I dont know your musical preference but ive listened to it all for more than 40 years now and Taylor is the best guitar player I have ever heard!!!!!!!!!!! I think his talent made this band great. I mean great. Sorry if I offend you. Kieth is good too, Taylor is a much better musician.

Hey there people (some of you),

this is not about 12Trucks, 15 Sound/Stage engineers, V.I.P.Lounge, Brass-section , 6 background-Voices, two pianos and so on...........this is about MICK TAYLOR - playing his guitar right in front of you

I'm pleased to see that Mick Taylor has aged so well. Better than I have, ferinstance.

@Lafforte What are you talking about? Search for "mick taylor red house" from Stranger in this Town and tell me if you still think he is "close to pathetic".

[georgerism]

blind willie is my favorite bluesman of all time even more so than robert johnson or skip james they all paved the way for the best music ever mick does a great job dont understand those who are dissing him

[Lafforte]

Gawd, he's bad. I saw him with Mayall in the mid-80s and he had such gorgeous tone, although he was a jerk and played LOUDLY right over Mayall... which in a way was not that bad because Mayall is not a good singer. But it was still nasty stage "manners" to drown out the boss. But he's close to pathetic now.

I saw him maybe 10 years ago. He never switched guitars or tuning. He played with a slide a third of the time, without a slide a third of the time, and spent the other third looking through his pockets or the slide . He was great.

I need some explaination, Does he (fcking play) with a bottleneck on a guitar in standart tunning or Chordtunning ( like a G,E or whatever) ??

Like this a lot! Blind Willie was a phenom, and it was great that Dylan wrote a song about him. And MT's interpretation is great. How can anybody not appreciate this, I have no idea. Thanks for posting it!
