This outtake from Ladies & Gentlemen... is from my first concert & the only time I saw Mick Taylor with the Stones. The next time I would see them would be at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on July 6, 1975, the day after the infamous Arkansas bust. The sound was different, but after they performed Gimme Shelter, the audience gave them the first of many standing ovations that day. My favorite band, but I agree that others would differ that they were the greatest ever. As song as music is enjoyed!
Taylor was great, but the stones would be nothing without richards rhythm playing, it just blends in perfectly, while taylor adds layers on top of it. Keith also wrote all the songs, its not an either or, they were great at times before and after the taylor period.
@goonchistaw I think wood is okay. Just okay. I mean, take a look at a stones record, jagger/richards almost every time. i didnt mean to imply he wrote them ALL himself.
@groundedsax I speak about the presence during a show ... Of course Keith is the stones's foundation .. But on stage , Jagger is the perfect frontman and Mick Taylor is brilliant on guitar's solo ... Keith play the rythm with bill and charlie . But of course stones would be nothing without him ;)
I was at this show at the University of Houston, the first of 15 Stones shows I have attended over subsequent U.S. tours, and the band was never sharper or harder. Mick II was a huge part of this. They have their charm with Woody, never saw them with Brian, but never like this when they put all effort in playing as a tight unit. They have been my favorite band since 1964 (I was 9 years old), and this was my first concert. However, enjoy the music from all the years! They are truly unique.
Was at the early show in Chicago, June 26th 1972. Never seen anything like it since. Then they came right back and did it again 3 hours later......lolololololol.
Im not sayi ng the band isnt good! they are icons and wrote some great tunes, but come on... open your ears ..there are players who are ust much much better on thier instruments, and kieth richards would agree with me.. and he has :-)
I'm 54 and a Stones fan forever...Believe me, this is when they were the best-they really smoked...Best live act...left nothing behind...Taylor-Wow...Mick...the Monkey man.. and Keith..the living Mummy!
i miss mick taylor. im still trying to figure out how rolling stone put richards at number 10 while mick taylor is no where to be found... stuff like tht bothers me
it shouldn't bother you - they also put a player like Jack White (barf) ahead of George Harrison and Peter Green - and Joni Mitchell at #72...plus Duane Eddy *did not even make their list* of top 100 players ever. those brain-dead kids at RS wouldn't know a real guitar player if they tripped over one...
What's weird to consider is that this line-up could in theory get back together. Unlike so many other groups, the five key players are still alive! It wouldn't be the same no doubt, but it would be fun to see as at least a one-off event (wouldn't mind seeing Ronnie Wood sent to the penalty box for awhile).
when wyman left, i had read that it was considered to ask taylor back and move wood to bass. now, i do not believe that it was *really* being considered, and i am not sure ronnie would go for that. but if it was - that would have been the ticket.
Hofheinz Pavilion, University of Houston, 6/25/1972, 4 pm show, my first concert (age 17), $5.50 a ticket. What a day - changed my life. 5 of the 15 songs from Ladies and Gentlemen... were from this show. Great that YouTube has 2 outtakes from this performance, too. Thanks for the ticket, bro! Seen the Stones 15 times, many high points through the years, many great songs & albums, only 1 Mick Taylor.
I am so fucking jealous. I was 13 in the summer of 72 and tickets here in NYC were done via lottery. 1st chance to see them was 1975 and was very disappointed I missed the great, great Mick Taylor. The day he left them in 74 was the beginning of the end for them.
these stones were the zeitgeist of true rock'n roll, they will never return, this is the pinnacle, paramount outpour. today they are just enterntainers, riding on yesterdays fame.
People said the same thing you're saying here about The Stones in 1972, referring to the 1965 era-
The Beauty of The Stones now is that they STILL are a great playing band-capable of writng and recording to the higest standards-and causing controversy for fun-Keith snorting his dad, falling out of trees , going into rehab and chasing young women-
that is interesting - i was there and i don't recall that ever being said. would like to see a reference, an article, a review that reflects that sentiment. what i do recall is, they hit the high points with jimmy miller producing and mick taylor onboard...once jimmy's influence waned (half way through the "goat's head soup" sessions) and taylor later became disinterested...they never recovered. i like ron wood -solo LP's, faces, jeff beck group...but artistically, can't get into the stones now.
@matmathic your right to hard to judge.
