The Abcko dump included just the first three tracks from the 28th November 1969, 1st show. Two of these tracks: Carol and Sympathy for the Devil were used on Ya Yas with vocal overdubs replacing the original vocals. We know that a guitar overdub by Keith was later done on Carol but there hasn’t been much comment here about the overdubs on Sympathy for the Devil (probably the key track on the album along with MR. To what extent were overdubs used on this track? I will be interested in Chris M’s conclusions on this when he updated his webpage.
Are you 100% sure about guitar overdubs? I thought, at least to my knowledge, there were no guitar overdubs that ended up making it onto the finished album.
You hear Keith playing the rhythm on Carol (and Little Queenie) while he's playing his solos

>Little Queenie and Carol are the weakest on the album IMO
Strange. I think they are the strongest. I always wonder who exactly is playing which guitar lines or riffs. I thought it was Keef and Taylor trading on and off playing rhythm and lead. Still do kinda. But the overdubbing makes sense especially here. I knew there was some studio work on the album but did not know what exactly.

Actually , if you listen to the bootleg of the three NYC shows the music is the same on all the tracks except Carol and Little Queenie. The rest of the guitars and bass were not overdubbed. And those tracks , Little Queenie and Carol are the weakest on the album IMO. . And having said that, the overdubs on those songs arent very noticeable .
Really? Carol is better than Sympathy, Street Fighting Man, Live With Me, Love in Vain , Honky Tonk Women? And doesn’t Taylor switch back and forth between rhythm and lead on Satisfaction? His guitar on Satisfaction is pretty greatQuote

I think that Keith wanted to put his own stamp on the rhythm tracks.

Both guitars playing rhythm at once sounds pretty solid:

Interesting. Sounds like Keith to me. Does this imply that he overdubbed his rhythm guitar on JJF?
