So hard to choose... Loving Cup, Moonlight Mile, or CYHMK.
Is Taylor on Loving Cup at all? I don´t think so.

I don't know -- Gimme Shelter is a Taylor-era song, isn't it? I'd say my favorite Mick Taylor era songs are Honky Tonk Women,Gimme Shelter, Brown Sugar and Rocks Off -- none of these particularly feature Taylor, as it turns out.

But Loving Cup is probably my fav song from the "Taylor era". And yes, before people start typing up a storm, I realise the Stones started working on this song before he joined... As for his playing, on official releases, I think I like his FAT chords on "Little Queenie" Get Yer Ya-Yas... or whatever the hell he is playing on that song, whenever I play it the stereo speakers nearly can't handle the vamping that occurs during the verses... Yes I'll take that particular guitar playing any day over his CYHMK jam (as beautiful as that jam is)Quote

Rocks Off a Taylor song? Taylor can be heard for about 5 seconds in the fade out....

Isn't that Taylor on the 2nd guitar playing all along the song (the one that comes in after the intro riff)?

That's a rhetorical question, liddas. Right 'ear' if listening with earphones.

Loud and clear.Makes it bit more tasty. To much open G guitarwork make the Stones monotone. Taylor creates the perfect balance .
No open G at all on Rocks Off, as you know very well

First, there is no open G guitar on Rocks Off. Aside from the fact that the intro does not use a slackened A string, the intro is played with the same guitar and setup as the remaining guitar on the left channel, and this channel all is Keith on an Ampeg Dan Armstrong or Telecaster (although there are no pics available of a Tele being present at the sessions set-up in standard tuning) through a Fender amp, as is the right channel guitar. So it is:
Intro riff in the left channel: Keith, standard tuning, Armstrong/Tele through Fender amp.
At 0:04 a second guitar enters at the right channel: Keith, standard tuning, Armstrong/Tele through Fender amp.
At: 0:06 a third guitar with out pf phase sound and with reverb enters in the background in the middle of the stereo spectrum. This is Taylor playing a counter melody to the opening riff. This guitar disappears at around 0:16.
Until the middle 8 break there’s only two guitars and a (fantastic!) piano, guitars all Keith, standard tuning. The middle break is again two guitars, all Keith, left channel with added tremolo and right channel with added phase effect.
The two Keith guitars finish the song until a third guitar enters at minus 0:30 playing a counter melody with chords in the same out of phase tone as the third guitar in the intro but without reverb, then at 0:15 this guitar develops in a short lead burst. This guitar is Taylor, and the out of phase tone suggest him playing the Gibson ES-355 with the Varitone set at the third or fourth position.

That seems a good analysis to me, Mathijs. But how are you so sure it's Keith on the right channel all the way from 0:03 on? The repetitiveness and 'pattern' of this guitar reminds me of Taylor on Bitch. So to me it also could be Taylor.
