Rolling Stones / Midnight Rambler / Live '73 (pt. 2)

[stonesrule65]

Mick Taylor was the best pl/ayer ever..alongside Keith. ronnie is ok...

but often just average....listen to Keith between 3-4 minutes here....

did he ever play that hard w/Ronnie...nope

[FanOfJanis]

Hey, we've all got our opinions,and that's cool Tell you what, though. I've seen The Rolling Stones ENTIRE CAREER (Yeah, I've been aroudn that long!). Mick Taylor was great and all, true. However, after nearly 50 years, I can tell you that KEITH RICHARDS was/is the heart and soul of The Rolling Stones.

I saw him live in 1979 with The New Barbarians. Mick Taylor had NOTHING on Keith! Keith played AMAZING lead at that show. Rhythm guitar? Keith is the world's best. My opinion only.

[espdemon]

This was when the Stones were the biggest and the best band in the world.

[cyclOpster]

Mick Taylor rocks and rules!

[neilus]

oh for fucks sake, Taylor was a pentatonic wanker like all of us and he played mediochre stuff...stop idolising him, he never fitted in with the razor edge nastiness of what the stones needed...

[espdemon]

@neilus I know what you mean, but I gotta disagree... Taylor and Richards were absolutely perfect. Richard's grimy & sleazy rhythms and Taylor's melodic meandering solos. Sounds much better then when Ronnie Wood joined the band.

[mcddtlc]

@neilus - Your off your rocker or don't know SHIT about MUSIC - wanker - go away!!

[cochisewolf]

fuckin outstanding!!

[DeathsNephew]

i heard taylor left coz of jaggers ...um ...distinct personality havent confirmed that just so you know taylor was responsible for sympathy FACT! just wish i couldve seen em back in the hay day still one of the top five r&r band of all time

[steveconn]

@DeathsNephew Taylor didnt join until a year after sympathy had been recorded.

[DeathsNephew]

i heard taylor left coz of jaggers ...um ...distinct personality havent confirmed that just so you know taylor was responsible for sympathy FACT!

[clive388]

this is why kieth is such a damn good rhythm guitar player. he knows exactly what to play behind any soloing guitar player to make him sound so good. just like malcolm with angus.

[floridashorti]

holy shit barely 16 seconds into it & i've already got goosebumps....RIGHTEOUS JAM y'all

[sgtdarkness1]

@floridashorti It would only take me 10 seconds LW..........yep, I'm a bad boy.........SMILE and GRINNNNN at the same time.........gotcha......

[LilMissLuckyRider]

Mick Taylor craps all over Ron Wood

[desertmix]

I love the studio version but this is on another level altogether.

[exileonmainest]

This is magnificent !.

[Nielsanderspoulsen]

Keith and Mick T... guitars speaking like direct from soul and heart !

[dockaiser]

Mick T was a slide god as well

[fendermac]

I've just watched a stinker with Ron Wood fumbling his way through this classic.The Taylor line up was the Stones' strongest by a mile.

[amsongonfia]

creepy ending! Rolling the best

[steveb501]

this was the best the stones ever were period

[wayne2pain]

This is much better >>> Thx

AHA

[wayne2pain]

oh come, You go on and stop it a the worst possible moment, I was about to

mess myself........... ? What a buzzkill

AHA

[ALURASOM]

Change at 6:08. No one on the earth...

[crowechick66]

HOLY CRAP it does not get any better than that!! low down dirty nasty rock and roll!

[Jethro494]

Sounds sorta like Duane Allman.

[Nielsanderspoulsen]

@Jethro494 Dont think so, but Mick Taylor and Duane were the very best, each of them so much blues feeling.

[malafe1234]

wooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Mick Taylor guitar..way up outer space.

[rwarren72]

nice. Taylor raised everybody's game here for sure.

[LaMaisondeCasaHouse]

wow mick taylor had a really sweet guitar tone...

[claptongroupie]

where can someone get hold of this gem? would love to find the cd...thanks so much for sharing :-)

[hacknroll]

no one sounds like this !!!!

[malafe1234]

Taylor was fucking genius

[Beachman98]

True utopian magic.....the Stones, with the unsung but

brilliant Taylor....were the epitome of rock and roll:)

[Jethro494]

@Beachman98  He's not really unsung, but the reason he's not more well known is because didn't release anything approaching the quality of the recordings he did with the Stones after he left. I say that as a huge fan of Mick Taylor.

[UmbrellaFitzgerald]

simply blistering guitar...listen to the fucking tone!!!

[mikeerowee]

my computer is melting

[mikeerowee]

sounds dangerous... but I like it.

[12greismans34]

again the stones were at their best with mick talor

[Laughincow]

I was there!

Brussels '73...

[jamal49]

I have this on a soundboard bootleg vinyl called "Stones in Europe". It's amazing. They were peaking with M Taylor whose guitar slices like a razor. The band was simply TOO HOT and during this period blew any other band right off the stage. Here, they truly were the Greatest Rock n Roll Band In the World. No one could touch them. And, then, Keith began to decay from his habit and the band went from GREAT to good to mediocre to crap. Still love 'em though, always and forever.

[michaelp3138]

the best live "creep" part of this tune i've ever heard - fucking epic - everybody brings it together beautifully in the first few minutes of this recording - it just doesn't get any better than this!!

[Falkowski82]

yo

can someone make me a copy of this.

JON

[MemphisBlueAgain]

Best version?

[mcddtlc]

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!

[ammccg]

n' the hell will take us to heaven

[EneriGiilaan]

Excellent, but apparently due to YouTube limitations this is cut about half. The full "Brussels Affair" version is 12:41 and it just rocks from the start.

[1Bluesboy1]

This is Pt 2. CeeCeeRider has posted Pt 1 as well. Youtube has length limits.

[EneriGiilaan]

You are of course right. It stands "(pt. 2)" right in the name of the video - how could I miss it. Anyhow, thanks for the correction.

[louiseduvee]

Best on the net!

[bacardibum]

love this song. especially the part where the crowds yells back.

[lightbulb82]

MIck Taylor = Godly

[demonsbutterfly]

From 17 secs in this is the stones reaching their peak. this is the moment. The whole band and the crowd JUST GO OFF!!

[kimmer3906]

Very Cool! Check out the Stereoblasters version of this classic song!

[xxmustardyummyxx]

best mick vocals ever, dark low sound at 3:48-4:48 most powerful stones segmant ever

[nextstar5]

The Taylor/Richards instrumental break ain't bad, neither!

[1Bluesboy1]

Wow! This version smokes!
