Oh man! Last heard this - live - at the Toby Jug in Tolworth, ca. 1968

[fidomusic]

Yeah! Taylor at his best! Thanks for posting.

[fidomusic]

Oh wonderful people, you have posted my favorite Mick Taylor tracks on Youtube. Thank you!

素晴らしい。1967年当時では一番の演奏です。キーフハートレ­ーのdrms.いいねえ。

@HIBIYA11 私はあなたと同意します。

@vanu49 Thanks. I just read your comment reply to Blue. I too saw Taylor with Mayall, twice: once at Woburn Abbey Festival in July 68 with the Barewires lineup, then again in 69 at Fairfield Halls, Croydon with the Laurel Canyon lineup. Both great gigs, and both, along with Crusade, classic albums. I agree with you the Stones were never as good after he left them. IMHO most of their really good material was created with him and before him with Brian Jones. Best for 12.

I saw Mick taylor some weeks ago at a Bluesfestival.

Unfortunately it was a disaster

because of technical problems Taylor couldn't hear the Band, and so of course he couldn't solo correct.

I hope I can see him again some time, whithout any problems

sweeeeet...

In my humble opinion Crusade, from the drop of the needle on the first track, to the final fadeout on side two, is, was, and always will be the finest blues recording ever made. Every aspect of this particular lineup captures the perfect blues sound dead on. Mick Taylor! Two words....Eric who?

[fidomusic]

@Sycanlycan I agree. But IMHO ALL the Mick Taylor Bluesbreakers albums are great.

I am bias because I got into the Bluesbreakers when he was with them, and had the privilege of seeing them twice. Snowy Wood is Mick at his best. Beautiful guitar playing.

Thanks, the best white blues ever played - first of all by Mick Taylor but also by Keef Hartley, John Mayall, Chris Mercer, Rip Kant and John McVie! So clear and so pure. And nostagy: bought this LP as my first one 1967, still have it and still like it. There is also a brilliant but totally different version of Snowy Wood at the album Diary of the Band.

A prodigy. LOVED him with the Stones

[vanu49]

He Blue,

So true. I saw the guy wayback in the sixties with Mayall. He was only eighteen or so, and I instanly knew that I never would be able to play like him, so I changed my ambitions.(!!??) And the Stones never reached the same quality after Taylor left the band.

Greets!!

[fidomusic]

@vanu49 I 100% agree with you. I was lucky enough to see Taylor three times: once with the Barewires lineup in July 68, then with the Laurel Canyon line later in 68. Finally with the Stones in Hide Park. I think Mayall did some of his best work when Taylor was with him.

Original slidershow!*****Of course, Mick Taylor is one of the Big!

[Baddoggone]

I saw John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at Winterland right after this album came out. Mick Taylor is one of the best.
