As far as I know, and anyone please coorect me if I'm wrong, Mick used the
same Les Paul that Keith used for Honky Tonk Women to play the slide bits on Love In Vain. The reason I say this is because there is a picture of Mick
playing a Bigsby equipped Les Paul which appears to be from the 1969 tour (though it could be 970) on page 86 of the now long out of print Rolling Stones, An Unauthorised Bioggraphy in Words, Photographs and Music" >

Evidence of the ol' glazzies. I found a pic of Mick playing slide on the Bigsby Les Paul dated 11/27/69 (photo by Jospeh Sia via Wolfgang's)


Smokey, I'm sorry for not responding earlier. My scanner has popped its clogs so I'll need to get another on before I can scan photos from the above mentioned book. As to the amps Mick used with Mayall I'll need to look that up!

I'm waiting patiently & eagerly, ChrisM. I thought you might be able to determine the amps from the various pix posted earlier.

Sorry Smokey. I can't see enough detail in any of the Mayall photos thus far posted to positively ID the amp he used. There is a pic that Ms ssssoul posted showing Mick with the SG with what appears to be Marshall rig behind him but like I said I'm certain. I'll see what I can turn up...

Smokey, I luv that signature pic! LoL.

Mick Taylor, Bruce Gary, Maggie Mayall, John Entwistle and John Mayall
(Viper Room, Hollywood, 1995)

Wow! This thread just keeps getting better and better!

It improves with age........just like Mayall.

Now then (now then)...... is there a boot to go with this pic?

Never mind the amateur poseurs....... it is vital that we hear this Mayall woman's vocals.

In Taylor's own words: he bought a '58 LP (more likely the '59 Bigsby), the '61 SG and a new Marshall 50 watt half stack at Selmers in Denmark Street when he joined Mayall in '67. That Marshall was new, so it was a '67 Plexi. He used this rig throughout the Mayall years. Joining the Stones he had touse Ampeg, and according to Taylor himself he never liked the Ampegs' sound.

Mathijs

Huh,

Carla Olson told me that Taylor commented one time while they were in the studio
about a Ampeg Amp they were about to use. She said Mick actually helped set it
up, commenting: I used to play with these (meaning his days with the Stones)
Carla said she told Mick not to lift it as it was on the heavy side, Taylor
just grabbed it, put it in it's place and plugged in!!!

Can't believe no one has mentioned anything about the scary resemblance of today's taylor and a little piggie. He plays some nice guitars, but wow! that boy is fat!

Mick with LP from 1968:

And apparently he has returned to the Telecaster:



November 2006

Smokey - He uses numerous guitars, had his Les Paul "loaded" when he shot off:

Time Waits For No One....

Hoping that guy (Mono) figures out how to use the: Hot Stuff link...

This Telecaster is owned by Erwin Nyhoff, and he has used it ever since he had succes with The Prodigal Sons (it's the Telecaster you can see on their Pinkpop gig). It is a no brand Telecaster, but it plays and sounds abolutely great. The neck was a bit too thin for my hands, bit it sounds great -real raunchy and agressive.

Mathijs

I can't remember seeing this before...is it Taylor's guitar Keith is playing?

Erik, that's the 59 LP that Keith sold (through Stu) to Mick T late in 1967. Keith got it in 1964.
it's the same guitar as in the 11/27/69 shot that ChrisM posted at the top of the page, isn't it?
and in Smokey's shot from 68.

who took the shot, do you know? looks like MSG?



Edited 5 time(s). Last edit at 2007-03-16 18:49 by with sssoul.

OK, thanks. So this means it's the same guitar he played with...for instance at the Around And Around clip from A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss ?
That's cool. Sorry, I don't have info about the credits, I would have written it if I knew.
Looks as MSG, that's true.

yeah, if i'm following this properly it's the same guitar - minus the pick guard, obviously -
but i'd rather hear someone who really knows what they're talking about confirm or correct that.

THanks with Sssoul!
It stayed with Keith for 5 years, it seems.

Wow Erik! That pic of Keith you posted is ultra cool! And yes Ms Sssoul it is the same guitar that you posted pics of and the smae guitar Mick Taylor purchased via Ian Stewart and which still belonged to Mick at the time of the pic Erik posted. Where did you find that one Eric? It's the first one I've seen of Keith playing that fabled guitar from the '69 tour.

Oh yea, thanks ChrisM, I feared it was new to me, only. I was really surprised.
Actually the picture is taken straight from a bootleg CD, that's why I don't know the name of the photographer.

whew - thanks for the confirmation, ChrisM -
i'm glad all the brilliant guitar lessons i've gotten from you kind generous connoisseurs haven't been in vain!
Keith's got that guitar Gimme Shelter (the movie), of course - but indeed this is a beautiful photo.

Regarding the 1989 HOF induction............I recall interviews with the Stones and Ronnie and they all stated that they wanted Mick Taylor to be there. IN addition, Ronnie said that he was asked by Jagger to track down Mick Taylor and make sure he was there for the Stones.

Could someone PLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE post a pic of Mick T with a Les Paul!!I know I've seen one somewhere........

Pleased to meet you......

Erik, thank you for sourcing the third KC picture and posting it in the KC thread. Will you ever disclose the backdoor through which you found it?

I was slightly joking Smokey....but you could have credited me for christsake..

Here is the picture, at last.

Is it a Danelectro? Perhaps one he borrowed off Ron Wood?
