The NY Times had a small blurb on it today, but for the picture of Mick Taylor they used one of Mark Knopfler!

No Way! Better than using a picture of Meatloaf though!

he will not show up

Shall we expect Mick's set to be about 60 or 90 minutes in length? Would the 10pm show be longer than the 8pm?

Nicky probably played the best stuff that suited the Stones the most, yes, but I believe Billy Preston was more skilled. Not that it matters much...

Nicky played Mozart, Billy didn't, so I go for Nicky.

Preston plays Bach at one of the '73 shows opening for the Stones.
Does playing Mozart make one more talented than playing Bach?
Both Preston and Hopkins were exceptional. Hopkins had the virtue
of not playing the synth for the Stones, as far as I recall.

By the way, has Lightnin' confirmed the Iridium shows yet?

Everybody can play Bach.

Btw: Which show? Source? Of course not bootlegged or recorded?

Nice guitar playing from Mick. I have seen him live a couple of times and at each show Taylor seemed to get frustrated with his band members (as on this video). I don't get that. Why does he not wait until the band is back stage and then bitch. I don't think it's cool to do that on stage when the audience is watching.

Yeah, a pro like Taylor shouldn´t give band members the look...

Might be because they didn´t quite know this special ending, though.

Quite ridiculous considering the many Taylor flubs and bad singing during his gigs. Maybe they should shake their heads etc everytime he makes a mistake.

Toward the end he turns around and shakes his head - obviously at something someone in the band has (or hasn't) done. He put a different turnaround at the end of the tune and I think they didn't follow him.

Finally... a good formation with Mick Taylor.

* Bernard Purdie (drums) played with James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Larry Coryell, Hall & Oates, Galt MacDermot, Miles Davis and many more.

* Max Middleton (keys) played with Jeff Beck and Mick Taylor for a while.

* Wilbur Bascomb (bass) played with Jeff Beck during his JazzRock days. Good albums!

I take it you never saw Albert King, Ike Turner or someone I know live? Man, I've seen some people get chewed out to no end.

Purdie played with Bascombe and Middleton on the acclaimed "Blow by Blow" tour. Not to slight MT's regular lineup, but this is one stellar combo.

nterview: Former Rolling Stones Guitarist Mick Taylor Discusses Gear, Bluesbreakers, Iridium and The Stones
[www.guitarworld.com]

About two years ago, you finished up an old Rolling Stones song, “Plundered My Soul,” for the 2010 deluxe reissue of Exile on Main St. Was that a bizarre experience for you?

Yeah, it was one of Mick’s songs. It was among the outtakes that had to be finished. Actually, some of them were finished. But this particular song didn’t have a vocal on it and it didn’t have any lead guitar. It just had Keith Richards, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts playing on it. So he asked me to step into the studio one afternoon, and I did some guitar in about three or four passes. I thought it turned out well.
It’s not typical of Exile On Main St. -- it’s just that it was recorded during that period. It’s got backup vocals and things on it that were done a couple of years ago. The original track is just sort of Keith’s rhythm guitar, Bill Wyman’s bass playing and Charlie Watts’ drumming, and it’s very raw. But yes, that was the last song I played with Mick. I’ve actually played with all those guys, including Bill Wyman and also Ronnie Wood, most recently. But I did a few shows with Bill and some tracks on a couple of his albums.

Is there a Rolling Stones song you’re most proud of or that you feel best represents you?

Well, first of all, I like a lot of Stones songs – I like “Jumping Jack Flash” and “Street Fighting Man,” all for different reasons. But as far as the ones I played on, I like “Sway” -- and “Moonlight Mile” because I sort of had a hand in co-writing that, in a way. Or at least I wrote the riff the string part is based on.
But my favorite one in terms of my own guitar playing is “Time Waits for No One” [from It's Only Rock 'n' Roll]. I love that solo. I think it’s probably the best thing I did with the Stones. It’s not one of their hits; it was an album track. But it’s quite lyrical and it’s a bit different from a lot of other Stones songs. I’d done something that I’d never done. Because of the structure of the song, it pushed my guitar playing in a slightly different direction.
It’s more – I don’t like to use the term Carlos Santana-esque because it sounds too pretentious, but I kind of played in a different mode. I was playing over a Cmaj7 to an Fmaj7, which aren’t chords the Stones used that much. You know, they had their rock and roll songs and they had their ballads as well, and they were very different. And most of the ballads were usually written by me.

Huh?

LOL! If there was a chance for a comeback for Taylor, it sure goes down the drain with that daring statement.

I wonder if he actually said this. I strongly doubt it.

Angie, Wild Horses, Coming Down Again, YCAGWYW, Winter, TWFNO, Till The Next Goodbye, Moonlight Mile, I Got The Blues, Sweet Black Angel, Let It Loose, Shine A Light...

Which ones did Taylor write?

MT has a dry sense of humour, he probably said it in jest but that doesn't really show on paper, does it.

...Taylor is right about Time Waits For No One.....has to be one of their most beautiful tracks if not the most beautiful.

LOL... No! There's definitely something lost, arranged improperly in the transcript. I simply don't believe Taylor said that in the context we're reading it.
