I was wondering, is that Mick's 2003 Les Paul with a newly added Bigsby, or is it a new guitar?

Presumably it's something like this one: [www.area59.jp]

He has played the Johnson guitar before, but not used it consistently since.

Thanks...I would LOVE to see him if he only come the the States!!

I would really love it if he return to the Stones with Woodie and Bill all on the same stage.

You do know about the Iridium shows, right?

I'm sorry but this is just boring. Seems like Taylor is stuck in time. In 1963 this might have been fresh and inspiring, not so in 2012. And there are thousands of amateur pub blues bands that can play just as boring and somnolent as this.

.

So it's boring, because it's the year 2012 ? and Mick Taylor plays your local,Please tell me what floats your boat? This is a Stones and related board and you casually dismiss him as one of thousands.I never said this was a performance to Change the world but If MT came by my Local on a Saturday night I would not pass up the chance to see him.You must be spoilt by Inspiring Bands, STONEAGED ? OH sorry it's stoneage in the year 2012? hardly inspiring.

Just a personal opinion, Tonstone. Don't take it so hard. I'm not refering to the technitality of his guitarplaying but the whole concept. And no, I would't pay to go and see him if he came by my local pub. But I would love to see him back in The Rolling Stones even if it was just for one concert.

Hey not taking hard at all, can't help thinking your contradicting yourself, I went along because a Stones guitarist was playing local in Scotland. we are a small Country and respect anyone who comes our way - and when MT is playing well you gotta move. I respect your comments and each person is intitled to their opinion.I loved the evening with an average blues guitarist,and the concept that I could go and see an evening of the blues in a small intimate venue, well I would do that every weekend if possible, even if was only Mick Taylor!!

It's alright, Tonstone. Considering the trouble you went through to film and publish the clip I really shouldn't have commented at all. Sometimes talking is silver and not talking gold...

Stonage I understand no hard feelings at all,[Maybe I should have got of my high horse too] it's healthy to voice an opinion that's what makes a board interesting. so keep on posting and take care!!

So please, why don't you make a dvd out of all the videos of the show and share it hear or post all the videos and we will make it?
It would be very kind of your part.

I saw Little Mick play in Fareham 1992 to 750 people sold out.

In 2003 he played the Brook pub in Southampton to about 70 people and the place wasn't even half full.

I just wish he was popular enough to sell out Rhythm Kings sized venues in the UK.

I was going to post them up - went to upload them on youtube but it ws going to take something stupid like 3 - 4 hours for a video approx 10 mins - either I am doing something wrong or youtube is playing up,it's relatively new to me so I guess it must be something I am doing/or not doing.- I used a Flipcam HD to record and then downloaded them to my pc were they appear as mp4 files. So any help or tips appreciated.

it doesn't get better, seeing great musicians in venues like that...

thanks for posting

I hope I get the chance to see Mick Taylor

Duke appreciate your comments - I have some wonderful footage Which will stay with me forever. I just went to see a Stones Guitar Player fluent in his craft, playing in my local area.It was a great way to spend a Saturday Night.And pay respect to someone who influenced.Sticky Fingers - Exile On Main Street - Goats Head Soup.[The most underated Album in the Stones Catalogue].The Best £25 I ever spent.

Well if Taylor could actually be bothered to put out the odd recording he may get bigger crowds.

I'm not an expert myself, but mp4 files seems to be alright and we can make a dvd from them. Maybe you can upload all those files here and someone of us will make a dvd, create a cover art, etc. It would be great!

Why doesn't he join the Rhythm Kings? Do he and Bill get along?

Thanks for posting. I'm seeing him in NYC next month at the Iridium Jazz Club. I'm very psyched.

MT is playing 6 nights in NYC at the Iridium club, and i'll be there May 12

Mick's rock, I'm roll.

fOR those who requested here is another clip from MT'S Scottish gig last earlier this month - sorry about the Horizontal footage but will clear that and correct it when I post next time

thankx or that new expextation
please add more
i sa mick play that song at th new morning in july 2010
he was beginning to be ill and was exhausted
i wonder what brand is the guitar
it looks like a japanese strat copy

The Green Hotel is indeed a great venue to see anybody.. I myself played there last October, and was told a story about Mick Taylor's previous visit to the venue:
He arrived and was shown to his room, but returned a few minutes later, looking puzzled. 'I just opened my suitcase, and it's empty!' MT had neglected to pack any clothes!
The guitar great was then taken into town on a tour of charity shops searching for suitable clothes for his stay in Scotland...

I first heard a version of NoEx by Taylor while I sat in a bar with fuman at a place called 19 Broadway in Marin County (north of SF) in August '01. We were listening to a sound check when he broke into that rhythm. Our heads spun around to when we realized what song it was. I think Mick debuted his version later that week in LA as I recall. He's worked on it for years and has come up with a perfectly valid interpretation. I rather like it. I would not mind hearing that version in a different context, if you know what I mean.

Thanks so much! Great to hear and see!


Seems to be the only song in his set on which he is content to play only rhythm--though I like it when he plays lead as well.

Thanks a lot for this one!
I've always liked Mick's version of No Expectations, his "favourite RS song even though [he's] not on it".
CrazyMama

I'm not fond of Taylor's interpretation which seems to drag on till the end in a rather monotone way. I miss the melancholy and nostalgia of the live version from 1973 which I consider the best one. Both guitarists playing together fantastically.

^ Crap solo's.

Nothing beats this version, imo.

If you don't like Taylor it's your opinion, but please do not be
so unfriendly with so many guys here who have respect for him.

I am not sure what happened to Taylor's slide solo on the song. When did that get dropped? And why? He has done beautiful performances of that song.
