He really added a lot. Keith is a great song writer but seriously barely plays. Taylor filled the holes. Ron Wood is great and really shined in the faces but it’s like they barely let him be heard. Mick Taylor in the Stones was the best era
In the late 1970s and into the early 1989s, the first number of years with Ron Wood, they were still superb. Of course, loosing the solo abilities of Mick Taylor was a huge blow to the band, and noone will probably ever understand why he decided to leave in late 1974. A mistake of a lifetime. Misunderstanding the difference between being a super gifted guitarist and being a songwriter seems to have been the biggest problem, along with getting bad advice from some musician friends outside of the Stones, seem to have been the issues.
Signed! Keith gives great props to Mick Taylor in his autobiography (a must-read for any Stones fan) saying how exciting and fun it was to have a virtuoso guitar player in the band. Keith is a firm believer in the 2-guitarists school of rock.
@@vincenzostr4488 I will have to disagree with your opinion. Ronnie Wood is pretty good. The Rolling Stones was not his first gig. He was in really good bands before that. He is not a guitar God, but he is good.
The Stones with Taylor has no equal in the Universe. Mesmerizing, having so many scales inserted. He could over-do it. Sadly, in those days, the stack couldn't carry the low bass load in proportion to Charlie's snare/tom's and the guitars which come off "tinny." From the greatest rock and roll band to the greatest lounge band in 1 instant the moment Mick Taylor left the band........
Jagger's a world class performer, while Taylor's a world class musician. Taylor's the only one of those the group ever had, and I don't dislike the Stones, it just is what it is.
I saw that tour in Seattle probably one of the greatest rock and roll band In the world they were. The Taylor years they could gldo no wrong. Ronnie is good. He's not mick taylor. Just what stones would be doing if he never quit the band. Great show love yq
Very cool @Kevin Blake! I also was a fortunate attendee of one of the three shows at The Garden on that tour. They played a show onThanksgiving night (Thursday November 27th) and a matinee AND a late show on Friday the 28th of 1969. My $5.50 ticket (yes you read that right) got me a seat at MSG for “the breakfast show” as Mick J called it (because they didn’t go on until 10:30 PM. Freaking amazing to see and hear them with the great Mick T. on his first tour.
Mick Taylors searing and melodic solos were nothing less than a work of artistic genuis especially the way he weaved them around the rhythm guitar of Keith. He was one of a kind
Agree. I love them now, but I can't say that it is the best. The era of Mick Taylor is definitely the best. Of course, there is the best in the days of Brian and Ronie, but now is not the best.
Back then they played like a rock band,bill wyman quit at the right time they started to sound like a kareoke band by then,with lots of added gloss,which was fine for the consumate audience but boring for the die hard rock fans
The MT era was simply the best of the Stones. I'm a huge fan and love most all of it but this truly was them at their finest musically and especially live.
Megalodon Morrison : Pretty sure he wasn’t trying to surpass anyone. He was just putting all his passion in the guitar to make the most beautiful music.
Good point maybe so does anybody know the real story would love to hear it and as possible for a reunification one last time Mick Jagger and Mick Taylor, there talent was amazing. Does anybody out there know the true story
More like an “oh dumbshit “ moment for Mick Taylor. Gave up an equal 20% financial share in the greatest rock n roll band ever, never did anything noteworthy after leaving and basically ended up living in a van down by the river the rest of his life. One of the stupidest financial decisions in Rock history.
I remember that Melody Maker or NME headline. I was devastated. I knew the band would never be the same and I confirmed it when I went to both shows in Cologne in 1976. They were terrible. Ron Wood was great with the Faces thoug. What a pity!
@@patconner5791 Exactly! I once saw him in concert, he played some very repetitive blues songs and quite a few Stones numbers, ironically the Stones numbers were mostly written by Richards, Taylor's singing was awful although I gather he was unwell by then.
@@patconner5791 living in a van ? The 71-year-old Mick Taylor is in first place on the "People With Money" list of the top 10 highest-paid guitarists in 2020 with an estimated earnings of 46 million dollars, which he earned from various sources. The British guitarist has an estimated fortune of 145 million dollars.
dennis schallock That’s if Donald Trump is counting his money. Not sure where you were getting your information bubs but Mick Taylor has been near broke for 4 decades.
Very nice stuff! Thanks for sharing. Mick Taylor deserves his own place in the quirky ass R&R HOF and ranking as one of the top rock lead and blues guitarists of all time. I love the Stones and the Glimmer Twins, but know in my gut that MT got ripped by the Stones machine. Jagger and Richards should give MT 10+% royalties and or at least what other "official" band members got during his tenure. Really more bc MT was the most creative member behind Jagger and Richards. RIP Mr. Watts.
At the time this video was shot both Taylor and Clapton were in their prime; hard to say who was the best, Eric’s guitar playing on the Layla album is phenomenal.
@@giorgiorinaldi3535 I prefer Mick Taylor for his smooth and rich playing, he was the man who saved The Rolling Stones before they where jumping in the abyss of hard drugs. Eric Clapton ... come on, he's great but Mick toped any guitarist in this period, any.
Gimme shelter, 72??. Anyway, Mick Taylor was great with the stones, and certainly in the gimme shelter tour of 69’. I actually saw him solo in the middle 80s at a place called maxes on Broadway in fells point, Baltimore, Maryland. Was great to see him in such a small venue. Amazing and extraordinary guitarist indeed!
The line up with Mick Taylor had such a groove n feel the music - really top notch 1969 - 1976. However I do love the Rolling stones 2 death no matter what.🎸🎸🎸❤🎸🎸🎸🖖👍
I Agrēë, but they have Ãll, in Ãll Êrãs, have Given tōö the Stònes their Ãll, and it was a Masterpiece, a Sūpérnætūrãl Experience, but great or good the Stònes have carried Mê thru and thru, Always, Rämblïn, sorry, ¡😎🥚😎¡

This is ROCK and ROLL. Just stand there and play your guitar. No flash no no flare. Just stand there and light that Les Paul on fire. God I wish had a pinkys worth of that or any talent.
I love Mick Taylor, best guitarist they had by far, and that’s not putting Brian or Ronnie down, but their music from ‘69-‘74 is definitely the best. I think MT pushed Keith to another level. My only question is why does he stand with his head to the side looking at the fret? Is he shy, or that’s just him? When he’s on stage these past few years, he moves around a lot more
Bueno, bueno, no puedes olvidar los instrumentos que tocaba Brian, y ese halo mágico y especial que dio a muchos temas. Aunque a mí Mick también me gusta.
Swei con Carla olsen el solo de Taylor es sublime y en directo el mejor solo de guitarra de todos los tiempos y ninguneado como lo es Taylor! Sin duda el mejor guitarrista de la historia su sonido y es unico un genio
The Rolling Stones... I know the Rolling Stones ...every stage they played on the stage love them and they love the stage Perfect magic right there ...they had it then they have it now... nothing was given they earned every drop... the Rolling Stones are a fantastic band and longevity is there also... party up party on rock on Rolling Stones
Mick Taylor makes that guitar sing.
They were the best live rock 'n roll band in the world with MT.
So true...at their best with him......then next best with Brian before he got too bad....
MICK , KEITH AND RON: PLEASE BRING MICK TAYLOR AND BILL WYMAN BACK, P L E A S E ! ! ! ❤
They toured with Mick Taylor and bill ain't coming back
Even the dead ones?
Bill played at 2 shows in 2012 as well
Ronnie Wood took Taylor's place 😂 hello
The virtuose Mick Taylor by The Rolling Stones!
I love the Mick Taylor era!
The best era
😢не самая лучшая версия, при всём уважении
Agree, definitely my favourite era of the stones. I wish he'd stayed longer
He really added a lot. Keith is a great song writer but seriously barely plays. Taylor filled the holes. Ron Wood is great and really shined in the faces but it’s like they barely let him be heard. Mick Taylor in the Stones was the best era
I agree. That was and always will be the greatest Stones era.
The Stones with Mick Taylor was the best Stones for ever.👍👍😀😀
Ditto!
The stones need Mick Taylor back now !! The best guitarist they ever had,by far.
Do not think Taylor is interested, there is some bad blood and hard feelings between them
OMG! Not seen this before....
The sweetest licks ever gave the the boys some grit they never had again after he split!
Mick Taylor gave the Stones that Southern Rock feel. Like Blackberry Smoke 🌄🐴
All time greats Mick Taylor.
69-74 the Stones were a Powerhouse, I love Mick Taylor's insolent guitar playing to the benefit of The Rolling Stones.
VERY GOOD 2 MICK'S.
@@richardferrini9442 Ha!
Keith didn’t like the fact that a master guitarist stole his thunder,
@@alfching2499 Yep
Yes asaloutley.
Reminds me how good they were with Mick Taylor. And how, looking back, nearly 50 years later, they never ever recaptured that magic.
Can you recapture the magic of being in your twenties again?
@@TheRollingStony Yes! Totally! The Stones is a bigger bang ever on stage, ...the best of bests!!!😊 I'm back in time!

Mick Taylor could play notes that don't actually exist. That is how good he was at playing a guitar.
And he lost it all after the Stones...was never the same...so sad.
Now they have Ron Wood that pretends to know how to play a guitar
@@vincenzostr4488 I will have to disagree with your opinion. Ronnie Wood is pretty good. The Rolling Stones was not his first gig. He was in really good bands before that. He is not a guitar God, but he is good.
@@shawfrom2034he’s better then he was in the stones these days, because he’s playing what he likes.
@@tatethompson1234 I disagree. The Brian Jones era was the best one.
Mick Taylor...the only guy in that universe who can steal a stage to Mick Jagger without moving a foot
Don't forget that Keith was taking that 5 string Open G to insanity!

From the greatest rock and roll band to the greatest lounge band in 1 instant the moment Mick Taylor left the band........
Is it the reason why he is so underrated?
It’s been 50 years since he quit the Stones and hasn’t stolen a single stage since.
Jagger's a world class performer, while Taylor's a world class musician. Taylor's the only one of those the group ever had, and I don't dislike the Stones, it just is what it is.
Mick is so talented he even had jimi Hendrix in awe in 69 with his sftd solo
Nothing topped the studio version
É obra-prima incontest!
R.I.P. Charlie. You will never ever be forgotten! You were such a nice person and perfect drummer - the heart of the Stones.
Great Mick Taylor !!!
The Mick Taylor era was beginning and the end of the Stones immaculate music.
Brian era and RW era fabulous as well. MT the greatest lead guitarist of his era .
Bring Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman back please!
MickT with the Rolling Stones,...just unreal goodness.
Forget about Clapton and Page ..... this is the real thing ..
awesome ...
Mick Taylor ! Best time's for Stone's

The Stones at their very best. Taylor and Richards worked so well together.
seen them in 69 @MSG Kieth AND Mick Taylor just ripped through this. they were never better without MT.

Mick taylor leads telling stories👏👏👏❤️
Like a roller coaster ride!!!
This may be the greatest tune of all time. Dangerous rock and roll at its best. This song makes me think they sold their soul.
Mick Taylor....guitarhero 🎸
God's gift to the guitar
If They made him a full member, gave him writing credits, and probably would
...have stayed in the band?
great Taylor
Back when the Stones were the Stones.
No! They still are together and that means theyre still the Stones.

clafong9 They’re just a Stones cover band now.
Good mix. Aside from Mick's great lead Keith's outstanding rythm guitar performance shine's through
And Bill Wyman's bass.
Bravo Taylor !!!!!
The MT era was simply the best of the Stones. I'm a huge fan and love most all of it but this truly was them at their finest musically and especially live.
Jagger please move out the way, I want to see the gorgeous MICK TAYLOR!!!!!!!
Really. Check out Dead Flowers from the Marquee Club for an excellent view of he who cannot be surpassed on guitar...
He is gorgeous
Exactly my emotion.
Taylor was lame another wanna be he would never surpass Jones
Megalodon Morrison : Pretty sure he wasn’t trying to surpass anyone. He was just putting all his passion in the guitar to make the most beautiful music.
Awesome performance and what a amazing solo by Mick Taylor!
I think the only person happy that mick Taylor left was Ron wood
Ron Wood is good. Although Mick is better
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
Good point maybe so does anybody know the real story would love to hear it and as possible for a reunification one last time Mick Jagger and Mick Taylor, there talent was amazing. Does anybody out there know the true story
When Mick Taylor left in 74 after getting pimped out on songwriting credits, it had to be the greatest “oh shit!” moment in rock history!

What about beggars banquet ?
It's all a matter of opinion-Keith was the man who wrote so many memorable riffs.
Remember, it was KEITH who wrote and laid the groundwork for Mick Taylor to play over.
That was the greatest era; much heavier and darker
fantastic mix, so fresh. thanks, good job
