The Stones Ramble With Mick Taylor

Some 19,000 Rolling Stones fans didn’t have to die to go to guitar heaven at Thursday December 13, 2012's "50 & Counting. . ." show in Newark, New Jersey.

Not only did Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Mick Jagger and company bring all their usual firepower to the first of two concerts at The Prudential Center (the band comes back for an encore Saturday December 15, 2012).  They also brought reinforcements.

There was guest star number one, John Mayer – not the mellow fellow of “Your Body is a Wonderland” but a blues fiend who howled and wailed as he traded solo after extravagant solo with  Wood and Richards. The song was “Respectable” from the seminal album “Some Girls”.

Then there was guest star number two, Mick Taylor – one time Stones guitarist, who shredded up some “Midnight Rambler” with Richards in spectacular fashion (above). MORE HERE
