It seems that that digging guitar that comes out right after the very first chorus is missing in the official video mix but it is in the one below.

Offical





The best sounding one of all of them so far - it must be a different mix:





Some radio version. Acoustic guitar is panned elsewhere:





Stones In Exile video version - it's the same as the official it sounds like:





Any others?

The alternate mix sounds way better. Hope that's gonna be on the album.

Thanks Skippy! So many different versions. I'm curious which one is on the Exile Bonus CD. Just a few days waiting. Tension is growing.

Thanks for this! Also the backing vocals start later on the official video.

While there obviously are different mixes out there (guitar lick missing after 1.st chorus)....
but comparing the sound & mix between youtube clips is a nono really.
there's no reference to anything. we don't know the source, the bitrate, the YT compression... no nuttin'.
I'll wait when I have the CD at hand.

the first clip has the volume hitting the 0dB mark through my soundcard.

1.st = -10 dB stereo
2.nd = 0 db stereo
3.rd = -3 dB stereo, cut off start and a delayed ghost start, missing part near end, radio recording.
4.th = -10 dB mono!

jack sparrow on air guitar... inevitable.

IMHO what is apparently the official version of the song sounds kind of flat compared to the earlier version with taylor's licks more prominent in the mix and the backing vox entering the song quicker.

this da best verzioni

Don't those Italians breath when they are talking

Oh come on Open-G - you don't need hi-fi to listen to the MIX, just a bit of volume. Things are going to stick out or they aren't. Goddamn, you make it sound like youtube is equivalent to listening to music through the string in a soup can.

Huh? well since you're talking about soup cans - what do you prefer?
hot or cold soup? ...and can you compare them?

Lets just agree that clip #2 sounds best and has mo' Taylor in it.

OK ha ha. Just trying to figure out how many different mixes there are. So far I've only noticed two.
