No Expectations has been a standard in Mick Taylor's set for years. Wonder why? Guess he likes it very much, but he never played it live with the Stones.
I'd like to hear any other track fron the 1971-74 era than this.

there's nothing wrong with this... i mean c'mon, who ever thought MT was a singer, anyway?
his slide is nice
His playing is as shite as his singing.
shite compared to what?
MT's shite is better than most peoples best
Taylors was worse by a 1000 foldQuote

Hmm...what's worse, Taylor's version of "No Expectations" without the Stones, or the Stones live version of "Sway" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" without Taylor?

Taylor's No Expectations is the best. It's more honest; because Taylor doesn't "pretend to be trying"

clearly this IMO
Hmm...maybe. I think he attempted something cool and different with the phased guitar. Maybe not that well executed. But the Stones' execution of the two above-mentioned Sticky Fingers tunes was very pale as well, IMO.
I remember when they first tried Sway (I think you can find the old thread on here somewhere). Clearly the band didn't seem that enthusiastic playing it, and Wood never seemed to get a handle on the end solo (which is over two chords!). I saw them do it at the LA Forum later and it wasn't much better. Fun to hear live, but nothing to write home about. It definitely was for aficionados only.
I give them points for trying. It's a great song and lots of us wanted to hear it. Just wished they had actually taken it somewhat seriously. Oh well.

The '73 performance is a lovely, almost private moment. It is somber, unostentatious, Keith and Taylor playing music and not performing it. It has a delicious, voyeuristic feel. The audience is dead silent. We (I was there) are on the outside looking in.
