 80,000 people behind me, the security team all stood stone-faced with arms crossed and feet just over shoulder-width apart, lined up across the field every 5 or 6 feet, ten feet in front of a plywood wall about 2 feet from the stage as The Fabulous Thunderbirds played. Then, after about an hour long intermission, a look of fear & panic replaced that bad-boy look on their faces and they turned and ran. In a split second, they were over the most badass plywood wall I have ever seen. Before I could turn to see, or even wonder why, my chest hit the wall. I had moved 10 feet forward without even taking a step! The crowd behind me took care of that. Suddenly, I was face-to-face with Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill, just 2 feet in front of me. They played a set at least twice as long as The Thunderbirds. Then, it was intermission again. The pressure eased up and I could relax a little, and get a breath of fresh ... Who am I kidding? There was no fresh air. There was only smoke. Everywhere I looked, someone was burning some Acapulco or Columbian Gold, Thai-Stick, NoCal Red-bud Sensimillia, or just some plain ole Commercial. I was 17 & stoned out of my mind. I mean blasted! Finally, people slowly began to sit down.
It was a long intermission. I just sat on the blanket with the witch and her friends listening to the Rock and Roll playing through the huge stacks of speakers beside the stage. Then the music changed. I thought WTF is this? Definitely not Rock and Roll! It was "Take The A Train" and everybody stood up and started moving our way. This time I knew what was coming. We left the blanket lying, got up and had just started moving toward the wall when the crowd hit us. It's a strange feeling, to say the least, when your feet are off the ground but you're still moving as if you're walking. I reached for the wall and held tight until my feet came down. I could hear some people yelling just a few feet behind me. I looked back and saw it was a few guys trying as hard as they could to get a little space. Just a little was all they needed. Finally, one reached down, grabbed a hand, and pulled a girl to her feet. Falling was a potentially fatal mistake. Getting up was in defiance of the force of 80,000 people who were all pushing or being pushed toward the stage. Most of them had little or no control of their own direction. I didn't even think about letting go of that wall (and it didn't move or even flex throughout the entire show.) During the first song, "Under My Thumb" was when Mick Jagger opened a bottle of Jack, took a shot, and passed it down to the fans. We passed it around, but eventually, it landed in the hands of security personnel. At one point, a roadie brought Bill Wyman a towel. He wiped the rain off his face and his guitar, looked down, and threw it right at me. I reached out over the wall and snatched it, but before I could pull it back, there were 5 or 6 other hands on it, pulling hard. I had one hand holding on to the towel while the other still had a firm grip on the wall. It was being yanked back and forth as we all tried to claim the whole towel, but it was a hopeless effort. Not one hand (girls and guys) gave up its grip on a towel that was hardly even visible. (every square inch had been claimed.) This went on for 2 or 3 minutes before a paramedic pulled out his scissors and started cutting through the tight spaces between the hands. Throughout the show, although the temperature was dropping, and the rain continued coming down increasingly harder, there were several people who couldn't take the heat and/or the pressure on the crowded field of the Cotton Bowl. The stairs to the bleachers and the exit were in sight, but getting there meant pushing through a crowd of fans who were all pushing the other way, toward the stage. For those who needed relief, there was only one reasonable option. Crowd surfing was, for the most part, effortless. In a crowd like that, if you start to fall, you grab the closest person. If you feel someone grabbing or leaning heavy on you ... (Everyone has a purpose. Saving that person could be yours.) From the ground, there was no getting up without help. Two people would grab one in trouble, and lift him/her above their heads. That's it. From on top, it's impossible to fall - even for an unconscious person. It was a quick, free ride to the stage. Medical personnel were already there, waiting behind the wall to treat them. By the end of the show, it was getting dark, the water on the field was 2-3 feet deep, and there was no place to go. The exits were blocked by the people in the bleachers exiting the stadium. We finally had to climb up the wall and over the rail. I was soaked from my hat down. Even my boots were full of water. It took over an hour to get off the field and to my truck. Two hours later, I made it to the highway. A 1956 F-100 does have a small heater OR a defroster, but not both at once, so it was a cold ride home. That's my Halloween story from 1981. I spent a whole week's pay from Geotronics (2 hours after school every day) for a memory that will last a lifetime.
@@SteveWhiteDallas what a great memory thanks for sharing.
@@rickrodriguez7118You're welcome. It's definitely one of my favorite memories. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The Rolling Stones in the,70’s too bad you missed it by 50 years.
Went to two,would've been 3 if theyd stayed in Melbourne Australia ...Micks then gf strung herself up,so they turned around and went back to America.
It's like the guitars are singing. So wonderful. My favorite era, the Mick Taylor years.
I've heard that more than once from Stones fans whose opinions I respect.
Allan Ostermann -Saw Mick Taylor with them at the Hollywood Palladium in 1972. Definitely a superior guitarist. Maybe too good for rockers who like three-chord simplicity (like me).
I so agree. Mick Taylor was it. Him leaving the stones was a catastrophe
josh B - But did you ever consider he might have been TOO good for the kind of band the Stones are? Would the Beatles have been better if Buddy Rich or Max Roach replaced Ringo? They were definitely better drummers, but was that what the Beatles needed? The Stones keep their music primitive for people like me who can’t tell what key they’re in and don’t mind if Keith and Ron are sloppy. Chicago could have used Mick Taylor when they lost Terry Kath; Taylor was more on their level. His talent was wasted in a band that wasn’t headed in the same direction.
caseyjoanz Then why are the best albums of the stones the ones Mick Taylor was on. Mick Taylor is a blues-rock guitarist, he’s not Jeff Beck or someone like that.
This proves once again that Keith Richards is the best. WOW !!
Keith really kicks it in with Mick Taylor finishing off brilliantly....
This is the album the hooked me way back in 72..Been a HUGE fan ever since and see em every tour !!! Greatest of al time and gonna seeem in June in hilly - Can't wait !!!!
A solo is one thing, composing the song is another. Thank You Keith for all those fucking great songs that guitarist everywhere can solo over.
Now THAT is the true essence of what made Keith "great" , very cool rhythms with the open G .....
Amazing. I ve always thought of this as one of the best solos in history. Keith was raw. Mick Taylor was smooth. Get your ya ya ya yas out!🍀🎸
.I wish they,get it right The founder,s of rolling stones --- were Brian Jones dick Taylor & Ian Stewart // not Mick & Keith they came later
That really IS one AWESOME groove they're in! Wow!
I have always enjoyed listening to Taylor's playing.
me too. he made the live shows great. after he left, their concerts were sameness.
When Keith goes back to rhythm everything just lines up perfectly. Everyone in their zone
true
Absolutely
Listen to Keith's solo on the studio version, no Mick Taylor around at that time...
To me Keith's rhythm is unmatched
This is off the live album "Get you're ya ya's out" and is without doubt one of the best solos ever.
Keith’s solo here is so simple good I’ve had it in my head all my life. And yes I can play it note for note too. Simple but profound with so few notes involved!
True, but most of the riffs are borrowed from Chuck Berry and Scotty Moore. All guitarists borrow stuff from other players, but the better ones try to do something more with it. That stuff Mick Taylor plays going up and down the neck is reminiscent of country great Jerry Reed. But he uses it as a springboard instead of sticking with it. Keith was in his prime at this Ya-Yas point, and was responsible for most of the musical input on my favorite Stones album, Beggars Banquet. But as others have noted, the entire group lost its way and a significant portion of its fans as the 1970s went on. The title of "Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band" was taken over by Zeppelin in 1975 or so, and then a combo of punk, disco and MTV rendered hard rock a niche genre. It only exists now in the memories of Boomers and those interested in exploring the repositories of this music on this platform, Spotify and others.
It’s not Keith. It’s Mick (not “Mich”) Taylor.
❤️ This is one of my favorite gospel songs
the Mick Taylor years , when he was in they rocked like a bastard
+Real ale Madrid Mick Taylor is, for my money, the best guitar soloist the Stones ever had. Not taking anything away from Keith, of course, but Taylor was inspired. "Time Waits for No One" is my fave. Pity he didn't fit in better with the rest of the band.
He didn't fit in because he smoked Richards arse as a lead guitar player, that's why Woody was chosen to replace Taylor who was also ripped over song writing credits and remuneration.
Choccy
I’m agree... best solo guitar ever 😍
@@benbeck1 i always thought keith was a rhythm guitarist and mick was lead.
First solo is Keith. Then Mick Taylor comes swooping in like a hawk and nimbly slides up and down the neck like the master he is with that signature vibrato.
and Keith has another.line thats why he S!UX
Taylor blew Richards away.
MT when asked if he regretted leaving the Stones replied that a better question was did he regret joining
So good he was a really tasty player
@kristal knox But he can spell Keith properly so there is that, are you sure your last name isn’t meth? LMAO at ignorant people like you that don’t know squat.
He always was brilliant. RIP Charlie...you are sadly missed!
I saw their/his last show in Hollywood Fl.
Keith played better than he would have if Mick Taylor wasn't there. They were killing it all the way.
Keith is straight up and Mick T. paints a masterpiece.
This recording exemplifies the ancient art of weave. The finest example. Thanks for recognizing. Chuck Berry in slow-mo.
slow mo & slow energy timing i would say :-)
Truly as Keith absolutely revered Chuck Berry. Said he listened watched him for hours on end throughout his long career.
The look on Keith's face wouldve been a smile. He created that jam. He wrote it. His solo set the time and the key and the tone. If you listen to the corresponding comp chords.. You'll hear Keith soloing over a very sterile comp. When mick solos over Keith... Keith is slamming,, Slashing... Creating the voice.. The vibe... That allows micks solo to happen. And he loves what he hears.. He loves playing rhythm. Keith is not selfish.. He's a catalyst. He never demands the lead. I've come to appreciate his musical genius and humility. I believe in synergy
This sounds like shit. Really unlistenable shit. And the solo is shit too. What a clown Richards is. Thinking of his silly moves; if you're going to look and behave like that on stage, you'd better be able to back it up with some truly godlike playing, otherwise it'd just be sad. But as we all know, Richards can't do that beacuse ha can't play for shit. (But I'll admit he's composed some very nice riffs).
Mick's solo on this recording is phenomenal.
Mick Taylor, very underrated, simply great.
I'm 68 years old and still remember this band, grew up listening to this band.
I'm 72 and still listening to them. This record is just one reason why.
Let’s not forget Charlie! Keeping up with this beautiful endeavor! Beautiful!
Just got home fron my 5th Rolling Stones Concert. This time @ US Bank Stadium, Mpls., MN. The No Filter Tour Oct. 24, 2021. Fantastic concert. Charlie was definitely missed greatly but Keith, Mick & Woody put on a fantastic Show!
When your video title includes the word 'ever' and you have over 90% upvotes, you know you nailed it.
This channel also has a 2nd video posted in 2009, "Best Guitar solo ever, Pink Floyd"... and it only has 37,000 hits.. this stones one has 5.4 million !
People love the stones !
I"ll take Mark K. any day.
donald and hillary both gota lot of votes. putin has a lot of fans. i don't take this as proof of anything other than marketing. maybe fox and sky loves the stones? by the way, so do i. midnight rambler gimme shelter [though not with the ga ga]right back to brian jones. good shit!
For all the haters , Keefs playing is what gives the stones their unique sound , he must be doing something right to be still touring 50 years on
+Kevin Jones Seems only a small minority know this. A shame.
+pup lover Keith plays it like no one else Stone magic
A lot of people are impressed by shredding . But it's technique that defines sound and style . I can name just a few that had techniques that influenced generation(s) , and Keith Richards is one of them .
+Kevin Jones YES
There's a reason that when they had _guitarists_ (real ones :-) choose the Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists that Keef was number 5, right behind Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, and Page. He's an amazing creator and truly master of the alternate tunings and five string.
Forget the technical element, the structure or the complexity, listen to the soul and energy that makes it unique.
I agree...and that is what opinion I also hold...they put out a mid-range sonic wall, but you only need a large amp and a good sound guy. I listen to the clutch of RUclips Gals...sitting with their 12-15 inch single amp...some pedal effects, and no tricks...no editing...no corrections by the sound guy and the tons of post-production filters before it hits the crowd...and sit there amazed...at the speed, accurate fingerboard work, and hope they are at least making some money via RUclips clicks, to pay for their equipment. They certainly awe and entertain me...that is for sure!
I hate anything that is too technical
The Stones with Mick Taylor...their best lineup ever. Okay, Brian Jones certainly added musicality to the band and they lost a lot when he left but Mick Taylor's playing was spot on every night.
Peter Marquard - I saw Mick Taylor play solo in a small club in Boston inn the nineties. He was incredible and told of his leaving the band. But he joked about it. He said apparently the Stones managed OK without him. When he talked about if he regretted it he said .... "it was the biggest mistake he ever made".
@@blipco5 I knew exactly what track was going to be highlighted here: It was really Mick Taylor's break that did something new and exciting but within the RnR framework. Mick did what a soloist should do, that is, thinking and feeling via a fretboard. It was an excellent break and one I listened to over and over when "Ya Yas " was new.
El mas grande es Jimmy Page
The stones are rock and roll it just saddens me that there is one person missing R. I. P. BRIAN JONES
junkey bastard he would have ruined the stones
I give thumps up because,I completely agree with your thought.
Saddens me deeply with his loss.
he was just one junkie in a band of junkies. the junkies that didn't die ruined the band.
FUK Brian Jones , he was a turd, that floated in a pool.
fuk Brian Jones
Can't You Hear Me Knocking is my personal favorite, especially the loose jam feel near the end.
The GREATEST ROCK N ROLL SHOW ON THE PLANET!
When Stones did their STP show,I saw them in San Diego,and enjoyed every bit of them!
I love Keith - he's always been the Stone's heart & soul - but the guitar player here is Mr. Taylor. MT elevated the Stone's musicianship - their best period, in my opinion.
No the first guitar solo is keith.
@@axelibrotherus3526 Obviously, that's my point - the "real" solo is Taylor. First effort is stiff, lifeless. Keith's a great riffmeister - but lacks a great lead player's tools.
@@mikeroberts9501 well thats an interesting opinion. In my opinion keith's solo tells a story and how he builds up tention is really something I admire. Taylor solo is also great, but in a diferent way. He goes full on shredding and is a really skillfull player and thats also what I admire.

These were: *The Keith Richard Years!*
(& Jagger, of course)
It's the songcraft, man.
Writing a song isn't _'comin'-up-with-a-riff'._
It's arrangement/melody/lyrics/breaks/bridges/the 'hook'. And, making it all sound fresh, unique, & effortless.
I've played with many guitarists who think that _'neat little riff'_ they created in the 'wee-hours' has the makings of a song. Or making one of those _'noodle-songs',_ like the _'shredders'_ do. Guys like Vai/Malmsteen/Johnson/Schenkner/Satriani. Flittin' up & down the fretboard. It's more fun for the player than the audience.
'Sway', 'Till The Next Time...', 'Winter', (et al) were the exceptions. Taylor _'helped'_ Jagger create a few songs. But, without him; Those songs would have STILL been written!
(incl. 'Moonlight Mile')
Lead solos are like sax/harp/piano fills.
They're The Sauce!
Mick Taylor greatly enhanced the songs they were writing for 'Sticky Fingers' & 'Exile...'
And, he made them a better live band.
But, there were 10 other guys who could have done just as good.
Peter Green/Kim Simmonds/Rory Gallagher/Eric Clapton/etc.
Keef is part of the 2nd best songwriting team in history. And he did it with his guitar.
Have you heard his solos on the studio version of this song? He played the (electric) rhythm & bass parts as well.
Not too complicated. But very cool!
They were considered iconic at the time.
Peace. Stay Healthy!

@@jellobiafra2810 I'm keenly aware of "song craft." Great smooth, fluid and melodic solos are much more than "the sauce" - they're the 'glue" that holds it all together - creating a flowing, hypnotic groove that pulls the listener in. Ever listen to Coltrane, Miles Davis? I agree on Clapton or Green - both brilliant instrumentalists, but few others in the rock genre can compare to Taylor. Certainly not Gallagher nor Simmonds - just not at the same level.
All of them have improved with the passing of time. Eric Clapton did not go unnoticed by any of them, They are very professional. And Mick Taylor certainly left his mark in 1969- 1975.
I 'm not big o technical players. I love Hendrix and Eddie Hazel, but I also adore Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) and James Wiliamson (Stooges). But the truth is that Keef's just a really shitty guitar player. His timing and the way he bends notes is just primitive (not in the good way). You've gotta have at least some technique. I mean, even Jones and Williamson are very slick technically compared to Keef. The Stones sound came about when they wanted to play like their black american idols, but the didn't have enough talent to pull it off, so instead it became... this shit. I'll admit Keef's written some very nice riffs, and Mick is a charismatic frontman but as a band, they make me think of some bird that only moves about through walking because it's too deformed to take off and fly.
Be well.
Peace...
Keith is perfect for the Stones...He adds bits n' pieces to their music that are simply, Perfect. Love to listen to 'Time waits for no one'...Mick is so melodic, fluid, and musical. With feeling. For example. What He did with 'Moonlight Mile' is so fine.
Didn't know about the Royalties Biz..But that sounds like the 'Glimmer Twins' to me.
Rn'R band. One and only. And so capable with 'Ballads' and beautiful songs that are far from the usual rock n' roll. And it's clear these are another piece of The Rolling Stones' .
Why such Bastards? I have to put it aside. They are timeless...and the One & Only.
Keith is The Stones, they can replace Mick Jagger, proof is in solo careers and the Faces with Keith Richards.
I first heard this solo 50 years ago and nothing since has had the same inpact on me. Ger yer ya yas out is the best
Mick Taylor crushed this .Legend
I totally agree
Once asked this girl to dance, as i had a crush on her, and this song came on as I led her onto the floor, as much as I like the Stones, i was dead, this is the most hellish song to try and be cool too, let alone dance too. I did not score.
At least you can look back and laugh
+John Massoud thats for sure
Max-Andrew McMillan fuck just let go.... The Hell with bein "cool"
Fuck yea , shake it like no one else is there , who really cares ?
She probably did you a favor.
The best band the world has known, loved them as a kid, still loving them as an old man lol
Actually, this is Keith on the first part. Then Mick Taylor at second half of solo. But still my all time favorite version of this song.
Duh

Hello how are you doing 😊
Both solos are extraordinary.
Listen to Keith's rythym playing during Taylor's solo though.
It is what sets Mr. Richards apart from virtually any other Rock Guitarist.
Like Keith has said:
"You've got Rock Music. A whole LOT of Rock Music. But what's missing?
The Roll. You've gotta have that Roll, baby . . or it ain't Rock and Roll."
I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)!
Well said! Tell it to the boneheads attacking @Kevin Jones. Why they think the guy playing lead at any given time is the 'better-guitarist' is beyond me.
- Dave B.
Great point! Right about Keith's rythymn here. I always listen close and marvel at what I hear him doing. From this album, check him out also on "Love In Vain" and "Street Fighting Man" doing the same thing. From then on, he has since become an absolute master of something he says he loves, mixing and layering multiple guitar parts together to get amazing sound and feeling greater than the sum of their parts. i.e. the Beatles, "I Want You (She's So Heavy) No wonder, "Keef, cannot be killed by conventional weapons!" ✌
More cow bell baby
Not many better than Mr. Taylor
Extraordinary??? give yer head a shake.
See them five times. Each time was just great, never a mediocre show. Best one was in DC. Still have my original Sticky Fingers T Shirt
I've still got my sticky fingers tattoo! not much to look at after 50+ yrs. though.
That was great. Love Keith!
The energy of the happy moody rythm is an expression of a free soul amidst a pandemic world.
I would say fascist World. Viruses are not political agents.
Those two were magic together. Keith produced some wonderful sounds, chordal inversions & riffs,mostly due to open tunings, but Mick was definitely the virtuoso on the instrument. Solo 1 Keith...The rest Mick Taylor.
Keefs limitations were obvious early on to all producers(Jimmy Millar etc) hence the addition of R Cooder (To which Keef threw the toys outa the pram and went A.W.O.L. for a few days) and other guitarists on the early albums - Mick T brought the best out of the lazy/stoned Keef and coupled along with the late Bobby Keys R.I.P. They made the Stones the best R & R band bar none - With the exit of Taylor they became a pale parody of the band of the 60's and 70's - ergo not written a decent tune in 20yrs !. . . .Thankfully Taylor is Giggin again with them and makin a few bob to compensate for not havin writin credits as promised and most surely deserved on Sticky fingers , Let it bleed and Exile on main street ! ! ! !
asterixthekerryman Thanks. Agree. Although Keith was somewhat pedestrian, he produced some wonderful sounds, which only work the way he put them together. Furthermore, I like his philosophy of rehearsing, till a sound is tight as a drum... & then loosening it up a notch, so it sounds like a Saturday night bar gig.
Russ Adams Yep ,still doin note perfect gigs by all accounts (Most nights ) Maybe im biased, def old lol but 4 me ,Taylor + Keys Solo's have not been equalled since, which is not to say Wood + Richards don't cut it ,just my preference for Taylors style and he had ,I.M.O. better songs to work with !
Russ Adams Somewhat pedestrian? Who are you trying to impress? You could do better could you? Lol, what a joke.
MrAlsfan5 It's no secret...& compared to Mick Taylor in those days he was...& still is. Speed was not the strength of his playing style, & still isn't. Not trying to impress. I'm glad you think it's funny. Buggered if I know why though.
Mick Taylor was the best guitarist in that band. I love the Stones
The music and song are brilliant!
Best guitar solo for Rolling Stones, that's about it.
stilz0 Sorry you missed one . but it's Mick not Keith Think it sucks clean out your ears... No offence .. ruclips.net/video/4oPInSfh6H4/видео.html
@@paullevine1813 A bit sensitive? He didn't claim it sucked.
Hello 😊
That's pure Mick Taylor (Stones best guitarist ever) with an awesome Keith (the heart and soul of the Stones) playing rhythm. Tear it up, boys...
My favorite version too. This song inspired me to play guitar.
So happy to be alive for this.
The First Solo is Keith. Mick Taylor's solo starts around 1:20
Micks solo is quality
I love the rolling stones!! Keith richards i love 'em all!!
Love it 🇩🇰🙂 you the best Keith Richards
To be there was soooooo awesome!!!💕💕💕
I was there; what an unbelievable concert. Mick Taylor was amazing.
Wher was that?
@@chikiricki1986 New York City, Madison Square Garden, November 1969.
@@smoorej woow.
I was born in morroco in 1986.
And you said you ve been there before I was born 🤣.
Nice 👍👍👍
The world is a better place because of the Stones.
you got that right !

The World IS the Stones..They’re just sharing it with us
It's only rock and roll.
after KEITH's solo come some WONDERS OF TAYLOR
Its only rock n roll..... but i like it.. Props to RW too.
At from 1:18 to 1:22 that sort of hand-off switch from lead to rhythm and rhythm to lead (Keith to Mick T and Mick T to Keith) is one of my favorite moments in the history of rock and roll. The solos are...words fail me. As philosophers like to say, this is the thing in itself.

Hendrix is the King. Nothing like him before or after. I sat 20 feet from the stage at Woodstock as the sun began its rise on the horizon. The Star Spangled Banner flowing into the river of Purple Haze. It is seared into my brain.
I was fortunate to see Hendrix the following May in Toronto. 💗💗💗
Unforgettable.
I'm not jealous, oh no, no, no.😢
I agree...but also, for technical riff skill...AC/DC, Eric Clapton, Van Halen...they all went and do go beyond the pale...but these latest crop of RUclips Gals...WOW...WOW...WOW...and I'm not even adding 'points', because they are female, and usually not a heavy lead guitarist presence, nope...just human beings picking up a guitar, and making it cry! Both electric as well as acoustic. These gals...sitting in their bedrooms, sitting in their living rooms, sitting down in the Family Room...are simply amazing technical guitarists, for (I only assume) self-taught. Some might have Conservatory backgrounds, I'd imagine.
it was pouring out...no sun.
Hendrix would be the last act of the entire festival and delivered his headline show at 8:30 am on Monday morning, no doubt performing to the most hardcore of festival-goers who had decided not to call it a day early due to the weather as most people did.
The groove is incredible!
Mick and Keith were great, so is Ron and Keith, all incredible, get yet Yaya's out beyond incredible, hard to say who is best as they have their own style but we have been blessed with incredible sounds for fifty years ish, you can post this is the best or that is but it's all personal preference, and the mood of the moment. It's all great, I heard fantastic sounds back in the seventies early ,it was a stones bootleg some one told me ,I loved it ,then I was in a Zodiac car ,the driver Big Tam was playing let's spend the night together on eight track, just incredible, what more can you say.
To all the Haters keep watching Keith’s performances and keep on with all the silly remarks as you obviously keep listening and watching. Long live the myth, the legend, the one and Only Keith Richards...😎👌🎶🇨🇦
Get Yer Ya Yas Out is one of the most underrated live albums ever. Stupendous!
Robert Hagen
Underrated? It has been praised The Best Live Album Ever etc. countless times. If anything, this album is overrated. Listen to Brussels Affairs. Now that’s a good live album from one of the last shows they played with Mick Taylor in the band. Everybody shines and it is 100% live, unlike Ya Ya‘s which the band took the studio for re-recordings and overdubs in a big way.
The best live album!!!!
