Can anybody recall Keith singing backing vocals on any live versions of "Brown Sugar"?


It is Keith that joins Mick for the final chorus on the famous Brussels '73 version? It sounds like Keith. But I've never heard or seen another live version of the song with Keith singing any backing vocals at any time during the song. Has anybody else?

Billy Preston did the backup vocals in '73 and '75/'76. As far as I know Keith never sang backup live on BS.

Keith was the true motor of the song. He put all his energy in whipping the powerful riffs out of his guitar, with Bill and Charlie panting only slightly behind. Let's thank him for doing such a wonderful job on his guitar and not waste any of his contageous energy on backing vocals.

How about the lead...???

... you mean in concert, of course; of course Keith sings glorious back-up on the studio versions.

Well actually I even meant only during Brown Sugar in concert. I love his backing vocals on songs like Let it bleed, Dead Flowers, YCAGWYW, et cetera et cetera et cetera in concert.
But on those high energy, riff driven songs like Brown Sugar I love the way he concentrates on being the FORCE of the band.

So that's Billy Preston singing backing vocals during the last chorus of "Brown Sugar" on Brussels Affair? I know Preston sings backup during the "yeah yeah yeah whoo!!!" part but the last chorus sounds like Keith to my ears. I could be wrong though.
