Looks like backstage '69





__________________________

Amazing ! Thought it was Keith..

it is backstage MSG 1969 bonus footage from the gimme shelter dvd

Mick has his hands on the guitar, but his eyes on Tina. Pretty bold, with Ike sitting right there.

He might just be noodling but Mick obviously even then shows some aptitude for guitar. He's always been an all-around talented musician and IMO never gotten enough recognition for it.

Mick got one of the Ikettes numbers that night.

Did Keith teach Mick guitar at some point or is that an urban myth? Does anyone know what song or album gave Mick his first guitar credit? He has seemed pretty comfortable from the early 70s on.

First credit was on Sticky Fingers, but he was clearly playing long before that. He shows the grasp of Delta blues feeling that he later perfected in his memorable part on "Stop Breaking Down".

He played acoustic guitar on early versions of Sympathy For The Devil, he also played guitar on Robert Johnson's 'Come On In My Kitchen' (Performance)
Mick's first guitar credit was on Sticky Fingers (Sway, Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile)

I loved Mick's playing on the live versions of I Go Wild and Don't Stop--very good uh huh!!!

I remember being most impressed by his guitar work on Moonlight Mile in '99. Previously, he'd pretty much just banged out the rhythm and mugged a bit admidst the racket. But, here, they were a genuine three-guitar band with three distinct parts: Jagger holding down the core melody, Richards with fills, and Wood with slide parts over the choruses. They did a lesser version of this with the versions of Sister Morphine in '97-98.
