"More"? I was unaware they played it live at all.

I believe (along with 'Don't Lie To Me') it was originally credited to Jagger-Richards on Metamorphosis.

Credited to Jagger-Richards-Taylor I believe on the first pressing.
Please note that IDKW is only half a song...After the stop all you hear is a copy of the first part. Slide Solo, vocals, guitar etc -it's is a direct copy from before the splice.

B side of what? They'd already released their final Decca single by the time they recorded this.

Interesting. I wonder if originally it was just a jam / studio warm-up? It does seem strange that as late as 1969 they were covering a current or recent UK hit (it first entered the UK charts in March of that year).

- I Don't Know Why I (Stevie Wonder/Paul Riser/Don Hunter/Lula Hardaway) - STU
on piano, unknowns on brass; early mix of version II, recorded around the 30th June
- I Don't Know Why II (Stevie Wonder/Paul Riser/Don Hunter/Lula Hardaway) - STU
on piano, unknowns on brass; Metamorphosis-version, recorded around the 30th June
And they had an obligation to make one more.Quote

You seem the one wound tight...
Just pointing out facts, though perhaps "in theory" Stevie Wonder could've wrote it two years earlier & it could've been recorded at the Between The Buttons sessions. Would've made a great track for 'Flowers', don't you think?

Yes, a good cover. I dig Stevie's original too.

It's a brilliant Wonder vocal. He must go through three octaves, and then there's that amazing out-of-breath bit where he's just GASPING with the intensity of it. A fantastic performance.

Probably true....I can even hear in my head how a ABB live version of I Don't Why would sound - it's not good !

This song will fail when doing live, the song fits the Stones real well in '69 but not in '11
