Mick Taylor makes this performance work so well, incredible playing by him. He was the best guitarist the Stones ever had besides Keith.
@fuchsiaswing85452 ай бұрын
Just different. He was the only virtuoso the band ever had as an official member. I'd say the other virtuoso was defacto member Nicky Hopkins. But Taylor was like putting an all-star player on a street ball team; he immediately elevated the band, especially since they had abandoned live music for almost two years when he had joined. So they were really starting from scratch.

Besides Keith? Taylor is in a whole other league to Keith. At best, Keith Richards is a great rhythm player and good to very good overall. Taylor is simply great. A phenomenal guitarist.
@fuchsiaswing85452 ай бұрын
@@davescurry69 Absolutely. Keef’s power has always been in driving the band and creating momentous riffs. His solos are fragmented and choppy, but can anyone deny that “Gimme Shelter” and “Sympathy for the Devil” are iconic solos? Not for their virtuosity but for playing memorable notes and never more than what is necessary. I also love the way Taylor and Keef contrast yet complement each other. I never felt Wood pushed Keef to be greater, but Taylor, in a sense, did. In a way, he pushed the whole band to be greater.
@davescurry692 ай бұрын
@fuchsiaswing8545 agree completely. Richards and Taylor were the perfect foil for each other. And the rest of the band did play better than they ever did before or after Mick T was there. Ronnie Wood may look the part more, and buddy up to Keith more, but the third guitar pairing of the Stones has always been the least impressive (and least important).

I don't care what anyone says. No band could touch the Stones on a night-for-night basis on a live stage from 1969 to 1973. They would often play an afternoon show and a night show, and ALWAYS tear it up. Even amongst all the debauchery, drugs, and hedonism, it never impaired them as a live act the way it occasionally did to members of the Who or LZ. They set the standard and model for modern touring in 1969, with their North American Tour (which LZ openly replicated), and by 1972-73, with lead guitarist Mick Taylor fully unleashed (the most underrecognized guitar god of the era), they were untouchable. Also, this is arguably the best-extended lineup of the Stones, which includes Jim Price and Bobby Keys on the brass, and Nicky Hopkins on the keys. As for Mick's jumpsuit, it is one of the most famous garments in rock and roll history and was designed by famed fashion designer Ossie Clark.

In a couple of other shows, they even played some deeper cuts like “Ventilator Blues,” “Torn and Frayed,” “Loving Cup,” and the extremely rare “Sweet Black Angel.”

(The Stones are notorious for playing songs differently and putting different spins on them from tour to tour.) Also, the way the band plays on the 1972 and 1973 Tours compared to the tours from 1969 to 1971 is night and day. Here, the pace and tempo were so much more frenetic.
