The Rolling Stones "Midnight Rambler" Marquee Club 1971 

I hope, today, that someone appreciates this. It was Rock and Roll and Blues that will never be performed again.

That's when the Stones were the best, Mick Taylor on guitar and Ampeg amps.

That dam sound , I’m 57 yrs old makes me want a dance floor !!! Listen to that harmonica!!!

Mick Taylor's guitar playing is pure sublime...

Mick Taylor brought a depth to the band that they never regained after he left

Mick, a microphone & a harmonica. Best frontman ever.

The biggest compliment I can give to Keith as a guitarist is that he makes playing rhythm guitar look cool asf. Everybody wants to be EVH, Hendrix, Page etc. but Keef is the guitarist, for me, who steals the show. He is the one you look at and go ‘wow, I want to be that guy’. Compare Keith to most rhythm guitarist of that time. Most of them were reduced to simple root barre chords and were mainly just there to keep in time with the drummer, Keith on the other hand servers more of a purpose, his riffs are the driving force of the whole song, not just that but his embellishments, melodic lines and strumming patterns made Keith stand out a style which is truly his own. Taylor was virtuouso, but Keith was a real rock’n’roll guitarist not just what he played but how he looked too.

Mick is an unbelievably good harp player!

RIP Charlie Watts. A jazz drummer in a rock n' roll band. The Stones would not have been the Stones without Charlie.

That was down and dirty, filthy blues and I loved every second of it. Damn, they were good. RIP Sir Charles.

Mick Taylor!!! The Greatest guitarist the Stones ever had!!!

Arguably the best version of the Stones in my opinion . Mick Taylor was a guitar technician second to none who built his chops during a stint in the Blues Breakers. Keith held Taylor in check with his fabulous riffs which are so deceptively difficult, but anchors the whole group. Jagger is a killer on the harp and vocals, that few other front men can hope to match. Charlie and Bill have always had a reputation for being two rock solid timekeepers. Put them all together in a room like The Marquee Club. and the magic just starts to happen. This smaller size venue was where the Stones sounded, and played their absolute best. I was fortunate to see the Stones on their Steel Wheels tour in Vancouver. I think every local musician was at the 50,000 seat BC Place stadium also. Not the greatest venue, but hey, it’s the Rolling Stones.

Pure magic. Mick Taylor was so under-appreciated. I would've liked to have been a fly on the wall during this concert!

RIP Charlie, one of the best drummers ever.

Boy, Mick can sure really play the harp here. He’s very underrated in this arena.

Midnight Rambler is a freaking Masterpiece 🎉🎉. The harmonica in this is simply bad ass 🎉🎉. Mick you and the stones are 2nd to none 🎉🎉

one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever written

Slow tempo section at 6:29 ... Charlie cracks the cymbal, Mick J. busts out laughing ... Mick Taylors guitar work on this piece is nothing short of amazing. Keith, Bill & Charlie's rhythm is other-worldly ... well balanced / synchronous.

7:20 Mick Taylor starts a brillant solo 8:58 another incredible solo You´re welcome :P

Sounds like it was recorded in a professional Studio, last year. Fantastic performance by the Stones ! 10/10

Man... they were good in 69-72. The best Stones.

So amazing that this is over 53 years ago!

The exact opposite of an underrated band; everything said is true.. and more; they truly ARE that great. Music lovers, artists, individuals, band members, entertainers, icons, songwriters, innovators, an entire brand... it's hard to imagine that The Stones could even have happened, let alone persisted... god damn I love The Stones!

....That was bloody marvellous. You can dissect influences and artists, but at the end of the day, it’s just great rock’n’roll, simple. It’s raw, it’s live and it just works.

"Midnight Rambler" still a rock in roll classic!

Keith was sporting his new young and homeless look decades before he moved into his old and homeless look.

That slow down and pick up is epic here! The whole band is one voice.

Can here that small closed in venue sound, would’ve loved to be there🥰

I hate it that the camera is (and always has been) about Jagger; I would have liked to see more of Taylor and Richards.

what a precious moment in time

I'm 62 and can't remember time without them.

I have to agree, this was a remarkable performance. The stones are much better than I thought.

This is the definition of rock and roll

During his 60 minutes interview, Keith was asked if Ronnie was a better guitar player than him. Keith responded he probably was but that wasn't the important thing. What was important to Keith and what he said was "Together we're better than any ten". That's Keith. And that's why he's the best in my book.

Magic in the air, they played with real soul here

This is stunning. I've loved the Stones for decades, but I haven't seen this till now.

Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman: a very underappreciated rock rhythm section, in my opinion.

Keith’s rock and Taylor’s roll, complemented with stunning Jagger’s vocals and harp... all go well with the best rhythm section in R&R history.

Jagger is absolutely electrifying. Effortlessly nails the vocal to the wall and knows exactly when and what to play on the harp. His intuition as a singer for dynamics is an art. Intense performance. Thanks.

When I was 13 years old I used to plug in my electric guitar when I got home from school and play along with this and the rest of the ‘Get Your Ya-Yas Out’ album which was recorded at Madison Square Gardens. In 1987 I stepped onto the same stage and shed a tear of joy. Haven’t heard this since I was a teenager: it’s still brilliant.

Been listening to the Stones all night. Having a blast. RIP Charlie Watts. Now in Rock n Roll Heaven.

many don't realize how great of musicians the stones are

The best Stones line up ever! Taylor was so under appreciated!!

This Marquee Club gigs are the best Stones performances I've ever seen and heard

Great video. Mick Taylor!! This is the Stones at their best: not a commercial act, but a great rock-blues band.

One of the Stones best ever tracks and a cracking rendition.

Taylor added so much color to this music

So so so good ! every element of stones chemistry in this - pure class 👌

Damn.. the blues notes just seem to roll of Taylors fingers. And that vibrato .. wow !!

Taylor's playing was smooth and polished

Mick Taylor as brilliant as always.

Most gorgeous of best worldwide harmonica players 😂😂😂 We love you Mick ! ❤❤❤

The greatest loss in Rock and Roll was when Mick Taylor left the rolling Stones Truly the greatest Rock and Roll band in the world

50 years ago and beats anything put out today.

This one of the best rock videos I have ever seen

The guys at there best mick was amazing..they all pulled it out the hat that night...merci pour ce partage

The musicianship on this is incredible. The way they handle the segue from 12/8 to straight 4/4 is so smooth; those great big gaps of absolute silence with everybody in the hall (not just the band) feeling the beat. A masterpiece!

This is what they excel at. Good old time rock and blues. And the were lose...and stoned back in 71.

Mick Taylor, playing as sharp as a knife.

Alive Dead- Stones will Play Their Qays- Long Live Sir Charlie- glad to attend 5 wild Jams- Thanks To All Who Put These aRecordings- Makes Life Better

This song is the epitome of the Rolling Stones.

I love Mick Taylor's playing. He makes me want to pick up my guitar and learn that lick!!

Check out 6:58, after everybody´s come in at a different time. The band makes Mick miss the word "anger", but his irritation only lasts a second. Proof of his professionalism, but most of all, the expression on his face is priceless...

Mick is so relaxed and point on .Great number by the band .

Zählt mit zu den besten Stones Song's ✌️✌️✌️ Jagger in Höchstform ✌️ Größter Rockstar , Sänger , Performer und Mundharmonikaspieler ( neben Brian Jones & Neil Young ) ... aller Zeiten und des Universums ✌️✌️💋✌️

The greatest line-up of the greatest rhythm & blues band in the word.

Putting commercials in the MIDDLE of videos ought to be a capital crime...

Mick Taylor,Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Charlie Watts were the STONES best ingredients to me I love alot of the music they made from 65-76 everything was good after that the bands dynamic changed dramatically to my ears STONES ADDICT FOREVER

Mick Taylor. The best they ever had. What a great guitarist. He perfectly compliments Keith's open G riffing.

No Rhapsody or progressive act could beat such a unique performance and masterpiece. Really !! Dazzlingly !!

Micks harp playing was exceptional and everybody contributed their maximum efforts to hold it all together; for a truly fine performance, kudos for this great post!

Great performance of this epic song. Mick Taylor and the rest of the band are immense on this recording.

Song you've heard a million times, but somehow your jaw drops. Rolling Stones good band IMO.

I live for times like this! very rare to find anything this dam good on any platform! pure stones. no words can express how fine this piece of music history is. thank you for sharing it.

I just love the Stones sound so much with Mick Taylor in the band! Rock and Rolls best forever!

I remember back in 69, I had just purchased the "Get Your YaYas Out" 8track tape and loaded it into my Muntz blue-Light 8track player and cranked it up with the windows rolled up in my 1964 Pontiac GTO with fresh Craig speakers, I blew my brains out! Greatest Stoner Album especially Sympathy for The "Devil."

Amazing version! One of my favorite!!!

They seem to go into a blues trance - amazing!

Damn Taylor's good

Thank God for the Stones. Amen.

Man that harmonica and guitar blues’n it like that is freaking amazing! That is some damn good rock n roll

This is rock and roll at its best. Such a great clip. Thank you.

Jagger was interviewed in 1994 and said The Stones had their peak years from 1969-1974. He stated that the addition of Taylor was key to their success during that period.

this amazing rock song and blues is one of the tops for me.

So good it's stupid. There is nothing as good as this in terms of Rock Music. Best band ever.

I’m not a massive Stones fan, but the way this comes in...it’s incredible 👍

2:38 is some of the finest guitar you will ever hear

Yes Mick Taylor a great guitarist He helped with putting the music together

At their prime. Between 1968-1978, No one came close to them. No one , especially live. Beatles broke up, Zep couldn't last,,,but the Stones were just peaking in this 10 year period. The way Rock n Roll should be , ,,,Raw,,,soulful,,,and full of emotion.

I never get tired of watching this. Keith makes it look so loose and easy, but his playing is very sophisticated and complex if anyone has tried to analyse what he's playing. That came from true musical talent and although Mick Taylor is exemplary it's all for nothing without Keith's foundation and vibe.

Mick Taylor smooth as silk. the stones were on another level when MT was in the band

at this stage they still cared for the music, their playing..superb live recording for sure..tight and groove is awesome..

08:14 looks like they're having a good time. What a unreal life they had.

A song played during a million epic Saturday nights across America.

Holy Moses, that's incredible.

When The Rolling Stones WERE THE ROLLING STONES !!!

Incredible. Great era of the Stones - part of mixing in the Muscle Shoals sound.

Long, good songs, are always best live. This a great recording. Thank you for sharing!

In that time the group was compact and productive with Mick Taylor has the real Stone’s sound He and Keith make a grateful sound

When they were still "dangerous" Their best era!...Plus the sound is awesome!
