Contents: 18-year-old Mick Taylor, the fifth guitarist of the Bluesbreakers, in a live performance! Also includes a BBC live recording and the debut recording of the legendary band "THE GODS". Mick Taylor was a pillar of the Rolling Stones' golden age in the 70s. Flowing guitar phrases, brilliant fingerwork. He joined the Stones at the age of 20 and made his stage debut at the legendary Hyde Park Free Concert. His appearance, similar to Bj?rn Andr?sen, makes him the original handsome guitarist. Since then, his guitar playing on masterpieces such as "Sticky Fingers," "Exile on Main St.," "Goats Head Soup," and "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" has been well-received, and his improvisational solos in live performances have been highly praised. This is a rare recording of him before he joined the Stones, and he is especially popular in Japan. Includes 7 tracks from the John Mayall Bluesbreakers' August 1967 festival performance in Windsor, England. As you know, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers have inadvertently become a kind of training ground for musicians in Britain. Eric Clapton was a member before forming Cream and made a name for himself, and after Clapton left, Peter Green was a member. Mick Taylor joined in May 1967, replacing these super guitarists, at the tender age of 18. John Mayall probably had complete confidence in Mick Taylor's playing. "He's still a youngster, but the audience will be blown away when they hear his guitar." And so, in front of the discerning audience gathered at the Jazz & Blues Festival, the first song was an instrumental number with an explosive guitar solo. He unleashed a barrage of sharp, Clapton-esque blues phrases and fiery fingerwork that filled the venue. When the song ended, a huge cheer erupted, and John Mayall proudly introduced him as "Mick Taylor!" In addition, he fully showcases his guitar playing on blues classics such as "I Can't Quit You Baby" and "Oh Pretty Woman." This is a memorable performance from the concert where the extraordinary guitarist Mick Taylor first gained recognition in the British music scene. It also includes live recordings from the BBC program "TOP GEAR" and the debut recording of the legendary band "THE GODS." 8 pages of Japanese liner notes with stage photos, circumstances, and anecdotes from the day.
