[eromadrol]

Great stuff, T4P !!!

[blondblasterr]

Nice find!

[LeotheOrangeCat]

Ha, Charlie in a Milan jersey.

Stones definitely took a step down when they let M. Taylor leave.

Lot's of an even younger Mick Taylor in Gimme Shelter too. I love the COLORS! Man! why don't performers today wear colorful things? Everyone playing it down, or in black. Also, I love how the venues in this period were dark, only the spots and some overhead lights illuminating them. I hate seeing all the stagehands and stuff in the backround of todays performances. I know being shot on film plays a part in that, but still. It adds so much more to see less. Less IS more! Best period, I agree!

I love those Ampegs although I have never played through one. Any amp Keith and Taylor play through, they get good tone. Fender, Marshall, HI-WATT, etc.

A great track with flawless lead guitar work from the young Mick Taylor. Everything that was magical about the Stones during their epic period of live performing, 1969-74, featured the technical & improvisational brilliance of Mick Taylor.

keith.

[thenodsstrip]

[clickswitchh]

jagger sounds incredible on this

[ifutureman]

Somewhere along the line the tape speed must have gotten slowed down, because this recording is slow and the pitch is almost a half-step flat. This is one advantage of digital recording; variations in tape speed are no longer an issue...

[jagfug]

@ifutureman What's going on is this is an 8mm home movie camera which had no sound, being matched up with a good tape recording. Almost sounds like the Stones Mobile, which was state of the art, and unique at this time. Used on GS,+GYYYO. Lot's of people matching up soundless footage with sound recordings nowadays. Thank God for that! All things considered, this is fabulous! I'm grateful it's as good as it is! If we had digital then, there would be no Gimme Shelter, we'd have a bazillion clips!

[ifutureman]

@jagfug my point is simply that this audio playback is not at the speed and pitch of the original performance, or possibly the pitch of the bootleg recording. This audio playback sounds slow and the pitch is a few Hz flat because somewhere along the line some analog tape deck involved in recording or copying, was not running at the proper speed. And it's not that they tuned their guitars lower; it's clearly audible that this tape was running slow.

[jagfug]

@ifutureman gotcha now. I hear it too on 2nd listen. Having perfect pitch can be a blessing and a curse, as my Music Theory teacher once told me. I got the job of tuning all the guitars for the guitar class, by ear! So when I hear an old recording and notice a variation, especially a half step or more, I assume they just tuned off each other and jumped in. Electric tuners of the day not being that good, and I don't see Keith using a strobe. Not live anyway. Anyway, good call!

wish this was clearer...Superb!!

Io c'ero.....siiii, magari !!!!

The Golden Years......................

[wingseclipsed]

I wish Taylor wouldn't have avoided the spotlight so much-- what a beautiful lead guitarist! And, from an ex-Mayall background, he was so good fhat technical aspect to his work, that he was almost a forensic performer

[lowspark68]
