....I think IMHO - Sympathay for the Devil 1969 !!

One of the greatestest solos EVER!!!!

1. Sympathy New York (Nov 28th 1st - Y Ya's)
2. Street Fighting Man 1969 (New York 2ND - Ya Ya's)
3. Angie (Brussles - 1st)


I know I'm beating up old posts but after listening to some of Taylor's stuff....it has to be done!

Esky

Oy Esky you bastard! How are you? Good choices on yer part but hmmmm, what to choose, what to choose?

OK then!
1) Brown Sugar, 1st Brussels
2) Stop Breaking Down, Exile
3) Love in Vain, Ya-Yas

But this list is like ly to change within the hour. Say to hi to Kyle ya bugger!

With all due respect to his work in the band - MT's best solo is on his live 1990 collaboration with Carla Olson on Sway. Period.

only 3 T&A with that Stones....thanks for the post!

Impossible but doable:

GS - Philadelphia '72
YCAGWYW - Brussels '73
I'm Free - Oakland & San Diego '69

"Music is the frozen tapioca in the ice chest of history."

"Shit!... No shit, awright!"

good work Greg - yes I like it!!! But you have to leave out some - that sucks....

As for Chris - read mail you dirty Arnie-lover...(who isn't!)

Any extended solo with the Stones so hard to pick.

One of his greatest solos ever is with Alvin Lee from Nov 1981 on a song
called I Cant Stop his solo just catches your ear and glistens.

With Mayall - 1982 tour
On Jammin with the Blues greats all his solos

So many out there his body of solo work live and in the studio clearly make
him the british guitar god

I don't have as many boots as most of you folks do, so I'll just mention one..

The second solo on Love In Vain on Ladies and Gentlemen. Smokes it!

'Don’t forget, if you’re on your bike, wear white'

OpenG - read the f*king post!!!
Yes I could have said "Mick Taylor with Carla Olsen" etc... but please, keep to 3 STONES SONGS ONLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S. Thanks for replying, now post your top 3 you b*astard!!! ))

Sway

There are rules to this?

Esky you pissed newt! Check yer mail as well! Here's 3 more...

4. Sway
5. Sympathy for the Devil- Ya-Yas (Yer right Esky, a good one!)
6. Moolight Mile (A very understated solo and sublimely beautiful)

Yes rules are : T&A - 3 songs you dirty bastard...

Potted Shrimp - I want 3 not 1 !!!!!

OpenG - read the f*king post!!!
Yes I could have said "Mick Taylor with Carla Olsen" etc... but please, keep to 3 STONES SONGS ONLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've read your post, but it doesn't say STONES SONGS ONLY

Of course I'm kidding!

Taylor's best solos all belong to the stones era, anyway!

My selection (only studio recordings - It would be impossible to remember all the live ones)

1. 100 years ago 2. Heartbreaker-tie-CYHMK 3. casino boogie

C

ESKY - since your post states - (3) Best Taylor solos!!! so.....

#1 - Gimme Shelter - Wembley 1973! Grestest Version ever!! - Per WIMMX

#2 - his solo at the end of the Old Grey Whistle test -1975 with the Jack Bruce
band!! (Smiles & Grins) - have to listen to that a few times a month, his interplay with Bruce's bass runs are so excellent!!!!! and his "finger pickin" in spots is incredible! too bad the stupid camera man stays focused on J.Bruce while Taylor is soaring!!

#3 - Sway - according to Taylor, he jammed on this song for a while, wonder
if the "original" full length recording is still in a vault somewhere or did it
vanish on the cutting room floor??? - MLC

OK - I've had enough of the crap - MICK TAYLOR'S BEST STONES SOLOS BETWEEN 1969-1973.........@#$%& THAT WAS TOUGH!




I like it liddas.....

wow we have rules here so we cant be spontaneous.music is freeflowing and so
is someones ideas.

Should we change the tread and say RON WOODS 1,2,3 can you play three notes

just kidding

Open G - got the CD's yesterday and listened on the way to work - Liked the
different versions of Gimme Shelter and the up-tempo Midnight Rambler!!!
god were they kicking-ass in those days!!!! MLC

Sway
Travellin'Man
Stop Breaking Down

I should demure on this - objecting to the rules portion of the debate....but, alas, I give in:

1) Stop Breakin' Down (if his solo don't raise the hairs on the back of yer neck, you must be dead)

2) Winter (sweet, sweet, sweet)

3) CYHMK (a no-brainer - just ask RW - who's still trying to figure it out)

...and, of course, the best solo's are to be found on the boots - just about any version of Love in Vain or YCAGWYW from 69-73 would far surpass the above picks.

Gimme Shelter, wembley arena 1973
Heartbreaker, Brussel 1973
Sway

mmmm....Winter is a great effort!

But I could only choose 3 only.

1) Staisfaction MSG '69
2) Love in Vain MSG '72
3) Gimmie Shelter Philly 72

I think Heartbreaker was not played at Brussels. Usually, the Brussels tapes have the 9/9/73 London show from the KBFH broadcasts.

Love in Vain from Philly 72
YCAGWYW from Brussels 73
Sway

All those already mentioned are my favourites but a less obvious one is Dead Flowers live at the Marquee. I'm not just talking about the solo during the guitar break but also his work during the rest of the song particuarly the choruses .

sftd '69 anywhere
dead flowers leeds

Smokey:

Well, I'm not 100% sure, on my Brussel 73 boot (Brussel Affairs) I think (or thought) Street Fighting Man was the only song not recorded in Brussel.
But maybe you're right.

there kicking ass know too,

I think I've told this story before.
At a Toronto show in the early 1990's
MT was meeting with fans, signing autographs,
he was handed a copy of Bedsprings Symphony, held it
up and said that this was his finest work!
