Time to move on for Taylor indeed.The Stones could use him.

The Stones were lucky to have Mick Taylor in the band.
I saw the Bluesbreakers reunion with Mick Taylor in 1982 at the Roxy in L.A., and the sheer quality of his playing was breathtaking.

Thanks for sharing, that video is startling both in a good and in a bad sense, to me of course.
good, as the music and the playing is very fine
bad, as it occures to me how grateful i am to andrew loog oldham to have pushed the stones out of the blues purism (and for godzake you can hear it now still in their late "blues" cover album)
this clip is 1968! oh my.. john mayall was still deep into this nice homage playimg, while the stones were about to cook their own best blues-drenched but out of any boundary music (and they were cooking it well before the other mick enter the band)

It's from January 1969, the drummer mentions it in the comments.

The man could play indeed, I mean really play. A great example below, 1982.
John Mayall's voice is not Jagger's of course.

And yes of course Mayall's voice is not quite like Jagger's, but one could possibly say there's a bit more heart and soul, or even 'authenticity' with Mayall singing the blues vs. Jagger.
Can't say I would fully agree with that as I do prefer Jagger, but it could have something to do with Mayall's lifelong journey playing/singing the blues almost exclusively vs. Micks foray into multiple genres (pop, rock, disco, etc., etc., etc.)

Listening to video as I type, and that solo is smoking hot!

Sorry, that's what I meant. Jagger's voice has more soul i.e. darker.

Interesting to listen to this and the bootleg of one of his last gigs with Mayall.

It's obvious that the boy playing guitar requires a new canvas upon which to learn, express and become his own man. Interesting too how the paths of Taylor and the stones flow in a direction that both become so evidently in need of each other at near enough the same time.
