This was recorded on January 2nd 1969 at the Marquee Club in London. Mick Taylor would shortly turn twenty and bassist Steve Thompson had just turned eighteen. I was the drummer.
Hi Colin. Nice to see you posting here! I was really stuck by the fact that Mick played through an Orange Matamp Amp here. Same brand as Peter Green used at the time. I always thought Mick was a Marshall guy. Cheers!
Sebastian Öström Hej Sebastien - hur läget! One explanation for MT using an Orange amp is that that the brand was fresh on the market (started to produce in 1968) and I think a lot of guitarists were giving the amps a try at that time. Other than that perhaps the Orange gear belonged to another guy playing in the opening band.
Sir it is nice to see you posting here. I interviewed John Mayall in Singapore in 1993. Eric Clapton in 1990. I was a fan of Bluesbreakers when I was a teenager late sixties. Blues was then the underground music. It was like a secret fraternity in Singapore. Guys with long hair, dressed in weird clothing and listening to British Blues. I followed suit for a few years. Then found the original sources. Nice to see you here on social media.
joseph pereira Glad our music was interesting for you guys so far away and led you to the original guys in the States. Hope you have fond memories of wearing the weird clothes which were probably frowned upon by the Singapore establishment in those days.
I did not get into the weird clothes till later. But the music straight away. It was a hard time in Singapore. Long hairs were continuall harassed by the establishment. Then I followed Stone The Crows. What a band. Loved Love 74. Hope you are fine Sir. I turned 60 this year. Senior citizen now. Still a fan of the music of that time. The best. Now in retirement myself.
I dont remember exatly when, i believe around half seventies, M. Jagger said on NME or something of similar, during an interwiew that J. Mayall and his Bluesbreakers were as an university...a blues university...from where musicians cane out specializated in Blues ...from 1963 to 1975 were paased a great number of musicians everyone of they had capabilities and tecnic to form his group of high Leveling for tecnic and musical taste...a great of white blues...A BANQUET IN BLUES FOREVER... Thanks you Me. John Mayall....
I saw Mick at his last gig with John Mayall before joining the Stones. I think he was about 19 at the time and even then his talent was astonishing. Never let that go to his head. Nice man
Micks playing is just great...........one time I was listening to him and thought he was playing pedal steel it was that round and flowing......haven't heard that from any other guitarist on the planet.
This is such a treasure. To see and hear just how freaking talented Mick Taylor is and why he was so important for the Stones. Thank you Mick for your musical genius.
'cause the director had an intership with Jean Christophe Averty of National french TV. ( Or JC Averty blackmailed him not to be the worst tv director for stage filming. Failed).
Andy 59 posted to me that he was at the gig and had a good time but was knackered at the end of the day. He said it was loud .- well it often was in those days. Years of the same thing left me with no treble in my left ear. To his question "Am I still playing" - No I stopped a couple of years ago at the ripe old age of 74. Almost fifty years as a pro was I think, a good innings.
mitchjam Old John just keeps on, keeping on. Yes, it's well documented and many American musicians agree, that the so-called "British Blues Invasion" was instrumental in opening the eyes of many a young blues fan to the original creators of blues music. The fact that a lot of those old blues boys got a new lease of professional life is a great footnote for guys like me, who just wanted to go and play in the US. & perhaps more importantly, experience the country & culture that had been such an influence on British kids of my generation.
Hi Colin.I saw the Bluesbreakers in 82 at the Park West in Chicago.I was seated in front of Mick.He was pretty Loud.I think he was playing through something like a Marshall half stack,an Ampeg VT-40 and a Fender Twin all at the same time if my memories correct.But i loved every moment of it.Your drumming was so wonderful.Sitting in the engineer seat driving the band.Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the compliments - I believe that was in June of that year. Yeah, MT could be pretty loud like so many other guitarists. Can't say it ever really bothered me but am now pretty deaf on my left side. LOL
There's a video of Fleetwood Mac playing live in Paris in which, every time Peter Green plays a solo the cameras cut to anyone but him - John McVie & Danny Kirwan, the audience, Mick Fleetwood, and a Dr Feelgood one - 'She Does It Right, live in a pub' (actually in Finland) - where they concentrate on Big Figure, the drummer, for Wilko's first solo, and then the bloody bass drum and Lee Brilleaux for the second!
Mick Taylor is arguably one of the greatest blue eyed blues guitarists to ever play with John Mayall. Shortly after this gig Mick went on to play with the Stones…
Mick joined BB Blunder and recorded the Workers Playtime Album along with Julie Driscol, Brian Belshaw, Brian Godding and Kevin Westlake, formerly the Blossom Toes, he left this band to join the Stones in time for the Hyde Park concert.
Blues from Lauren Canyon is one of my favorite albums of all time, for years i've dreamt of seeing some live footage of it. I knew there was something out there but never was quite able to find it... until now. I thank you greatly, JR Ellison! It means the world to me!
quel beau et intense souvenir ! j'avais 16/17 ans et je me souviendrai toujours avoir vu ce passage lors de sa diffusion qui m'a hanté : totalement incongru : un autre monde ! tx Colin
The Ritz was a favourite of mine. I saw bands like The Nice, Fleetwood Mac, Edgar Broughton and Mayall of course. The atmosphere was fantastic. I was talking to Lee Jackson of The Nice. He remembered the beer soaked carpet on the stage and the plastic beer glasses.
I've played guitar for 45 years! M Taylor has my favorite vibrato, when he bends up a whole step and does that slow wide vibrato it gives me chills and his smooth solos, so elegant. Don't get me wrong, I love Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Beck, all the Kings, SRV, many of the grunge era lead players (AIC for instance) etc etc.... but MT's vibrato just kills me.
There he is the gorgeous Mick Taylor holding his head down playing the most beautiful guitar just like he did in the Stones instead of prancing around and showing off on stage.
This is the four piece 'Laurel Canyon' band I saw a couple of times at The Marquee. Dick Heckstall-Smith must have had a night off from Colosseum. A great post. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this. I have never seen any footage of a young MT before he joined the Stones. I agree with others here though. the cameraman sucks for constantly cutting away from MT during his solos.
Danke fürs Hochladen! Diese Aufnahme kannte ich noch gar nicht. Geniales Teil & der kleine Film, der nebenbei eingespielt wird, einfach große Klasse. Große Dankeschön an die Macher!
Te amo John Mayall😚eres demasiado ❤ desde 1968 que te escuché por mi novio de entonces Jhon Marín a quien todavía amo desde la distancia y a través del tiempo.💕💕💕
Yep and what a fabulous town to be raised in. Spent many a Saturday night at the Ritz Ballroom, listening to the Tony Alton Band, whilst checking out the birds.
John Mayall Bluesbreakers the high school of British Bluesboom ... the quintessential reference of the genuis of Mayall . this man is the authentic blues iconic ... Mayall is Blues and Blues is Mayall
Saw Mick Taylor with John Mayall March 1969 on my first trip to the Fillmore East. Actually went to see Ten Years After, John Mayall was a bonus. I remember Mick Taylor was playing through a Fender amp on a chair.
Wow, what a treat. I saw this band LIVE in late 68 or early 69 in San Diego. Great memory. Thanks for posting, JR. Thanks to Colin Allen. I'm so happy to see hear this. Loved John's organ playing in these days.
Love your drumming, and this band, Colin. My memory must be just a tiny bit better on this point. The show was in Golden Hall, Community Concourse, San Diego. We were in the front row, because we were HUGE Bluesbreakers fans in those days. Even Deep Purple, at those time, was fun to watch. After your set, a few of us goofy 18 year old fans, pulled back the stage curtain and peaked ink---not much security needed in those days, and it looked like you were tearing down your own gear. Some girls were peaking in with us, and you smiled and said "Hello, Birds". RIdiculous indelibe memory. Only wish your set was longer.,
@@erasmusomnius For some reason my memory had me thinking it was an open air gig, but you are correct with the venue, and it was on April 26th, 1969. Glad you enjoyed the show.
I always have loved J. Mayall and his music and groups...a blues university...the only concert that i have could see, in Roma, 5 of july 1981, was interrupted by John cause some jerks had stolen his harmonicas set box from the stage...during the first and second half of seventies Bluesbreakers never came in Italia or Roma...im 64 y.old and never listen him more than 3 minutes...destiny....
John Mayall canto y armónica... Mick Taylor gran guitarrista... Video de 1969 poco antes de que ingrese a Rolling Stones... No estuvo mucho tiempo con los Stones por que no tuvo química con Keith Richards, quien es conocido por tener arrebatos de extrema sinceridad: hace relativamente poco tiempo, los Stones invitaron a Mick para que grabe con ellos una canción... Ahí en el estudio de grabación, a décadas de distancia, volvían a estar juntos Keith y Mick... Terminaron de grabar y Keith que le dice a Mick: " Ya ves, por eso nunca me caíste bien. Eres demasiado malditamente bueno como guitarrista!"😂😂😂 Mick Taylor no atinó que decir... Vintage Keith Richards, sinceridad no le falta a veces ❤😊😊
0:43 (french speaker) Il a trente-trois ans, il est le nouveau chef de file des chanteurs de blues en Angleterre. Il se nomme John Mayall. Ses fidèles viennent de Paris, de New York pour l'écouter. On l'appelle : Le Professeur
I saw John Mayall probably five times; saw him at the Seattle Center in 1968 with Mick Taylor. I don't think Mick ever looked up, you just saw the top of his head; but his playing blew me away. Deep Purple was on the bill also but Mayall's group stole the show.
Good to hear this music again, somewhat lost today. Typical visual recording techniques for the time: BBC engineers still thought in terms of a vocalist with a backing band so Mick Taylor's solos are way down in the mix!
Just a gentle little comment regarding the criticisms of the camera work and not seeing much of Mick Taylor. When all this was happening, everybody was experimenting with all kinds of art forms. Nobody knew that Hendrix, Taylor, Beck, Clapton etc were going to be the mega stars and mega influencers that we see from 50 years in the future. The whole scene was just ... cool. Sure, we knew thay were good, better than most but if you were there, really there, in the 60's it was all a huge melting pot of NEW. We were the same age as the guys in the bands and nobody looked much more than two years ahead. Makes me irate too not to be able to see Mick's fingering and hear his tone properly, but that isn't what the film is about and I'm pretty sure Mick would have been horrified at such scrutiny at the time.
Il faut vraiment que le réalisateur (français, c'est tout dire...) soit un crétin intersidéral pour foutre des cygnes pendant les solos de Mick Taylor...!!!
The cameramen were often ordered by the lead guitarist NOT to film them. Because they didn't want other artists to see how they played it. Show the fingering etc. Steal their technique which is the product of hundreds of hours sweat and toil developing their skills.
In the early days of Van Halen, when Eddie would be working in a club or any venue he didn't want any guitarist (who might be in the crowd) seeing him solo, so David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony would stand in front of him while he performed his solos.
@@rayjr62 yes there are a lot of videos of the best guitarists. And viewers complain no footage of the solo or other parts the guitarist is doing. Or just show the head shot. No guitar close ups. It's by design.
Always thought this music was BORING, FORMULATED and REPETITIVE. So completely over-rated. Then I started to play guitar and got better and better. Found out why these guys play blues - ITS EASY. Its all BS. If you know some scales, you can play this garbage all day and night. ITS EASY.
Isn't all music like that?? Yngwie Malmsteen plays 100000 miles/hour, but it is just scales as well. Everyone can learn to play scales, but it is how you use that, that make you stand out!!!
This was recorded on January 2nd 1969 at the Marquee Club in London. Mick Taylor would shortly turn twenty and bassist Steve Thompson had just turned eighteen. I was the drummer.

The Legendary John Mayall Bluesbreakers . a very great name in Blues history 💙 fantastic and timeless musician . a pure British genuis
Thank You Bluesbreakers!
John Mayall had so many great musicians go through his bands.
Micks playing is just great...........one time I was listening to him and thought he was playing pedal steel it was that round and flowing......haven't heard that from any other guitarist on the planet.
Amazing late 60's London blues footage. Absolutely priceless.
From the “Blues from Laurel Canyon” Album…A must have Album….
This is such a treasure. To see and hear just how freaking talented Mick Taylor is and why he was so important for the Stones. Thank you Mick for your musical genius.
Why treasure?
"To see..." ???
to follow john mayall was to study blues 101 to be a bluesbreaker was a privilage and an honour . he schooled the uk on the real folk blues
I saw Mick Taylor play with John Mayall at Whiskey A Go-Go, West Hollywood, around 1967-68 !!
So Mick kicks off into a beautiful solo and the camera pans to a stoned audience member, brilliant !!
ugh it pisses me off they don't show mick enough in the entire video but you can hear his soulful playing
+Kilo Band Welcome to french tv....
+2quundar I disagree :D ! Look the farewell Concert of Cream. The camera pans are awful !
'cause the director had an intership with Jean Christophe Averty of National french TV. ( Or JC Averty blackmailed him not to be the worst tv director for stage filming. Failed).

Would like to see some more of Mick Taylor’s hand movement. Obviously the Stones knew what he had!
I have been a John Mayall/Bluesbreakers fan since 1964.Also love Mick Taylor`s solos ,and have never seen this video.Thanks for posting !
Beautiful immortal blues 🥰👍🏻👌🏻
I'd like to throttle whoever is responsible for cutting out every opportunity here to photograph Mick Taylor playing in the infancy of his career.
I second that!
Yeah, some French "artist" decided freakin garbage scows were more important than MT I guess. Seems he has the obscurity he deserves.
whats a " Garbage scow ? " I know its a boat of some sort , but what is it ?
chopperking1122
It's a barge that hauls garbage
There's one currently occupying the White House in the USA...
Thank you for your service to the blues, Colin.
You're welcome - thank you.
Mick: *starts playing*
Camera man: “y’all wanna see some boats??”

One thing about Mayall is he really loves what he does!
That’s amazing! I feel this music in my psyche and it is my influence. Mick Taylor

The atmosphere was fantastic. I was talking to Lee Jackson of The Nice. He remembered the beer soaked carpet on the stage and the plastic beer glasses.
Gold. Thank you.
I'm French Canadian Indian and now I'm hearing a French commentator classic I feel young again!
En gran talento del joven Maestro Mick Taylor se nota, le imprime potencia a cualquier canción haciéndola una obra de arte.
I've played guitar for 45 years! M Taylor has my favorite vibrato, when he bends up a whole step and does that slow wide vibrato it gives me chills and his smooth solos, so elegant. Don't get me wrong, I love Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Beck, all the Kings, SRV, many of the grunge era lead players (AIC for instance) etc etc.... but MT's vibrato just kills me.
What about Paul Kossofs vibrato?
@@kevinobrien1259 Paul's was a fast vibrato, Mick Taylor's more liquid, flowing and fluid.
@@stevehughes1510 Yep, love that, it has the same effect on me as Bonnie Raitt's slow slide vibrato.
Me too. The riff on SWAY is one of my favorites. Not right in your face but just perfect.
Agree with the comments here and would add Danny Kirwan.
Sublime, superb , substantial 🎉❤ he is the man who suggested McCartney might like to try an epiphone Casino!
Amazing. I was at this gig. I had no idea it was filmed
There he is the gorgeous Mick Taylor holding his head down playing the most beautiful guitar just like he did in the Stones instead of prancing around and showing off on stage.

Nice vamping and dynamics, by everyone, 1:30, and then Mick's solo kicks in about 1:55. Nice groove, yeah.

Yes, it probably was . . . . .thanks for the compliment. That's "rhythm" - incidently.

Always thought this music was BORING, FORMULATED and REPETITIVE. So completely over-rated. Then I started to play guitar and got better and better. Found out why these guys play blues - ITS EASY. Its all BS. If you know some scales, you can play this garbage all day and night. ITS EASY.
Isn't all music like that?? Yngwie Malmsteen plays 100000 miles/hour, but it is just scales as well. Everyone can learn to play scales, but it is how you use that, that make you stand out!!!
@JustPlainBrad I have no idea, but I prefer Alvin over Yngwie anyday!!!
@JustPlainBrad you got a great taste!!!
@JustPlainBrad I will have a look tomorrow👍👍
