Wow... That is when guitar playing meant more than posing in The Rolling Stones.... The Richards/Taylor pairing was the greatest guitar duo in all of rock and this comes from a giant Allman Brothers fan... Here's my 3... 1 LIV- Ya Ya's.. CYHMK -SF and...Quote

I'd go with Kleerie's first two, but substitute Winter for the Love In Vain solo from Welcome To New York. There's nothing wrong with that version of Winter, of course - it's great - but Love In Vain defines Taylor's brilliance, and that particular version is the best I've ever heard:

Although it's not a Stones song, Taylor's work on Stop Breaking Down is simply masterful and contrasts perfectly to Jagger's grunge playing.

Stoneburst - The Former MCDDTLC here. (that acct got deleted for some reason?)
My personnel favorite Live version of LOVE IN VAIN,is from the Boot: DRIPPIN HONEY
1972 Charlotte N.C. I suggest you track that version down and compare....
Taylor's Melodic Leads are SPECIAL in this un-forgetable recording. What I wouldn't give to jump in a time machine and go back to catch this show, and Wash DC on the 4th of July to see the all-time GREATEST version of: CAGWYW
Another Taylor/Stones MUST-HAVE!!! MLC
Love what your doing - Klear!!!!

Which are Taylor's three greatest solo's that are related to Stones music? A difficult question, but to my taste these they are:
1) You Can't Always Get What You Want - live in London, 1973 Sept. 8, first show, from 4:09 on
2) Sway - live with Carla Olson in Los Angeles, 1990 March 4 (the whole second solo)
3) Winter - studio version with Carla Olson, recorded in 1990, from 4:03 on

Kleery - Ever hear the SWAY version from the 1st show that night with Carla?? Quite impressive, have it on a boot - Carla said that one day, she might release the 1st show... Let's hope - Incredible version of" Rubies & Diamonds'
superior to the "Snakes Live CD"... MLC
No MLC, I never heard it, alas. I also don't have that boot. Maybe you could upload it, or at least that Sway version?
I have another Sway-solo (not the whole song) from a show in autumn 1991 (I don't know the exact date). It's quite nice too.

Er, he? Wot? I name three tracks that really blow my socks off, and than I am a anti-Taylorite?
He's done a ton of fantastic things (TD and Angie solo from Brussels, Heartbreaker from London, Sympathy from Ya Ya's, Love in Vain and YCAGWYW in 1972), but these three really spring in mind first of mind-boggling solo's he's done. These are carreer defining in my opinion.
And no, I don't think he made Keith a better player (Ronnie did that, from 1975 to 1982 on), and no I don't think Taylor was a good rhythm guitar player, and yes I do think his role in the Stones is very much overrated. But that all doesn't take anything away from these three stand-out moments.

"Anti-Taylorite" or "Anti-Taylor"?
DoomAndGloom probably hasn't been around here long enough to catch the hundreds of positive posts about Taylor you've shared with us...
