Like the *Flying Burrito Brothers* version better. But the Stones and Mick were great in their day. I would never waste my money seeing them in concert these days. Though I would see Van Morrison, Neil Young, Dylan, Eric Clapton especially Cream
There are great concert bootlegs of the Stones during the Mick Taylor years
I think we have the same musical tastes, Dennis, as I happen to know you are a big Kinkophile and Dylan too. Plus we share the same opinions on the Mideast.
Having said all that I was quoting another poster when I mentioned Wild Horses, not giving my own opinion.
Wild Horses was written when Gram Parsons was hanging out with the stones in the south of France. There is an undeniable Parson's influence on the song. I think Parsons made some statements that the song was written for him (not about him but for him).
Having said all that I'm not sure I'd take the FBB's version over the Stones'. I guess it's a taste thing but I do like the Stones version better.
