Hi! I would like to knowif the TV appearance at the DFrost show on June 16, 1969 was with Brian or Mick Taylor.
The stones played HTW and YCAGWYYW. But BJ was out from the Group since June 9 and I understood that Taylor first appearance is at Hyde Park on july 5.
So, who was present at that show? Anybody has the video? |

I have YCAGWYW on video, and I remember seeing the performance of HTW on TV. It was indeed Mick Taylor, although at the time (I was on summer break between 5th and 6th grade) I was very confused - I started liking the Stones because I thought Brian was WAY cool. Of all my earliest rock heroes he was the only one who had hair the same color as mine. (BOY, what a LAME reason - but identifying with your heroes is important in grade school)I also got the picture sleeve of HTW and couldn't figure out where Brian was on that, either.
Then I heard WCFL-AM announce that Brian was DEAD. I can still remember that very plainly.
A big part of liking rock was the rebellion involved, albeit a safe, symbolic rebellion. My old man would get positively apoplectic when he would see the Beatles or Stones on TV. My mom, on the other hand, was a musician and a free spirit and loved the Beatles, which took some of the fun out of it. When I came home with the White Album, I had to hide it from my dad, but Mom couldn't wait to hear it. She even listened to all of Revolution #9 and came up with a theory as to its "meaning" (she thought it implied walking through a recording studio and opening different doors to hear different sessions.)
Anyway, even my mom hated the Stones on David Frost that summer. "They're just TRYING to look as DIRTY as they possibly can," she said in disgust. I get the feeling, in hindsight, that it wasn't the dirt so much as the fact that it was contrived dirtiness! Ha! Anyway, I was secretly thrilled that even Mom hated them - they became my favorite band at that moment.
Although this is technically MT's first APPEARANCE with the Stones, he wasn't playing. It was Mick singing live and the Stones faking the background.
It's funny that the timing of all of these things is so close together - it seemed like I'd heard "HTW" a million times by the time they were on David Frost. I guess it's because, when you're 12 years old, a week in the summetime seems like a YEAR.
Now it flips by in about 30 seconds. |
