11: Song From Your Fave Band.

Another toughie. Right now, that's probably the Stones, and I'm choosing this song, not only because it's brilliant, but this version shows Mick Taylor at his finest. This slide solo may be my favourite solo of all time, and the video, if you can be bothered shows Mick, beautiful, beautiful Mick, going all Najinsky.

I think I need to stop using the word 'Beautiful'.

Still Revising....

If there's a better version of this song, I don't know of it... I can't find live footage, except of the Altamont version, which is slightly disquieting, as we all know some poor bastard is getting stabbed to death in the background...
Anyway, I commend you especially to the guitarwork from about 3 minutes in; let us glory in the fine work of Richards and Taylor.

Cheers.

P.S The second guitar solo, for those who care, is, I think the better , and Mick Taylor.
