a video i put together with footage stills and pics of the stones during the exile era. travellin' man is an unreleased song recorded during the sticky fingers sessions and could of fit easily on the exile on main street album.
The greatest mistake the Stones ever made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK, to keep Mick Taylor in the band. For starters, they could have PAID him. He was given no credits on SEVERAL albums---in other words, no residuals. In addition, his mates should have helped him with drug addiction and got him the help he needed to stay with the band. They did not... With all due respect to Keith Richards---on Mick Taylor's WORSE DAY, Keef couldn't hold a candle to him. Make no mistake, Keith Richards is a very good guitarist. Mick Taylor is a GREAT guitarist. A guitar genius. Right up there with Hendrix, Clapton, and Santana. No doubt about it. The five albums he produced with the Stones from '69-'74 are all classics. The band was never the same after 1974.
You can tell from the first bars of this number that it is NOT a Richard composition. This is Mick Taylor leading the way and everyone else hanging on for dear life! A truly great unfinished cut, it is a shame it never got the attention is deserves. Its never too late fellas......do it live on the Zip Code tour.
Problem is unless one is a true Stones fans whenever they play a deep cut the casual fans (99%) of the audience sits on their rumps. Mick can't handle this so we have had the same war horses for years. Very few rock fans know the depth of the Stones back catalogue. I think their greatest songs are never played and unknown. That is why they always rank way down compared to other classic rock bands, but we true fans get it and always understood the greatness of the band. Just my opinion and everyone has a right to their own favorite.
No way Keith Richards could duplicate or even keep up with this song. Pry why you haven't heard All Down The Line in concert for about 20 years. Anyone who has watched a Stones concert since about 1998 can obviously see that Keith Richards is not holding up his deal of the bargain. Poor Woody and whoever the guy who sits behind the curtain and plays Keith's parts for him.
You're underestimating Keith. These days he's definitely not what he was with those gnarled knuckles and all but if you listen to live Stones from this era you'll know that him not being able to keep up is completely false.
This shows why the Stones deserve their reputation as a brilliant band. Loved to have seen them live then. I wouldn’t walk to the end of the street to see them live now. Big disappointment .It’s great to have this old track to hear how good they were then . Late sixties for the Beatles and early seventies for the Stones
Jagger just mumbles, so just a showboat for the other Mick. And Mick should have sung Happy! But alas, Rock Gods battle far beyond the walls of the mortal universe!
Lest we not forget Charlie and Bill..fantastic as always..that kick on the cymbals really gets it goin,it's a true collaboration of some of the best musicians to have ever been on this planet...also Nicky Hopkins on piano if I'm not mistaken
@@woody816 I`d argue with you here, my friend. Though Keith`s guitar is very quiet on this mix and MT`s, on the other hand, pretty loud, I can clearly hear Keith playing his bluesy riff on his transparent strtocaster somwhere in my right ear.
Recorded at Olympic studios in London, in October of 1970. The song was never released befor the re-edition for "Exile". Lead Guitar & Solos: Mick Taylor Vocal: Mick Jagger Keyboards: Nicky Hopkins Drums: Charlie Watts Bass: Bill Wyman
Micks vocals @2:55🎵ahh haa ~ ahh haa ~ haa haa haa🎵One cool lead singer/frontman. When the piano~Nicky Hopkins comes in it starts cookin’. Love the black/white visuals!!! 💗
sitting in the neighbours garage getting drunk tonite , his I-Pod was going ." That sounds like a stones song , but , what is it ? " I ask . [ I know em all } " travellin man , sticky fingers , outake " Woah , how good is this !!??" never heard it before !!
Great rhythm pulsating beat and piano in the background. Another gem forgotten or deemed not good enough to release. Other bands would have jumped at it. Stones standards so high.
This song further proves that the classic rockers have more hidden talent than any of the current 'artists' will ever achieve. Great song by one of the greatest rock bands ever assembled, and it was never even released!
Wonderful jam by the stones. Taylor on fire and Watts and Wyman backing - you couldn't ask for more. Richards wad probably asleep dreaming of the next great song he would do bless .
I believe that Allan Klein and Co own the copyright to this song. The Stones would not have been legally allowed to put this song on their own company's album.@@lotharroberts5978
