“Mick Taylor? He was the guitar player in the Rolling Stones after Brian Jones died. I’ve seen the Rolling Stones four times, but the first time I saw them was on the 4th of July, 1972 at RFK Stadium here in DC. General admission concert, about 55,000 of us. Stevie Wonder opened up, go figure. But Mick Taylor was the second guitar player behind Keith that night.
I met Mick Taylor a few years later in Richmond. He was playing with Alvin Lee and his new band, and they were opening up for Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio. Through hook and crook we got backstage passes and then we got into the hotel room down the road. This photograph is from the hotel. That’s the late John MacArthur in the brown jacket and Mick Taylor sitting in the chair behind him. On the right it’s me when I had brown hair and brown eyebrows and that’s Alvin Lee extending his hand to shake John’s hand. He got cut out of the picture a little bit. Alvin Lee was very cool too.”
