Gimme Shelter Best Version Ever Youtube
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- The best version ever of Gimme Shelter on CZcams is Live at the Spectrum, Philadelphia in 1972 . With all due respect to the Lisa Fischer years, a lot of the versions on CZcams are in the Rolling Stones' later years and a bit too showbiz for my tastes. They don't capture the classic period of the band at the height of their powers.
Inspired by a recent comment on one of my other videos, I decided to re-cut this audio-wise and put a montage unlike any I've put together before. As the viewer who left the comment put it "...probably the greatest live version of GS ever. Taylor was on fire!🎇💥🤯" I hope you like it.(earbud friendly)

"best version" That is the truth. Since 1969 my favorit song of the 'Stones. (but don`t ignore Perth 1973, Brüssel , Bremen 98) ;-)
Aye, Brussels is my no. 2, with London 73 a close 3rd. I'll check out Bremen. Stones usually play hot in Germany 😁
Bremen from what year, '73? What if all these brilliant live versions could be remastered with today's technology ( same as LA Friday, vast improvement on that one). In the early 70's the Stones were young/ were on fire/and had the great Mick Taylor on board, also these songs were relatively new like fresh out of the oven and not suffering from being overplayed like today, my biggest Stones regret was not seeing them on the 9th Sept '73 I had just arrived in London with no lodgings and very little money two days previous had to wait till '76 ( 3 nights in a row Earl's Court and then Knebworth but alas Mick Taylor was gone😳, met him in his dressing room after his Dublin gig 2001 and got all his bands autographs🎸🕺👍
+Don Hanlon cool
And 1969 Altamont.
@@eparg8059 Good call. That is a hugely underrated one. I heard it on a half decent bootleg and thought "Wow!"
True stones fans will agree that taylor took the stones to another level and reach their zenith.He never got the credit he truly deserved.
Absolutely right my friend.
After he left the Stones they needed a Mary Clayton type to replace the unbelievable Taylor guitar work on Gimme Shelter.
Oh yes he did! We're getting old now but many millions of us would remember those immortal albums
Do you mean Merry Clayton the vocalist?
@@williamwalton583 Marry Clayton added a phenomenal contribution to the studio track. Unfortunately she didn't get her credit either
Those Mick Taylor years were at a whole different level.
Couldn't agree more. Thank you for your comment.
@@ROLLOGUITAR "Time Waits For No One". This was Taylor at his finest.Two hundred years from now musicians will still study his music.
@@keithcassidy6461 Cream rises to the top.
Absolutely
They were but don’t forget that Taylor’s time with the Stones coincided with a time when Mick and Keith were at the height of their writing powers
The discernible difference when Mick Taylor is playing with the Stones is unbelievable
Yes, they were a much more polished act all around.
But they played this version a bit to fast. The tempo on the album is way more enjoyable to listen to.
And that is why Keith Richards couldn't stand him. Love Keith, but that's the truth.
@@raincitygrill you my friend are SPOT ON. Cheers.
Yes it’s true. You can hear Keith’s rhythm really going for it. Spot on👍✨
Mick Taylor at his finest. Absolutely incredible guitar player.
Why could'nt Mick Taylor join the Stones after 50 years again and complete Mick, Keith and Ronnie on their probably last tours?
Mick Taylor, hands down the best guitarist the Stones ever had.
…andCharlie Watts was the best drummer !
Yeah…..and KR was just playing make believe guitar….LOL
@@Slo-ryde oh. Really? I hadn’t noticed that.
Mick is better in terms of pure technique, but Keith has created a library of hot riffs like nobody else. I give the best Stones guitars crown to Keith.
Made that comment almost 35 years ago...♎
The Rolling Stones were at their best, without a doubt, with Mick Taylor in the band.
I agree with you 100%
@@Robertodette Well, perhaps from a purely technical point of view but more exciting with Jones, especially live.
And MT was at his best with the Stones, no doubt
With Taylor they had someone that could actually hold a solo
I remember thinking back in the day, "This guy is too good for this band."
Mick Taylor is the best guitarist the Stones ever had. Just blistering guitar work here.
As you say 👍
Totally agree... on both counts. 🎉
ABSOLUTELY no question. He was awesome
Do people forget Brian Jones ?
Time waits for no one. Winter. Enough said!
Mick Taylor: The only man who set the stage on fire without moving a foot
It’s no coincidence that they recorded their greatest records when Taylor was in the band, but Keith was the riff master, and maybe the greatest rhythm guitarist ever.
You ain't wrong about that
And , one helluva songwriter !!!
Clapton has said Keith s the best rhythm guitar player
Yep, much as anything, to me - the song writers were in the groove.
I think Keith Richards and Mick Taylor together were the best rock guitar team of all time. Better than Clapton or Paige by themselves. There is a genius to Richards that cannot be denied. His ability to come up with signature riffs for every song they recorded is amazing, but Mick Taylor on lead guitar gave the band the technical chops to rival Led Zeppelin on anyone else on the rock scene at that time. The Stones were "the greatest rock and roll band in the world" during those years.
Mick Taylor lifted the Stones to a whole new level… he is on fire here, absolutely superb playing!
Yeah Mick Taylor is like a mad dog lol On Fire yes :)
Who is doing the solo?
Sadly got a clown as a replacement. Put me right off the Stones when a sub standard loon was introduced as the new guitarist. Ron Wood. No thanks,but the years from the beginning with Brian to M. T's end were the absolute bollocks for me.
@@Acujeremy That's Mick F***ng Taylor - the young guy. He quit the band in 74 and they replaced him with Ron Wood, who is a great guitarist but never in the same league as Mick.
Yep, and pissing off Mr. Richards the entire way ...
Mick Taylor's virtuosity in this performance leaves one speechless . Its staggering , breathtaking amazing
Yet you aren't speechless
I was at this show in 72. Taylor’s playing was absolutely stunning.
I was a few months old so I wasn't able to make it that night. Mick was on fire though, should've went instead of taking that 27th nap.
Jeez yer old!
Very Cool!!
There were three shows at the Spectrum. One on 7/20 and two shows the next day.
@@keensoundguy6637 Yes, I was at the afternoon show.
Mick Taylor was too humble. He didn't think he was as good as he was.
'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' was and is mind blowing.
Can't You Hear Me Knocking is absolutely transcendent when Taylor does his solo. Most people simply missed it.....
Not to mention "Sway" and many others!!
His high ability with guitar was defenitely umbearable for Richards
Mick Taylor was the best thing to ever happen to the Stones. Produced there best music
Yes yes yes so true
true... he was needed at a time when the Claptons and the Jimis were what was needed to make a band great, and The Stones, in calling themselves the Greatest, simply HAD TO BE and coulnd't yet rest on their laurels... Mick Taylor was their laurels as far as live playing goes...
... their* best music.
Agreed but he knew the lifestyle could kill him. Like Keith said in an interview one time, "I got my own special "diet" but I wouldn't recommend it" Yeah, I bet! Hahahahahaha!
That’s a little much
Might have been the night I was there in 1972 in Philly. Highlight of my young life. Mick Taylor killed it!
Best ever Stones line up - Mick Taylor had soul
I've been a die-hard Stones fan for over 50 years and I honestly don't think I've ever heard this version of arguably the greatest rock n roll song ever. It doesn't just rock, it soars! Mick Taylor does with his guitar what Merry Clayton did with her voice - he lifts a great song into unrivaled and rarefied air. And this whole magnificent band is absolutely on fire. Damn!
That he does in my opinion 🙏
Great reply! I thought Merry Clayton was BOSS!😊😊
@@ROLLOGUITARMT had great style as did the others as well!🎸🎸☮️☮️
@@tiffanyroseangeles34 Agreed. Merry is a unique talent.
How do you know it's Mick Taylor and not Keith?
It's incredible how this man was able of accompanying Jagger's voice soloing and without taking away from it, in such a melodic way. He is the quintessential lead guitarist of the late 60's and early 70's. I miss you little Mick.
he's melodic but he also is really hard and punchy... he was just, everything
Deferring to Jagger at just the right places..perfect
He, Wyman and Jagger were all virtuosos and somehow all three of them could cut loose at the same time without showing the others up. Maybe a big part was that Charlie and Keef played it straight and were an amazingly solid rhythm section, but still…
He's not so little these days
@@markschlesinger Time waits for no one, my friend!!
Take it from this 78 year old, this version rocks.
Je te crois 🕯🕉🕯🙏🙏🙏
I was There. The Demand for tickets was so great they added an extra show while we were waiting in line for tickets. Otherwise we would not been able to go. On Friday July 21st 1972 The Stones actually played two shows in Philly. Our show was in the afternoon. Stevie Wonder was the opening act and for me, it was the greatest show I ever seen. It will be etched in my mind forever !
Cool. Thanks for sharing that.
Damm 💪
You are so lucky!
I think we paid eight dollars for the Boston shows in 1972!!
Thanks Roll ! I saw them two other times. In 75 and 94 but for me the 72 show was the best.
My goodness, Mick Taylor just screams here. One of the best songs ever written by the greatest rock n roll band.
along with Brown Sugar...
his job was to take the songs written just-before he joined, like Gimme and JJF, and to make them fit the guitar-god era to where they were more than The Stones playing their greatest hits live... Taylor turned what would later just be encores being rushed into songs that had their own lives from the original studio tracks
They gave Taylor complete freedom and their reward was the best era of Stones music - both studio and live - IMO
A freedom it seems he didn't get again until he worked with Carla Olson. They produced some really great stuff together. The early 90s versions of Winter and especially Sway are breathtaking. I can imagine Keith feeling peed off hearing those versions and thinking what the hell is he doing not being in our band?
Stones moved into the glam scene of the mid 70’s…. And had no need for Taylor after that.
@@Slo-ryde I never thought of that !!
I heard after a few years of it he became susceptible to the drugs and debauched lifestyle and had to get away from it to save his life.
@@Slo-ryde True
I totally agreed
This version is incredible
I thought that they were going to burn the house down with this
Alright baby
Come on
This was when they sounded like a serious and exciting rock band - when Mick Taylor added that layer of brilliance.
I believe that from 1969-1974, when Mick Taylor was there, the Stones were untouchable, at the pinnacle of creative snd technical power... not one band in the world could even come close....my era...yea... I'm old.
This was their best era by far, and I agree they were better than most bands at that time, but I can name 10 from the same era I like as well or better.
No arguments. its all cool 😄
Skynyrd did
Well except for zeppelin
Skynyrd ruled that era
Mick Taylor's guitar playing is out of this galaxy!
You found a new superlative for what we’ve all been trying to say!
Only Jimi played out of this galaxy
4448 ~~Especially keith too jealous
Mick Taylor was the best thing that ever happened to the Stones.
Like I always say. Best stones. The Mick Taylor years. No question
Mick Taylor brought the Stones to highs that even them couldn't ever imagined his solos were devastating is an amazing way!
Devastatingly AWESOME
Agreed! “THEM” were great in this era…😂
And when he left, Mick and Kief went after Rory Gallagher to replace him, little known fact.
@@MichaelandCathy1999 Indeed The Stones tried to recruit Rory but He had other plans to go solo after Taste disbanded, and what a formidable guitar player Rory was!
@@MichaelandCathy1999I love Rory!! ♥️
I’ve listened to other live recordings of this song with mick taylor on lead, but on this one he’s ablaze, he’s exploding - the energy level is incredible.
true... and this poster helped by turning up Mick... this one's great too, much better than the other Brussels show that the Stones actually put out: bootlegs are usually better than the real thing which they simply overproduce: czcams.com/video/aBaI2cRpZa4/video.html
I was there. The story goes he was pissed about having to play an extra afternoon show...maybe that explains his attack. One for the ages
Mick Taylor's guitar was like another singer in the band. It had a voice of it's own. Lifted the whole band. Even Keith called him a virtuoso.
They certainly weren’t friends - Richards and Taylor. Keith openly ribbed and clowned on Mick Taylor. But Keith gave him his props. Called him a “beautiful player”. And he was. Taylor was among the best, hands down.
No he didn't. where you hear that? Richard's was so jealous of him he told Mick to get him out.
@@keithhinchcliffe5629 Richards said it in one of the documentaries on the Rolling Stones.
@@keithhinchcliffe5629 Jagger and Richards were actually pissed that Taylor told them he was leaving. Taylor fell into a heroin addiction thru Jagger and Richards and Mick Taylor's wife gave him an ultimatum, either heroin or me, so he gave up heroin and the Stones. Watch any documentary on the band and you'll see.
Been a rock fan & fan of Stones since '74, never payed much attention to MT's history with the Stones but i read some comments praising this guy, so i had to finally check him out. Impressive. As a HUGE Hendrix fan whom i think is the Greatest of them all, i'm really digging his playing. Consider me a
fan now.
From 1969-74 The Stones & Led Zeppelin were the greatest bands on the planet. Nobody could touch them live.
Les WHO étaient aussi très bons sur scène.
Mick Taylor, c'était le top !
Finally someone mentioned Led ZEPPELIN. I can't get enough of both bands. It's hard for me to believe that I've been listening to this amazing music for nearly 60 years. I'm one year older and Mick Jager
@@MrJeepstersoh yes The Who 👍
If I had a time machine, the first thing I'd do is go to both bands' 1972 tours in as many stops as possible. Unbeatable performances by both of them that year especially.
@@MrJeepsters took the words right out of my mouth. Who’s Next period and the others did not equal that album.
The Mick Taylor influence - superlative! Charlie Watts, so relaxed, his cadences right on it.
When the tide comes in, all boats rise. Taylor was the high tide.
Beautifully put
Wow man thats very nicely said,unmistakable.
Beautifully said. 🌊
Mick Taylor, a beast!!!!
Completely agree with you, ROLLOGUITAR. This version shows the rough power of their early 70's music. It's so genuine, exuberant, rich of raw sounds. And, oh... Mick Taylor's guitar just adds a bonus here! Thank you for posting.
My pleasure.
This is SO great! The Stones with Mick T. were the best rock band in the world 🌎 at that time. Taylor's phrasing is almost poetic.👍😃
It’s amazing how with mick Taylor this was a guitar oriented song. With him gone and Lisa Fischer later in their career, it became a vocal oriented song. I am glad I came across this version.
The two Micks both soar on this version. Taylor was absolutely on fire and Jagger sang this like he really felt it and wasn't performing it. What a moment in time for this band!
I grew up in the MICK TAYLOR Era. The best greatest Stones.
Rory Gallagher was asked to join the Stones and went to London to rehearse with them for a few sessions. He decided that he preferred being a solo artist and I think that was the right decision. Mick Taylor was a better fit, and this recording confirms it (along with many others). Rory Gallagher continued his own career on his own terms and I also had the opportunity to see him at a very small club in Philadelphia in the late 70s. He, like the Stones, was unforgettable.
The Stones came with a health warning. "Elegantly wasted" - Nick Kent
You were sooo lucky!!
Huge Rory Gallagher fan after discovering him 3 yrs ago, very late to his party unfortunately,,,he so loved his fans and they in kind. The Irish Wizard 🎸☘️❤️…
@@KittyGrizGriz Hope you check out all his Taste albums, live & studio. Saw their last tour, Limerick 1970.
Mick Taylor, Mick Taylor, Mick Taylor. The fluency....
Totally 👍👍👍
Fluency, melodicism, tone and emotion. He really had it all as a blues rock player. And he freed Keith up to do what he did best - massive, in the pocket riffs and rhythm playing. Mick Taylor added a lot of energy and chemistry to the band. Ronnie Wood, who’s a fine player and a great character, was oddly perfect for the modern, post disco stones. Laid back and funky, but the Stones transformed from sharp and volatile to their brand of louche, sloppy, fun. But I think a lot less hard hitting than that Taylor era. I just can’t see the 80s Stones killing the songs on Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers the way Taylor Stones did.
Capolavoro di Taylor 💥💙 grazie per la vidéo 👍
In 1972, the Stones hit their stride. If Charlie and Bill were into this song, you know they were having a hot night!
Wow! I've never heard Gimme Shelter this good live. Let's be honest about it: Mick Taylor took the Stones musically to a place they never reached before or since.
Just utterly fabulous!
Ronnie Wood certainly isn't bad, but the Mick T. era Rolling Stones were a juggernaut. Their best albums were with Taylor, imo.
Agreed
In recent years the Rolling Stones' performance of Gimme Shelter would benefit if they could pick up the tempo by about 50%, like this '72 performance. But then when you look at Keith Richards' arthritic fingers, it's a wonder that he can still play at all.
Mck Taylor is the man! Best guitarist the Stones ever had and their best years with him…
MT may not get the proper recognition from the Rolling Stones but 50 years on, fans never forget about him and undoubtedly they think he was the best lead guitarist the band has ever had.
I'll tell you, CZcams has really made Taylor fans... they listen to this stuff and, used to the Stones as a fun band that played live since they weren't in the studio, they realize that at one time The Stones were as perfect live as in the studio... and it only happend when Taylor was on board...
@@cultfilmfreakreviews ABSOLUTELY !! He's fabulous...
Mick Taylor was so brilliant. Truly remarkable. A great live version of my favorite Stones’ song. ❤❤
One of the greatest Mick Taylor performances...EVER!
Jagger and Richards are icons. Tailor is a Genius!!!
The Rolling Stones were never the same without Mick Taylor.
There is no better Stones lineup than the years with Taylor, he was a maestro with 6 strings.
Mick Taylor took the Stones to another level, unfortunately none of that is left today....
Mick was great for the time he was in the band.
I was there in Philly in the 13th row. Never heard a better rock show since. People were standing on their seats in the nose bleeds dancing. The system consisted of two huge speaker columns at each end of the stage that were very loud but did not hurt your years bc there was no distortion. The music was awesome as you could hear each guitar and the boys played flawlessly!!!
Thanks for info on the sound system set up.
Wow, you are a lucky boy!! 🎉
yes I was there as well. about 30 rows back from you. We went to the afternoon show because we could get better tickets. Little did we know....One of the greatest performances I ever saw
Bet you saw Jimi as well lol , I’m jealous is all 😊
Mick Taylor as fantastic in this video. Best guitarist ever.
Although I miss the female singing on this classic, Mick Taylor's solo throughout is mind blowing great!!! I forgot that the song was missing the haunting female vocals, transfixed by Taylor's solo!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🎸 😯😲😳🤯
Mick Taylor makes Ronnie Wood sound like a school boy . Taylor , Best guitarist stones ever had and one of the best ever in rock & blues history
Agreed..but they also occupy somewhat different places. MT more lead...RW more mix of lead and rhythm
Mick Taylor took The Rolling Stones to the toppermost of the uppermost...to coin a phrase.
toppermost of the poppermost
and he did that because in 1969 when the music world had turned into Hendrix and Cream playing incredible live concerts, they got their own virtuoso... they NEEDED him...
I agree. In this take Taylor was blazing hot. From 1968 - 72 the band was at its peak, creatively and live performance. And Taylor had much to do with it.
That guitar tone is unreal!
Mick Taylor is easily the most UNDERRATED guitar player in history. Dude could absolutely shred.
What ever he said. BRILL….
The best. Doesn't matter the credit he got. He was the best.
Mick Taylor must be one of the greatest lead guitarists of all time. I love the live gig he did with Little Feat
Wow-- that's pure rock 'n roll power. They're like a freight train on this one.
A genius who elevated every Stones song to a new level of music!
Not the same without Mick Taylor’s slide and great leads… With him this band morphed into a powerful hard edged rock band…
I like albums like Sticky Fingers , but also the early stuff , and Black and Blue .
I like the strong emphasis you put on Mick Taylor. His contribution to the Stones music can't be overestimated.
Imho MT's best guitar solo (hardly known) is here: czcams.com/video/srfQste2i50/video.html&ab_channel=JohnMayall-Topic
Wood couldn't shine his shoes!
no it can't... remember, when he joined he was the only guy who had experience at playing guitar LIVE... he had been touring with Mayhall during the era when The Stones (like the Beatles) were only in the studio... and before that the girls screamed louder than the music itself, so... Mick Taylor is singlehandedly the most important human being to both find and perfect what's STILL called The Stones Sound...
And yet Wood is a fully fledged " Stone" while Taylor was paid a wage!
@@dugaldsinclair7480 To be fair to Wood, he was on salary for almost 20 years!
Mick rules…this rocks ! My favorite is…Can you hear me Knocking…Taylor at his finest !
Mick Taylor always passes the ear test. It’s definitely some next level shit! 🎸
Man!!! Mick Taylor is unbelievable!
Yep, Mick Taylor’s on fire here
MELODIC? Thats an understatement.........Talor was magnificent.
You are right - this is the best version of this great song. Mick Taylor's guitar is superb, soaring and flying - unbelievably good!
Mick Taylor had the true sound the Stones needed. They sound here like the Stones I remember fondly. I still listen to a lot of RS music but it's Mick Taylor that puts the biggest smile on my face.
Ooo!! I sure like this take of my no 1 favorite Stones tune. Taylor and Keith feeding off each others chord .
Taylor was on another level..
MT took the stones to another level
Yes, the best. Stones style really shows how they are different than your average rock band. Go Mick Taylor.
What a stunner! Keith and Mick Taylor are fully invested in making sure every ounce of the song's considerable power is exercised and Jagger's vocals have none of the campiness that has dominated all of the later years.
Haha you're so right. By the end of the Brussels Affair you can hear those mannerisms creeping into his performance. No surprise Keith keeps asking him to sing the way he plays harp.
Lead guitar mastery on full display here.
Taylor was awesome in Stones. He makes their songs thrilling.
What Mick Taylor does well here is let the vocals have space when they need it especially on 'just a kiss away'. He gives a lot of energy to this song.
Mick said that Mick Taylor was the best guitarist they had for him to interplay with.
YES!!!!
Best version I’ve ever heard. With Mick on guitar…it is like “Free Bird meets Gimme Shelter “…😮😮😮
Bingo
Most people who think they're Stones fans don't even know who Mick Taylor was, and he was the BEST guitarist they ever had. He was up there with Clapton, in my opinion.
EVERY member of The Rolling Stones should give Mick Taylor 3 million dollars!! Starting with Mick Jagger !!!
Haha
I agree...I was given a bootleg CD of this, and I would play this cut over and over and over again in my car; just grooving on Keith's sawing rhythm guitar, Mick Taylor's soaring, luminous lead, and Mick's scorching vocals. It's a raggedy mess, but just so full of raw Stones' power at their concert-playing peak...
Man to be a rock music fan 1970-1973. Prime Stones, Zeppelin, Who, Sabbath, Purple in heavy rock world, and lots of other cool bands to see: Santana, Humble Pie, Montrose, early ZZ Top, the Winters brothers, the Allmans. Then all the amazing singer/songwriters: Joni, JT, Carole King, Neil Young. Then all the blues giants still doing it then: the 3 Kings, Buddy Guy. Then the fusion guys like Jeff Beck. All incredible. And Mick Taylor stands with the giants. So melodic and smooth with that biting tone. Loved him
And I forgot Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson etc. I would’ve seen 100 concerts a year if I could’ve.
You're right. It was quite a time to experience new music.
It was sublime!
@Dan-zq
Saw the Stones with Eagles, Montrose, and Trapeze. Felt like a dream. Me and 70k of my friends .
@@razorsharpe3371 that’s awesome man! I love those bands, Montrose is one of the best for a period!
Mick Taylor simply brilliant!
Love Taylor's playing.
The years with Mick were the best!
With Mike Taylor it was something else... A high level they never regained after he left.
it seemed like they didn't even half to, or need to... to me it's like, as far as a live band, they rested on their laurels after Taylor...
After Mick Taylor left, they settled into a comfortable second career as their own tribute band.
This version is pure rock: dirty, raw, electric and exploding with this untamed Taylor-guitar but what it lacks to be the really best version is Merry Clayton's voice. Then it would have been eternal....
MT is magic!!!
Mick Taylor gave them a crazy good sound, the best time of the Stones
I was at this show at the Spectrum My High School years The Spectrum is gone but the Stones are still rocking
It's like the Altamont version but with a little more Michigan sound and a little less sonic personification of unleashing the fire power of every jet on station upon yourself in the jungle. Absolutely love it!
Altamont version is masterpiece, raw and so powerful.
Ahh yes, 1972 - I was 11 years old. But I aways loved Gimme Shelter. And Mick Jones did a great job for them.Being from Philly, I recognize the old Convention Center - The place the Beatles played in Philly too. With its low almost claustaphobic roof. Pre-Spectrum. Love it. Thanks so much my friend. I am glad someone is capturing this stuff for the future. Blessings.
I am of the age when the Stones were truly the greatest rock band in the world. In 1972 no other band could come close to their greatness. I was a witness to this.
HEY Jenner... ur so right... 68 to 73 ish .. no one could touch the Stones ... The beatles were done..., Dylan in one of his recluse stages... I think Jagger & Richards knew this on some level .. I too was fortunate enough to witness this.
Same.
Wow, I was there, great to hear it again. They were truly dangerous and edgy back then.
Spot on!
I was there too. I often wonder if the people I see when I'm out and around are people that were at the Electric Factory, Tower Theater, and Spectrum concerts with me. They were so much tighter in '72 than they were in '69. Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones. One of the best shows I've ever been to, and I've been to a few.
Indeed the best version. Taylor’s guitar roars.
A much underrated quality in Taylor's playing. But he could be as dirty and nasty as hell when he was up for it. There just seemed to be more darkness in his playing than Brian and Keith could manage.
it's funny because people only credit him as playing "melodic" but they never mention that he kicked harder ass on the guitar than anyone in the band EVER
Supers riffs de Keith et magistral virtuose Mick Taylor, jamais ce duo n 'a été égalé en live....
My gawd, Mick Taylor, why on earth did you ever leave? Damn near destroyed the greatest band in R&R.
