  • Mick is so stoned in this video!

  • Comment removed

  • Taylor is to me the greatest electric slide guitarist of the genre. Johnny Winter was the best acoustic slide guitarist to me.

  • Even God knows that the best sounding version was on Get Yer Ya Ya's Out from Baltimore 1969. Taylor plays the most incredible SLIDE guitar solo. It kills this standard tuned solo that he is obviously feeling too. No one probably cares though because they would rather hear someone kinda overplay or play the most common shit like on this solo.

  • @cameltooth1 How the hell can you dislike this? Taylor plays like an angel. He always looked like that (miserable) even when he was in open tuning!

  • HANDS DOWN. THE BEST ROLLING STONES IS WITH MICK TAYLOR.  BLESS HIM.

  • Mick Taylor was a man truly at one with his instrument. The last solo he does proves it.

  • @TracyFClark Yes, what a fucking player! And still only 21 at this time. Who cares if he never smiles?!!

  • This is my very favorite version of this song Mick Taylor is so versitile and smooth as a baby's ass in his treatment of the lead if you really like this try to find them playing this on a vinyl album circa 1971 European Tour this makes me very happy just to listen

  • That was the time I fell in love with music, i.e. Stones

  • One of the best lead guitar solos in rock n roll history.

  • @ls1959 IMHO THE best !.... Prodigious !!!

  • @ls1959 Yes! I love how he turns down the guitar's volume knob at the end of the last solo so he can execute those tasty outro licks.

  • GREat MICK TAYLOR ON THAT ...Thanks man love it!!

  • I saw the Stones in L.A. in 69 and again in 72, and those concerts were incredibly powerful. Who would have guessed that "Exile on Main Street" would have been the Stones best damn album of all time ? The blues power on that record (you rock Mr. Taylor) was just amazing !

  • @TheTerryLipford Wow, youre so lucky you got to see them live backi in those days! though I saw them live in 2007 (13yrs'o). Must say that Exile and Sticky fingers are my two favourite studio albums, and I also love Get Yer Ya's Out live album (especially sympathy for the devil, stray cat blues and Midnight rambler). Wish we had more of this quality music in these days!

  • The version from "Ya Ya's" was the coolest because of the slide guitar solos.

  • Wow. They have sucked for so long now, it's important to go back and see how really great they once were.

  • I don't know what is the best tour between 72 STP and the European 73 ( brussels affair particulary ) i would have some movie of the 73 tour ... I can't compare really ...

  • @fondofrory I saw them on the '73 tour and they were great but I would give my right arm to have been there at MSG in '72 just to hear Bye Bye Johnny.

  • @broadband0118 Man ... we are on the same way ... Bye Bye Johnny from ladies and gentlemans is just the TOP of rock'n roll :D

  • 40 years old, but ETERNAL !... Mick Taylor is outstanding... Outstanding... awesome... Pure genius... 

  • Comment removed

  • @mindlesspup who cares its dirty and awesome the playing is amazing fuck it

  • Mick, Ron, Mick, Ron......??? Hey, does it matter? I love all the Taylor stuff yeah, but I remember the first album I bought was Black and Blue for Hey Negrita... a woody tune. Y can't beat the camaraderie between Keef an' Ronnie though ;-)

  • @MrShakedown1972 Yes, it does matter. How the hell can you compare Hey Negrita with anything on Sticky Fingers or Exile. Hey Negrita!!?? fuck me you must be having a laugh!

  • I'm awfully sorry @broadband0118 , but if you had told me that you know fucking everything I certainly wouldn't have had my two cents... I thought we we're all entitled to our opinions, seems not. @broadband0118 has the final say on what's good and what's not. Bell end.

  • @MrShakedown1972 You are clearly a very sensitive soul whom I appear to have upset. Strangely enough, I am entitled to my own opinions too, you fucking knob.

  • @broadband0118 yes, you are entitled to your own opinion, of which I didn't make comment. I am a sensitive guy, yes, but am not in the least perturbed by pricks on the other end of a computer. Get a grip you fucking retard. I'll leave it there you fucking moron.

  • @MrShakedown1972 OK, let's call a truce. All the best my American cousin, at least we both love the Stones!

  • @broadband0118 a truce is a great idea. But where did you get the idea I was American? I'm from Liverpool, England, you may have heard of it ;-)

  • @MrShakedown1972 I assumed you were American as you mentioned two cents. All the best.

  • Please don't call people names on the computer. It doesn't speak well of you or you mother.

  • Taylor was great. Praises to Ronny for being amazing and a true Rolling Stone even today in 2012!!!

  • What is this from?

  • @joshjaccard24 STP Tour 1972 (Stones Touring Party) also available on Ladies & Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones DVD

  • @joshjaccard24 from the "Ladies & Gentlemen" DVD... The Best Stones Tour ever...

  • ...ain't much one can say...just sit back and enjoy rolling stones at what they do best...damn!!!!!!!!

  • Mick Taylor.....oustanding, the years with him were definetely the best......that was rock'n roll........ thanks for sharing this video.........magic

  • Jagger and Mick Taylor on TOP

  • just imagine in 2012 they announce a tour with taylor and wyman

  • Smooth.

    

  • faaaaaaaantastic!!! yeah Mick Taylor's guitar is so great... i do LUV the Rolling Stones, each and everyone from 1962 till now but Keith and Ronnie don't possess the magic touch of Mick Taylor's guitar unfortunately... GREAT YEARS OF THE STONES were with Mick Taylor

  • what model and colour of les paul is mick taylor playing? standart? i love it

  • 1:50

  • Beautiful.

  • oh my gosh. great piece. Magnetic rift.

  • Can't be bored to look at the terrific end of this song ! Mick Taylor up this one on an untouchable level ..

  • Comment removed

  • mick taylor's guitar works on the stones records period makes the sound everybody loved, thats that'' noke cleveland.

  • gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues, please....

  • Keith Richards and Mick Taylor together: best four hands guitar ever made.

  • Comment removed

  • so good

  • I'm beginning to thing the British appreciate American music more than Americans.

  • @Zyworski stones r british .....so british !!!!

  • @bradlarj Yes, but the tune itself was written by some poor old nigger down in the South.

  • There are plenty of guitarists that have better and faster technical chops than someone like Taylor. But it's the emotion that the lead creates that produces the magic for me. This solo is one of my favorites of all time because it just sounds and feels soooooooo damned good. For lead guitar loving fans, I recommend Neal Schon on Look into the Future, before Journey went commercial. That is both a technical and a melodic masterpiece of immense proportions.

  • 3 people must be living on mars. wait, or the moon lmfao

  • @Afrolunatic Probably the reason they voted dislike is that the majority of the video is of Mick Jagger when it should have been focused on Mick Taylor and Keith Richards. For it is their guitar playing that makes this song, not MJ's singing.

  • If someone says something about 3 people must be living on Mars, or the Moon, then I think I'll puke!!! So sick of these comments!!!

  • Charlie actually makes a mistake at 6:13 "WOW", rare, and Mick and Mick both seem surprised. Great Video, thanks for posting

  • @dlprinting

    Good observation!

  • The best years for the stones were with Mick Taylor by far! Mick and Keith really should have kissed his ass a bit to keep him around....the music drastically suffered when he left.

  • @mortalengines65

    So true! Ron Wood can't even carry Taylor's guitar case. Nor fill his shoes!

  • @420albedo - Ron Wood would say the same thing and not have any hurt feelings over it.

  • @420albedo well Ron rocks a whole lot more than Mick,and he does a great team with Keith

  • @mortalengines65 It was drastically suffering when he was around. C'mmon, It's Only Rock and Roll? Pretty crappy record for the Stones terms

  • @EvilAnticsLive You have to be kidding. So 'Shattered' is a masterpiece then? The Stones were at their best in the years between '69 to '74, which happen to be the years Mick Taylor was present. I'm sorry but no one will be able to convince me that the Stones were better off as a band (in terms of music quality) after Taylor left

  • @seanyb109 That's great. And if you're referring to Some Girls (since Shattered is only a single and not an album) no it isn't a "masterpiece" (if you refer to masterpieces being one in a million, having an affect on you and completely changing your thoughts on music or whatever the topic is in general) but it is an outstanding 5/5 star record. If you're going to tell me that It's Only Rock N Roll is better than Some Girls, you're nuts. Plus, Goats Head Soup wasn't a game changer either.

  • @EvilAnticsLive Fair call dude, I still love their early stuff though. For me, I never really get into entire albums from the Stones, I like individual songs from all different albums. Ladies and Gentlemen still has probably the best collection of the Stones live work though ahha :P

  • @EvilAnticsLive Check out the tune Winter off of Goats Heads Soup. Another great guitar performance by Mick Taylor. Stands with the best of the Stones material even though it wasn't a hit. Angie was the hit off of Goats Head Soup.

  • @seanyb109 Who could disagree that the best years were '69-'74? It can be no coincidence that Taylor just happened to be in the band during those years. The man was inspired, touched by genius. I love listening to these clips and also reading comments from so many other people who recognise his immense talent.

  • @mortalengines65

    that's true

    i make your words mine!

  • @mortalengines65 yeah , very true. the main reason for him to leave was, that greedy selfish kick and keith refused to give him credit for songs he co wrote . for example : time waits for no one, was his music. I love mick and keiths music, but it was taylor who inspired and made them write the best music. his guitar playing is a class of his own..... cheers boys berh

  • ha ha regarding 'the best' youtube is full of guys that are faster than hendrix, page, vai etc... my interpretation of 'best' regarding electric is how you make that baby cry especially with blues... measure the size of your goosebumps to find the 'best'... for me, its Hendrix, he used that guitar as a medium between his soul and the audience... but seriously its like going into an art gallery and picking your one favourite artist when there are masterpieces all round from others... just feel it

  • using the word 'best' is your guys main arguing point... its like saying red is the best colour, then someone arguing that blue is best... Mick Taylor owns this video without question, beautiful last solo, stuck to one scale mostly though, wasnt running the neck... if it sounds good it is

  • @blacksaxmusic So true. Peace.

  • Comment removed

  • @cameltooth1

    i don't listen to page, clapton or hendrix.

    i love rock n roll and am not interested in who can play who's music, or who is better or equally as good. just shut up with your pretentious shit and enjoy the music.

  • @Beekay2002

    admittedly, wheeling out the f-bomb was poor form on my behalf.

  • @Beekay2002 Cool. Enjoying much music all the time. Hope that you might listen to early songs from the artists you and i mentioned. There r some very beautiful songs to find.

  • @cameltooth1

    i've listened and most likely been influenced in my own playing by those guys.

    but a simple little lick on the slide/or off by taylor can just STING me in a way that a lot of guitarists can't. albert king the same.

    jeff beck.... well he's just another story.

  • STING - i would class him as an inspiration for me.... not for the music that he makes, but the fact that hes making that music, i respect that

  • Rory can't touch Page. Anyone who plays the same boring shit isn't as exciting as someone who plays exotic scales once in a while. Listen to B.B.

  • look @the 6min mark - mick jagger looks at mick taylor playing final solo thinking 'gee the boy can play!'

  • @cameltooth1 yeah somehow "rock" just became a junk draw term that includes anything. Rock and Roll in its pure form is blues blues blues

  • Classic, genius, incredible! I feel it...sing it Mick..play it Mick!!

  • wow! thanks for sharing.

  • Comment removed

  • Me encantan los Stones cuando tocan country. Lo de Mick Taylor es alucinante cómo toca la guitarra, es de los más finos guitarristas que yo he visto o escuchado, una pena que dejara la banda.

  • mick taylor, el mejor, excelente ejecución, listen robert johnson.......

  • thanx for sharig cheers

  • Keith wrote better music than Clapton did for real.....Clapton cant play slide as good as Mick Taylor..Page could but Eric Clapton aint that great on slide for real. Jimi Hendrix rarely ever played slide at all. in the end id say Jimmy page was the best over all Guitar player of them all including Clapton and Hendrix.

  • @MrJsmyers The best was Rory gallagher ... On slide especially ! And his lead felling was just amazing ( and don't forget that page was ONLY guitarist , clapton hendrix gallagher sang,played lead etc ) Jimmy page has nothing to do with players like Gallagher or Clapton ^^

  • bla bla bla

    Keith said himself he did not suit the stones

    He is mediocre, He does not hold a candle to clapton to page and he is a dim dim light in a Hendrix universe

    I don't think you even play guitar ..

  • @S7E4L7H mick taylor play guitarr like a god. you know nothing :)

  • @S7E4L7H Bullshit...He might not be as good as Jimmy Page man but he could play some awesome guitar and he invented a lot of nice solos...This one on Love in vain, Time Waits for No One..Winter....Mick taylor could hang with Page /Hendrix or Clapton or Jeff Beck...Im not saying he is better than these cats but he is in their League for sure!

  • @MrJsmyers Mick Taylor can flat out play! In his own rite he is the best....

  • @pat45068 I Like that ..you and I both Love Mick Taylor and he is great......The best years of The Stones happened when he was with them...great slide player and no one sounds like him...You can call him the best..He always blew my mind...I like his solo song Alabama..Great work on that....Love Mick Taylor and Im glad you do to.

  • @S7E4L7H You're a moron. Comparing guitarists is like comparing blue to orange.

  • I think this is Mick Taylor's best solo with the Stones, I mean the closing solo!

  • @supsailor1885 IMHO the slide solo is the best of the two. (Deceptively) simple slide, but so deep feeling... unique!

  • Mick Taylor's guitar solo, especially in this is so electrifying.. gives me chills!

  • The Taylor Stones era will always be their best work. Mick is an amazing guitarist!!!!

  • Best thing that ever happened to the stones! Mick Taylor.

  • Es una pena que Mick Taylor dejara la banda ya que es uno de los grandes guitarristas de la historia, le daba un salto de calidad a los Stones. También admiro a Ronnie pero no tiene el talento que tenía Taylor.

  • I saw this concert, and 39 years later one of the memories I still have is Taylor's guitar work on this song.

  • Great song and version; up until now I'd only seen/heard the 1969 Hyde Park one. And who put two dislikes on this !

  • mick taylor was just too good for the stones althought they are still the best

  • il vero genio era Brian Jones.

  • Awesome.

  • Oh yes, MT rules! Phrasing, fluidity, everything.

  • keith's face at 2:17 would make a really cool poster, with the yellow light

  • Eh.. I love the stones I really like the Mick Taylor Era of the stones by far the best Stones Era ... but he was just a mediocre player.. certainly no Clapton

    Definitely could not hold a candle to Clapton or Jimi or Jeff Beck

    Ronnie Wood suits the stones better

  • Do you know anything about guitar? Hell, Mick Taylor REPLACED calpton when he joined the Blues-breakers. Clapton, Beck, and Hendrix are great guitarists, but, i mean, LISTEN to Mick Taylor. He is among the best. Calling him mediocre is blasphemy. Punk Guitarists are mediocre, not Mick Taylor.

  • @brandonlace

    Mediocre was a good way to place him as a lead player. His solo's are boring cannoodling where as Clapton's phrasing is way way way better... I mean Mick Taylor's phrasing stinks he playes boring up and down scales kind of solo ing

    So I will ask do you know anything about guitar? Actually I am not asking your ignorance is proof you just want to idolize somebody knowing nothing about the art.

  • @S7E4L7H It`s funny, because at first I didn`t like Mick Taylor, because he left the stones. After I watched "Ladies and Gentleman" I couldn`t deny he was something special. If you don`t like his style, then fine, but don`t pretend to be some music snob by calling him a "mediocre" guitarist. I don`t really like Slash or Eddie Van Halen`s styles, but I don`t go around calling them mediocre. A Mediocre guitarist is someone who might be just good enough to play in clubs or something.

  • @brandonlace Oh fer fuck sake seriously Faaaaak off, Clearly you have nothing better to do but I do. He is mediocre his solo's are boring his phrasiing stinks. I pretend nothing I just don't think much of his solo ing at all for the reason he is BORING and his phrasing stinks. Link me one solo you think he is Awesome on and I will link you hundreds of better solo's by hundreds of other players that will blow him away let the music stand for what it is and stop arguing with me.

  • @S7E4L7H The hypocrisy in your statement is astounding. But I wish you a good day nonetheless. 

  • @brandonlace Well ? where is the link to any MT solo you would like to produce so I can compare it to anyone else and make it obvious to a moron even like yourself? find one! just one!

  • @brandonlace Well ? where is the link to any MT solo you would like to produce so I can compare it to anyone else and make it obvious to a moron even like yourself? find one! just one!

    I sugest you stop talking :p and produce your one fvourite MT solo or even one you think is his best and put up or ..

    shadup lol find a MT solo and I will compare it to clapton and hendrix and you will see how they phrase well and he does not phrase at all

  • @S7E4L7H Sway is probably on of his best. Time waits for no one is great as well, but the real magic can be found on any bootlegs from 1972 and 1973 (A Brussels Affair is a good one) . But comparing guitarists is missing the point of Rock 'n Roll.

  • @S7E4L7H What an idiot ... How yo ucan say that he doesn't phrase well at the end of the song ??? Man i'm guitarist since 15 years old and i can say thats its pure feeling and pure skill . Untouchable mick Taylor

  • @S7E4L7H You seem convinced he's unworthy but Taylor's solo on Sympathy for the Devil just one example throughout Get Yer Ya Yas Out of pure soul and passion delivered with flawless graceful technique. I think that is universally acknowledged. The man's a genius live player and amazing chemistry with Keith. I love how he and Jagger are entranced in this clip and Taylor's face reveals emotion normally only evident in his music.

  • @S7E4L7H Only a mediocre player would call Taylor a mediocre player

  • @S7E4L7H He may not be the best, but.. can you play and record that slide solo and upload it for us, please?

  • @Ubertoblues

    Do you mean Jesus or the Holy Ghost or their bearded father?

  • 6:00 Don't tell me that Mick Taylor lacks of feeling!

  • I've been looking for that vid on youtube for years thank you so much for posting it. Brings back memories

  • I've been looking for that vid on youtube for years thank you so much for posting it. Brings back memories

  • Mick 'mad fingers' Taylor.... THE finest guitarist of his generation, showing the world how to play the lead guitar. So good it makes the hairs on your neck stand on end.

    Fookin awesome.

  • Ronnie wood is great but he will be forever shadowed by Mick Taylor's virtuoso playing, its too bad he didn't stay.

  • Ronnie wood is great but he will be forever shadowed by Mick Taylor's virtuoso playing, its too bad he didn't stay.

  • Everything that Taylor plays is like a bolt of lightning

  • I love Mick Taylor's vibrato. It's liquid.

  • 1 beattles fan..they could rrarely rock or play the blues like the Stones..ovverrated pop band loved by the masses

  • MT took the Stones to a whole new level while he was in the band

  • Mick Taylor just fucking tearing it up !

  • Comment removed

  • Mick Taylor's guitar solo is sublime.

  • Taylor is the best guitarist.

    I love this sound.

  • Uh no, Bobby Keys is not dead.

    

  • This is my favorite song in its favorite performance.  I'm really glad someone got this back on. This is my favorite of the Rolling Stones.

  • 1 person hit the wrong button.

  • The best of Mick the Taylor

  • Comment removed

  • MICK FUCKING TAYLOR SO UNDERRATED

  • Mick's solo at about 5.25 without the slide with Bobby Keys on sax in the background is simply incredible, if the Stones ever tour again I hope they bring both of these guys along.

  • @echster unforunately it will never happen. Bobby keyes is dead and Taylor didnt give "2 weeks notice" before he quit, right before they were going to go into the studio to record. I dont think Jagger has really forgiven him. But im with you . Would love to see mick Taylor tour with the band 1 last time. In fact MJ should realize that and think of the pull that would have at the gate. Break all box office records.! We would all get what we want!!!

  • @rickster1957 Bobby Keys is dead????

  • @echster Im Sorry! My Bad! Nicky Hopkins died not Bobby Keys! My alzheimers..Ill probably die berfore him

  • that night, the stones were drumming all down the line along the golden coast and fellows, jep, mick taylor, he rules. tremandous pretty best of blues at all. charly leading in the backs upon the base of bill and keith kicks the riffs. jagger is acting fine to.

  • I THINK THAT WAS HIS FREAKIN BEST!!!1

  • MT=greatest unknown guitarist of his generation....he and Keith made an art of the lead/rhythm combo that has never been replicated...

  • @jbstonesfan fuckin' right the ancien art of weaving they call it

  • Ohhh  the TONE!! I swoon from The Taylor vibrato!!

  • I have been playing this at least 10 times per day for the past week!! Just unbelievable that this is a live performance - the quality of the vocals and soloing is just out of this world.

  • This is my favorite clip ever of the Stones live. It was great the Stones finally remastered and released Ladies and Gentlemen. Captures the Stones at their absolute peak 19 friggin 72. Just a joy.

  • greatest version!!!!!!

    Taylor was the only guitarist who was allowed to face his face down when he's playing. GREATEST BLUES GUITARIST im sure

  • taylof man, the best guitarist that the sto nes ever had, richard stand in the shadow of him

  • They may not have done a better version of this song. This SMOKES.
