Bremen from what year, '73? What if all these brilliant live versions could be remastered with today's technology ( same as LA Friday, vast improvement on that one). In the early 70's the Stones were young/ were on fire/and had the great Mick Taylor on board, also these songs were relatively new like fresh out of the oven and not suffering from being overplayed like today, my biggest Stones regret was not seeing them on the 9th Sept '73 I had just arrived in London with no lodgings and very little money two days previous had to wait till '76 ( 3 nights in a row Earl's Court and then Knebworth but alas Mick Taylor was gone😳, met him in his dressing room after his Dublin gig 2001 and got all his bands autographs🎸🕺👍

I think Keith Richards and Mick Taylor together were the best rock guitar team of all time. Better than Clapton or Paige by themselves. There is a genius to Richards that cannot be denied. His ability to come up with signature riffs for every song they recorded is amazing, but Mick Taylor on lead guitar gave the band the technical chops to rival Led Zeppelin on anyone else on the rock scene at that time. The Stones were "the greatest rock and roll band in the world" during those years.

Take it from this 78 year old, this version rocks.

Rory Gallagher was asked to join the Stones and went to London to rehearse with them for a few sessions. He decided that he preferred being a solo artist and I think that was the right decision. Mick Taylor was a better fit, and this recording confirms it (along with many others). Rory Gallagher continued his own career on his own terms and I also had the opportunity to see him at a very small club in Philadelphia in the late 70s. He, like the Stones, was unforgettable.

After Mick Taylor left, they settled into a comfortable second career as their own tribute band.

Jagger and Richards are icons. Tailor is a Genius!!!

Not the same without Mick Taylor’s slide and great leads… With him this band morphed into a powerful hard edged rock band…

I like albums like Sticky Fingers , but also the early stuff , and Black and Blue .

I totally agreed This version is incredible I thought that they were going to burn the house down with this Alright baby Come on

Incredible, the greatest band ever

I was a rookie cop in Philly and assigned a traffic post for this concert. I thought the traffic signal was doin' a pretty good job, so I decided to use that uniform the way we were taught in those days... walked in thru the Spectrum doors with a few nods and saw the whole concert.

Haha. Somebody tell Keith. Not all cops were trying to cuff him in the 70s 😀

Agreed..but they also occupy somewhat different places. MT more lead...RW more mix of lead and rhythm

I thought the Rolling Stones were a disco band until I heard this, turns out with the help of this Taylor fellow, they ROCK!

Haha they most certainly do

Mick Taylor always passes the ear test. It’s definitely some next level shit! 🎸

Mick Taylor as fantastic in this video. Best guitarist ever.

Like I always say. Best stones. The Mick Taylor years. No question

I agree...I was given a bootleg CD of this, and I would play this cut over and over and over again in my car; just grooving on Keith's sawing rhythm guitar, Mick Taylor's soaring, luminous lead, and Mick's scorching vocals. It's a raggedy mess, but just so full of raw Stones' power at their concert-playing peak...

You darn right, listen to that guitar man. Maximum love and respect to Mick Taylor, the wee Soul. ❤😂🏝🏖🏡JRSC

When I first heard this on a the bootleg lol ‘Mick Taylor We Miss You’ back in the 70’s I was blown away. Still am. I believe their greatest live performance ever along with Sympathy For The Devil from Ya Ya’s album.

Bingo

I was at this show at the Spectrum My High School years The Spectrum is gone but the Stones are still rocking

Mick Taylor put the band in another stratosphere.Just listen to his playing,its absolutely incredible.Its hard to believe the band kept up with him.Once again proving The Stones are way more then just a band,theyre the bar that bands try to achieve.For me i still get the same feelings that i got when i 1st heard them at 9yrs old.Amazing!!!

it is so sad the music today compared to back in the late 60s early 70s I am grateful to have lived through that time ..

I am of the age when the Stones were truly the greatest rock band in the world. In 1972 no other band could come close to their greatness. I was a witness to this.

A much underrated quality in Taylor's playing. But he could be as dirty and nasty as hell when he was up for it. There just seemed to be more darkness in his playing than Brian and Keith could manage.

it's funny because people only credit him as playing "melodic" but they never mention that he kicked harder ass on the guitar than anyone in the band EVER

Most people who think they're Stones fans don't even know who Mick Taylor was, and he was the BEST guitarist they ever had. He was up there with Clapton, in my opinion.

Yep, Mick Taylor’s on fire here

This was not only a band and its music. This was Mick and Keith and rock in all facts, bahavior, fashion, design. There was no one else in sight and then this brilliant Mick taylor and this rhythm section that managed to play in timing behind the rhythm guitar without the whole thing falling apart..wow

You are 100% right. But sadly, Mick Taylor could never show his brilliance without the Stones. The Stones pushed him to the zenith. None of his solo records had the quality of a Stones album at all. He is a brilliant guitar player, but no maker.

Completely agree with you, ROLLOGUITAR. This version shows the rough power of their early 70's music. It's so genuine, exuberant, rich of raw sounds. And, oh... Mick Taylor's guitar just adds a bonus here! Thank you for posting.
