Topic: Mick Taylor along for 1981 Kansas City show? Return to archive

White House Lawn Just wondering if anyone had more info on this, how did it come about, etc?

Also, Jagger mentions that Taylor is their "special guest" right before LET ME GO. Did he play with them the entire night, or was it just from that point on? TIA!

glencar Not sure how it came to be but he wasn't supposed to be there for more than 2 or 3 songs but ended up staying for the rest of the show. He pissed them off by the end of the night.

Reports from attendees suggest he was there from Black Limo through YCAGWYW. It is not easy to tell from the tape, and I've not heard it in a while. From memory, I believe Jagger says, "Thank you Mick" after Black Limo and an attendee claims Wood and Taylor traded licks during that song. As for the pissing, Taylor either was far from his monitor or not plugged into the soundboard and therefore was turned up very loud, pissing off some combination of Jagger and Richards.

A B&W pix of Taylor and Jagger at the show was posted on iorr.org a while ago.

I've no info on how it came about but Taylor was passing through KC while gigging with Alvin Lee that year. Apparently, KC was a useful resting station for those touring the midwest at the time (again, from a report on iorr.org).

T&A it probably was an audition for the upcoming PPV - needless to say MT didn't pass....

Interesting theory posted at various times on this board, but Taylor had a show that night with Alvin Lee. The Stones may have been auditioning him, but there is no indication he would cancel a show with Lee.

T&A well, it's my theory and I'm stickin' to it. I believe that MT would have have stood up Alvin if the opportunity arose....
