He plays the key riff on The Last Time which is good enough for me.

Don't rate Jones' guitar solos, what there is of them. Brian was undoudtedly a gifted musician but soloing was not his forte'.

In my humble opinion, Brian was a very mediocre guitarist, with only very basic chording skills. His slide playing was a bit better, but I have never rated it any higher than 'decent'. To play lead guitar, you need a bit more technical skill than Brian ever had -in my opinion.

That's exactly my point sleepy, I can only recall his slide playing and even that I don't rate so highly. He was ahead of the game for a white guy but others soon caught him up and surpassed him in that area.

Crumbling Mice, you're certainly entitled to your opinion (as we all are---and the MT years are my favorite as well).
But remember this, Mick Taylor has gone on record saying he learned how to play slide by comping "Little Red Rooster." So in the end, none of this really matters.

I was just going to say the same thing. Where did you hear a live version of Doncha Bother Me?

Did "Goin Home" or "Have Mercy" have slide on them in '67?

And now Im confused! Ive heard a song, live, with Brian on slide, from 1966 or 1967 - not Little red rooster - and Im almost certain its Doncha bother me or some other similar song. It's not a slow blues. I found it on youtube, maybe it was removed. Let's find it, I'll try again.
