I'm also not understanding how "Dead Flowers" is recycled. It was first worked on at the end of '69. The same time "Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, and "You Gotta Move" were recorded. There are a handful of "recycled" Stones songs over the years. Where the problem lies is what I'm having trouble figuring out.
When and where was Dead Flowers first recorded? I always assumed sometime in 1970 at Olympic.
I just realized they first started playing it out on the 1970 tour of Europe. I always assumed it was first performed in 1971 during the British tour. It's one of those songs that has a definite studio vs stage version. The studio version is country western, while the live version is much more southern rock. I wrote a short paper on that in grad school, actually.

Anybody else think the Sticky Fingers version of Dead Flowers is the 1969 version with new (1970) Keith Richards guitar parts and Jagger/Richards vocals?

There are guitar parts on the LP version that are from the 1969 version, if that indeed is what this one is - and the drums are the same.

That is correct.
"Sister Morphine" is an outtake from LET IT BLEED. Cut in February 1969.
"Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses," and "You Gotta Move" are from Muscle Shoals in December 1969.
First version of "Dead Flowers" was cut in December 1969 in London.
The album version along with "Bitch," "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," and "I Got the Blues" were cut in Spring 1970.
"Sway" and "Moonlight Mile" were cut on the Mobile in June 1970. Overdubs were completed October 1970 following the European tour.
All songs were written and arranged before July 1970.
Letting the album sit until the ABKCO management contract term, the Decca Records contract, and London Records contract terms ended is why they have STICKY FINGERS. Likewise releasing the album in April 1971 in a new tax period after they have gone into tax exile.
The tax exile that gives us EXILE ON MAIN STREET. Keith having called the French Riviera "Main Street."
If you skip the CBS discs and get the original Atlantic LP and cassette from either the US or UK, you'll notice the lapping tongue logo is matched with matrix numbers starting with the rude prefixes COC, CUN, or CS all being descriptors for the lapping tongue. These tie into the "CS Blues" rejected single for Decca from the same era.
This, however, is purely esoteric.

The only other Wild Horses-video they have released officially is LA Forum. No wonder they chose the Knebworth clip

You mean from those days you when they still looked relatively young and sexy...

The live acoustic version of WH they did in 94-95 in a Japanese studio is one the best.

Why are Townshend and Lane and Nicholas listed as musicians? What did they do.
