MICK TAYLOR and his Gibson Firebird photographed by Chris Walter on the set of the BBC television program Top of the Pops, July 3, 1969.
Just a couple of weeks after Mick Taylor had officially replaced original member Brian Jones, The Rolling Stones performed their latest single, Honky Tonk Women, which was their first single to feature Mick Taylor on guitar, set to be released the day after the band filmed their appearance. When this performance aired on July 10th, Honky Tonk Women had already debuted at number nine on the UK Singles Chart and reached number one just two weeks later. This Top of the Pops performance would be lost for decades before a rebroadcasted version of the footage that aired on the Swiss television program Hits a Go-Go resurfaced decades later.
