This may have been posted already, but FYI the current playboy has a feature article on Brian, focusing on the "murder" investigation.

Beggars Banquet; it states brian plays slide guitar, mellotron, sitar, tamoura, and harmonica... I know he play's on Street Fighting Man, Dear Doctor, No Expectations. But how much of his influence is actually ON Beggar's, which leads into my 2nd question. But what about the REST of B.B. where is he and what is he playing?
Since the material for Beggar's & L.I.B. were bascially recorded concurrently and there is little presence of Brian on L.I.B. Could there be matierial he was not credited for? ( case in point for this being possible Mick T.)

I mean where does the line end/begin for songwriting credit?

Brain plays Conga's on Midnight Rambler
Autoharp on You Got the Silver
Oddly enough I don't see him credited on Y.C.A.G.W.Y.W. BUT he play's it live
at the Circus
And that's exactly the part where the studio version outshines the live version from Ya-Ya's!Quote

i believe it's Mathijs who's noted a couple of times that it's a timpani or something a lot like that
accompanying the assault after each line in the "well you heard about the Boston ..." section

>> Anyway, the credits aren't all that reliable regarding who truly wrote the song in question <<
and they're even less reliable about who was paid what, or why - that point is often overlooked
when fans speculate about who they think "deserves" what.
meanwhile, Brian talked some about wanting to write songs but lacking the confidence to present stuff to the group.
i've never heard/read about him complaining that the band used his ideas without crediting him for it.
maybe they did, but is there evidence that Brian felt he deserved credit he wasn't getting?
(concepts about these things have changed a lot in the last 40 years,
and it really doesn't make sense to try to apply current thinking about them retrospectively.)
