What has become of music? These guys could do this while strung out.
No one could do it now - sober, w/ an athletic trainer, voice coach, guitar filters, auto tune, and on and on.
Definitely one of the Stone’s best.
Yep. Excellent version. Stoic, perfect, soulful Mick Taylor. Jagger is great, if a little glittery, and Richards... just listen to how the bank picks up when he jumps in. Yes, it— life, music, everything— was better ‘back then’. By far.
Mick Taylor was a huge difference maker. Keith was quoted as saying “I heard we we’re getting a guitarist. I didn’t know he was an “effing” virtuoso.”
IIRC Keith wanted Steve Marriott. but Mick said no, because he knew Marriott would blow him off the stage.
Mick Taylor was capable of blowing anyone off the stage. I think Mick T was getting off the drugs and the road, while Mick and Keith weren’t, so he just quit. Or was fired. Either way Mick T didn’t fit in after awhile.
Mick J pretty much had cleaned up his act by the late 70s, I don’t even think he was that big of a druggie even before that.
For sure. But Mick T left in 74 or 75 I think. Ronnie should have stayed with Rod Stewart and Mick T should have stayed w/ the Stones in a perfect world.
“Ronnie should have stayed with Rod Stewart and Mick T should have stayed w/ the Stones in a perfect world.”

Agreed. Wood has been OK with the Stones, but they missed an opportunity to bring themselves to another level.
Joe Walsh with the Stones would have been interesting. Or him with Aerosmith. I’m not much of a Joe Perry fan.
How about Bob Welch w/ the Stones?
Had this and Dear Doctor played at our wedding by a blues band. I played harmonica on Dear Doctor...Good Times were felt by all....

IMHO, he’s too pop. Not a good fit there.
Maybe Clapton with the Stones.
It’s one of our family and friends go-tos everyone knows the chords, changes and harmony. Guitars, mandolins, fiddle.

It’s been done.
Hot Stuff.
Dead flowers is a good song, but my favorite Stones song is get off of my cloud, later changed to get off of my lawn as they got older. Still rocking in their ‘80s, pretty amazing!

Mick’s still kicking. Jerry was diabetic along with other issues. ‘His wife said he died with a smile on his face.’
