I'm so sorry they got a hold of you.

We will be at the Bull Run this Saturday. Can't wait!

Just heard that the Nortrhampton gig was very good.

OMG what a night. The Iron Horse is a very intimite venue, maybe 200 people max, a sunken area around the stage and a small balcony. The tour bus was in front of the building and I met Mick out front before the show. As snapcrakle mentioned the green room is in the basement and you have to walk through the entire club to get to it, so Mick was quite accesable to everyone. I had a perfect spot standing behind the sound board which was eye level with the stage at most 20 feet away. At the start Mick mentioned that he had flown in last night and was quite jet lagged, he said he might forget some words but he could play(that would be the understatement of the century). It was his usual backing band, drums, keyboard, bass, guitar(awesome) and Mick. They played with incredible energy and Mick was in front control of the band, on numereous occasions he just went off on the most incredible solos as the rest of the band just smiled as he was definately in the groove on Opening Night. Two standouts for me were and incredible Blind Willie McTell that morphed into Layla, Cocaine, All Along The Watchtower and back to BWM- I believe I witnessed something magical on this song - his slide playing was unreal. The second standout was the encore of No Expectations - they absolutely rocked out on this song - no slow ballad from Mick T on this one. I hate to pick out just these two because the entire show was incredible. After the show I again ran into Mick going downstairs to the dressing room and shook his hand and told him what an incredible performance it was. Then being the fanatic that we all are, I followed him downstairs and waited outside the greeen room to see if he might sign something. After about 5 minutes he came out and was quite surprised by all of us standing outside waiting to see if he might sign our things. I got into the room 4th and had him sign my 1973 Hawaii Tour Stones Program by his picture, he commented about the program and looked thru the entire thing, I told him what an incredible show it was along with his entire band and thanked him for coming back to the US after cancelling out last year, he was very gracious but was so tired he could barely stand up. I was expecting a great show, but I never expected to see the show I saw tonight, honestly I was embarressed that I only paid $25.00 for my ticket, Mick T is truly one of the greatest guitar players ever, and we witnessed that tonight. Run, don't walk to go see his shows.

i was supposed to go but SOMEONE does not know my phone # anymore

MT knows mine, but he hardly ever calls anymore unless he needs something from me....

Well, then you can wait very long I presume. But don't you know his number? Ask him by the way if he did new overdubs etc. or that Mathijs is right. And give him my regards please thank you.

i have his number somewhere, yeah, but have very little occasion to call him; it's turned into a mostly one-sided relationship since he quit the stones.

just like my old boss jimmie used to say "you cant have one guy doing all the work because there will be resentments "

the MIGHTY casey came thru and now there is joy in mudville again .praise the good lord !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a good show, but almost identical to what I saw him do TEN years ago, except that he seems to have finally dropped CYHMK. He could have replaced it with something from Exile, under the circumstances.

Jeff Allen?

I just can't believe that no one is asking Mick Taylor any question about the Exile issue/overdubs whereas he seems to be so accessible to his fans if I've understood the reports well.

With the set list thus far adhering to his traditional fare, I wonder what to make of this announcement regarding the Riverside, CA show @ Voodoo Lounge:


Mick Taylor
former original member of The Rolling Stones
Saturday May 15th

An Evening of Classic Stones

Mick Taylor performing live at the Voo Doo Lounge

"Mick" Taylor is an English musician best known as a former member of The
Rolling Stones and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. During his tenure with those
bands, Taylor gained a reputation as a reliable technical guitarist with a
preference for blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll and a talent for
slide guitar.

Mick will be playing 90% Stones Songs [!!! ???]


Anybody this this unusual set will really happen?

I think that announcement should be filed under False Advertising.

My thoughts exactly.

David Knopfler is joining him (playing together) for about 3 of the shows, I wonder how that may alter his setlist. Maybe they will do Sultan's of Swing with Mick doing the Mark parts?
I highly doubt it.

Wouldn't surprise me if Mick cancels this gig, once he finds out it was advertised in this ridiculous manner.

Is Knopfler actually playing with Taylor or just opening?
