The Mick Taylor Stones were the best Stones.

@dugitomi yep I agree with you! My ears prefer Taylor's years! Well, my first Stones thing i got was jumpin jack flash on 45 in 1968... I remember seeing it on top of the pops, my mum and dad saying 'god look at them, with their disgusting hair'.. I was only 11..but I thought they looked and sounded amazing...Me and my best mate bought the 45.. played it over and over and over again... :) I think in the end it's my secret favourite Stones song, although at the moment I'm really into Loving Cup..

Anyone know what Mick Jagger says to Taylor just before he started the solo from the tumbling dice Version two ?!

[dugitomi]

@markymark21c yes, for 40 years, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street, have been a majority of Stone's listening time, with Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street leading B Banquet and Let It Bleed. Not degrading any of their music, but most of my favorites include Mr. Taylor. My opinion wants to like the Mr. Wood era Stones better, but my ears prefer Mr. Taylor era. Sticky Fingers was my first album 40 years ago, an 8-track tape, 4 'sides' with 2 split songs.

I prefer the take 2 ! Mick Jagger sings it with a very cool voice ! And i love the solo by mick taylor ! Just Great .

[markymark21c]

@dugitomi Yes I agree totally. The second take is far sexier, more grooved. I have always loved Taylor's work during his stay with the Stones, but I know Keith prefers the 'weaving', as he calls it, of two guitars becoming inseperable, when he played with Jones and now Wood. Taylor was always the 'lead' guitarist, and yes, a fabulous one with the Stones! Anyway, the Montreux rehearsals are the Stones in fabulous form, at the height of their powers.

[dugitomi]

@markymark21c yes indeed, and also notice how they slowed the tempo just a bit so the dynamics of the groove have time to ignite by the time of Mr. Taylor's main solo, which is one of the most pristinely perfect solos of rock history. Mr. Richards said this song should be played slower than Mr. Jagger likes it to be played, and the reasons are evident with this archival footage showing a slower version, then a faster version, in sequence. a matter of taste, but musically the 2nd version wins.

It's not all about how well you can play, it's about the songs you can create.

I was watching Kiss concert videos, and as fun as their show is, their music is lifeless & dull. I put this video on & immediately felt my ass shake & my feet shuffle! There are so few rock 'n' roll bands that groove like the Stones- THIS is why they're considered "the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world" because they fucking groove goddammit! lol

Tumbling Dice has got to be one of the best songs ever. Love the intro to it.

Very good video.

Stones Forever
