On the song Let it bleed Keith is great of course but Mick's vocals is what makes it worthy.

superb album track and, in my book, among Mick Jagger's most impressive vocal efforts ever.
Unfortunately its subtle sleaziness does not seem to translate in a live setting, the "Stripped" version being a prime example. On "Stripped", this tune comes off as a generic hillbilly number which does not do any justice to the original.
The same could be said, by the way, about "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" which they sadly turned into a by-the-numbers Chuck Berry style R'n'R tune.

This song is essential in understanding what makes The Rolling Stones such a great rhythmic force on record. Play this track and then Tumbling Dice and it really really makes sense. True perfection with the tugging or push and pull of and with rhythm.

Keith was often in open D or E in that period. Could he have just tuned down to Open C for the slide ?

I don't know. In the very intro, that very first slide you hear, you can hear a low note, when he pulls off - and that note is a C. If you play it ( the whole song) in Open C, it makes so much sense; it's easy. And the one thing I have come to learn about Keith's playing: he always went the simple route.
I'm not talking about the main guitar, only the slide.
PS I knew it'd be you replying Dandy. It's kind of a drag, that these kind of guitar questions don't get much going anymore. All those great debates have already happened.

Actually, in 69 he didn't go the simple route with his slide playing. If so, he would have played chord pattern-slide on LIB, MR and MM. That's easy. Hitting the single notes on these songs are rather intricate, imo.
I can't remember the LIB-chords right now, but hitting the A string with a slide to do these two descending notes before Mick comes in with his acoustic (D-shaped chord with a capo?) could be how it went down, no matter which tuning?

It's in standard tuning. You can hear he's working on single strings. That's difficult, and sometimes he's a little off.
It's the same with Monkey Man and Midnight Rambler.
Love In Vain and You Got The Silver sound like open G.

I always thought that «stiff» acoustic was played by Jagger. Wasn't it?

Dandie probably knows this already.
Let it bleed: standard, capo on third.
Love in vain - standard, capo on third. You got the silver open E, capo on first. Monkey Man standard - capo on second. Rambler, standard, capo on seventh.

You Got The Silver is Open D with capo on the third.
