Mick Taylor playing one song leadguitar is superior to Blondie Chaplin playing nonsense unheard acoustic for one or more tours like he did.
Take it easy...this is 2015. No Blondie is a fact.>

I remember some folks here SAYING that, but I can't remember ever seeing it or hearing it for myself, after much observation. Someone want to fill me in on the specifics, cuz I sure remember some crappy solos and it wasn't Blondie playing them. I remember some good ones too, and it wasn't Blondie playing them. If they were going to have him cover any of Keith's bits, it should have been the opening to Brown Sugar a few years back.

Ah, I get what you meant now by "solo cuts". I thought you meant guitar solos. But Keith doesn't even pick up the guitar here, he just steps up to the mic and sings. There's no "appeared that Blondie was covering" about it, he was playing a soft acoustic part opposite Ronnie. He certainly wasn't playing anything audible or Keith-like, just filling in the sound while Ronnie played Keith's part. Sorry I misunderstood, I'm having flashbacks to people suggesting that Blondie was on the payroll to cover Keith's licks. I guess in a small sense, he was.
HuH? He was right out in the open (except on opening numbers when the band don't want side musicians/backup singers on stage).
As the good maumau has already implied, watching FourFlicks sadly is a pretty strange choice.
I strongly recommend enjoying the hell out of it next time - that's what it's for.
He played less than Taylor did on Satisfaction on every song. Not really comparable.
It didn't appear like that at all. He was strumming and singing. Not the same as "covering for Keith".

...As I remember it: legend goes that this happend during the Bigger Bang tour; nót Licks.
Keith was so 'out of it', due to brain surgery and whatever-else, that Blondie regularly hod to cover up for Keith's failing guitar parts... - from behind an amp, under the stage even, etc. - that's how the gossip was, anyway.
(All BS, if you ask me. guitars were crap anyhow!
)
And as far as Four Flicks goes: there is absolutely nothing wrong with that video collection of gigs nor tracks. In fact: it is compeletely & utterly 100% marvelous. Just play it loud; over & over & over I'd say.
But since this is almost certain to become yet another "Mick Taylor Shrine"-like thread, and literaly nothing past '74 is respected by the people that are involved in threads like that, I won't kid myself and bid you all farewell.
The ONLY time I have actually heard Blondie's guitar is the acoustic on Nearness Of You from the FF release.

...the MSG show. Watching Blondie play guitar got me to thinking about how he was allowed to play on more songs that Mick Taylor was during his 2012-2014 run. How sad is that?
I love that MSG show, mainly because I was there. I've been on HBO, Pay Per View, and had Marty "direct" me in Shine A Light. It's been a great run.

funny how there's always a way to look at things sadly. one could see the same thing on the other side: wow! cool that there is no blondie playing an extra guitar and that the sound doesn't seem to be affected at all by the absence of a background guitar and that they call taylor again on tour for a couple of years ... but I guess it is a matter of perspective
no harm intended

Difference is nobody was really paying any attention to Blondie. People took notice of Mick T.

Blondie stood behind an amp I take it? Non-visible?

What was really scary was when it appeared that Blondie was "covering" for Keith, especially on the solo cuts. Thankfully that was only temporary (for whatever reason) and now, Keith appears to be back!

Regardless of what he was playing, the fact Blondie strapped one on so much makes me sick.

I remember some folks here SAYING that, but I can't remember ever seeing it or hearing it for myself, after much observation. Someone want to fill me in on the specifics, cuz I sure remember some crappy solos and it wasn't Blondie playing them. I remember some good ones too, and it wasn't Blondie playing them. If they were going to have him cover any of Keith's bits, it should have been the opening to Brown Sugar a few years back.
