Taylor's boot 41 Licks The Love In Vain Solos 1970-1973.

Taylor's solo from Leeds 3/13/71 is magic as well as all the 41 solos
on the boot.Nice way to say hello to the glimmers with the Boot Title.

The magic of Taylor was he played the slide solo in standard concert tunings


LOL

He played the slide in open G on the 1969 tour.

Mathijs

yes but these are from 1970-1973

I know, but it is harder to play a melodic slide in open G than it is in standard tuning, that's why I mentioned it.

I once down loaded a CD with all LIV solo's from the 1972 tour, and it struck me that the first ten shows Taylor was really struggling to get decent solo's. It wasn't until the second part of that tour when he started playing these incredible solo's.

Mathijs

let me get this right..

this is a bootleg with 41 live versions of the same song from 1970 to 1973??

I have heard about that boot. As far as I know, this is exactly what it is Gazza. I am not a "Taylorite", but like any real Stoner I love Mick Taylor and he is next to godliness IMO. (Like all other 29 Stones..) But I would actually love to hear that disc. If anything for the reasons that Mathijs refers to. To study his solos. You know, the same way I only buy Hustler Mag for the articles LOL...

yes a taylorite took all the boots and spent a great amount of time and
made the boot.He also took all of taylor's solos on YCAGWYW from 72/73.

its out their on sharing the groove i think

yes the live shows from 72 started on the west coast and by the time he hit
the midwest and east coast he was blistering.

You know what would be very cool? To do the same thing with Ron Wood's solos on YCAGWYW in 75. His solos on that tune in 75 were also blistering. That flutterpicking he did. And on LYL version at the end he shifts into this down and nasty grinding funk mix. Kind of gets a minor key feel. I love that part on LYL. I heard him do similar things on other shows of that tour. That would be good.

I'm not sure a bootleg of just guitar solos is my idea of fun really.
Aint it abit like train spotting?!?
I just listened to 'Out on Bail' which is incredible and 'Some like it Hot' again superb. But just solos.....I'd rather read the 'interviews' in Hustler....

I would prefer Taylor 41 solos of YCAGWYW than Ron Wood. I must have already roughly 20 versions.Without any doubt the best one is on Brussels Affairs in 1973. The complicity with Keith is unbelievable .

I like the way you use the word "complicity" here.

yes that solo is tonal heaven,blistering and melodic expressive and all the
rest.keith does his part chomping down on those open chords.

Or a disc with all 562 takes of Citadel .....(oh, sorry that one allready is out there). Anybody besides me ever listened to all those takes back to back? It makes you feel even worse than detoxing!

Ya sadist....get it?

No not the same song, just the solo part.

I believe this was prepared by a guitarist, as was the YCAGWYW, to study, but many non-guitarists enjoy it as well.

I'm also aware of a '69 SFTD collection of Taylor solos.

YCAGWYW 73 : Keith did more than chomping down, he did embrace that song, push it beyond the limits, finding the riffs from heavenly inspiration, not a single chorus is the same. I am still wondering 30 years later how that man found out this perfection. In front of this, Tyalor could but only produce a "tonal heaven" and magic solo. Last but least Bobby Keith was phenomenal supported by Charlie and Bill at teir utmost best. What can poor Ronnie do ? And that version is so simple, epured that it can be only the Stones musically at the top.

My favourite Taylor solo on Love In Vain is the 1972 version from Philadelphia (July 20th or 21st). A . . . K I L L E R!

Considering YCAGWYW I'd prefer Ron's boot 1975. I think Taylor is a bit boring on that particular tune, those descending scales really don't fit the song.

Hmm, weren't the descending notes first played by Mr Richards on electric in the studio version? Did they fit there?

It's a quite big difference between the original version and the live versions from Taylor's era. Perhaps it would be better to say that I like the Wood era arrangement of YCAGWYW better.

Well, I think he just lowered his first string to D.
That's technically a drop D, but it's 2/3 to open G, so...
whatever one wants to call it.
This is what Brian did on some of his slide parts.
I've done it many times when I need to quickly tune
the guitar for a slide part that needs that open tuning.
It's interesting to compare Taylor's tuning on LIV from
the open tuning in '69 to standard tuning later on to Ronnie
in '78 in open E. I'm not talking about performance, but the tone
of the different tunings.
Also, the solo in YCAGWYW from, I think, July 9, 1975, LA Forum,
is absolutely outstanding. Whatever the first one is on
the "Cocaine, blah, blah, Bottle of Jack" compilation is
from the LA shows.
Sorry, I can't remember the complete title.

Isn't it so that Bobby Keyes had been kicked off the 73 tour by the time they hit Brussles ??
