In '72 most guitarists sounded very much alike. Taylor, Kossoff, Duane Allman, Wayne Perkins, Billy Gibbons, Ron Wood -they all had that Les Paul through hot Marshall or Ampeg stack sound, and all sounded very similar.
Taylor sounded like Taylor then because he was a shit hot player, which he clearly isn't anymore.

i don't find taylor's sound in 72/73 particularly unique. it's what music he plays that i find unique, not the sound he gets from his setup. i'm not as disappointed with him this year as you are - he sounds like mick taylor, but 40 years older, not like a fundamentally different and poorer guitarist.

The thread title refers to the SOUND, and Taylor could use that sound to get his touch back. He has to work much harder to keep both fluidity and tone with the more spikey sound he has today, imo.
That's right, but you also state that Ron's recent sound comes close to Taylor's sound in '73. I disagree on that. Ron makes a Les Paul sound like a Les Paul.
Taylor made a Les Paul sound like Taylor. These days both Ron and Taylor make a Les Paul sound like a Les Paul, regardless the adjustments. A complex world, isn't it?

True, but it doesn't help him that his sound is dry and clean...

The sound wasn't unique at all, but the phrasing was - in a way.
Taylor had elements of the blues, hard rock, Santana, as well as prog/fusion-stuff. Nothing sensational about that, but they way he bound all the styles together was pretty unique - especially the fluidity/being able to keep going for long runs with it, imo.
