Taylor takes melodies where few dare to go. He's a giant and should be recognized as such apart from his band involvements. But whatever band he was with, he consistently pushed them to new levels of creativity. Listen to this and hear 4 yourself.

BTW...tks 4 your comment!!!!

[MrMuddymilton]

Fantastic! Mick and the video, too.

[platter1000]

mick taylor is a nice bloke and plays a mean guitar. i met him after his show in woodstock, ny a couple of years ago.....he came out to sign anything you wanted

[cameltooth1]

Mike Bloomfield was the best of all, but all the other guys r close. Taylor had amazing feedback control and sustain where Bloomfield didn't use a pedal to get more overdrive and sustain.

[nunestunes]

oh i listen to alot of peter green and michael bloomfield, early clapton,rory gallagher, srv,jeff beck, and im finding alot more every day.

[nunestunes]

i dont believe these who's better arguments, everyone has their own taste and as a young blues guitar trying-to-be I believe i can learn a thing or two from alot of these greats.

btw way who is that woman see looks fimilar?

[vanu49]

@nunestunes Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson...

and blues on..dont forget to listen to Peter Green.

Have a nice day.

hoo boy!!

[tyleryesta1]

I don't get all the Mick Taylor Hype. He can definitely play guitar, and he was the best musician The Stones ever had, but thats not saying much. The stones were good rock song writers but nothing more. They had some great albums but their live performances always suffered from lack of musicianship. You add drugs to the mix and they down right sucked. So you get a guy who can actually play pretty well and he;s gonna stick out. As far as being a genius.. I think thats an overstatement.

Kermit the frog on vocals.

[vanu49]

@Unclemoparman Hi there...youre wrong!!!!!....its Studebaker Champion!!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day.

Vanu.

[TheWacky46]

I have to disagree with jsilence418. Clapton got all the credit for what Mick Taylor and Rory Gallagher could do way better. Don't get me wrong, Clapton is great but Rory would have burned his ass!!!!

[vanu49]

@TheWacky46 We all like to compare artists...but we all know its an endless discussion...IMO no one is the greatest, but Peter Green is the better!!!!..lol...tks 4 your comment and you have a point!!!....fabs artists are not always the best!!!!

Have a nice day.

Vanu.

[jsilence418]

@vanu49 I actually agree it's only when some start with this guy this or that, however, there are some instances where one guy is better than an other!

[PleaseReadSomething]

@vanu49

No man your wrong. Blue is way supreme to Red.

[jsilence418]

@TheWacky46 rory gallagher? you are joking right? can you tell the difference? seriously? have you ever listened to John Mayalls bluesbreakers? or Fresh Cream? his sound alone is worth the price of admission !no one made a Les Paul bark in that way then, no one1 not Peter Green not Mick Taylor, not Bloomfield no one! go and listen.

[Magicquickfingers]

@jsilence418 Bloomfield had amazing tone as did peter green and rory gallagher. Btw peter green is the only blues player to make BB King have the cold sweats, not clapton.

[jsilence418]

@Magicquickfingers You don't know the difference, hence" bb king said" oh dear ,if you want to play that game Freddy King, the best of the 3kings was blown away by Clapton not Hendrix! where do you want to go from here? ! at least you aren't as bad as the twit going on about poor old rory gallagher lol

[fidomusic]

I was lucky enough to see them perform this at Woburn Abbey in July 1986. Barewires was a groundbreaking album featuring the best Mayall line up of them all. Taylor rocks!

[dkstryker]

i have this on vinyl. i got it on ebay for $5

[dkstryker]

i have this vinyl

[57CigarGuy]

Check out 19-year old Mick Taylor's solo on this John Mayall tune from 1968...

[joethepainter90]

Ya Know,you don't here Mick Taylor's name enough when people talk about GREAT guitar players.The man smokes.

[claptoncla]

Mick in this record is 19 years old . . . Rember this !

[4rainbowed]

Taylor IMHO is one of the greatest blues guitarists alive. I'm partial to the slide, too. Missing Rory Gallagher too though. Wonder if their paths ever crossed on stage? Taylor's touring and that is great news!

[guitarheadful]

Saw Mick Taylor live earliier this year,Rena..With Wlliam Dale Petite...

( hope I got name right as he is real good too).he has still got it...M Taylor  I mean

[vdbdg]

killer solo indeed, that's how blues should be played more often

[theodorus45]

Love this song,fantastic solo!

[tundradog]

great job on the clip by the way........

[vanu49]

Youre welcome. I have a few old livetracks

coming up soon.

Have a nice day.

Vanu.

[tundradog]

not a whole lot of people played with that much intense feeling back in 68..Mick was,and still is someone for the ages..

[jsilence418]

Rating anyone "over" Clapton is really a bit much buddy listen to him he is superb. Mick Taylor was the best thing about the stones in that period to me, whom I don,t rate that highly anyway. Taylor is a virtuoso, saw him playing up close a few years back in a small club, it was better, much better than church ! thanks for the post.

[vanu49]

Youre welcome jsilence and I dont wanne b rude but I think that anything is better than church.(lol)

Take care.

Vanu.

[mynthon11]

@jsilence418

I dont feel the blues when i listen clapton...i dunno has always been so...Its a opinion...like yours...But i feel it when i listen hooker, green, lightning, TAYLOR YES, tens of others...Maybe u can recommend me a clapton LP? i dunno....i think hes technically MASTER but... Peace!

[ivebeenthere1]

I must have lived a sheltered life as I have only ever heard "Bare Wires" & "Primal Solos" as this was a total trip for me...so awesome 5+plus!!!....love it friend....many thanks Gary

[vanu49]

Hi ivebeenthere1

Youre very welcome. Glad to hear you got a nice trip on this one, so did I!!!! Tks for the sub and btw is it true that you guys walk on your head down under? (lol)

[ivebeenthere1]

check out my photo...you'll see that all that walking on my head has taken away my hair...lol

cheers Gary

[vanu49]

Hahaha, alright pal, we should grab a beer one time.

See ye!!!!

[dantean]

Thank you SO much for posting this! I've been waiting for someone to for quite a while (I have this in storage, in someone else's house in another state 3000 miles away. Again--THANKS!!!

[TQ120]

I rate Mick highly even over Clapton ( never was or will be a clapton fan) , and in my humble opinion, the Stones may have gone to the wood shed if they hadn't taken Taylor on board . He certainly added greatly to what the Stones were in the late sixties/early seventies, and never got the desrved credit ! ! Thank You for posting this, wish i had been there Falmer, Brighton , that day.  :-)

[Rebel230]

im a clapton fan myself (up to derek and the dominos ugh to post 76 clap). and from a clapton fan i still rate Mick over him. that might not be saying much in the sense that mick taylor is and will always be my favorite guitarist, but that's at least 2 sides of the spectrum agreeing.

I've never heard ANYONE play the guitar like this man, and never have i felt anything like what i do when he plays and i could not agree more with everything you said. mick's talent is severely underrated.

[vanu49]

Rebelrebel230,

Ive been thinking about your comment for quite some time now. I saw Mick in the mid 60's with Mayall and he blew my mind, but I must admit that Clapton is still goin' strong, although his days are not getting any younger. And, whether its right or wrong, an artist is judged

by his last note and I havent heard interesting things from Mick Taylor lately, that doesnt mean, that I love this track.(Thats why the upload) Its great and Im glad you like it.

Peace!!

[Rebel230]

oh don't get me wrong. i love clapton. i truly honestly do.

and as far as songwriting i think clapton has some levels on mick and i absolutely adore "presence of the lord". but i am convinced mainstream status holds little in the terms of mick's guitar skills. as i believe that he could hold his own against EC.

just that i don't think this man gets the credit he deserves =(. and thanks SO MUCH for the upload. =) i keep coming back to it. and do you know perhaps what album and year this is 4rm?

[Rebel230]

i mean the original recording. sorry for not clarifying.

[vanu49]

Hi Rebel.

recorded at Falmer College, Brighton, may 1968

See ye!!

[Rebel230]

ah nice. is this and/or the original recording on any particular albums? i've been looking for this track on numerous mayall cd's but to no avail.

[vanu49]

Well Rebel, check out "Bare Wires" CD issued in 2007 with this track as a bonus.

See ye!!!

[Rebel230]

ah! will do. thanx a ton! srry for being so think headed =p

[mecormany]

Many thanks for posting this. Anything new with Mick Taylor makes me a happy man. He's simply the best.

[roby62gtr]

very good guitar solo

[blueice0170]

Thanks for posting--great guitar!!

[rdmaelzer]

Despite Mayall's appalling vocals, this track is a collectible for Mick's innovative and intense playing. I had this on an LP many many years ago. One of those pieces of music you remember, but figure you'll never find or hear again. And then someone digs it up and posts it on You Tube. Thanks

[vanu49]

You are very welcome!!

Greets.

[screwmaster404]

Mayall's voice is different, but his talent is huge. He has assembled bands over and over that launched a great many careers. He has incrededible longevity indicative of legions of fans. He is fiercely commited to the genre. Perhaps when he sings he is showing us "the bare wires of his soul.

[vanu49]

So true Screw.

Mayall has the ability to assemble great talent in one band for years and years now. One talent is Mick Taylor.

Cheers!
