Rolling Stones - Loving Cup (Mick Taylors First Session June 1969)

Mick Taylors first session as a member of The Rolling Stones , June 1969 . Loving Cup

Exile is a great album. Mick made his Gibson sound like a piano

[@bevo1776]

The greatest mistake the Stones ever made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK, to keep Mick Taylor in the band. For starters, they could have PAID him. He was given no credits on SEVERAL albums---in other words, no residuals. In addition, his mates should have helped him with drug addiction and got him the help he needed to stay with the band. They did not... With all due respect to Keith Richards---on Mick Taylor's WORSE DAY, Keef couldn't hold a candle to him. Make no mistake, Keith Richards is a very good guitarist. Mick Taylor is a GREAT guitarist. A guitar genius. Right up there with Hendrix, Clapton, and Santana. No doubt about it. The five albums he produced with the Stones from '69-'74 are all classics. The band was never the same after 1974.

[@alanosterman7130]

Stone's Mick Taylor years were special. From mid 60s short "boy meets girl " songs, to the era of guitar "slingers" jamming, was quite a leap, in just a few short years. But, love Ronnie too. More so with the Faces. "A Nod... to a Blind Horse" is such a great album too. Stones tended to stiffel Ronnie too much, imho.

[@freakbennett2263]

Nűff sāīd, jűs sāyīn !😎✌️😎!

[@TheBearBiffo]

A big part of it too was that Keith really went downhill as a writer right around the middle to the end of the Taylor years so what followed was always going to seem worse. Not sure he did anything on IORR, did he? That's mostly the two Micks though Taylor of course got no credits. The famed title song, Keith wasnt there when Mick J, Ron W and Bowie wrote it and I dont think he even plays on it. Some Girls had Beast of Burden but that may have been the last great song (music) that Keith wrote.

Best version of 'Loving Cup' ever! Thank you for putting this gem up. Everything MT touched turned to gold and this is FACT! Woodie's been with the band 35+ years and "Some Girls" was the last Stones LP of any significance. Taylor did 2 tracks on Beggars, by the way, 2 tracks on Bleed, and the Stones' best material came out from Sticky Fingers up to It's Only Rock 'n Roll." That's all you need to know. Of course, the fact that he wasn't given credit on "Moonlight Mile", "Sway", "Till The Next Time We Say Goodbye", "Time Waits For No One" + the 25 or so unreleased songs on boots like "The Trident Mixes" and the other gems this man wrote, was fucked up by Jagger and Richards, but hey, anyone can tell that the guitar work on these songs was from MT…and no one else.

Right on point, Paul....the song never needed a children's choir intro. What could be more majestic or magnetic than Keef's chill definitive thesis: "Putting the song in an appropriate context, making an overture that the rest of the song has only to encore, section by section; making a bold, quietly confident statement of intent which inspires the rest of my band to burn with me." Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts, and the other Mick respond with wry grins. Nicky Hopkins, Wyman and Bobby or Trevor or whoever get into the spirit of things, and why WAS some other version released as if some crackers for a "Goats' Head Soup" rerelease, when tthis Divine masterpiece of rock and roll prophecy was RIGHT THERE? THIS is the last book of the Holy Rock and Roll scriptures: The Revelation Chapter One 1)8 The 70's are to be the 60's again. 2) Know ye not that time is a flat circle? Play this at 33 and 1/3, 45 or 78, and the message will not change. 3) If you don't understand what the second verse even meant, LOOK OUT! 4) The past is upon you, there is no escape for you from the consequences. 5) The consequences of what?

Little Red Rooster, The Last Time, Satisfaction, Get Off My Cloud, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It Black, Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadows, Let's Spend The Night Together, Ruby Tuesday, We Love You/Dandelion, Jumping Jack Flash/ Child Of The Moon. Also their first great album Aftermath. I know lots of people don't like Their Satanic Majesties Request, but I really like it. Psychedelia. It's totally different to what they sounded like before or after, so it's just nice to listen to this oddity in their vast catalogue. He also played on Beggar's Banquet.

Just realizing that young Mick T and Christopher guest circa Spinal Tap bear a striking mutual resemblance. Resemblances aside, what a band that would've been; Spinal Tap feat. Mick Taylor.

that take fucking rocked!!! thank you

[@bupe007]

Very good Mick Taylor!

[@bigbisb]

This versions's cleaned up mix here sounds fuckin' great. 'Cept in the rougher one I'm used to you can hear Bill's bass much better. It's way up. Like everything is in the red. Snarling. M.T. era Stones is the golden age of the Stones, of Rock & Roll, of the world. Never to be outdone or even matched. Worth tryin' though I guess.

the beginning of the stones' best time ...

[@richmeyer7216]

When Mick left the Stones I was basically done with them‼

[@grahamwhite6806]

Just incredibly good!

It's on a lot of bootlegs. Hillside Blues for example. This continues to be my favorite version.

Some stuff I had never heard before, great job, thanks

I've got a bootleg Stones album on mp3 called Obsidian and it has an outtake of Jumping Jack Flash which sounds like Mick Taylor is playing on. It may be Keith + Keith overdubs, definitely not Brian Jones though, but the guitars got that Taylor sound melodic blues lead. It would have been early 1968 and I've heard Taylor had jammed with the Stones before he joined. In those days there would have just been a few recording studios and the bands would have all been using them and meeting each other.

Underrated piano

There’s a bootleg called Obsidian and it’s got numerous studio outtakes from the early days up to the early 80’s and there’s a version of Jumping Jack Flash which I think Mick Taylor is playing on. It’s two guitars, possibly Keith and Keith overdubbed, certainly not Brian Jones but it does sound like Mick Taylor and I have heard he jammed with the Stones before he joined the band.

Exile is my fave all-time album and Mick Taylor was the triggerman. MT was also the key to their gtreatest era, 1969-1974.
