First of all welcome Billy (unless you're the one and only BillyBol)

Lucky bastard... since his last tour in 2001 his concerts has been sporadic but all of them great, he is also approachable and very friendly with the fans, say hi from me and Rocks Off

BTW, Rocks Off is not the only place in which you'll read jokes like the above.

He replaced Peter Green in the blues breakers of John Mayall, he was only
He added magic to the Stones
He toured and recorded with Bob Dylan

In the words of John from the inner cover of Blues from Laurel Canyon

“I doubt if there could be a better choice than Mick Taylor who really shows his brilliance on this new album. He has worked with me longer than any other guitarist I’ve had and I hope that we’ll continue as a team fir a long time to come”

John Mayall 3rd September 1968

Billy is the real name of our mate (and Dylan afficianado) Paddy from the previous board. He has seen bob more times than Bob has seen himself.

Billyboll has registered on the new board but appears to be content with merely lurking. Bumped into him after the final 02 show last August.

Last saw him at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, in May, accompanied by Terry Reid. I enjoyed it- but many didn't.

Damn. You were? I was at that one too. 5 years ago yesterday.

The Wembley show the following night was the greatest Stones show I've ever seen. What a week that was.

Yes indeed, my first visit to London, and ditto about the Wembley show. Just wish I could have scored tickets to Astoria as well.

to be honest i'm glad i only had to walk round the corner for this.it was a nice enough show but a bit "samey"

the last time i saw Mick Taylor was at Wembley 1984 when he was in Bob Dylan's band and he has certainly been eating well since those days !

i'm only familiar with his Stones and Dylan stuff so forgive me with the song titles.he played half a dozen blues standards to start with including Twisted Sister ? Losing Faith ? and Fed Up Blues ?

then he took a leaf out of Mick Jagger's book and disappeared for 10 minutes letting someone else do the singing.

he reappeared with a nice version of Blind Willie McTell interspersed with All Along the Watchtower complete with wrong lyrics.or at least mixed up lines.

the sound was better outside where we listened to Can't You Hear Me Knockin' ? and the encore No Expectations before heading for the last hour in the pub.

they played about an hour and 25 minutes including disappearance.would go again but only if it was just round the corner.
