Indeed. Mick Taylors' solo is medicine to me.

I have credited this before, but he has passed away and I feel obligated: This was recorded by Paul Grady who recorded many, many Taylor/Bluesbreakers, etc. shows in the Bay area. There was no bigger MT fan. He was in heaven recording this Sway, but in a moment of paranoia he looked down and to his horror saw the "pause" button was on, hence the clipped beginning. A taper's nightmare. He once set his recorder on the stage at MT's feet in a club. Taylor looked down, perhaps to search for a pedal, saw instead the recorder, shook his head, but let it go.

Aha, it's you. And LuxuryStones, that was me, long time ago. And the medicine still works.

Mick drags the count a bit.

Highwire starts on the 3.

Sway...could only be Sway with MT...genius

Looking back a few pages, live, well, Keith's comments about Mick's electric guitar playing - the reason why the album version is so good because it's not Keith playing on it.

Mick's timing is different than Keith's.

Anyone not knowing would (could) easily assume it's Keith, though.

The album version of Sway is supreme, clearly, than any slaughtering live attempt ever, regardless of Mick Taylor or Ronnie Wood. It's Keith that couldn't deliver.

Then again, it's a song only the 1971 Rolling Stones could do and the BIGGER BANG Rolling Stones, just as with She Was Hot, couldn't deliver. Kudos to playing it, nice nod, but something else would've most likely been better.

Although with the 2005-07 Stones it's unlikely.

100% agreed with this...

Amazing track Taylor solo.
A real masterpiece.
Live version with Ronnie : embarassing.
