that's Keith.
the Andy Johns quote sounds like Keith also demonstrated how the rhythm playing needed to work,
but on the released track that's Taylor doing the rhythm work and Richards on lead.

What exactly do you consider the rhythm guitar work on "Live With Me"?
To me its not the ascending/descending single-note motive that's so characteristic for this song, but rather the second guitar, providing the chunky, syncopated rhythm parts in between. THAT has to my ears always been the finest example of Keith's ryhtm guitar genius (especially when heard on the "Isolated Tracks" bootleg). It would be disappointing somehow (but also a testament of Taylor's rhythm guitar chops) should this part have been played by Mick Taylor, even if Keith might have invented it.

Taylor does the choppy rhythm on LWM. AFAIK, the only time he played the other part was in LA in 1973, but that was played along with Richards.

from [www.timeisonourside.com] :
When we were doing Bitch, Keith was very late. Jagger and Mick Taylor had been playing the song without him
and it didn't sound very good. I walked out of the kitchen and he was sitting on the floor with no shoes, eating a bowl of cereal.
Suddenly he said, "Oi, Andy! Give me that guitar." I handed him his clear Dan Armstrong Plexiglass guitar,
he put it on, kicked the song up in tempo, and just put the vibe right on it.
Instantly, it went from being this laconic mess into a real groove. And I thought:
Wow. THAT'S what he does.
- Andy Johns, 2007

One contribution Taylor does claim in "Mojo Magazine" (Jan., 2012 issue): MICK TAYLOR: "At Stargroves...we played in this huge room with a gallery and great acoustics. That's where MOONLIGHT MILE came from...I contributed the riff that [arranger] Paul Buckmaster's strings are based on—that ethereal, unresolving ending."
Well, I believe Mick Taylor stated in his 1979 Guitar Player interview that Keith played the solo. To me though no clarification is needed as Keith's stamp is all over that solo. His very distinct vibrato and phrasing are uniquely him.Quote

Until I hear from someone who was there I am still not 100% sure Richards played the lead, after all a lot of you never knew Taylor played Bass on Fingerprint File and Mr D, many of us thought, wow Bill is really good here but alas, not Bill. Because Bitch has a Chuck Berry type solo people head straight for Keith, Taylor can play Berry as well.

the song reflects Mick Taylor's lead playing at his best. He rips the Am pent. scale on his Les Paul like a bluesman with an attitude. the whole song has MT stylistically weaving from lane to lane, passing others like a Porsche Twin Turbo on the Autobahn fretboard. great guitar work. I miss MT.
Keith may created the opening riff, but MT should have received some songwriting credit on this one.

The riff Taylor played is absolutely the backbone of the song....

Indeed. On some boots of the era he's not amped properly when he plays the riff resulting in a thin, gutless sound.
