starting in 1969, when Mick Taylor was with them for 5 years, including the tour when Ya-Yas was recorded, his first with the band. That album has audio from NYC and Baltimore in 1969.

This is video from Detroit 1969, and although I posted it less than a month ago at https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034141738 it's worth posting again here. Mick's solo starts at 5:55:

there is a full video of the Stones developing the song, Sympathy For Devil. Weird....they mix studio time with depressing negative social shit outside. Truly worth a watch, though....to see how a great piece of music gets baked. And they nailed it live....in studio.

I have a friend that sees them everything they come around. She says they are still great just slower. I wonder if they get tired of the repetition of it all for SO long.

I don't know I saw Chuck Berry when he was old and he just looked sweaty and tired. I wondered why he was still doing tours when he obviously looked like he thought it was a chore rather than fun.

Stones don't have the structural support to carry them past 2050.....music wise.


But they were so awesome in 1975. Like this. Whatta sound. Keith, slide guitar, they were on target.

Keith played both slide and acoustic guitar on the studio track, recorded in May of 1969 before Mick Taylor joined them in June. On Ya-Yas, recorded late that year,Keith is playing acoustic guitar while Mick plays slide on Love In Vain.
