Yeah, it's been a while since I first saw/heard this and that solo is pretty insane, especially because he's _23 years old_ here (!). Also yes, hats off to RJ without which this song, not to mention much of the Stones sound/material wouldn't exist, not to mention countless other 60s and 70s rock bands.
It's no wonder the 'most replayed' part of this tune starts at 4:57. It's not just the technical brilliance, it's how it makes me FEEL. Not many guitarists pull that off.
@tommasomolinari5726 Both Brian and Mick are to be applauded. Where Brian dropped the ball, Mick T picked it up and ran with it. Taylor helped to successfully take the Stones to the next chapter.
The Stones were truly special. This will last forever. People will be watching this in a thousand years, catching a glimpse of this particular moment in space in time. Even now in 2023, I'm watching and thinking, "my god, this was good." Charlie, Stu and Bobby have passed, but Mick, Keith, Mick and Bill are still alive. I'm glad to be alive with them.
One of the most beautifully written songs by one Mr. Robert Johnson. Taken to the next level by The Rolling Stones. What a time machine the internet is.
What a fucking badass solo. Actually 2 solos- one with a slide, one without. Cry on, baby, cry on!!!! Thank you Mick T. Best guitarist The Stones ever had......
W eird aint it, the way we see things, I never thought Mick Taylor made the grade, I saw him play with the Stones on 2 occasions and both times I thought he was lacking, not in competence, just he wasn't in the band. When Ronnie Wood joined, they reached the pinnacle,
@@cunobelinusX31 Taylor didn't enjoy the lifestyle of being a Rolling Stone. Definitely the best guitarist for them, much better than Woodie! Ron Wood is a good guitarist though and fit in better!
Nope. Compare it to the solo on Get Yer Yayas Out. Taylor was burned out by this point. Too many gigs, too many late nights or no nights and too many chemicals had dulled him. His slide playing is nowhere near where it was just a few years previously. Such a shame, because the lad could play!
@@cunobelinusX31 "when ronnie joined they reached the pinnacle" ? That's just so wrong lmao. No other Stones Album except for maybe Some girls can compete with the album's Taylor played on.
5:15 Mick J. stops singing and immediately becomes the biggest Stones fan in the world. He appreciates Mick T.'s solo as much at that moment as we all do, decades later. Go, Micks!!
@@Methilde Mick T. left the band because he was still a young man and could no longer put up with the heavy drug use. Keith's heroin addiction certainly did not help. Keith, who by this time had befriended Gram Parsons in London, and along with Jagger, had talked Parsons into abandoning Roger McGuinn and the Byrds on a South Africa concert tour. Ostensibly, because of apartheid. Parsons, who by that time had an expensive daily heroin habit of his own, was a perfect friend for Keith. Parsons accompanied Richards and the Stones to Nelle Cote, their tax haven mansion on the French gold coast. There, they were recording "Exile on Main Street" in the mansions basement, along with saxophonist Bobby Keys and pianist Nicky Hopkins, among others. Keys had a habit himself. But Keith and Gram were up till all hours of the night playing the piano and guitars, singing and arguing about old Lefty Frizzell and George Jones tunes. Taylor had been drawn into the insane world of heroin and drugs and realized he had to leave to preserve what little was left of his sanity. So when the Stones left L.A. following post production work there on the Exile album, Mick T. left the band to get clean. When Parsons, a trust fund dilettante musical genius, returned to L.A., he formed the Flying Burrito Brothers, breakthrough " country-rock" band along with Chris Hillman who had played bass on the Byrds "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" album with Parsons, McGuinn and the Byrds. Jagger even graciously allowed Parsons to record "Wild Horses" first before the Stones did. These events have been confirmed in at least two different Parsons biographies(one written by Ben Fong Torres of Rolling Stone magazine fame). Taylor looked up to Jagger, Watts and Wyman for guidance and protection from the forces of evil. But, Jagger was too wrapped up in his own musical, marital, money and business problems to spare any time to help Taylor. The rest is history.
Montgomery Denzer Yes, he (Jimmy Page) played also a Gibson Les Paul. Sometimes,, Mick Taylor played a Gibson SG while Keith Richards played a Fender Telecaster.
That's right! He used to play a beautiful white Stratocaster. This fact inspired other great guitar players, like Ritchie Blackmore, to play with a white Strat, too.
The Stones at their FINEST thanks to Mick Taylor !!! Great song ! Great band (no kidding) In my humble opinion Mick Taylor puts them on another level !!! Your solo is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ! COSMIC rock/blues guitar playing !!!
It is funny becouse Keith Richards hated his playing. On the albums Keith would go back and redo almost all of Taylor's parts. It is part of the reason he quit the band. Ron Wood was famous when he joined and would take none of that shit.
The second Mick Taylor solo in this video has to be the best guitar solo in rock and roll history. Mick Taylor put such feeling into his solos, as well as unbelievable control of his instrument. He could make his guitar wail in agony.
It's like a guitar lesson. His tone is just like wtf. But it should be a lesson to all guitar players on how to play with taste, tone, feeling and enhance the song in a way that just elevates. Just imagine if he just shreds here, it'd sound appalling. It's just the taste here that astounds. It's buttery. Wow.
Mick Taylor's fingers on the neck are like little mini effects pedals. So much subtle stuff goes on in his playing like exaggerated note bloom and the way his notes bleed into each other and it's all in the touch. The blues dripped and oozed out of the mans fingers.
Most of Britain’s top guitar players played with such feeling, I mean Mick Taylor’s just a kid here. Early twenties. Smooth as fuck, technically effortless and full of feel. Just magic.
Blue Beard that’s because they learnt from the best of the best. Whatever it was about the blues that spoke to the hearts of a bunch of skinny little white boys in post war London, I’m not really sure, but the blues sure speak to people’s hearts. For whatever reason, white people outside of the USA were raised on black music, and have enormous respect for those artists..be it Duke Ellington, Thelonius Monk, Billie Holiday, Sara Vaughan, Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, just to name a tiny few.
Virginia viola For you to understand why white kids in London embraced the blues you have to understand post war Britain. The city was partially destroyed through bombing. Thousands of people killed. Many kids lost there fathers, and there was rationing. Even bread was rationed. The youth had nothing but bomb sites and music. Keith Richards has talked about this. Post war Britain was tough especially if you were working class.
Blue Beard yeah, I do understand. I think it’s more the old blues guys who had trouble understanding lol. Syd Barrett and Roger Waters both lost their Dads, it was what had bonded them, and Roger’s fury was all poured into his music. The evolution of the blues in British music in the ‘60’s is really interesting tho. You had the purists, like John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, who spawned Pete Green and Fleetwood Mac, then the Stones who created something entirely their own, The Yardbirds, Creme, but then alongside that prog rock was evolving, Floyd, Genesis, early Queen, Bowie then around the arrival of Mick Taylor, the Stones seem to have been more influenced by what was coming out of America, the Flying Burrito Bros, Gram Parsons, they kind of went country rock r’n’b..all I can say is that those of us who were around in the ‘60’s, ‘70’s and even the ‘80’s British music were quite simply spoilt for choice..it was a smorgasbord of brilliant music. And The Beatles of course. It’s funny how it works, there just seem to be moments in history where an amazing generation of people are born and do incredible things, whether it’s science, art, music, literature, medicine, like there’s some sort of giant lighthouse out there, and every so often it’s beam sweeps the planet with genius.
Mick Taylor's work on all the RS music during his tenure with the band was superb! The Stones were lucky to have him. About 25 years ago, my brother and I were in a bar in downtown Minneapolis and Mick Taylor was playing with a band (I don't recall the name). During a break, he came to our table and just started talking to us. It was really a great surprise and I'll never forget it. He was just a down to earth individual and totally relaxed. May he have many more healthy years in his life.
Mick Taylor here is stunningly beautiful, what a guitar solo! Also Mick's outfits in this era, the 1972 tour, is something else, one of his best aesthetic moments.
Mick Taylor's second solo on here is my second favorite guitar solo, ever. Also, his first slide solo was fantastic. In standard tuning, it doesn't get much better than that.
@@billsmith9966 by The Stones? I'm a musician/music teacher/20th century music historian. I am trying to get a Stones cover band. There were a few in my area. (Philly) I haven't heard from them in years, one went on the national circuit. They charge atleast $2500-$3000 per gig. I want to play deep Tracks like Sway, Loving Cup, Star Star, and Mr. D, C0ck Sucker Blues and some earlier stuff like 2000 man. I have the open G tuning down.
I saw the 72 concert at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney was only 14 & I've still never seen anything like it. I was thrown from the top of the barbed wire way back into the crowd but I was just getting the best view possible. Never occurred to me to stage jump lol They still had 1 foot in the 60's at this time as the 70's were just starting & this was early 72. I had 1 joint with me lol
Sitting here late at night, in my living room, running a high fever, listening to this amazing, smouldering, blistering track, and I couldn't feel more at peace. Thanks guys, for always sticking up for me when I need you. It's good to be here; it's good to be anywhere.
I am 77 years old. Been a blues fan since the mid 60’s.I had let it bleed on vinyl when new.I am obsessed hearing this for first today.Fucking Mick Taylor omg
I just never get tired of this one. Mick Taylor's tone and his touch on that Les Paul is just achingly beautiful. I have never heard a sweeter Les Paul tone.
As my name implies I have the Stones in my blood. I've heard this song a million times and I never tire of it. This version of 1972 is incredible. What great guitars!
remember, he had more live playing experience at 20 than they did in their late twenties and in the most famous band (the beatles were done)... and REAL concerts, not girls screaming in 1966 but people expecting Eric Clapton and Peter Green with Mayall... replacing Brian Jones was nothing compared to those guys
You mean you to say you like this better than the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Bad Bunny!?!? Sacrilege...Geez (Roll Eyes). Mick Taylor's guitar solos --- and The Stones --- will still be the standard bearers 50 years from now, and 50 years from then, and even longer after the aforementioned 3 upchucks and their so-called music have long since gone the way of the dinosaur.
@@whisky2roxy You got me --- All I know for certain is that I wouldn't let my ears, sensibilities, or taste in music touch his rapper horriblations with 10-foot eardums --- let alone any drums Charlie Watts ever used.
Blues und Gitarre pur von Mick Taylor gespielt, der beste Sologitarrist der Stones ever!! Phänomenal! natürlich Mick's einzigartige Stimme!. Großartig!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
When I got home from the concert in Tuscaloosa, Al in 1972 after seeing 18 year old Mick Taylor play this blues masterpiece on his Gibson Les Paul, I didn't even touch my guitar for about 3 months. I had already seen a prodigy play and I couldn't come close.
This version is my favourite just because of the emotion in the way he sings that part at 4:44: "The blue light was my blues, And the red light was my mind"
He was always my favorite guitar player in that era, soulful, technically brilliant and such sweet tones. His solos on Get Yer YAS YAS Out was the best guitar solo ever , on Sympathy .
OMG, Mick Taylor playing the blues!,.just pure genius!!!...cry on baby, cry on. Such a shame, the train left the station and Mick Taylor didn't go with it. Just imagine the music The Stones could have had all these years if Mick Taylor stayed with them!!!
mick taylor would have been around 23/24 at the time of this concert, unthinkable to have this sort of feel and talent at such a young age, without doubt the best guitar player the stones ever had.
One of the finest performances I have ever seen....Stones were and still are amazing. Mick Taylor , the greatest, least appreciated guitarist of this era.
they aren't so amazing as far as the music, sorry... Jagger is amazing running around the stage at 80 years old, and Keith and Ronnie are amazing to be alive... but the skills of the band have been long gone... their last tour as an actual band was 1982...
@@cultfilmfreakreviews I’ve seen over 100 shows since 1975 ( sadly missed the Mick Taylor years, but saw him on the 50th anniversary tour)and of course they are not as “amazing “ as they were in their prime . Nonetheless , they always put on a great show and people still love to see them. Losing Charlie was devastating and I had apprehension about going , but it was still a great time . Embrace them for who they are now, not what they were 50 years ago .
Just brilliant. All exceptional, even Charlie gives the song a lot of edges in this version. Taylor makes another stand-out performance and Keef absolutely nails the intro and early verses. Jagger kept banging out top performances in the 70s. What a band.
He still kicks it in the ass when he hit the stage in Europe 60 yrs tour. U did the best Job. Please take some time off & come to the States when u can. 👅👅👅💨💨💨💨
Damm that's some great guitar work Mick Taylor can play the slide and those solos like nobody else could why doesn't this man get his real dues he one of the best and nobody gets his sound
Taylor plays one of the greatest solos i've ever seen in this version of the song. Keith will always be king of the riffs, but Mick Taylor was on another level. Ronnie's great, the work he did with The Faces is phenomenal. He's definitely a top player, but as far as the Stones go he'll never do what Mick Taylor did with the Stones. To me they were in their prime when they had him 69-74.
I agree with you, but it was also the year Mick and Keith topped as songwriters!!! A bit like the Eagles. After Don Felder was fired, something is missing, a great lead player, though the have Joe Walsh and Steuart Smith!!!
You might be right there... and paradoxically, it arose out of the trauma and deprivation resulting from one of the worst things - the mass enslavement of human beings, imported into the country on an industrial scale for the benefit of the few. Beauty out of ugliness, the lotus flower growing from muddy waters.
OMG- the camera-person was terrific. Kept us aimed to Mick's fingers the entire time. The guy is a guitar GOD. This is the best guitar solo footage of all time, Kudos to Mick and the Photographer!
Neither do I. That's undoubtedly their best live version of love in vain on World. Well, but that's no wonder, cause this was in 1972 when the stones had mick taylor with them and this was just their best time(apart from maybe the one with Brian Jones).
@@centoeberhardt1663 maybe but the Stones were able to move on & make a name for themselves need less to say for the 🌎. Love u guys more that u know. 👅👅👅👅💨💨💨💨
Everyone’s taking about Mick here. Such a beautiful emotional and powerful guitar solo by him. Bill plays such a simple and fantastic baseline. And of course, Jagger’s vocals. Makes it look so easy. What a singer. Wow
@killwill83 I disagree He is a unique vocalist, his phrasing and feel for a song is incredible Only problem is he tended to bark out lyrics live in the 70’s He is a unique vocalist his vocals for Angie are spine tingling No one else can do that like him He’s not a conventional singer, they are a dime a dozen, he’s Mick Jagger and he’s one of a kind and brilliant
This period in their history, the greatest rock n roll band that ever walked the earth.

I am 77 years old. Been a blues fan since the mid 60’s.I had let it bleed on vinyl when new.I am obsessed hearing this for first today.Fucking Mick Taylor omg
Bravo to the camera man on Mick Taylor👍🏻
Ccr
Outstanding!
Yes. Pretty rare at the time, a testament to MTs brilliance.
Wow, just wow. Mic’s soloing here is some of the best work in history.
This is in a meditation music list. for when I need a mood exorcised-works any negativity away by the end of Mick‘s upward lifting solo🕊❤️
I first saw Mick Taylor playing with John Mayall in 1968. The other members of the band left the stage, and he soloed for about ten minutes. Magical!
Live the rolling Stones forever
The Best song in blues!
Mick FANTASTIC!
I just never get tired of this one. Mick Taylor's tone and his touch on that Les Paul is just achingly beautiful. I have never heard a sweeter Les Paul tone.
BadgerVito Second only to Duane
The only other Les Paul tone that comes close is Mark Knopfler performing Brothers in Arms on the Monseratt DVD!
Luther Dickinson...Black Crowes, Ain't got nothing at all, Artists den....
Don felder has a sweet tone on one of these nights that I just can never find. Probably because it's a 59 and mines a traditional from 2007 😂😂😂
As my name implies I have the Stones in my blood. I've heard this song a million times and I never tire of it. This version of 1972 is incredible. What great guitars!
Yes it is it's power can't ever fade!
Mick Taylor is amazing on this song. One of the best of the British Blues style guitarist. The Glimmer Twins owe this man tremendously !
it was the best era, because of him.
Brian Jones is the one who made the stones. Once the twins learned about writing a song and learning music they didng need him anymore.
remember, he had more live playing experience at 20 than they did in their late twenties and in the most famous band (the beatles were done)... and REAL concerts, not girls screaming in 1966 but people expecting Eric Clapton and Peter Green with Mayall... replacing Brian Jones was nothing compared to those guys
@@cultfilmfreakreviews First because of the quality of the songs, excepted this one great cover.
A great display of Mick Taylor's slide playing in 'regular' tuning (ordinary). And that second solo is a monster!
This is the best song ever... and it was all Mick... stole the show man. I've never felt more emotion in any guitar player.. ever!
50 years ago, and it still kicks ass.
Always will
You mean you to say you like this better than the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Bad Bunny!?!? Sacrilege...Geez (Roll Eyes). Mick Taylor's guitar solos --- and The Stones --- will still be the standard bearers 50 years from now, and 50 years from then, and even longer after the aforementioned 3 upchucks and their so-called music have long since gone the way of the dinosaur.
@@clarkleach6733 "Bad Bunny"? I wonder if he's related to Bigg Bunny from that Kate Hudson comedy.
@@whisky2roxy You got me --- All I know for certain is that I wouldn't let my ears, sensibilities, or taste in music touch his rapper horriblations with 10-foot eardums --- let alone any drums Charlie Watts ever used.
Yes, definitely the best band on the planet 💙💙💙💙
Blues und Gitarre pur von Mick Taylor gespielt, der beste Sologitarrist der Stones ever!! Phänomenal! natürlich Mick's einzigartige Stimme!. Großartig!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The Rolling Stones are beyond description. Some seriously talented musicians! 😍
When I got home from the concert in Tuscaloosa, Al in 1972 after seeing 18 year old Mick Taylor play this blues masterpiece on his Gibson Les Paul, I didn't even touch my guitar for about 3 months. I had already seen a prodigy play and I couldn't come close.
Mick was 23 in 1972..
Listen to Nicky Hopkins' piano in the background. That 1972 band with Taylor and Hopkins was the best they ever were. RIP Nicky, Charlie, Bobby.
what a smooth master just stands and plays no bs no showmanship just soul in his fingers
This version is my favourite just because of the emotion in the way he sings that part at 4:44:
"The blue light was my blues,
And the red light was my mind"
He was always my favorite guitar player in that era, soulful, technically brilliant and such sweet tones. His solos on Get Yer YAS YAS Out was the best guitar solo ever , on Sympathy .
ROBERT JOHNSON ♡ the industrial gangsters and their hypnotized lackeys did not subdue the Blues
OMG, Mick Taylor playing the blues!,.just pure genius!!!...cry on baby, cry on. Such a shame, the train left the station and Mick Taylor didn't go with it. Just imagine the music The Stones could have had all these years if Mick Taylor stayed with them!!!
mick taylor would have been around 23/24 at the time of this concert, unthinkable to have this sort of feel and talent at such a young age, without doubt the best guitar player the stones ever had.
Love in vain hermosa balada tocada por la mejor banda del mundo ,los Stones son eternos
One of the finest performances I have ever seen....Stones were and still are amazing. Mick Taylor , the greatest, least appreciated guitarist of this era.
original by Robert Johnson ;)
@@j.miguel6193 Yes.. Thankfully the Stones loved the old bluesman and shed light to millions of their fans the roots of their inspiration.
Got that right
they aren't so amazing as far as the music, sorry... Jagger is amazing running around the stage at 80 years old, and Keith and Ronnie are amazing to be alive... but the skills of the band have been long gone... their last tour as an actual band was 1982...
@@cultfilmfreakreviews I’ve seen over 100 shows since 1975 ( sadly missed the Mick Taylor years, but saw him on the 50th anniversary tour)and of course they are not as “amazing “ as they were in their prime . Nonetheless , they always put on a great show and people still love to see them. Losing Charlie was devastating and I had apprehension about going , but it was still a great time . Embrace them for who they are now, not what they were 50 years ago .
Best guitar ever... Mick Taylor was a boss! Arguably the best ever, atleast in my ear without doubts!
thank you mike for give us all the best of the stones greatest hits
Just brilliant. All exceptional, even Charlie gives the song a lot of edges in this version. Taylor makes another stand-out performance and Keef absolutely nails the intro and early verses. Jagger kept banging out top performances in the 70s. What a band.
He still kicks it in the ass when he hit the stage in Europe 60 yrs tour. U did the best Job. Please take some time off & come to the States when u can. 👅👅👅💨💨💨💨
The greatest rock n roll band ever! Wow is all I can say!
This is my favourite performance ever, can't stop coming back to it
Stones at their finest moment.
Holy shit!..Mick T wrung every last drop of blood out of that Gibson. What a fabulous guitar and guitarist.
Young people who don't realize how great the Stones were should listen to this.
that's because The Stones haven't been this good for a long time
Damm that's some great guitar work Mick Taylor can play the slide and those solos like nobody else could why doesn't this man get his real dues he one of the best and nobody gets his sound
Great guitar solo the Best era of the stones .🎸
On of the finest performance's ever.
Happy birthday Mick!!
Stones for ever
Mick Taylor owns this 💙
Taylor plays one of the greatest solos i've ever seen in this version of the song. Keith will always be king of the riffs, but Mick Taylor was on another level. Ronnie's great, the work he did with The Faces is phenomenal. He's definitely a top player, but as far as the Stones go he'll never do what Mick Taylor did with the Stones. To me they were in their prime when they had him 69-74.
Brian Jones was pretty damn good too
I totally agree - I saw them in California in 1969 and again in 1972 and to this day I remain blown away by how great those concerts were !
I agree with you, but it was also the year Mick and Keith topped as songwriters!!! A bit like the Eagles. After Don Felder was fired, something is missing, a great lead player, though the have Joe Walsh and Steuart Smith!!!
Fucking hell! Ronnie is one of the best guitar players ever! That guy is the shit! And he seams more a rolling stone than Mick Taylor
The Mick Taylor, Bobby Keys years were the best of the Stones hands down
The Blues... the best thing the American continent gave the world
You might be right there... and paradoxically, it arose out of the trauma and deprivation resulting from one of the worst things - the mass enslavement of human beings, imported into the country on an industrial scale for the benefit of the few.
Beauty out of ugliness, the lotus flower growing from muddy waters.
Damn he made ❤ to that electric guitar 🎸
OMG- the camera-person was terrific. Kept us aimed to Mick's fingers the entire time.
The guy is a guitar GOD. This is the best guitar solo footage of all time, Kudos to Mick and the Photographer!
For sure! Jagger is the second best Mick and Keith is the second most soulful guitarist in the Stones whenever Taylor is there.
This version is so amazing, I can't stop listening this song
Yeah it does grow on ya
Neither do I. That's undoubtedly their best live version of love in vain on World. Well, but that's no wonder, cause this was in 1972 when the stones had mick taylor with them and this was just their best time(apart from maybe the one with Brian Jones).
Heh, loike, sonly Rock n Roll, loike, y'know...
@@centoeberhardt1663 maybe but the Stones were able to move on & make a name for themselves need less to say for the 🌎. Love u guys more that u know. 👅👅👅👅💨💨💨💨
Už to poslouchám po 5té..nemohu se nabažit... . ❤🇨🇿
One of the best guitar solos ever.
Mick’s slide solo is great, but the second one is beyond belief-a tribute befitting Robert Johnson, if there ever was one.
Yes, Indeed, Mr. Jonhson would be proud of he legacy he left for others!
The greatest blues rock performance of the 20th Century.
MasterPiece
This song always brings a tear to my eye. But wow... Mick Taylor is amazing on this!
Man, I still listen to that Mick Taylor solo whenever I get a chance. Awesome, awesome
Which solo ….? Taylor rips two of the best in one song !
@@johnluhm5598 Love in Vain
Stones at that time were the truly greatest show on Earth. The most extraordinary spectacle.
1:35 Hot damn! The way Charlie comes in so smooth n subtle.
When real genius walked among us ...
Good grief, there's nothing more noble than playing the guitar like Taylor in this song!
Everyone’s taking about Mick here. Such a beautiful emotional and powerful guitar solo by him. Bill plays such a simple and fantastic baseline. And of course, Jagger’s vocals. Makes it look so easy. What a singer. Wow
@killwill83 I disagree
He is a unique vocalist, his phrasing and feel for a song is incredible
Only problem is he tended to bark out lyrics live in the 70’s
He is a unique vocalist his vocals for Angie are spine tingling No one else can do that like him
He’s not a conventional singer, they are a dime a dozen, he’s Mick Jagger and he’s one of a kind and brilliant
how can we NOT talk about Mick Taylor.
Charlie.
Every time I see this, I remember that it's good to be alive. Holy shit; the grace and the glory! 🎸MT
Let's all take a moment to appreciate the cameraman for filming Mick's solo.
hahaha
Yeah i bet Keith was pissed
taylors excellent pitch perfect slide work
Sad that so many Stones video focus almost solely on Mick Jagger.
Which Mick, btw?
The Stones you either Love them Or Like Them... Cant beat them either way
