Mick Taylor & Albert King, 1982 Jammin With Blues Greats

[@steeler63]

Mick Taylor was the Stones best guitarist, and no one could replace him.

[@carmenbrown3437]

Yea

[@p1nesap]

I'm honored to have shaken the huge hand of Albert King. Still can feel it.

[@brianwells4507]

I've seen this many times but it finally hit me! No one, I mean no one can sit in with Albert King? Albeit the collaboration with Albert and Stevie Ray but that was Stevie's way to honor him. Like Johnny Winter did with Muddy Waters, as paying tribute to his mentor. Mick Taylor's playing on this just contributed so much to Albert's performance is tasteful and brilliant!

[@georgiarodriguez6197]

I would only pay to see the rolling stones if Mick Taylor would go back on tour with them! The Stones were at their best with Mick Taylor!

[@mikewheeler3994]

I used to think the same, but I've seen the Stones 28 times. Once with Mick T on Midnight Rambler as a guest. Yes it was good. But no better than Ronnie, just different.

[@westbatman66]

Richards said he got rid of him because Taylor was so good that he was in constant fear of being overshadowed by his playing.

[@keithnoakes1316]

When Mick Taylor left the Stones, we all cried a river, and we are still crying

[@yardbirdmackay]

im afraid the STONES just werent good enough to keep hold of a player like TAYLOR'

[@alanthomson1227]

So did I when he left Mayan and joined Stones , and same when he left Stones

[@sandecoffey9125]

Could it be that Jagger didn't like Taylor stealing the Limelight. Keith Richards did pretty good though love that guy. Saw Taylor in a seedy little bar in Arizona early 80s best show cuz the bar was empty.

[@kenkinnally6144]

@@sandecoffey9125 I read that Taylor had developed a serious drug problem after a few years with Keith and the rest. And I'm pretty sure he wasn't getting paid the same as the original members. Probably still a good gig but maybe kind of insulting after a while. So for his own sake he needed to get out of there. The Stones gig gave him more fame than his career had up to that point but it became destructive for him personally. Too bad, Sticky Fingers is a high point for them. But Jimmy Miller the producer of that album was another one who became a party animal around the time of working with the Stones and he wound up self-destructing. So everyone can look at it all as they want. Ideally if Mick Taylor could gave stayed with them for a few more years then their sound would gave been that much stronger musically. But at least he's lived a long life and is still around to talk about it. The same can't be said for Brian Jones or Jimmy Miller.

Mick Taylor just might be the most underrated, under appreciated, and unknown guitarist ever! ( not by me ) His work with the Rolling Stones were their best years.

[@jeromegeers5707]

Keith Richard's said Mick Taylor was to good to be with the Stones

[@josephdegennaro6819]

I agree. Guess he was just too quiet, and I read that he was not liking the whole scene. I thought he was as good if not better than kieth.

I saw John Mayall with Mick Taylor, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie (both taking a break from Fleetwood Mac) in the mid 80’s playing in Green Bay, Wi. Mick was the consummate virtuoso and was nailing Albert King lick for lick (which he played a lot of). Fantastic musicians all!

Complete reverence and respect from Mick Taylor here to sir Albert King. Got to give a LOT of credit to John Mayall.The man certainly had an eye for the young and upcoming guitarists on the blues scene. Praised and backed every one to the hilt. Three legends right there.❤

[@nilla003]

@68’ Rumble Bee Perhaps, but Taylor was a better guitarist.

[@larrynolletti4594]

@David John the records and tours after Taylor left with Woody are phenomenal....Woody fit the band like a glove....the chemistry....cohesion.....camaraderie....and showmanship has been so much better with Woody in the band....they don't need a virtuoso who stands there an entire show and other than his fingers doesn't move or twitch a muscle an entire show.....the guitar weaving between Woody and Keef is unparalleled....legendary....Woody is certainly a better song writer and his solo albums are the best of all of the Stones....including the 2 in 45 years that Taylor put out....( of course Taylor has some great live albums....I own all of his releases and saw him 3 times playing wailing blues in small clubs ) Woody is great on boogie rockers....funk and reggae....slide blues....pedal steel......with that being said....Taylor was a much better lead guitarist ( actually better than most ) and he played some great leads to Jagger and Richard's songs....also it's not even a discussion what a massive step up Taylor was from the burnt out acid head Brian Jones ....

[@dannydine5263]

I wonder if Mick Taylor's career trajectory would have been different if he had been more of a showman. Forget about connecting with the audience (besides the amazingly tasty guitar licks) he barely even makes eye contact with the other musicians.

I'm a HUGE Mick Taylor fan. That said, in 1974, Jagger was jetsetting and Keith's addiction was only getting worse. Taylor quit because he thought the Stones were going to break up and/or Keith would die. Also, Taylor didn't play on the band's most recent single (IORR), Ron Wood did. It was recorded at his estate. Ron Wood comes in and plays intermediary to Jagger and Richards. The break-up doesn't happen. Keith gets off heroin, the band puts out Some Girls... None of that happens without the chemistry Ron Wood brings.
