The LA CYHMK-solo was perhaps even more impressive than the Glastonbury one (which has a superior sound quality of course):
Done, thanks Kleerie.
That Chicago Sway's a brilliant one too, actually. 3.09-3.19 is as close to the sound of the Stones in '73 as we can now hope to get. It reminds me of the Wembley version of You Can't Always Get What You Want from that tour - Taylor rediscovers that same amazing fluency for a few seconds.

Yes indeed Blouse, an historical Stones moment and a new Taylor act at the same time. Still sounds good:
I'd go one further and say it is his best - and probably the best guitar solo I've ever heard from anyone. It's a pinnacle of technique, emotion, spontaneity and lyricism. I have it on my iPod (thanks to your YouTube upload, of course!). I don't listen to it too much because, as with all the music I really love - Sticky Fingers, Blonde on Blonde, Albert King's golden years - I don't want to get tired of it.

Not to annoy you Stoneburst, but I have this video too, with somewhat better sound quality. I hope you'll enjoy it:
I have a question - I know you have the audio of Taylor's Shine A Light solo from Jimmy Fallon, but do you have the video footage as well?
That was CYHMN isn't it? I actually liked that band and Mick's performance better than all he did with the recent Stones.
I have both on video, the SAL-solo ánd that Knocking rendition in a very fast tempo.

Ha, I thought you would! Good to know the footage is out there - hopefully we'll be able to see it again sometime.

Ah, I see, OK. But make sure you inform the Stones. Otherwise there could be royalties issues.
Yes I know that Kleer, thanks again.

It's long gone from YouTube but if you can find it elsewhere, the Glastonbury CYHMK is a good contender. I generally find it hard to get into his Rambler solos because as great a blues player as he is, it's just not that much of a showcase for what he can really do (which is, of course, one of the reasons they've had him playing on it).
All his Sway solos have been pretty decent but this - the first one, in Los Angeles - is particularly excellent, IMO. Taylor still has the best bending vibrato in the business, bar none.

Ditto on the above but I remain somewhat partial to his crazy playing on the opening night of the 50th Tour at 02/1...it was just unreal to have him standing there 10 feet away! Keith was digging it too :

Yes I do, but if I recall well it was blocked by YT because of the well known reason. A nice video where you can see him play this grand solo.

Ha, I thought you would! Good to know the footage is out there - hopefully we'll be able to see it again sometime. I remember watching that Shine A Light clip and being amazed - he probably hadn't played that song since 1972, yet he sits in with a studio band and his solo's better than the one he played on the studio cut.

Who said he has "rejoined"? He has been billed on this 50th etc. tour as a "special guest", which won't be permanent.
Bill Wyman "rejoined" for a couple of shows in 2012, but then soon requit. Or releft. Or something.

The jury has to be out until a recording of Love In Vain from the California club show surfaces. I'm tempted by some of these Sway solos, but the band just butchers the feel of Sway every time they've played it: rhythm guitars, drums, vocals, the intro/turnaround. You'd think they could just learn the Sticky Fingers version the way they used to learn those dozens of blues covers, by playing along with the record endlessly, but no. Really puzzling.
For now, I think I'm going to have to go with 5/20(?) CYHMK because you can feel this amazing roar circle the arena during its height; perhaps the last time a musical highlight, as opposed to a show/jagger/staging highlight, just makes everybody in the audience shout out without knowing why. The guitar notes made everyone high.

Yeah, but this is probably the last tour and they can't really turn around now. They unleashed a monster. They are just lucky they aren't really expected to tour after this or else it would be a huge step down to not have Taylor there. For all intents and purposes, he's rejoined.Quote

This was an interesting one.. Perhaps Taylor got bored, but at any rate, it seemed to have inspired the rest of the band to turn it up a notch...
And, of course, he breathed a few seconds of life into Satisfaction in San Jose...

kleermaker - I know that I sometimes differ with your comments about Taylor the London solo is brilliant and just flows so perfectly on YCAGWYW. I won't go so far as saying its the best solo I've heard from anyone but it is possibly the best solo in the Stones cannon.
