This thread started with a live performance of YCAGWYW, The Rolling Stones with Ron Wood. There's also a live version of this song with MT in this thread, the well known Brussels 'affair', 1973.
Here's my very first clip on YT, it's my favourite version of YCAGWYW, with one of my very favourite Taylor-moments, as I wrote in this thread:

Also, Ronnie has a reputation for carousing, an image I like in a rock super star. Mick Taylor is a choir boy.

Discussing Taylor's merits and Wood's merits, Jones merits within the Stonea are essential for a Stonesboard. Even who might be better, which really means only who prefers who. But what I really hate are posts that throw around terms like "Woodist" and "Taylorites". That is drawing clear lines. I do think 99% here love all 3 versions of the Stones and know what it is all about.
In those 73 shows IMO Taylor sounds bored in places. He had the speed and fluidity that no one else in the band ever had, but he started applying it in senseless runs up and down the neck. Nothing against him; it is human nature. I do believe that his years solo taught him a lot as musician, and he would never call the Stones boring or limited anymore. Just those snippets from KC 81 make me wonder what he could do with today's songs in today's Stones; even for just a few shows or one album. Totally worth it IMO. Jagger, Keith, Taylor, Watts and Wood. If Jagger agreed - I guarantee it would take place, and IMO would not be nostalgic waxing, but a great musical experience.

I myself like (live) clips in threads. In this thread clips of the Stones with both Wood and Taylor are allowed, I assume. And while I'm incidentally uploading some clips on YT maybe this is an apt place to give the link once and a while. So here's some slow blues:
