Trivia Question: Have they ever not played this song since?

The song was also featured in the movie Gimme Shelter in 1970, so it had quite a bit more audience exposure before becoming a hit a year later.
"Anybody in? Is my local groupie in?.... Hello, darling! How are you?...."

Larry was with Commander William Lewis Herndon on the ill fated ship that sunk off the Carolina coast in the 1800's. Sadly, there were no survivors. Happily, Larry was able to hear the debut of Brown Sugar during the 1792 tour.

I really don't understand all the enthusiasm for the studio Brown Sugar. It's a very good song indeed, but it's played quite boring on the studio album. It could have been so much better in the guitar section. When you've heard it a couple of times you know it all and it never surprises you again, whereas the live versions during the Taylor era are always fresh and there's always something new to hear.
