The Mick Taylor era of the Rolling Stones was so good

Sympathy For the Devil
One of the best live songs ever ! The guitar work is great, and the whole band is locked into a tight groove. The guitar solo is so raw and spontaneous on this song.

Every era of the RS were good.
I prefer Brian Jones, but yea Mick Taylor was pretty awesome.
Little know fact, it wasn't Ron Wood that laid down the track for Waiting on a Friend. It was Mick Taylor. They used his original licks from an old 72 recording rather than use Wood for some reason.

They were sooooooo good at this point.
But you're right, every era for them was good.

Totally agree
He was on Let It Bleed (1969), Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! (1970), Sticky Fingers (1971), Exile on Main St. (1972), Goats Head Soup (1973) It's Only Rock 'n Roll (1974), and Tattoo You (1981).
What an incredible run

Bobby Keys was prevalent during the time Taylor was a member which gave them a different sound/dimension as well.

Yea, I found it interesting that Taylor played on Waiting on a Friend on Tattoo You.
Great song BTW.

If I'm not mistaken, he's the only player that was ever brought back into the fold after having been shunned.

Actually think they are a bit underappreciated or underrated at this point. They're still, generally, a consensus top 10 band, but there's a slide, I think (no statistical study has been done for this opinion, other than some general reading here and there). Oddly, the other day, Spotify extended a playlist of mine and put on Stop Breaking Down off Exile on Main St. album. Fabulous song with a prime example of their twin guitar approach. Listened to it a few times, at least.

Great song.
That's a "muddy" and raw recording.

I think they reached waaaaaay back to come up with some tunes for Tattoo You

Exile on Main Street is the Stones at their prime, in my opinion. Not a bad cut on the album.

I saw Mick Taylor at Tipitina's around 1987. What I remember most is a great 20-25 minute version of Can't You Hear Me Knockin'.

"Tattoo You" was an album composed of older songs that were lying around, so the band would have a new record for the big tour they wanted to do, and they didn't have many new songs written*. Some were re-recorded, while others were parts of old recordings with new material added. "Waiting on a Friend" had been recorded for "Goat's Head Soup" but left off the record... I think the entire recording is just from the GHS sessions. And it's funny that "Tattoo You" was a stronger record than "Emotional Rescue" or "Undercover"... and beats the hell out of "Dirty Work" and probably anything after that...
* I think Keith might've been in rehab, again, or prison in Canada, if I remember correctly...

The album is mostly composed of studio outtakes recorded during the 1970s, and contains one of the band's most well-known songs, "Start Me Up", which hit number two on the US Billboard singles charts.
A combination of touring obligations and personal feuding between band members made it difficult to arrange dedicated recording sessions for the band's follow-up to 1980's Emotional Rescue. As a result, the band's production team combed through unused recordings from prior sessions, some dating back almost a decade. While a few of the songs were used essentially as-is in their original form, most of these earlier recordings were not complete, consisting of song fragments requiring much work. Studio time was booked throughout 1980 and 1981 and band members came in when available to finish off the tracks.
