It was my first Stones concert and certainly a memorable one! I swear I saw MT Walk on after Whip and before Lstnt. AND I remember a KC Dj on KY102 mention that afternoon MT was in town and wouldn't it be cool IF he played on stage that night!! IT WAS SERIOUSLY COOLQuote
OutOfTimeWow! Great ohcarol!! Do you remember how long Mick Taylor was on stage? I listened some of the soundboard recording today and heard a MT solo on Black Limousine. Also there is a picture of Keith, MT and MJagger (jumping wide legged in front of MT) with all the balloons on the floor indicating MT was on Satisfaction (the last song of the show also in 1981)Quote

I was there as was Dr.Pete! Cold night great show! I followed the band back to the Westin Crown Center hotel!
This show is the missing link between The Mick Taylor Years (69-74) and the 50 and Counting Tour !!!
There's NO way he played the whole show. I'd believe it if he came out at even the second or third song, although my guess would be it was like 4 or 5 songs in after the Stones got the place moving already. But there's no way he played the whole show and came out with the band at the very start. He wasn't part of the band, and that just wouldn't happen. There were less people than there were on stage then than there are now. The people that came out during the first song were The "current" Rolling Stones at the time.Quote

I seem to remember an interview with Taylor many years ago which was reproduced in a fan magazine (I think it may have been IORR) in which Mick corrected the interviewer who mentioned about him playing a few songs with the Stones in Kansas City by insisting "I played on the whole show".

What I like most about all the stories is that he played too loud.

I remember one later interview where he didn't talk very nicely about that gig. Like he wasn't feeling good there and glad when it was over.Didn't really make much sense to me.

This is how the 50 and counting Taylor slots should have been handled, not the too obvious and wanky solo features. Different times and abilities, but still.

So actually you do like the 'Frankenstein era', if you don't mind me using that term. Sometimes you inspire me, you know.

What ever shite was or wasn't going on with regards to volumes and egos, the sonic carpet of guitars weaving in, out and around each other throws up lots of ace little interactions.

I probably have not spent enough time on this recording. My patience lapses while I try to shift out what Taylor is playing. But the BoB performance interests me. It is from 48:46 to 55:40. It gets interesting around 51 - 52:00. Can the expert ears here tell who plays the solos around 51:00? Thereafter Taylor starts a rhythm ditty that stops Jagger in his tracks. His stage awareness is amazing. He starts to say something, hears Taylor's little variation on the theme and says go ahead. In the next minute or so the song gets funky while the guitars play around Taylor's little variations. It's the high point of interest for me in this show.
Sounds like Taylor to my ears. Too fluent for Ronnie and certainly for Keith.
Sounds like Taylor to me too. I ask because I am surprised that 1) he was allowed to get that solo in; and 2) that it fits so nicely on a song he has never played before. Remarkable.
I have a daydream question that I ponder: Would there have been a Some Girls album with Taylor? From this performance of BoB I would say yes. Just different and interesting.

He missed the slow days with RTJ, JJF, ADTL, BS and MR?

Sounds like Ronnie to me. Those hammer-ons sound like his work with The Faces.

Keith is particularly ace on guitar during this time, he has definitely continued to develop as a player way past the "golden era", not a fan of some of the tones though.

Those songs weren't played "fast and furious" during Taylor's days at all the way they were in 81/82: ragged and rushed. Besides they played all songs that way, so that it seemed as if it was all one and the same 'song'. I heard it myself. Very boring.
