Sure this is Jagger on harmica? Sounds more like Jones to me.

Not a big fan of Aftermath, but Doncha Bother me is one of the all-time great rare Stones gems. It shows why Brian was one of the greatest bottleneck players [to be born in the United Kingdom].

I guess "Jack Nitzsche - percussion" is responsible for the opening/closing drumbeats while Charlie does the more conventional drumming?

Something of interest is that Brian's slide guitar only plays the slide on A if I remember right, it doesn't play anything else during the entire track, just that obvious slide bit. Other guitars play the chuck berry rhythm etc.

That's correct, and he also plays the prominant notes during the bridge.

It's almost as if the idea for the song started from somebody drumming their fingers to that rhythm and then all the rest was built over it.

Brian Jones brought the slide guitar to the masses, being the first white boy to play it in front of audiences around the world on television. For that reason alone, he is one of the most important slide players ever.

They have such a huge catalogue of songs to pick one and make it your own by covering it. This one and "Almost Hear You Sigh" would be my picks if I were a singer.

That's not the same guitar track though.
The open E tuned guitar only plays the obvious slide part, nothing else.

Are you sure? Brian's part sounds like it could be one track. He plays the obvious slide, and then continues with the Berry rythm, all in open E. Only at the very end both parts can be heard together, but the Berry guitar sounds a bit different, which could indicate an overdub.
Keith does all the counter notes in the other channel, and the acoustic guitar.
And I am pretty sure that's Brian on harmonica.
