Even though their periods with the ROLLING STONES didn't overlap, there's still something kinda cool about MICK TAYLOR and IAN MCLAGAN playing on a song about BRIAN JONES.
In 1984 Mick and Mac toured with BOB DYLAN and one of the songs played was Dylan's "Ballad Of A Thin Man", a song allegedly about Brian. Or as Dylan says at the end of the track, "for a friend of mine". At one point Dylan had said it was written about a reporter for the Village Voice, but its also said that Brian himself took it personally. Who knows? Anyway, some nice guitar playing from Mr. Taylor on this one, from Brussels, June 7, 1984.
From the same show, we also have the song that would later be covered by The Stones, "Like A Rolling Stone", where Mac gets to do the classic AL KOOPER organ part.
The complete line-up is: Bob Dylan (vocal & guitar), Mick Taylor (guitar), Ian McLagan (keyboards), Greg Sutton (bass), Colin Allen (drums).
Here are the songs:
BALLAD OF A THIN MAN
LIKE A ROLLING STONE
