Ok, im confused. Is it Taylor on the album version playing the rhythm guitar?

That extended version sounds great.

But there are quotes about Keith putting the final guitar on it.

It's Taylor on the album too, and he goes into that more complex rhythmic playing in the fadeout on the album. I have the feeling the "Extended Version" is just a previous take.

Thanks...the confusion was Mathijs stating an article quoting Glyn Johns?? Saying Keith came in and went bang...
But listening to the above extended version it does seem like Taylor on the album also.
Too many beers also maybe...

Yeah, if you listen closely to the outro fadeout on album version, Taylor plays that same intricate rhythm part.

If you listen to KR's guitar in isolation you can hear him keeping the tempo up, almost spurring everyone along. I'm guessing he came in and kicked the song up a notch or ten haha

I wrote a one page paper on this song for a high-school English class cuz I was a delinquent who skipped school often and listened to rock ‘n roll and got an “A”

It's definitely not the LP version take. There are a lot of different things happening with the drums and guitars and the vocals are nothing like the LP version. Apparently it's take one, or it's the first of however many takes that got overdubbed, with the horns etc at Mick's house.
You can hear the horns playing live on the alternate take.Here they were removed

The horns on the 'extended' version are blasting away throughout the song.

What Mick meant by the overdubs being done live at his house was the overdub performance was everyone recording at once: the bottoms had no horns.

Everyone should revisit the debut in Vancouver 1972. It appears they had plans for an even longer breakdown or something. Trial by fire!

To my ears, yes. Good enough to be Taylor on Bitch. Or Morning Story, Gothenburg '75,almost heavy metal. The loose A string on Bitch doesn't make the difference. Let me put it this way, and then I stop on this subject: There are live tracks (Ya ya's and Brussels) where you hardly hear the difference between Keith and Taylor at moments when they play the same rhythm . Why not on Bitch?

Let me quote myself , posted in 2021 on page 6, and explain:
People that don't learn from history will have to repeat it.

I may be totally wrong but I'm a Taylorite.
