the Street Fighting Man multi tracks soloed.
Itching to hear this part.
It's way too short but awfully sweet. Someday I'd love to get an Eddie Kramer/George Martin like documentary where they go through the multitracks of classic Stones songs and show us how the music was put together from the individual tracks.

Yes indeed that would be great.
It would be especially interesting to hear the multitracks of some of the Brian era tunes where he added unorthodox instruments - Paint it Black, Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, et al,
and then have Keith, Charlie, and Mick talking about the significance of Brian's contribution (if they were willing).

While that would indeed be interesting, usually Brian's unorthodox instruments are pretty audible so it's pretty easy to hear what his contributions were. I'd actually be more interested in later periods where the track counts were getting up there and hearing how many doubled guitar and vocal parts were used to get that classic Stones sound. Soloing Micks and Keith's harmonies, Nicky's subtle piano stuff and Bill's bass parts.

Yes it would all be great.
My thoughts on the isolated and obviously audible Brian instruments was based more on the notion of hearing what Keith, Charlie, Mick, Bill, and producers, etc. would have to say regarding Brian's essential contributions with the hope that they might give some positive input and/or insight into his creativity within that still 'primitive' period in rock music history.
While most all bands and musicians of the period stuck to the traditional rock instruments (Beatles being an exception), Brian took it several levels way beyond the norm.
Dulcimer, Recorder, Sitar, Oboe, Mellotron, Marimba, sitar, brass, etc.,....what made Brian tick?

+ several other english bands (not just the Beatles) were experimenting with unusual instruments at the time. I don't think neither Beatles were first with recording the sitar, for instance.

Thank you!
Confirms what i've long suspected, the trap set drums sound quite small on the initial cassette recording. Adds a sound, but also helps keep time for the later overdubs. All the beef and big size of the drums on the finished recording comes from the overdubbed drums on the multi-track.
Can hear the sitar come in after a few bars, but Keith once again forgets that Brian played in to the cassette recorder at same time as he and Charlie.
Much appreciated dandie.

It was interesting and enjoyable but was really just a promo documentary for his new album. There was little we haven't all seen before besides the new album coverage.

Yes I agree it would be nice to get some specific long discussions from the Stones about his specific contributions on various songs. My theory on what made him tick is a combination of several things.
-Keith becoming more proficient on his guitar and writing the guitar parts, which Brian's ego pushed him away from playing what Keith told him to play or even second guitar parts based around Keith's main part.
-Brian being highly complimented for the odd stuff he did which reinforced his desire to continue down that road.
and
-General boredom with the guitar. Perhaps he had become as good as he wanted or ever imagined on it and was looking for stuff that challenged him a bit more. I know plenty of guitarists who have got to the point where they could play Stairway or Little Wing or whatever and then put the guitar down never to pick it up again. lol

hmm you also can hear the piano too though - are we sure what we are listening to is just what was played into the cassette recorder? or was it from later in the production.

In dandies clip we hear just what was on the cassette recording for the first 20 seconds or so.

True, I tried to convey that by saying:

Not THE exception, but an exception.
The Beatles are the first band that came to mind as an example of that, but I suppose I wasn't clear enough.
