Okay, now we’re cooking with gas!! And man, ain’t Parachute Woman just 2 minutes and 21 seconds of sonic perfection?!! Those electric and acoustic guitars, weaving together like they are telepathically connected. Charlie and Bill’s swingin’ rhythm section, locked perfectly in sync. Those wonderful notes from Brian’s harp providing the depth and color that he was such a genius at. Mick’s vocals and lyrics, lecherous yes but also so wonderfully abstract and enigmatic. Jimmy Miller’s production, so crisp and pure. And the crowning touch … Mick’s harp at the end. That first, sustained train-whistle of a note from his harp is just so glorious and lonesome and exciting and heartbreaking and riveting. And then it yields, the rest of his solo being no less brilliant, exorcising the demons from his soul and from ours …
The blues at its finest, from what is arguably the Stones’ most perfect LP …

Pretty similar riff.

This early track from Neil Young kind of reminds me of Parachute Woman. Besides the obvious titular similarity (LOL), they are musical cousins as well, even right down to the harp.

Not really , thats more a typical imo overrated boogie riff.
PW is something else.

In the Rock n Roll Circus version, I hear everything clearly--Bill's bass (almost distorting), even the percussion--but no Brian, and he's "playing" a larger sized guitar than Keith, but Keith's is the only guitar I can hear. Were they turning him down for the set, even though he did well on No Expectations from the clip I remember seeing? Bill is even on camera in this track (Parachute Woman) more than Brian. At one point, as the clip heads to the 1:20 mark, Brian is excluded from the camera stage angle altogether and it's just a view of Mick, Bill, Keith, Charlie, and the percussionist. It isn't 1965 anymore in this clip, is it?

....Come to think of it, doesn't Ry Cooder enter the Stones' story around the time of Beggars Banquet, with the start of "roots rock"?

The two outtakes show Brian was audible at the time, in the venue, but aside from No Expectations and maracas on Sympathy he's been mixed down lower on the other tracks for the official release.
Given that his playing on Parachute Woman is fine, mixing him low afterwards seems to be an odd thing to do as it makes the band look and sound odd.

Very odd.

what does he scream between the 2d and the 3d verse?
Is it "Damn" ?

It's "I'll make my play (or my bread) in Dallas" not "my blow"

I always thought it was "dive". A play on skydiving and muffdiving! ><
