Mick Taylor and Carla Olson - Winter (first version)

- Studio recording of the Stones song Winter by Mick Taylor and Carla Olson (June 2000), first version. See for the SECOND version here, it's great too: • Mick Taylor and Carla ...
It’s been said a million times. I’ll add my vote. Mick Taylor’s playing with the Stones was unrepeatable and pure magic. Someone else already said it - Mr. Taylor became a member of a band that was right on the edge of true jaw-dropping greatness, and pushed them over to that level for six never-to-be-recaptured years.
TOTALLY AGREE
Just as good if not better than. Clapton
@Bob Leton Clapton was in quality the fourth or fifth member of John Mayall, the number one the Great Peter Green of course, second Mick Taylor, third Buddy Whittington. With all due respect is my opinion. Greetings Bob. ✌️
@Bob Leton Greetings Bob ✌️
I feel like his playing goes straight to the emotional parts of the brain. You **feel** his playing as much or more than you **hear** it - I can't exactly explain it. Also no doubt that the MT period was associated with some great compositions including this one - MT says that he wasn't given proper writing credit - we'll probably never know for sure there but between his playing and the great songs that he could improvise to - you get the quality like you hear here.
The Rolling Stones are terrific, no doubt about it. But Mick Taylor gave them another dimension.
Maybe it's the Stones who gives another dimension to Taylor ?????
With the Bluesbreakers in '66-68 Mick was a pure bluesman and carried that band. With the Stones he got to play on some of the best blues rock songs ever written and he benefitted from the new dimension, and the Stones got back to their blues roots with Mick Taylor.
God bless Mick Taylor. Easily the best, most melodic and inventive guitar player of his generation. Absolutely incendiary. I put him in the same category as Miles Davis and Coltrane. And no, that is not a joke.
Agreed! And I'm a Miles and Coltrane fan!
Yes got that right Mick Taylor is the man
AMEN TO THIS
You I believe are correct. He was so good. He really was. Didn't he replace Eric Clapton ? I think he was involved with that band. And then u have the yardbirds. Wow. In this video as it shows pictures it shows Hendrix and Mick Taylor backstage somewhere. I remember Brian Jones and Hendrix were thinking about starting a band. I will say what an Era!! Nothing like it. The music the bands !! Thank God for recordings !!!!
What makes a guitarist great? I think its more then just being technically proficent. The songs about a long cold lonely winter and Taylor's solo is just that. It's cold its desolate it's lonely and it's f***ing beautiful. 100's of guitarists could have hit the notes but only MT could have made it feel the way it was supposed to feel and for me thats what makes him great. Glad so many of you guys feel the same way
Well said.
The CORE of my Rolling Stones left with Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman. And now Charlie Watts left, forever.
Wonderful version. Never heard this before.
Love and send it to your safe keeping! Because it’s worth saving
Mick Taylor's playing always moves me, it has this emotional vibe to it. Such a pure musician. When Taylor left the Stones, the magic was gone in my humble opinion.
The group never got back to greatest. Some Girls was good. Thats when they let Ronnie play. Then it was all choreographed
I stopped buying Stones albums when Mick left. Not close to being as great without him.
A guitar legend. His vibrato is so tasty and pure. The Stones best years were with him.
Love The Stones always have, but I'll say this. having Mick Taylor in the band was the only thing that gave their claim to being the "Greatest rock and roll band in the world" and validity. Didn't stay around nearly long enough too bad for The Stones and too bad for those of us who appreciated his talents
Stones are ok without MT. But only OK.
He didn't stay because of how he was treated. Clapton begged him not to join the Stones and he did anyway. He carried the load musically when he was there,and got paid next to nothing. He lived the life, he just never saw any real serious money. He ate and drank and well. He got any woman he wanted. He was promised songwriting credits for songs like Sway,Moonlight Mile, Waiting on a Friend and others for which he was later told no. When he joined the Stones he was a very health conscious vegetarian. When he left he was a heroin addict. He is still owed millions of dollars by the Stones which he will never see. No way to treat someone.
HE said if he'd stayed he'd be dead....
@@jamesbowen8960 Oh really....??....who says all this....?...Taylor in a Mommie Dearest memoir....??....he is not owed millions of dollars....they paid him for his playing on Tops on Tattoo You....a mothball track they released with him doing leads....he was never promised song writing credits on these songs you mentioned....Richards did a lot more in studio with leads and over all guitar parts during the Taylor sessions than people realize....besides....they were his compositions....Taylor was a gun for hire lead player who got paid very well to put leads to their songs....a lot more than he ever made after he left....and by the way he left to form a great new super group with Jack Bruce.....a complete flop...the songs were horrible....he had one solo album in the mid 70's and one in 99.....neither did anything.....where is the body of work of incredible songwriting that he wasn't getting credit for.....??....without the Glimmer Twins he was sentenced to being on the Clapton wannabee circuit in small clubs....the Stones continued to thrive getting bigger and better with Woody....a much better fit for the band....the Stones are not a virtuoso band and don't need to be...and millions and millions of fans agree....worldwide....for decades.....and if Taylor started eating meat( a good thing) with the Stones and doing drugs than that's on him.....if he's owed any money than it should be for having to lay down bass lines in the studio because the child molester Bill Wyman ( another cry baby) didn't show up yet again to earn his keep....Wyman can cover that....these guys had the honor and priviledge of playing in the greatest rock and roll band of all time and they want to cry about it.....gimmeabreak.......
@Larry Noletti I am not aware of any book written by Taylor, but his song credits should have been Sway,Moonlight Mile, Time Waits For No One & others. He never got paid like you claim either. Mick & Keith did the same thing with Bobby Keys also. They never paid him but he got to live the life so he stuck around. Jagger and Richards are notorious for being cheap and stingy. This "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band has been a bunch of baloney for years now.They've become the one thing Jagger swore they never would in the 70s. They've become their own tribute band. To me the Stones will always be Brian's band. He named the group. He got the gigs. He enlisted each member. He hired Mick and Keith. He taught Jagger to play harmonica and taught Richards to play guitar as Keith knew exactly 3 chords when he was asked to join. Therefore he literally sat at Brian's feet and learned to play riffs and chord progressions. Now Brian wasn't perfect by any stretch and Charlie said though he got better with time, Brian wasn't a very nice person.However he still should have been treated better. The Stones need to hang it up, they're becoming caricatures of them selves. Mick said back in '76 that he won't be out there when he's 45 yrs old singing "Satisfaction ". Uhhhh no Mick. You'll be 75! LMAO!
I like Ronnie Wood's contribution to the Stones music, but Mick Taylor's departure in the 70-ies (whatever Keith Richards writes and says about it) was and still is a huge loss for the band. When I saw him play live with them in December last year (I saw it on youtube), my concern was only confirmed. The man is great, hats off!
Beautiful!!!!!! Makes me miss the old stones!!! Moon light mile!!!!
Omg thank you!
Mick was on his A game when he played with Carla....Wow ! some very sweet notes he hit on this one. Very clean and on point too.
Very romantic and dreamy guitar playing. Simply wonderful!
Is it just me or does Carla Olsen sound like Chrissy Hynde? Or should I say Chrissy Hynde sounds like Carla? And Mick, what can I say, just brilliant.
From the first time I heard her with the Textones, I thought so too.
She does sound a bit like Chrissy Hynde - thought that right away on this song !
She does sound a bit like Chrissie. That would have been a match made it heaven.
My three favorite guitarists would be Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy & Mick Taylor. Not always in that order. It depends on the day. lol.
I couldn't agree with you more. You could also add Nicky Hopkins to those two. Nicky was also unsung hero to the Stones and they treated him like shit.
Love Nicky. His work on monkey man is brilliant. Is this him playing with this band?
@@bjones8470 No, it's not Nicky, the pianist is playing his fills though.
@@madshadows830 yeah he did a really great job capturing his sound and magic
@hassledguy
I'm doing the best I can, hassled. Good to know people still appreciate Taylor & The Stones so much.
Such an astonishingly fine piece of music.........really beautiful.
I agree with what everyone is saying about Mick Taylor. Best Stones player ever. I miss him in the band. But... do you think their producer Jimmy Miller is to been given a lot of credit for the amazing performances by Mick Taylor? I think so. No sloppy playing at all on any of the Stones records. Tight guitar solos on the Stones records - every note is brilliant. Thanks Jimmy Miller... for getting the best out of Mick Taylor.
Stones haven't made anything worth while since he left
So true Miller is overlooked as a producer he was such big influence on the bands sound
The Jimmy Miller produced Stones albums were the best ever. With Taylor on guitar, sublime too. The Stones still move me at 67 & still love playing live. RIP, dear Charlie.❤️
Amen, brother...
his music , his improvisation is like a kalaidoscope, full of new shapes, feelings, sensations and colours that never repeat...a wizzard with a guitar in his hand!
That's Mick Taylor in a nutshell!
Thank you very , very much for postening this music !!!
Mick´s kind of playing the guitar touches the soul .
To listen that is like being in heaven !
One of the finest moment in the history of rock'n roll: 4:05 to 12:13
yes !
If woods is enough to be a multimillionaire
Why is it that Taylor lives in squaler?
Things that make you go hmmmmmm?
Both can save lives, even Satan lies about people who sell their souls for money and stardom likr Oprah lol
Tout à fait d'accord avec vous.
@@darinhumbert2944Because Ronnie was in the Jeff Beck band and the Faces before the Stones. The Faces were one of the highest grossing touring acts of the early 70s after the Stones.
Ronnie was already rich and famous BEFORE he joined the Stones and also had solo albums he made money from as well as his art that fetches a lot of money. What has mick Taylor done before and after the Stones? If he'd have stuck with the band then he'd be a very rich man today
Possibly best Taylor solo. Stones were cutting edge with him and with Ronnie they settle for comfortable
+Roger Clayton This is just magical. In hindsight, had he stayed,he would have taken the Stones on a magical journey that would have probably created even better than Sticky Fingers. Mick Taylor had to be left to his own devices, as more often than not, he was taking them on his journey...
Yeah Ronnie is pretty good for sure. It’s no accident while Mick was with the Stones. He was part when the Stones truly peeked. And for that I’m at peace 💜
The most talented muscian on the planet. Thank you Tailor for your videos
When I felt alone (after a breakup) during a cold northern Europe winter, Mick's guitar prowess carried me through.
me too man, MT guitar hero.
Happy Birthday Mick Taylor - winter is melodic wonderment
Mick Taylor came up with the riff in Tumbling Dice because Richards couldn't. One of many instances where Taylor showed him up
Just beautiful...After a minute had to pause this and pick up my guitar.... couple of minutes later had to pause again and pour me a drink.. :)
Words can't describe how his playing makes me feel. Fortunate to have seen him solo a while back.
Cheers to all and to @kleermaker1000 for sharing.
the best guitarmen of the world and thanks kleermaker!
MT's doodling is pure ear candy
Mick Taylor = No Compromise
He is just amazing. His melodic solos really complemented the stones well.
Beautiful guitar playing, just sublime. It’s good to listen to him.
This is sooo shocking good!!!! Best Stones guitarist ever!!!
Love mick ❤️ Carla together also me.....the best...
Mick Taylor and Buddy Guy are among my favorite guitarist.
Damn that man can play.
..Mick Taylor can he play that bitching guitar or what This man makes that guitar sound very beautiful it's so sad he is so not received as a great guitar player no other guitar god can get his sound .period
@timkluc
Mick Taylor is currently living in Holland and not in any kind of poverty. That's what I can tell you.
kleermaker1000 great ! Taylor is my god ! I have uploaded on iTunes, it seems exactly he same solo isn’t it ?
Thank goodness
Man his guitar is just crying , powerful stuff , love the Stones but they're a different band without this guy.
Beautiful melody and Mick and Carla and a good combination.
what a beautiful sound from the 59 les paul sunburst
the 5 GOATS in no order ... Jimi, Clapton, Gilmour, Page and Mick (ehh ... Carlos let's make it 6 .. ok?)
top 3 Stones' songs along with Time waits for no one and Can't you hear me knockin'
I would propose Sway as one of the best, too.
... you can definitely add “winter” to that list in my opinion
Moonlight Mile....
Mick Taylor’s playing must have moved a lot of Gibson Les Paul units
Mick Taylor and Jimmy Miller...the two missing pieces of the complete Stones package
And Ian Stewart.
Never forget Nicky Hopkins
The stones had a tremendous impact in the quality of their music after mick Taylor left. The best years were with mick (charlie watts also thought that)
This is great! However this is a LIVE recording. I have the CD Too Hot For Snakes which includes the studio version. The studio version is 11:27 and it's nice. This version is longer and it's GREAT!
how brilliant is this ? Mick Taylor was prob one of worlds greatest....ever.
Thanks for posting, Kleermaker. Great find! Taylor rules ...
M.T. the best Stones' guitar, evah...
Went to 4 stones concerts w/ MT. 1969, 1972 double header and 1973. Nicaragua charity concert. Very lLuckey
Wonderful guitar playing Mr. Taylor and beautiful singing Ms. Olson but let us not forget who wrote this lovely song. Thanks to you all.
@@Kleermaker1000 Huge Keith fan, but he was a miserable poacher of other peoples' works (Re: Ron Wood- It's Only Rock and Roll)).
Wrote by Jagger/Taylor.
1969-1974, glad i was young enough and old enough to have had Mick Taylor influence my musical choices. Those years with 'The Greatest Band In The World' will live forever in my soul !
Always a musician and blues advocate foremost , never a rock star guitarist. Thank you sir !
Seems so effortless for him .. sounds like he could’ve gone on for another hour, (kinda wish he had)
Oh crap! I scrolled down the comments & noticed I repeated myself. Old age speaking here. lol!
No problem, just keep on living and listening. :)
Oh Lord. God bless Mick Taylor. This one sends me from the get go no matter which version it is. Bears saying as well, NO VOICE tops Mick Jagger's. Like no guitar tops Mick Taylor's. They are just worlds of their own, nobody can touch them.
@mtaylor1969ful Yeah, and I hear Mick Taylor is living in virtual poverty in England...hearing things like that dampens the quality of the music for me at times. The glimmer gluttons owe him every penny of the royalties he deserves from "the golden era". Apparently, he hasn't got a cent from the Stones since '82. Feel free to correct me on that if I'm wrong, but it's hard to respect bands who act like this...Gilmour from Floyd was an example of the good...made sure Barrett got his money.
I shook hands with Mick Taylor on the King's Road London last year. He looked very well and seemed happy.
Mick got paid 2 mil for the 50 year anniversary tour
Thanks a lot for postening this video !
It´s just great !!
Like Mick is playing the guitar touches the soul , the heart !!
It ´s a reasong for beeing tomorrow .
this version always takes me away
Wow
mick the man, IMO he was very under rated by far the best guitar the stones ever had, he has his own sound and every note is perfect, carlas voice is sweet, love the stones, mick and keith wrote the best tunes of my generation
Carla sings and Taylor plays the solo guitar. Without any doubt.
Incredible.
Wow! I just don’t know what to say. My jaw hit the floor.
mick taylor is awesome !
I was 16 when Taylor left the Stones and wanted to cry. I wanted to cry again when they decided not to bring Wayne Perkins into the band.
@coatesy29 de acuerdo!!!!!
ALL the stones were, are Great. Don't belittle any. Especially Brian, all haters lay by your dish.
Some of the best chops in rock and roll. MT gave the Stones a feel they've never been able to re-capture, not even close
Damn he's got some great tone!
Awesome guitar player Taylor
Actually Brian wasn't much of a writer,but he did write Ruby Tuesday and Jumping Jack Flash. Jagger readily admits that he had nothing to do with Ruby Tuesday. Bill Wyman said he and Brian were working on the melody of Jumping Jack Flash before M&K grabbed it. As far as the chemistry between Ron Wood & Keith I just don't see it. The guitar weaving started with Brian. The Stones have put out 2 decent albums since 1980. Nothing great about that. They've become their own tribute band. People are sentimental towards them, that's why they still go. I last saw them in 94 & I walked out of the show it was so bad. Steel Wheels was when they last sounded good. That halftime show at the Super Bowl was embarrassing. Mick & Keith have written some good songs but it's been a long time since.
I have my doubts about the song writing Brian did. I don't think he wrote RT and as for JJF: Bill claimed that he invented the opening riff and that's it.
Mick Taylor is an amazing guitarist, one off better
Amazing.
How could any Stones pass the opportunity to listen to this over and over 💜
Mick Taylor's sound,right from the 💖👍😆
SO TOTALLY AGREE MATE ! MT PLAYS BEAUTIFUL MELODIC BLUES -WHETHER PART OF ANOTHER GROUP OR STAND ALONE ARTIST
Jimi thaught Mick those hammer-ons and pull-offs really well
I'll always wonder if the Stone's would have been as successful after Mick left the band if they didn't have the glory years with Mick to make them famous????
I also think the albums they made with Mick Taylor carried them through the years, they owe him so much, but will not give him credit much less royalties.
Brian Jones opened the way to the top with artistic variety. But Mick Taylor laid a concrete atristic foundation on witch the Stones could move for decades, even with some slips. And this artistic foundation wil remain forever…
Does anyone know who the piano player is?
Mr Richards could never...
Love seeing all the comments on here. He deserves so much credit. Love the song winter. As usual leas guitar with awesome sound.Wow. Huge contribution to Stones. Just thinking of the guitar on the song All Down the Line. I could listen to his playing all day.
it is over, we have got 6 years for eternity.... this is just nice smooth air...
Yeah this guy can play guitar, reminds me of Keith Emerson in some ways. I like version 1 a bit better than 2 too, thanks kleemaker1000
I agree with Mr Butler Mick made anyone he played with a better concept of themselves
Incomparable el estilo de Mick Taylor, como en todas sus interpretaciones, inconfundible, me rindo a su técnica, buenísimo, lo escucho una y otra vez y no me canso.
tHIS IS FUCKIN DOPE WHERE HAS THIS BEEN BEST VERSION I HEARD
Einfach genial.🤩😎
...¡¡¡ Qué bonito...!!! Happy new 2020 tHe New Crazy Years !!!!
juste immense ! quelle perte pour les stones de l'avoir évincé ! jagger, je te hais !
It was Keith in particular ...
He left of his own accord because of his worsening heroin addiction, he says this himself, he wanted to get away from the groupies,hangers on,drug dealers etc and all the general madness that came with bring in the stones. He also felt he was owed songwriting credits on sway,moonlight mile and couple of others. He told Mick Jagger at a party that he was leaving the band and Jagger begged him to stay,they were gutted when he left. Yes Keith did treat him bad sometimes but nobody forced him to leave
I'm sorry but you don't really think that Carla is playing the guitar solo do you?
This song has disappeared from itunes and spotify! It previously was available there on a carla olsen double album that included the live record... but it is now gone! WTF!
I once had a conversation with Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes in a bar... and we got to talking about Mick Taylor... and he said Taylor’s playing on this was his idea of perfect guitar playing... and he was, of course, correct.
A class act
I had the privilege of him seeing him play when I was quite young. Still love this guy’s playing.
FANTASTIC.
Mick T wrote arranged a lot of stones work on sticky f exile gateshead soup only rock'n roll. Jagger only did lyrics jagger s lyrics all had us states or towns in them. All he had t do was mention Mick T Co wrote the songs he didn't. Mick left. Stones ended up with Keith's London drug friend Wood. As much good as a chocolate fireplace.
Taylor's feel-so beautiful!
WOW!!!
