Best version ever heard - no wonder, it's his own tune...
As for those who want to see something: this is from the CD; there doesn't exist a video from this gig, as far as I know.
Every time I listen to this masterpiece of guitar work it sends shivers down my spine...

killer soloing....
-
the power of the slow groove, patience can be heavy...

@kpzrocks Politics!

@shidoobee I don't think the Stones even played until not so long ago! I loved the original, then got hit by Alvin Youngblood Heart's superb cover, and now this. A-freaking-mazing. Taylor is just sooooo good!
-
Thanks so much for this recording.
Certainly, Taylor's playing here is brilliant-even better than his playing on the Stones version.
When I first saw that the track was over 7 minutes long, I winced, fearing some self-indulgent soloing. But his solo is really melodic and passionate all the way through.
As for Olson's vocal, it's really strong. I never even heard of her until about-well, 7 minutes and change ago.

it took the stones 3 times to get a 2nd guitar player that didn't overshadow them with their overall musicianship..they wouldn't have been nearly as great with-out brian jones or mick taylor and they know it.

the sound that comes from his guitar is freaky... I purchased the Rolling Stones issue with the top 100 guitarists. Keith Richards was 5. Mick Taylor was 37??????????????"? Really?????
-
He was better than Keith Richards.. That is for sure!!!! Who joins the Rolling Stones at 20 years of age?????? Are you kidding me? The slide guitar is amazing.......
-
I have not seen Mick. What an amazing guitarist. My loss!!! I was 7 when he played with the Stones. What an amazing talent..

Saw Mick at Bearsville in Woodstock,NY 2009? then he cancelled tour. Hung with Max Middletons wife and my girlfriend saw Mick in the hallway very tall had a sore throat !. I also saw him with John Mayall Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ 1982 , we had 6th row seats you can see us holding a sign in video.He played the Les Paul he used to use through Marshall & Ampeg amps awesome !

Did Mick ever play Sway live until the Olsen record ? I saw him a few times in the 80's ; audiences would beg for Sway & other Exile \ Sticky Fingers stuff , to no avail.

Very interesting question. I don't know. But does that matter? Can't imagine there is a better version than this one...
