Mick Taylor &
Stephen Dale Petit
Glasgow Renfrew Ferry
9th May, 2009
View: standing, in front of Mr. T
The contrasts between Taylor’s early 70s visits with the Stones to the rather more intimate dimensions of tonight’s soiree couldn’t be more dramatic. Arriving as the special guest of Petit, the former Bluesbreaker is cast as the unassuming, revered master craftsman to Petit’s brash Young Pretender. Opening with The Bluesbreakers’ Snowy Wood, where the purity of the sound from Taylor’s trademark Les Paul kicks in with the impact of a slap in the face, the special guest’s time on stage touches on his illustrious past with Robert Johnson’s Stop Breaking Down and Love In Vain, Muddy Waters’ You Shook Me and, as a finale, The Bluesbreakers’ Steppin’ Out. They provided more than ample room for Taylor to showcase the distinctively gutsy quality of his playing even, if at times, it was obvious that the show was under-rehearsed.
