all down the line " the rolling stones live

[robbs659]

you call it Rock n Roll, i call it a lifestyle!

[LedRocksZeppelin]

This is what you call rock n' roll....

[Trainwreckontario]

Jones and Richards

[Trainwreckontario]

unreal



[sourjoe]

Well I'm a faces fan ergo Ronnie's Wood fan but I have to agree that there's something about Mick's guitar playing that stands out. The stones will always grab your heart strings, coz that's what they were about. McCartney became too smug for my liking and was lost without John Lennon's input. The fact that the Stones lasted longer tells you all you need to know, they're the best rock n' roll band ever.

[13fer21]

yeah mick taylor is better than ron wood, but wood fits better to the stones

and the stones are not just their music, their acting on stage makes them so fuckin' great

[urgepower]

this is fucking rock'n'roll

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Bill is the coolest lol

[HalsteadGuy1]

I think I'm becoming addicted to this clip - keep coming back to it again and again. This and 'Happy' from the same Tour.

[chinahands100]

putting fucking hey jude next to this..

[bobplaw1]

I like Ron Wood, but Mick Taylor is so much better. Watch this video, then watch the same song with Ron Wood on slide, and you'll notice the difference right away.

[urgepower]

put this tune on in the morning and it will get you fuckin right outta bed!

[blondblasterr]

Sizzzzzzzzzilin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[beatlesman369]

Damn that's an accurate guitar player.

[murphyssaloon]

I can't put it any better than coatesy29: Mick Taylor's shit is white fuckin' hot here!!!

[sfritzen]

you weren't around in the 60s and 70sIioy.

[sfritzen]

musicians appreciate Mick Taylor more than non. Jagger even said that was their best period.

[Lothario68]

Mick Taylor had no stage prescence....great string man but no show.....

[The7thNemesis]

Mick Taylor adds that missing flair to the Stones sound! I prefer tripping on the concert recordings of 'Ladies and Gentlemen' to the studio versions of the songs any day!

[MichaelPalinFan2008]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[JASONCALEDONIA]

I disagree with the comparisons with taylor to wood. Taylor is a great lead player but as a guitarist I think its much more interesting interplay between richards and wood. Its not as flashy but musically its gives more depth. The band isnt the same without wyman. I miss him way more than taylor!

[sweetmay73]

@JASONCALEDONIA same, people don't give enough credit to ronnie or keith or bill for that matter.

[ceforma2012]

The Beatles never gave a concert like this....good just in the studio

[jbstonesfan]

@ceforma2012 100% correct. Stones were so much better and edgier. Beatles were a pop band and thus, their popularity was always greater, but as far as a rock band, none were as good as the Stones in their prime.

[thestonesinexile72]

@jbstonesfan i totally agree with ya man

[reasintolive]

Crazy to think these guys were compared to the Beatles in the sixties. The Beatles are now recognised as legends. The Stones never really were that much. Some good songs I guess but no comparison really to The Beatles" sophistication.

[MrStevo1213]

Saw them in Boston in 1969 and 1972. Saw them many times after that but always missed the sound that Mick Taylor added.

[idiotboxx999]

Nice moves there Bill...

[isidrosan]

Saw them in 1972. Incredible! Mick Taylor simply burns it here. Scorching! Their best period for musician and live playing.

[murthanan]

slide players use frets.

[KingMoses3]

i lost count of how many times i've watched this. hundreds. stunning.

[MacFeeley]

At this point, in '72, they were not only the best they had ever and would ever be, they were probably the best rock band in the world. Keef gave up Taylor for his party pal Ronnie Wood, and they were never the same. I suspect Keith even knows it.

[wkg55]

@MacFeeley Keef didn't "give up" MT. Taylor left on his own accord, you can't make someone do something that they don't want to do. MT saw folks in the Stones circle destructing himself included, Taylor was losing his grip with drugs. There were other reasons for his leaving but he did what he felt he had to do to survive. Rock and Roll life isn't as glamorous as one may think. Bless!

[jakex1x1]

Ahh the days when Jagger was the SINGER in a BAND. Not trying to be a the whole show, flailing about spastically , singing with almost no feeling, going through the way overly dramatic motions. Forget your imagined fans and minions Mick, concentrate on your bros, your gang, your band. Bond with THEM on stage and the audience will be elevated kinetically ! You don't need that " C'mon people, put your hands together...for ME!" bullshit !??!

[TheBluesJammer]

Keith Richards like a BOSS!!!

[PoetryHound]

This was the era with the strongest songwriting and the best playing. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street (1969-1972) are the peak Stones albums. Keith and Ron are great and so was Brian, but they can't solo like Mick Taylor.

[joestones68]

Yep  got it on dvd awesum

[TheNoeticHatter]

Is this from the "Ladies & Gentlemen" film? Mick Taylor is blazing hot on the guitar in that movie.

[bdhaake]

Great I mean!!!

[bdhaake]

I think it's gretat with Mick Taylor!!! Sounds graeat!!!

[Bobplawyer]

The Stones' 50th anniversary is approaching. I'm dreaming, but it would be great to see a reunion tour with Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman back with the band. It'll never happen, but one can still hope. It will be the Last Hurrah (I think!), so do it right for all of us who have been there as fans since day one!

[cn854]

@Bobplawyer

I hope Taylor and Wymand join up for the 50th tour but honestly, 40 years later as old men, if you think the band is ever going to ROAR like this ever again, sorry but that just ain't ever going to happen again pal....

[calicojohncash]

By FAR, my favorite era of the Stones...what I'd give to see them then...

[rajjar52]

Killer slide work!

[deltabluesmanful]

Mick Taylor is awesome, and he has done loads after the stones he played with jack bruce, alvin lee toured with dylan. His solo record in 79 is fantastic just happens that it was released when all the punk and new wave shit was popular so never got much air time, a real shame.

[hondo137]

This video shows the Stones at the peak of their power and they have never come close to sounding like this. These songs from this period 1969-72 are simply the best that rock & roll can offer. Mick Taylor plays incredibly in this song and the rest of the band is amazing. I have seen them live twice with Ron Wood and it's not even close who the better guitarist is. Mick Taylor wins hands down. I hope when they tour next that they have Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman back. It would be amazing.

[adamhart85]

Hollywood Alive by Adam Hartmann

[honkytonkwomen69]

Qué pena que Mick Taylor dejase la banda ya que le daba un toque de calidad que no lo aporta Ronnie. Me gusta mucho como toca Ronnie, pero no se puede comparar con Taylor.

[seanharve]

Must agree with majority of comments. Mick T's guitar is so perfect. Cool dude

[ingenuitas]

I've never seen a group more dominated by one of it's members than the Rolling Stones and the dominate member was Mick Taylor. Those other guys were just props for his guitar solos.

[pantherboy3231]

@ingenuitas Are you fucking kidding? That's the easiest shit to do.. solo over everything. Keith just kept the band together for 50 years and wrote 90% of the music. Yeah Mick Taylor has done so much without the stones.

[sysdneyjan]

Keith has never given Mick T. the credits he deserves ....

[BrickLaneBetty]

MICK TAYLOR BEST MUSICIAN OF THE 70s!!!

[Andoy1]

The Stones sounded great in this period with Taylor -- they're missing a lead player sorry Ron

[elieattie]

great performance so intense and wild

[keeeeeeeeeeeef91]

i love fat chicks because there is more to grab on to

[boweryhester]

in this ladies & gentlemen version you wonder who's doin all that incredible slide work, and closeups of keith and jacky flash jumpin around the stage with that glitter shit makes it matter less. check the earlier performance "Rolling Stones - All Down The Line - Live '72 Fort Worth" where the cameraman spent more time on MT - leaves no question MT's awesome slide work is what makes these songs the blues rock masterpieces they are. live versions after 1975 with woody just don't cut it.

[gureibobin]

Amazing slide and Les Paul

[bjmccrary]

Bobby Keys!!

[thatfingio]

Can`t stop watching trhis

[10ccalanarkush]

keef's doing the behind the scenes hard work on this one - mick's job's easy: playing bluesy slide in open G

[lucianovolume]

@10ccalanarkush Mick job aint easy, and he plays slide in standard tuning. i agree about keith he is a fantastic rhythm player.

[MMRJL]

the zenith of rock and roll.

[wanblupi]

I saw em in 72 in San Diego. No one now can touch this shit!

[chinahands100]

this is why the stones fuck over u2 and every other band that followed at their peak..they were perfect in every way.

[keeffan49]

@chinahands100 Damn right. This is rock n roll!

[cracks21229]

This is the freaked out, coked up, version. I like it!

[canadianchewie1]

God i wish i could have seen 1 '72 RS show...

[jokowwenna]

@canadianchewie1

me2, i would offer my leftarm for that

[suckzinclee]

Fucking sterling!

[LaMaisondeCasaHouse]

It looks so easy when they do it :)

[MrJerryw08]

Taylor new his place and that was to frame the Music of Mick and Keeeef and none did it better. MT needs to be on there last tour and I believe he will.

[mikeymach5]

taylor was a bitchen add to the band too bad hes not still makin it! shit!!! he stood this band up straight!! f-na

[shoesheep]

I need a shot of salvation baby, once in a while...

[tjanson]

This is so good. Nice raw rock and roll. They have such a good energy.

[joegarbino]

This live version sounds so much better then the studio one. IMO

[jbstonesfan]

simply the best ever

[rothsuede]

Is this concert from the movie" the 15 greatest hits that made the stones famous?

[9KPhalak]

I forgot about this song. It's great, love it. I don't know why they don't play it at their concerts nowadays. Thanks for posting.

[MMRJL]

@9KPhalak though is a pretty good live version in the Scorcese movie from last tour-time, so maybe it'll return more widely next tour(?)

[rickster1957]

Wood you rather watch RW run around and make Faces or listen to awesome guitar licks by MT?

[4188MQ]

This was the best tuning that the Stones ever did on "All Down the Line!" This was the groove that made the Stones. They were hittin' on all cylinders here....

[4188MQ]

This was the best tuning that the Stones ever did on "All Down the Line!" This was the groove that made the Stones.

[20sovereign]

Man Mick Taylor could really play

[TheTelecaster14]

why does taylor stand so still?

[ndnjensen98]

@TheTelecaster14 he always standing still maybe about to concentrate on his guitar playing !

[Funkyfeder]

@ndnjensen98 heßs a calm guy and absolute concentrated. you can not jump and play like he´s doing, or he cant but also amazing is the way keith was playing inthis time relly fat absolute nunique not a virtuose but a absolute raw and powerfueld style god i love it

[Clarknewby]

@TheTelecaster14

Because the Stones treated Taylor like a kid because he was younger. They didnt give him credit for the songs he played lead guitar and they made him stay in the back. I read something about Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman commented that Taylor was the most talented. Also Keith was very jealous of his skills so....

[TheTelecaster14]

@Clarknewby I agree a bit here, but i don't think keith and mick wanted mick t to leave, keith writes in his autobiography that he loved Mick t's lead playing...

[Clarknewby]

@TheTelecaster14

Oh thanks for letting me know. I mean they had arguments and stuff but you are probably right as well.

[triscat]

@TheTelecaster14 Keith probably ordered him to DON'T FUCKING MOVE!

[Beekay2002]

@TheTelecaster14

because he's a placid character. that's half the beauty to his playing. his guitar sounds so fucking intense and joyful! yet he's playing like 'yeah mate, fucking boring and easy'. It's fantastic !!!!

[ndnjensen98]

@Beekay2002 i would say his only concentraded to his guitarplaying thats all !

[hammer41184]

@TheTelecaster14 ....also contrasted with a singer who moves so much that he looses a couple lbs. each show!

[robielv]

@TheTelecaster14 cause he second better than hendrix,any disagrements?!he was better than good and it\s a shame him and keith couldnt see eye to eye

[nightporter23]

@TheTelecaster14 Who needs to move when you have Jagger and Richards onstage with you ? :-) Wyman sussed that at the start and had an eaaaaasy life !

[thatfingio]

@TheTelecaster14 He can stand how he fuckin wants to if he`s going play guitar like tha\t ! :)

[rickster1957]

@TheTelecaster14 Would you rather watch Taylor stand still and play awesome licks and solos or watch Ron W run around like a chicken with its head cut off playing terrible guitar?

[ebf1957]

@rickster1957

Awsome licks and solos.

[lmbfunk]

@TheTelecaster14 cos he's too stoned to move around ...

[georgeion58]

@TheTelecaster14 Mick Taylor is calm kind of guy who plays with his soul and thats why he's so beautiful

[coatesy29]

@TheTelecaster14 ...because his shit is white fuckin' hot and when you have that much juice as a guitar player there's no time for jumpin' around like a clown (apologies to Ron Wood)...

[ndnjensen98]

@coatesy29 exactly !

[Harryn58]

@TheTelecaster14 You ever tried to play slide guitar?

[youamwho]

@TheTelecaster14  ...why ask why?

[indigocomputer]

@TheTelecaster14 Because for most of these gigs he was drunk off his a-- and it was all he could do to remain vertical, let alone move around the stage.

[slambot71]

@TheTelecaster14

Did you ever play slide guitar? If you move a lot it just doesn't work. There are no frets, so close doesn't count. In fact, close sounds like garbage. You have to play right on the note. That's why Mick Taylor isn't moving much. On the songs in which he's not playing slide he moves a bit more.

[wkg55]

@slambot71 It's his personality. Playing slide isn't so much the factor. MT even when he is not playing slide is very placid and introverted. But his playing on this track is full of fire. Much like John Coltrane. Happy New Year! Bless!

[beggar81]

Which dvd is this from? There used to a lower quality upload of this performance where you could hear the brass section better, and I can almost swear there is a keyboard accompaniment which you can't hear at all in this upload.

[jcmscience]

Yep...the greatest rock and roll band...ever...

[cn854]

Taylor grooving at 0:19 is obviously a different clip but goes to show he didn't stand still like Wyman. Great view of Keys and Price at 3:26

[sonicsteev]

come on lets dance!!

[Exiles800]

Taylor and Wyman standing still and concentrating on the MUSIC. Mick the jumping jack flash comfortably too loose in his trousers but never better...

[oclero]

OMG Taylor! So good!!

[NYCPUBS]

GOING DOWN 5TH AVE NYC , ON THE 17 OF MARCH 2011 ( ST.PATTY'S DAY ) PARADE , WERE YOUR GREEN , CHEERS ,
