Turn your children on to this song and The Rolling Stones. We lived in the golden age of Music for about three decades, back when musicians actually played music, wrote their own songs and worked long hard hours to perfect their craft. Songs like this are no fluke. Spread the word of underrated gems like this, Moonlight Mile" and "Shine A Light.". We still hear you, Mick Taylor.
@@lenholmes5573 it's a very very beautiful song indeed. I love it so much. And Mick Taylor adds so much to it I love how he plays the sounds he creates. It really is a beautiful song.
You are 100% right About the music we grew up with They were real music I'm so glad I grew up listening too that golden age of music And yes Winter And Moonlite mile are very beautiful songs I've been a Rolling Stones fan since 1966 And when people ask me what's my favorite Rolling Stones song is I immediately say MOONLIGHT MILE ♥️👍
Mick Taylor was able to capture the sound of silent snow falling on a mountain. he is one of those rare ones who could turn his instrument into a paint brush.
This is such a breathtaking song------the beauty of the melody, plus M Jagger's stunning vocals & M Taylor's soaring guitar work. This is the Stones at the peak of their career.
One of the best guitarists in the world, with a phenomenal solo from rock-blues history. It's a shame that he doesn't play with the Stones anymore. The piece has so much feeling that I could listen for hours.👌
Please stop saying Mick is "so underated" he has always been admired and aknowleged as more than a great influence in Rolling Stones history......maybe Mick'n'Keef should shout out that fact more often and pay the guy back some love.....the Mick albums would've been so different (naffer) without his input thats for sure. Respect to you Mick Taylor.
Mick Taylors "conversation" with this song...his interpretation of the essence of Winter.. is incredible as always.....Jagger sings the words and Taylor wails the emotions...and together its a blizzard of huge proportions......
Can you believe some jealous group of people (small minority) call it noodling? You're description of how Taylor makes you feel is excellent. He perfectly encapsulates the songs he plays on, every single time. He could not ever be beat, it's beyond technique with him. He's a beautiful and extraordinary guitarist. A musician's musician if there ever was one.
Yes Mick Taylor Those years oh how I loved them Mick Taylor very shy guy buy a fantastic musician he truly was He did all the music on Moonlight mile End that's my favorite Rolling Stones song I'm a die hard Rolling Stones fan since 1965 But if it wasn't Mick Taylor we would have never gotten that great music out of The Rolling Stones I met Mick Taylor 4 times in 1999 on Long Island Ny And he always seemed very depressed I seen him in a very small restaurant in East Hampton On Long Island Got his autograph Then I seen his show I sat in the first row I was so close to him I could have touched his guitar And The Man Blew Me Away He was so awesome
I love this song. It gives me the same feel today, as it did when I first heard it 37 years ago. Thank you Mick Jagger for the voice that allows this song to be only sung by Jagger. His voice is so fitting. And thanks to Mick Taylor. The amazing fluid-like guitar playing he's so natural at.
Mick Taylor: The most UNDERRATED guitarist in Rock N Roll. The Stones were never the same without him. This is an awesome video! I can smell the cold, crisp air blowing off those snow-covered pine trees. Beautiful!
@@johanmarnfeldt5262 The greatest mistake the Stones ever made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK, to keep Mick Taylor in the band. For starters, they could have PAID him. He was given no credits on SEVERAL albums---in other words, no residuals. In addition, his mates should have helped him with drug addiction and got him the help he needed to stay with the band. They did not... With all due respect to Keith Richards---on Mick Taylor's WORSE DAY, Keef couldn't hold a candle to him. Make no mistake, Keith Richards is a very good guitarist. Mick Taylor is a GREAT guitarist. A guitar genius. Right up there with Hendrix, Clapton, and Santana. No doubt about it. The five albums he produced with the Stones from '69-'74 are all classics. The band was never the same after 1974.
+Kev G. yes now he matured from an idealistic young man ,it hasn't gone the way he wanted and now he's s fat, bitter old man, it's sad, but even come his youth that's about the craziest decision in Rock history to me. in reality through he never looked comfortable with the Stones just watch the videos. Ronnie Wood was ,perfect fit like s hand and glove, in personality and he and Kieth Richards weave in and out together. You know Mick Taylor was only with the Stones only a few years in the seventies ,Ronnie had been with them 45 years, good grief Taylor fans get over it.as a final note Mick Jagger didn't want him to leave and tried to talk him out of quitting,that's pretty humble for Mick Jagger, Taylor had only himself to blame for screwing up his life,I don't even feel sorry for him he passed on a one in a million opportunity for immortality.
@@SuperAnimelover100 Jones is massively overrated and only spoken of with such reverence because he managed to drown himself or provoke someone else to do it for him. The legend is far greater than the truth. Jones was instrumental in forming the band and its early direction, but he became peripheral when it was obvious that Jagger/Richards were the creative engine behind songwriting. Jones adding occasionally odd musical instrumentation does not a genius make.
Magnificent & who says "guitars can't speak or weep". Mick Taylor, what a feeling he gave to his nuanced solos. "How the guitar dips & then soars, imagine this brilliance cut from the master, lying unfurled, discarded, on some recording studio's floor".
It was an era that had a different flavor, but the beginning years with all the great covers and the years when they learned to write their own materials were great too. Was one better than another, not to me, I like them all equally and listen to the oldest stuff to the newest.
agree ; it was fifty fifty...the greatest initiator the stones ever had was brian jones, the greatest songwriters were jagger /richards and the greatest guitarist was mick taylor.... it is not like the beatles which was clearly a question of lennon and mccartney...
its getting boring when pepole say that ...yeah Mick was a great guitar but that was years ago give it up. these posts make me wonder if they are from Mick Taylor himself ... give me a break
These critics listen to too much, respond differently to things than us Music Heads; and often over value their own opinions. Heard one critic pan GHS and Dancing With Mr. D in particular. What he didn't get was we were record-buying teenagers when this came out; so Mr D resonated with us in a similar way as an Alice Cooper song, yet remained uniquely a Stones thing. Stones Beatles Kinks these bands were genius at borrowing styles and making things their own... and then came the lawyers.
I'm from California but lived in beautiful Northern Israel when Goat's Head Soup came out. Friend of mine there had it, and we used get high and listen to the whole album. This one always made me wistful. Not just the California references, but for me the "Sometimes I wanna WRAP my coat around you, woman!" That and Mick Taylor's guitar. Such beautiful imagery.
Sitting here in the darkness of geoengineered skies. It's 2:30 in the afternoon and looking out at the Rockies with no snow on them. Sure miss the days of sunshine & blue skies. Thanks for this great music to bring up good memories of good days...
maybe it's my age and 12 x 5 was one of my first two albums but I like the Brian Jones years as much.....lots of creativity,.... same general roots but two pretty different sounds...
@@bryanhay2356 No Mick Taylor wasn't ever the Stones he was a guest player who was there during the pinnacle of the Jagger/Richards writing team. They were always the meat of the Stones if you knew the facts and not the bullshit. Satisfaction in 1965 had 0 contribution by Brian Jones. The last time he played the lead guitar on but didn't wirte the song and "As Tears gos By" Jagger/Richards first compostition was given to Marianne Faithful and a hit in 1964. No Brian Jones influence, not to say that Brian didn't contribute or sort of form the band but that's another story I'm sick of writing about. Carrying on, as an example of what many consider to be the "Taylor years" were actually the best of the Jagger/Richards years. During the recording of Beggars Banquet Brian was fading fast. Let it Bleed arguably their best LP was done without Brian or Mick Taylor, Sticky fingers and Exile had more Mick Taylor contribution, playing nice solos in their spot. You know who else did that very well and was nearly if not equally as important to the Stones during that period? Bobby Keys on sax. Jimmy Miller the producer and Nicky Hopkins on piano. The most famous guitar riff from that so called "Taylor years" period actually came from Mick Jagger, that's right! Not Mick Taylor nor keith. Jagger wrote the guitar chords to Brown Sugar. Ry Cooder played the slide guitar on Sister morphine. Taylor claimed to have had deserved some cowriting credit on Sway and Moonlight mile, maybe? But that's about it and he even acknowledged that they were still more Jagger compositions that he added to. ??? Taylor nor Jones were really ever the creative driving force behind the Rolling Stones. They added to oranamentation and were very good at that but neither were song writers. No Jagger/Richards songs, No Rollling Stones.Brian Jones gone, Rolling Stone got bigger, Mick Taylor gone The Rolling Stones kept right rolling. The only problem with the Stones is when Mick and keith had their problems with one another a lot to do with Keith's heroin habit and they still held together as great band, just not quite as great. What 1960's band did stay as great in to the 70' and 80's? None.
There is no doubt he got ripped off by both of them. He was an easy target for them. He was peaceful. Richards alone could be such an ass. Add some alcohol and Jagger to the mix and it is easy to see the two of them intimidating and abusing Mr. Taylor. People today tend to forget ''Street Fighting Man'' and the rough and tumble image the Stones worked hard at weaving. That is until Altamont. And over the years people change and grow. Or they die. Even Keith and Mick.
@sam X If you think they speak highly of him, you don't read much about The Stones. They have largely written him out of their history. The Stones, whose music I love, left quite a trail of people behind them that they used and discarded.
Yes, Mick T. was unfortunately not credited on several best selling songs/albums as much as he should have been; he says so occasionally. the Glimmer Twins kept the money for themselves and MT could use another source of income... Sad. But it's rock n roll. Not pretty, but often sounds great.
I bought this album in 1973, it was my first Stones album purchase. There is some brilliant music on this record. I always loved this track. Nicky Hopkins contributes some magical piano. Keith did not play on the track.
Same here, my brother told me to buy it and obviously, I played the album over and over again till the black vinyl turned grey…then I HAD to have all of their albums…this album plus EOMS definitely are my favourites, mainly because of MT!
My brother bought this album when it came out, and we loved it right out of the gate. Angie was the AM hit at the time, but that song pales in comparison to the rest of this gem. There are absolutely NO weak songs on it. Taylor's guitar playing is at its absolute best here, and on 100 years ago, Silver Train, Heartbreaker, etc. As others have stated, I'd take this and Sticky Fingers as my top two dessert island Stones LPs. So anyway, fast forward about a year to 1974. I stopped by my friend's house and he showed me his older brother's collection of 8 track tapes, which included this one. As I recall, it was encased in pink plastic. I told him I'd trade anything for it, and after thinking about it, he said, 'would you give me that mid-60s 'Bob Clemente' baseball card? I said hell yeah!, not realizing it was actually 'Roberto' Clemente! We kept up that baseball card for big brother's 8 tracks swap for a few weeks until finally he got caught and took a beating from his brother for it. But by then, the damage was done and my 8 track collection was looking mighty sweet! Looking back, I think this is still the best trade either of us have ever made.
you don't think of the stones as having a kind of introspective song like this. "time waits for no one" is kind of like this also. they're usually known more for their faster, harder hitting music. this is very beautiful. i can appreciate mick's vocal range in this one.
@@debrabalinski-long1183 If you like Time for its solo, you have Keith to thank for it. Mick J. wanted it cut and you can hear the cut version on one of the many 70's compilations.
I recently broke up with the love of my life and this song really moves me. And when Taylor hits that first note of the solo, the tears fall like rain.
Same here about Mick Taylor.....saw him in a Portland pub......Maine.....what an experience to hear......My husband and I enjoy local bands as much as super stars.....but dang man when we saw Mick at that pub......different experience......
Wow, 10 years and THIS is still my favorite videos of all time. Has brought me a lot of joy thru the years. My sincere thank you for making and posting and now in 2020 the year of the pandemic it still comforts me great and helps to sooth my nerves. God Bess and thanks again! Simply Fabulous!!
A Master Piece Mick's Playing Takes Me To Some Great Places I Am A Private Session's Musician Play Lead & Bass Been Learning From Mick's Playing For A Long Time But The Man Is So Good It Gets Hard To Ever Come Close To Him Just Practice Thank You For This Video Listen To This All The Time
Just a great piece of music, made even better with Mick Taylor's guitar being a part of it. Listening to this makes me think of my youth and growing up with my cousins, listening to the Stones on vinyl. Thanks for sharing this!
Mark it's from Ring of Truth Mick n Carla Olson from a few years ago14 or so minutes of guitar genius, had the pleasure of meeting and getting his autograph in his dressing room after a gig in Dublin 2001🎸🔥👍
Having snow on the ground on April 13th, here in Minnesota made me want to hear one of my favorite Stones songs from my high school days. Might as well indulge in that deep blue melancholy vibe that Minnesota winters are so good for. I'd never heard Mick Taylor's extended solo before. Majestic!
How can you not cry?? Theres such a beautiful sadness to this song...it really takes you away!!! Most/All stones songs always pumped me up...gave me good energy...feels good!!!...winter...makes me slow-down,get quiet, and let the lyrics hit me!!! (And heres craziest part of all... the stones recorded that song in Jamaica... in the summertime heat... and Keiths not on it... Keith never showed up for the recording..)
I know there wouldn't be any Rolling Stones without Brian Jones, but this from Mick Taylor is just WOW absoloutely FUCKING FREAKING WOW!!!! Mick Taylor vastly underrated, as is Brian Jones!!!
Every version of the Stones is different. Brian brought not only the pretty boy looks, until he got too stoned to function and lost them a bit. Brian was a bluesman who had already been around a while before Mick and Keith met him. Add to that he could play anything with in a few minutes of picking it up. Mick Taylor brought a sweeter more defined lead guitar soloist to the band, Keith has always said they rhythm is his thing and Mick Taylor arriving coincides with a period when the lead guitarist was king. He was perfect for that period of time. Ronnie arrived when music itself was heading backwards towards basic rock and roll, punk was just around the corner, funk was ruliing a lot of the charts, lead guitarists were two a penny and the Stones were getting out of touch. I loved that they took Mick Taylor out on the road with them but it was as much to do with the fact he was close to being broke as anything else. I hated that he only played a couple of numbers but I love the video of him owning the stage behind Jagger much to Ronnie's amusement, even if they do have to rein him in a bit.
Mick Taylor is not underrated by anyone, every comment on a stones song always says ' stones best period was with Mick Taylor. He's rated by millions, yet another idiot who thinks it's cool to say....' so and so ( insert name of extremely famous and respected musician) is underrated. Why do people think it's cool to say someone is underrated, when they are clearly not?
My lifelong best friend would have loved to hear that. He loved this, taught me the solo. Moved to his house, that year in 1973. Taught me how to love. Miss him so much it hurts. This solo hurts in a nice way, brings it all back.
This Version would be so Awesome to hear while shooting Amazing Heroin and laying in a cold, snowy alleyway contemplating an exit from all the pain in this life and reminiscing on the thing that used to be good before everything goes black!!
might feel even better if you were walking home from a job you hate, to a house you hate, on a night filled with disappointment and loneliness, working hard saving your pennies toward a fruitful spring/summer. I've been in your shoes before Arthur, and I've walked that path. One day your going to have to grow up. stick to puffing weed or sipping drinks. If that is your attitude towards hard drugs than may mercy find you well, because you will be needing it. letting disappointment encapsulate you and warp your perception, you soon may be finding it define you. best case scenario you will realize this fault in the years that follow. cheers.
This is a beautiful song 🎵, and amazing video. The Stones just keep taking music 🎶 🎵 to a whole other level of excellence. Mick and the boys are always 2nd to none 🎉🎉
Mick Taylor was with the Rolling Stones from 1969- 1974, many younger RS fans may not be as familiar with his history and contributions. He is considered the greatest Rolling Stones guitarist. A true abstract impressionist. This is a thing of beauty !
Kevin Scott you nailed it. January 29 2023 still my favorite band. My kids grew up listening to classic rock now my grandchildren thank you for your truth
Got to be one of my favorite tracks from "Goat's Head Soup". Just love this extended version: beautiful imagery in both videos. Still, I'd've truly enjoyed seeing the band included, but you can't....Well, you know the rest. Lol. Really, thanks so much for sharing! As usual, you're all generous beyond belief! ♡♡♡♡♡
Stones for me is like the air I need to breathe, in spring, summer, fall & winter. And the solo hear brings me to cry...

Nostalgia and tears for things I missed and a great track. Mick Taylor is a genius.
Mick Taylor steered a rudderless ship for a couple years, and we are here to thank him today.
Very true
I think you’ll find it was more like 5 or nearly 6 years
They where offi mean write wrong sonetime .Sorry..
@@nickbaldwin1668 -- He was with the Stones for 5 years. Without him, they probably would have broken up after Brian Jones' death.

Beautifull words ❤
He should have been a painter.
one of the few rock songs that puts tears in my eyes. The strings, the chords and MT's solo are beautiful!
YES! TEARS, evertime I hear that "WATERFALL," and those looooong notes!
Carla Olson, and MT temade this over 12 min. Clear as a bell and like 7 minutes solo. Then, the remastered it to 7 minute guitar/piano only....❤
This is such a breathtaking song------the beauty of the melody, plus M Jagger's stunning vocals & M Taylor's soaring guitar work. This is the Stones at the peak of their career.
Well said "Breathtaking "
A masterpiece.
A perfect song from the two Micks they compliment each other beautifully
One of the best guitarists in the world, with a phenomenal solo from rock-blues history.
It's a shame that he doesn't play with the Stones anymore.
The piece has so much feeling that I could listen for hours.👌
He quit.
OOOOOOOWWW MY MY MY, MICK TAYLOR,S ENDING IS JUST EPIC SO BEAUTIFUL. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. ✌️😎🏴
Such an emotional track by the two Micks. Untouchable.
Please stop saying Mick is "so underated" he has always been admired and aknowleged as more than a great influence in Rolling Stones history......maybe Mick'n'Keef should shout out that fact more often and pay the guy back some love.....the Mick albums would've been so different (naffer) without his input thats for sure.
Respect to you Mick Taylor.
One of THE best Stones songs!
wow Taylor's slide making the guitar cry at the tail end of this song gives me the winter chills
ElPocho DelMundo see my analysis as well.
I love all the Stones music with a geanious named Mick Taylor, all their music is so deep, God bless them
Wow, what a treat, the original in all its magnificence plus an extension by MT…so enjoyed it!!!

He did it to save his life. He was younger and all the cocaine and heroin were too much for him.

One of my favorite albums of the early 70;s... seventies were so damn gritty... music like this helped us get through that decade...

I've often read music critics who say Goat's Head Soup wasn't one of the Stones' better albums, but I always thought it was one of their best.
fuck the critics they dont play ,they just sit on there ass and judge music, goats head soup is a great album and the stones are immortal.
I couldn't agree more outrider30...It was the first Stones album I ever owned, and thought it was magnificent. Take care.

Gotta love Dancing with Mr. D. I listened to Goats Head soup everyday after high school for a year. My girl friend dumped me and it was my solace.
This extended features some of the most beautiful guitar work I have ever heard!
Mick Taylor's layered sounds added memorable breadth and depth to forge an unforgettable time in the Rolling Stones musical epic.
I'm from California but lived in beautiful Northern Israel when Goat's Head Soup came out. Friend of mine there had it, and we used get high and listen to the whole album.

No Jagger/Richards songs, No Rollling Stones.Brian Jones gone, Rolling Stone got bigger, Mick Taylor gone The Rolling Stones kept right rolling. The only problem with the Stones is when Mick and keith had their problems with one another a lot to do with Keith's heroin habit and they still held together as great band, just not quite as great. What 1960's band did stay as great in to the 70' and 80's? None.
Stones with Mick Taylor - The glory years, Stones at their very best !!!
That put tears in my eyes. Sometimes I forget the beauty of man. Bravo. : )
Moi aussi j'ai toujours les larmes aux yeux quand j'écoute cette chanson.J'avais 19 ans quand elle est sortie.
Absolutely beautiful..one of my favorite songs. Lovely.
Fantastic atmospheric stonezzz classic.....never boring
Mick Taylor, a name to remember and to add when you read the "Jagger / Richards" credits on the songs of those years
There is no doubt he got ripped off by both of them. He was an easy target for them. He was peaceful. Richards alone could be such an ass. Add some alcohol and Jagger to the mix and it is easy to see the two of them intimidating and abusing Mr. Taylor. People today tend to forget ''Street Fighting Man'' and the rough and tumble image the Stones worked hard at weaving. That is until Altamont. And over the years people change and grow. Or they die. Even Keith and Mick.
@sam X If you think they speak highly of him, you don't read much about The Stones. They have largely written him out of their history. The Stones, whose music I love, left quite a trail of people behind them that they used and discarded.
Yes, Mick T. was unfortunately not credited on several best selling songs/albums as much as he should have been; he says so occasionally. the Glimmer Twins kept the money for themselves and MT could use another source of income... Sad. But it's rock n roll. Not pretty, but often sounds great.
So beautiful it hurts a little bit.
Like all great music you can hear the melancholy in it.
seriously does!
yes it does time travels to fast bingo seems too old by they way is your last name mueller lives in eagle if so you always hot girl women
Because it takes you to a different place and time, remind me of love lost and love conquered
Tears all the time for me.
winter is the most beautiful season
Love him... We all love you Mick Taylor
Wwwwhhhhoooo...Mick....that really some serious guitar work...top class...the stones should have held onto him at all costs....he is brilliant.
The costs were the royalties for songs like this
I bought this album in 1973, it was my first Stones album purchase. There is some brilliant music on this record. I always loved this track. Nicky Hopkins contributes some magical piano. Keith did not play on the track.
Same here, my brother told me to buy it and obviously, I played the album over and over again till the black vinyl turned grey…then I HAD to have all of their albums…this album plus EOMS definitely are my favourites, mainly because of MT!
Forgot about Nicky , so true
My brother bought this album when it came out, and we loved it right out of the gate. Angie was the AM hit at the time, but that song pales in comparison to the rest of this gem. There are absolutely NO weak songs on it. Taylor's guitar playing is at its absolute best here, and on 100 years ago, Silver Train, Heartbreaker, etc. As others have stated, I'd take this and Sticky Fingers as my top two dessert island Stones LPs. So anyway, fast forward about a year to 1974. I stopped by my friend's house and he showed me his older brother's collection of 8 track tapes, which included this one. As I recall, it was encased in pink plastic. I told him I'd trade anything for it, and after thinking about it, he said, 'would you give me that mid-60s 'Bob Clemente' baseball card? I said hell yeah!, not realizing it was actually 'Roberto' Clemente! We kept up that baseball card for big brother's 8 tracks swap for a few weeks until finally he got caught and took a beating from his brother for it. But by then, the damage was done and my 8 track collection was looking mighty sweet! Looking back, I think this is still the best trade either of us have ever made.
this is from heaven. so good mick taylor
that was the best 12:32 seconds of my life.
let's do it again....
Yep ! go on then
This Taylor solo, so melodious and soulful, can raise the dead, at least the moribund.
Rolling Stones thank you so very much for all the happiness and joy through out the years.
Always feel a comfort listening to this, sure been a cold winter, lord! yeah.
you don't think of the stones as having a kind of introspective song like this. "time waits for no one" is kind of like this also. they're usually known more for their faster, harder hitting music. this is very beautiful. i can appreciate mick's vocal range in this one.
You should listen to "worried about you".......what more could one say..
"Time Waits for No One" reminds me of this song, as well as being my favorite Stones song!
@@debrabalinski-long1183 Yes they are MY two favourites from the Stones along with Santana's 'Song of the Wind'
@@debrabalinski-long1183 If you like Time for its solo, you have Keith to thank for it. Mick J. wanted it cut and you can hear the cut version on one of the many 70's compilations.
@@andymurray9811 Coming Down Again from this same album.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!!!! This is effing KILLER man!!!!! Mick Taylor most expressive player up with Peter Green and BB, Duane and Clapton
sitting here crying like a 5 year old that's what the Stones do for my soul what memories saw Mick Taylor with Stones Chicago 2013 still can play
I recently broke up with the love of my life and this song really moves me. And when Taylor hits that first note of the solo, the tears fall like rain.
Every time I listen & watch this video I feel the need to say again how much I love this one
Karima Milena I agree ! There just something about this song that I can't explain! Let it loose is another great tune from exile on main st ...
Yes true @sweetassugar 72 Let it loose is another great example of an unexplicable magic that certain of their songs exhale.
How could this version not be known….outstanding solo!!
Great solo, it soars. I saw Mick Taylor playing in a scruffy South London pub a few years back. Still very much the blues man
much respect for the man!
Lej 2016
Caught Taylor at Great American Music Hall back to back years 00 and 01. He was so good left you shaking your head. No words!
was it the hope and anchor in herne hill??
Same here about Mick Taylor.....saw him in a Portland pub......Maine.....what an experience to hear......My husband and I enjoy local bands as much as super stars.....but dang man when we saw Mick at that pub......different experience......
thank God we have this
Wow, 10 years and THIS is still my favorite videos of all time. Has brought me a lot of joy thru the years. My sincere thank you for making and posting and now in 2020 the year of the pandemic it still comforts me great and helps to sooth my nerves. God Bess and thanks again!
Simply Fabulous!!
Still makes me cry to hear this song. Great to hear the extended version. Thanks.
this is fantastic. one of my favorite songs of all time. truly fantastic
I just re-discovered this song from Goat's Head Soup. What amazing guitar playing! Such an awesome song...
You're so right to describe it aa a Deluxe version. 12 minutes of magic. Thank you.
Those five years with Taylor are something special!
You can here this beautiful song in summer and feel it's winter, excellent 👌 👏 👍 🙌
Perfect winter song --makes me FEEL winter --thanx to Mick J and MickT
A Master Piece Mick's Playing Takes Me To Some Great Places I Am A Private Session's Musician Play Lead & Bass Been Learning From Mick's Playing For A Long Time But The Man Is So Good It Gets Hard To Ever Come Close To Him Just Practice Thank You For This Video Listen To This All The Time
Just a great piece of music, made even better with Mick Taylor's guitar being a part of it. Listening to this makes me think of my youth and growing up with my cousins, listening to the Stones on vinyl.
Thanks for sharing this!
@Paul Sansonetti Thanks for posting the link. Hilarious but true!
strong, beautiful, pleasent, awesom, cosy, real GRACIAS
Thanks for sharing this gem. Always one of my favorites. Never heard the extended version and love it. Mick Taylor is missed.
Well done
Mark Corlew
:)
Mark it's from Ring of Truth Mick n Carla Olson from a few years ago14 or so minutes of guitar genius, had the pleasure of meeting and getting his autograph in his dressing room after a gig in Dublin 2001🎸🔥👍
One of the best Songs ever!
Thankyou one Love❤
Having snow on the ground on April 13th, here in Minnesota made me want to hear one of my favorite Stones songs from my high school days. Might as well indulge in that deep blue melancholy vibe that Minnesota winters are so good for. I'd never heard Mick Taylor's extended solo before. Majestic!
One of the all time greatest ballads. So melancholy and poignant. Not bad for the greatest, dirtiest rock n roll band.
How can you not cry?? Theres such a beautiful sadness to this song...it really takes you away!!! Most/All stones songs always pumped me up...gave me good energy...feels good!!!...winter...makes me slow-down,get quiet, and let the lyrics hit me!!! (And heres craziest part of all... the stones recorded that song in Jamaica... in the summertime heat... and Keiths not on it... Keith never showed up for the recording..)
Its Mick's song.
So, so beautiful.
wow/ that second solo is chillingly easily the best guitar solo ever,,,i cant believe it,,,kinda speaks volumes
And the amazing guitar of Mick taylor,the legend👏👏👏
I miss this kind of music, artful talent more than I can begin toi say.... Lord have Mercy!!!!
amazing, been waiting eons for this hidden magic to come out......the first rebirth of the Stones..great
I know there wouldn't be any Rolling Stones without Brian Jones, but
this from Mick Taylor is just WOW absoloutely FUCKING FREAKING WOW!!!!
Mick Taylor vastly underrated, as is Brian Jones!!!
Every version of the Stones is different. Brian brought not only the pretty boy looks, until he got too stoned to function and lost them a bit. Brian was a bluesman who had already been around a while before Mick and Keith met him. Add to that he could play anything with in a few minutes of picking it up. Mick Taylor brought a sweeter more defined lead guitar soloist to the band, Keith has always said they rhythm is his thing and Mick Taylor arriving coincides with a period when the lead guitarist was king. He was perfect for that period of time. Ronnie arrived when music itself was heading backwards towards basic rock and roll, punk was just around the corner, funk was ruliing a lot of the charts, lead guitarists were two a penny and the Stones were getting out of touch. I loved that they took Mick Taylor out on the road with them but it was as much to do with the fact he was close to being broke as anything else. I hated that he only played a couple of numbers but I love the video of him owning the stage behind Jagger much to Ronnie's amusement, even if they do have to rein him in a bit.
Mick Taylor is not underrated by anyone, every comment on a stones song always says ' stones best period was with Mick Taylor.
He's rated by millions, yet another idiot who thinks it's cool to say....' so and so ( insert name of extremely famous and respected musician) is underrated.
Why do people think it's cool to say someone is underrated, when they are clearly not?
The song is pure beauty 😊😊
@@davidmellish3295Tops? Lol...sort of agree, but it's only R&R, right?
Mick&Mick...and the flemish masterpieces...Great video!
You mean the Dutch masterpieces by Hendrick Avercamp (Amsterdam, January 1585 - Kampen, May 1634)
Great old tune !! This was the Stones greatest era, I believe.
My lifelong best friend would have loved to hear that. He loved this, taught me the solo. Moved to his house, that year in 1973. Taught me how to love. Miss him so much it hurts. This solo hurts in a nice way, brings it all back.
Didn't realise at the time, but on out last holiday together, I wrapped my coat around him. (Gave him my spare coat as her forgot his)
Love this song, this album.....oh the memories....:)
This Version would be so Awesome to hear while shooting Amazing Heroin and laying in a cold, snowy alleyway contemplating an exit from all the pain in this life and reminiscing on the thing that used to be good before everything goes black!!
might feel even better if you were walking home from a job you hate, to a house you hate, on a night filled with disappointment and loneliness, working hard saving your pennies toward a fruitful spring/summer. I've been in your shoes before Arthur, and I've walked that path. One day your going to have to grow up. stick to puffing weed or sipping drinks. If that is your attitude towards hard drugs than may mercy find you well, because you will be needing it. letting disappointment encapsulate you and warp your perception, you soon may be finding it define you. best case scenario you will realize this fault in the years that follow. cheers.
ARTHUR GALLAGHER philip seymour hoffman, is that you?
Melancholy. And that guitar solo kills me.
TAYLOR
Best video on RUclips. Thank you.
This is a beautiful song 🎵, and amazing video. The Stones just keep taking music 🎶 🎵 to a whole other level of excellence. Mick and the boys are always 2nd to none 🎉🎉
This is a Great Video! Love how you can hear Mick Taylor's guitar riffs!!!! Thank you for posting this.......EXCELLENT!
Reminds me of driving across country thinking about my love who passed on of cancer~ my sweet indigo warrior 💜
Just sitting in the window listening to this and watching the snow fall !
Mick Taylor was with the Rolling Stones from 1969- 1974, many younger RS fans may not be as familiar with his history and contributions. He is considered the greatest Rolling Stones guitarist. A true abstract impressionist. This is a thing of beauty !
Beth McAvoy
And a joy forever :)
YES the best thing that ever happened to them!
What did he do after playing with the Stones?
+Nancy Stone pursued a solo career
now he's poor
Nancy Stone nowhere
a very underrated record. I always loved it ❣️.
Kevin Scott you nailed it. January 29 2023 still my favorite band. My kids grew up listening to classic rock now my grandchildren thank you for your truth
Got to be one of my favorite tracks from "Goat's Head Soup". Just love this extended version: beautiful imagery in both videos. Still, I'd've truly enjoyed seeing the band included, but you can't....Well, you know the rest. Lol. Really, thanks so much for sharing! As usual, you're all generous beyond belief! ♡♡♡♡♡
yes sabrina you have good taste
timeless masterpiece
It’s hard not to be emotional.
Mick taylor at his best!!!!!! EASY!
Beautiful video, and especially music. Brings joy to the loneliness of the cold winter of Norway. Cheers!
