Back, when the Rolling Stones was a really good band.

[chortle12345]

Holy camoleons - this show was the first concert I ever attended! kg441 thank you so much for posting this.

[catchsight]

richards abd taylor both great together here!Thanks!

[Exiles800]

This period makes me melt. There's true grit to the playing that is real and heartfelt. I mean it's the real deal - bluescraft. They were never better. I wish I could have seen them then. I can't say enough about Mick Taylor. If they had to change crew they really made a mistake not at least making an album with Taylor later on in order to recognize that which they shouldn't and couldn't deny. Fate, history, destiny, -whatever- fucks a lot of people sometimes and Taylor was one of them.

Brian Jones would have been proud of the Rolling Stones Blues Project...

[fmxkool]

ok...im gonna say something here and dont all you nuts get crazy and get your panties in a bunch....ok....hands down....as a pure blues guitarist...Taylor blows Clapton's doors off any day of the week......ANY DAY!!!

[mecormany]

@fmxkool I don't think many people who listen to this are going to argue with you. MT has been my favorite guitarist since forever --he's the best IMHO of all of them. On slide he just soars into another zone. I love the man.

[fmxkool]

unreal version....very rare to hear great piano on this song....

[jaggerlags]

The whole thing is rock and roll. Its so beautiful it's here forever.

[clfetter]

the music....richards!

[swiggy58a]

Anyone know who plays piano on this? Nicky Hopkins or Stu?

[keizerjoo]

@swiggy58a What a brilliant player you are Mr. Taylor. The pianist is definitively Nicky Hopkins.

Mick 'madfingers' Taylor guitar virtuoso, THE finest guitarist of his generation, his colour is all over this, fantastic, easily as good as the version from Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks for posting it.

OUTASITE !!!!!!! This is just the cream of the cream of the cream of the Blues !!! Mick Taylor rules !... After all these years I still miss him !

[matt88008]

Mick Taylor owns this song! What a phenomenal "tour de force" on lead guitar. The main lead break and the outro on this Pittsburgh cut are even more brilliantly innovative and improvisational than his outstanding solo'ing on MSG and Ft Worth cuts from the same tour. The 72/73 tours were the high point of the Stones musically and Taylor was the catalyst, along with the superb musicianship of Hopkins, Keys, Price. Taylor, long gone from the Stones, but never forgotten and certainly never replaced.

[kg441]

@matt88008 ...very well said, my friend.

[zorbazig]

@kg441 In fact all '72 versions with Mick Ttaylor are excellent ! But here he's even more excellent than excellent ! ;-) A Genius !

[hccaos44]

@matt88008 Yes, Mick Taylor owns this song. The best version imho was played at the same tour July 1972 in New York, Madison Square Garden. Can't find it on Youtube anymore. Got it from a vinyl-bootleg.

[zorbazig]

@matt88008 I fully agree with you... MT's soli here just make me chill everytime I listen to this gem ! This is just incredibly good !

[thegas70]

@matt88008 yeah bro keith was nothing???????

[matt88008]

@thegas70 ... There is no implied criticism of Keith by extolling the virtues of Mick Taylor! Keith's rhythm work on this track is excellent, but as this is a cover version of a Robert Johnson number, there is no original compositional credit due to Keith on this track. The signature feature of this track, during the Stones greatest period of live work 1969-1974, is Mick Taylor's virtuoso lead work, that is not a criticism of Keith bro!

[thegas70]

@matt88008 sweet as mate, i was just sticking up for keith coz i have always thought he doesn't get enough credit for the overall contribution he has made to music, apart from being a waster?! yes mick t was a big part of their "grand slam" of albums success. point taken bro, cheers my man, mick t is certainly on my list of blues guitar players i can't get upset with!

[Falcor37]

go to "rainymood . com" and listen to this over it. its better than sex.

[tytwist]

The Greatest Band Ever! Mick Taylor Rocks cheers TyT

[SeeYouNextFall]

"We haven't been back here since 1956" lol

Mick had a great sense of sarcasm.

[cn854]
