Who saw Taylor smoking a cigarette and tossing it just before the solo section??? He looks a bit nervous, he's waited 40 years for that moment and succeeded.

"Can't You hear Me Knocking?" made me speechless yesterday, and I don't know if I can do any better now. Sometimes some things just hit so hard, that any attempt to "analysis" seems inappropriate. I talked something about it - or reflected it to band's over-all dynamics in Taylor's sticky thread - but that had nothing to do with the impact the performance in that little (technically) crappy clip had on me.
It was a musical sex exercise. And this time first time for ages - it was not Mick Jagger responsible for it. No, Mick was just another band member warming up the band and us to the real action. The whole first section of the song - the real song - was just a foreplay to get us and them into it. To get horny. Yeah, the band was sloppy but still having more balls in their sound than in its earlier takes a decade ago. Keith hitted the riff chords simply and roughly, and the "boys" little beefing it. Jagger sounded like an amateur sometimes, running out of any ideas finally, and just somehow delivering the last lines before letting the band free. Haven't seen Jagger so "out of it" for ages. Perhaps he was so anxious than all of us to hear what Lil' Mick do. Maybe he was a nervous as well. He's human, after all.
Well... then... finally.... Mick Taylor, with a great assistance of Bobby Keys, gave to him, to them. and to us, such a sex act... no, that's too rude word... it was pure making love, damn kama sutra in guitar. The last moments, when finally getting to the outro - which asked patience from forever eager Jagger - was such an orgastic musical explotion I haven't seen for ages or ever. That determination in Taylor's face and sound - and the whole band just in total awe of him, staring at him - perhaps not even really understanding what is happening now - the band totally taken over by that guitar, and them just... lovingly following that guidance until the happy end.
And I thought I've seen it all.... Never mind the mistakes, sloppiness. who did and what, etc. Music just cannot be better for me. This is it.

Jagger skipped the last line to give the cue to the band to where MT should start his solo.

How do we know that this Mick Taylor is not a body double like Ringo was in the Beatles?

Don't say that about Mick Taylor...he's been losing weight and I think is looking quite svelte!

If we're actually going to move forward on this proposal, and I think we should, I vote we pick a country for each day, and a unique word from that country.
Case in point, svelte. Come on, that can't be an English word. Swedish maybe?
So, not only introduce new words but also what country it's from (and a map reference), how it's derived, famous people that have used the word, and to keep the thread on topic, either who in the Stones has used the word, or, if none have, who it would best suit.
As an international website welcoming people the world over, it's the least we can do.

your proposal is rejected....on the grounds that we always do less than the least we can do...

Doxa - Your turning me on with your commentary.....
I had the similiar feelings watching this, after seeing Taylor play this song so many times with his "bands" and to finally see it with the Stones brought a tear to my eye!!!

I can't stop watching this...and it's not just Taylor. It's the Stones surprising themselves and bringing things (and us) to new heights. Pure joy.

When I get home tonight, I'm going to hook my computer up to my large screen TV and watch this until my wife comes in the room and says, "Bluzdude, how many times can you sit there and watch this?"
Charlie was great on this too!
