"Other Foxy Lady"
"Let Me Stand Next To Your Campfire"
"Wind Cries Micky T"
Ahhhahaha... the first IORR LOL of the day is always the best.
"other Foxy Lady"... LOL! sing it... and try not to chuckle
That was a good one too, shoulda been on my list...from the LP "If 2013 Was 1969 Was 9"
Make up your mind, please.
Taylor and the Taylorites should thank their lucky stars that the Stones got the fat overfed dog off the porch and threw him a couple bones...

You Can't Always Get What You Want - Paris 76 (Side 2).
Like @#$%& he was.
Isn't Black Limo Keith? At least the first solo is on the LSTNT film (Pheonix 81) and it's one of his best ever.
Ronnie's also wicked on Neighbors live in the same film. And Undercover of the Night and Too Tough are pretty cool!
Too Tough 1:55
Who plays the solo on Anybody Seen My Baby? I like it.
Talk about your favorite band.

Hmm... rather hard question. Usually I don't listen the old bootlegs with that ear, not even Taylor ones, but with the latter one some solos just sound so distinctive that they tend to stand out. With Ronnie it is different, since his solos are like what one could describe with the term "fitting". I'm with Mathijs's list that the most distinguished ones are from 1975 tour when Wood was filling Taylor's shoes with his own take. There sre some surprisingly strong ones. But as the "weaving" era started properly, the nature of his solos changed, and more and more "suitable" they turned out to be. Somehow the idea of finding their "greatest" does not sound appropriate to me. Never listen that 1978/82 era with that ear. If I should find the best one it would be some relatively short, a'la "Miss You" and "Beast of Burden" where Wood's tone is unmistakenly original. But out of memory I can't say where and when - I don't do notes, and those things don't stick to my mind.
Personally wittnessed my highlight live was "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" in Glasgow 2003 (can't recall the date or show number any longer). Simply stunning - both fitting and distinctive.
Of records, I think there is some great stuff in UNDERCOVER, such as "Too Tough". But that's very random. Wood's slide guitar soloing is generally tasty and very "fitting", but can't think any real highlights.
Too hard issue for me!

What, no love for his playing with Faces and on the early Rod Stewart albums? THAT'S the Ron Wood that will be cherished and remembered long after he shuffles off to the bar band invisible. Consider the following:
Stay with Me
Flying
Every Picture Tells a Story
I Would Rather Go Blind
Wicked Messenger
Borstal Boys

Didn't he do a classic called 'Noodling Around?' But with firm guidance from the Glimmers, he might yet shine some more, admit it, you would love it...What about Bobby Keys...his part seems to have dwindled somewhat, is he still part of the band?

Exactly what? If you intend to rewrite history and counter the facts that even the RS website is glad to call their greatest era go ahead. Taylor in an artistic sense died when he left the Stones. He could not manage the drugs and fame. People like Keith, Jerry Garcia, Gregg Allman, Rick Danko, were superhumans when it came to partying, many musicians, roadies and hangers on died trying to keep up but it is near impossible. Taylor was damaged forever by this lifestyle. It's beautiful to see him healthy and alive in 2013.Quote

Brown Sugar from Love You live which I think was a Paris 76 gig has to be one of my top RW solo's. More that just the solo but the playing throughout. His riff/licks overtop of Keith's rythmn is spectacular. It's all feel and rock n roll power. In fact no one has done it better IMO. The song is sloppy overall but that doesn't take away from RW firing on all cylinders.
Seriously give it a listen and tell me I'm wrong?!

Exactly what? When did I ever say I was trying to rewrite sh*t? Although Taylor attempted to play and collaborate with some world class musicians after quitting the Stones it never seemed to really pan out. Taylor is NOTHING with out the Stones. I was simply commenting on Max'sKansasCity brilliant post.Quote

I suggest to those who are unable to understand this thread (like many other threads here) and write down what it says but are instead arguing endlessly about things that are matter of taste although it is done on very intellactual level, they should not everytime they drop they´r marvelous witticism also post the whole conversation with they´re clever humorists buddies wich are often understandingly quite long. Plus we all know that his majesty Mr. Taylor is so good that it´s unfair to name him in the same sentence as this band he is doing all what he can to save for the second time. It´s a shame that Taylors´s kindness steals valuable time from him he would otherwise be using in a his remarkably creative and artful way that he has been on since 1974 and maby peaked with his outstanding solo record from 1979 wich starts with great song called Leather Jackets that Richards and Jagger tryed to nick from him without a great result.

Taylor's lack of success outside the Stones is completely irrelevant to what he has done in the Stones, and it amazes me that people somehow continue to try to diminish what he has done in the group by talking about the weakness of his solo career. Makes absolutely no sense. I'm a Stones fan. I don't care about Taylor's solo career and don't judge his work in the Stones based on it anymore than I judge Mick Jagger's performance on this tour by what I think of "Godess In The Doorway".

Good post Tele, everything is relevant in it's time frame - it's what happened at that moment in time. Ronnie Solo ? ok - Sway at Glasgow 2006 was great - he was carrying Keith that night - Say what you will about MJ but he was the ultimate showman also that night and covered a few cracks.

Isn't Black Limo Keith? At least the first solo is on the LSTNT film (Pheonix 81) and it's one of his best ever.
Ronnie's also wicked on Neighbors live in the same film. And Undercover of the Night and Too Tough are pretty cool!
