QuoteEdward Twining Well Dandelion, i rather like Taylor's performance here, even if he isn't quite in tune at times, simply because he's still doing what the Stones collectively used to do so well when they were at their peak, and when they were still living up to their name as 'the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world'. There is a rawness and spontaneity

gosh yes. Of course. Please two or three numbers with Taylor. Or better yet the whole show.

Good review. I remember one in Playboy back then too.

Quotebuffalo7478 I do agree with Edward. Jimmy Miller in the studio and Taylor live definitely help the era. I have often wondered what the earlier stuff would have sounded like with a decent producer. The band may have been hot and raw and full of energy, but it didn't translate as well to vinyl. I also think Taylor's playing elevated Keith's. Yes. The Beatles had George M

I think the Golden Era is 68 to 78. The only clunker there is Love You Live.

I saw two shows. The opener at RFK and Ames, Iowa. The RFK show was the best Stones concert I've seen. Maybe the best live show period. Ames was pretty good too.

QuoteJamesPhelge00 Quotewith sssoul Since James Phelge has started posting here, I reckon he's got this "title" pretty well cornered. Maybe someone else does too, though? It may well be me unless there is someone else I may even know. Eric Clapton would also probably have been there too. Others I saw there were, Ginger Baker, Alexis, Graham Bond, Cyril. Paul Jones etc..

QuoteValeswood Quotejazzbass Wyman was nice for nostalgia but he didn't really add anything to the show. Who cares? It was great to see him re-united with the Stones. As an original member of the band he is unworthy of any criticism. This is the correct answer.

Maybe to them it was always Mick Taylor and his Rolling Stones? That's kind of funny and interesting, Justin. I didn't comment and still haven't watched the video, but I suppose this comment rings somewhat true to me because I was really into that particular lineup of the band, back in the day. When Taylor left it hurt and took a long time to get over it. Luckily they cam

I saw them play it in 89 at Alpine Valley north of Chicago. It was great. Really took me back. I didn't realize what I was listening to until the chorus because it had been so long since I'd listened to the song, but I knew I was listening to something off of Out of Our Heads. Then it was over in a flash and I forgot about it. The next day I vaguely remembered it and thought it was

QuoteEdward Twining Quotecarlorossi Quote71Tele Some great comments here. No doubt some people still prefer the safe Vegas-era Stones and are uncomfortable with Taylor's performance. Does he overplay at times? Yes. Is he a bit ragged in places? Yes. Was he nervous? Possibly. Did he want to make a statement? Definitely! Agree with your take, sort of. MR was one of the few songs that they&#
Forum: Tell Me

The only caveat is that Taylor's amp won't be plugged to the PA system, so he's going to have to turn up to 11.
Forum: Tell Me

At the time it came out, it was a let down to me, maybe because it didn't have a real good rocker or two and because I was the missing Mick Taylor sound. But I've come to appreciate it. I can put it on now and enjoy the groove all the way through. One of the best moments of my life was hearing them play Memory Motel on the Voodoo Lounge tour.

Quote71Tele QuoteMarkdog I'll take the Love You Live version as my number 1. Yes loose and ragged, Mick voice was almost gone but the guitars and energy make up for all of it. Ronnie's guitar is the best anyone played overtop that JJF rhythmn. Wrong. LYL was flaccid compared to GYYO and the version in Gimme Shelter is even better than that because it has that weird lick Taylor playe

Quotedonvis Taylor and Wyman would be great. But there is nothing worse than so called special guests especially the likes of Dave Matthews! I remember in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom where BONO (I pronounce it as in Sonny Bono) absolutely ruined It's Only Rock 'N Roll with his tirades of "Sir MicK! Sir Mick!" and changing the lyrics to "going to Chicago" instead o

I don't give a darn about Keith's drinking, but why are they rehearsing the same old setlist? Toss out all those songs and play other stuff, like Gotta Getaway.
