The Stones Touring Party! Alot of us will always think that 1972 was the greatest Stones tour ever. I think I have a boot of pretty much every show on the tour as well as the Dallas rehearsals.

The video is too blurred for me to pick out detail of Keef's guitar.

 

I sure hope PM doesn't watch this. All the closeups of various parts of Mick's anatomy, as well as the spit flying and the sweat rolling down his face, could just send PM right over the edge............

 

Seriously, as ZW says, 1972 was probably the best Stones tour ever.

. Mick Taylor added a level of finesse. His fills and solos on Cant-Get-Want that tour? Whew.

Dd you get to see them on this tour? I caught them at The Garden.

 

Nah, by 1972 I had gotten into sailing, and live music was shifting to the back burner as all my spare money and time went into boats. It still does, as I discovered when I bought another boat a few months ago. I went from being comfortably set for retirement to going for just one more three-year work contract to feed the hungry beast.

 

Fortunately, I already have all the guitars I need.

I had the boat thing licked pretty good. As a kid I worked for the local Rec department. During the summer I taught sailing for them and over the course of two winters worked with a couple of guys building boats. No money but I could use the boats whenever I wanted. I also had a Flying Dutchman I could snag which a friend's Dad owned but never used. I actually made the NY Times with all this stuff once because of my tender age. So in a whole lotta years of sailing I never actually had to lay out any money for a boat.

You've got me beat. I figure boats have cost me an average of $25,000 per year for the last 40 years or so. But it has also been my complete livelihood for the last 35 years, so I can't complain. I'm still ahead.

Great great Stones clip - thanx for posting.

 

I think Keith's acoustic is this one (which we had up several times without me being able to remember the brand - embarrassing as it may seem).

That certainly looks like it.

I don't know, right about 4:16 you get the best look and the pickguard doesn't look Dovish or Hummingbird-like it looks like a square shoulder J-50 to me. Perhaps an early (heaven forbid) Taylor (just kidding). This song and Dear Doctor are my favorite Stones songs to do on an acoustic guitar.

If you got to make your living at it you are way ahead of me. I got the love from my grandfather who started boating in the 1920s. Always wished he had kept one of the two big wood hull boats he owned. All I have left is a WWI surplus clock from one of them and some photos. The only time in my life boats provided me was a living was in the early 70s when New York University hired me to run a boat doing environmental impact studies on the Hudson River. We used to do crazy stuff like tag fish and then chase them or spend a few nights camped out in a cove somewhere doing beach seine fishing. But was fun, the pay was great for the day (I was able to buy Stones tickets with no trouble), and I only had to work four days a week one of which was spent on the docks doing boat and net maintenance.

I still keep "You Got the Silver" in my set list but have been known to break out "Factory Girl" a time or two.

No doubt the Richards Sweet Virginia-guitar is the one seen in my back-stage-post 11.

That one was the one I had in mind.

 

I thought it was a country and wedtern but then noticed it had dot

Inlays so I discarded that idea. He does play his bird on tv in a 1966 perfotmance of Lady Jane.

It's not a Gibson, but I don't know what it is.
