If I should compare, though, I'd say that JJF, LIV, SFM are superior on the their respective studio albums.

What was JJF's studio album??? ;-)

Through The Past, Darkly? winking smiley

Yes actually it was. That's great compilation. I dont know if the songs are but the packaging and timing. The timing maybe not but sort of. Maybe they could have compiled a totally Brian focused LP in his honor but then that wouldnt sincere. Maybe the sleeve was fitting. Very cool timeless cover.

Of course I dont own a copy, instead I bought the pile of shite compilation from Decca with the much sought after studio version of JJF. What was the name of that? Gimme Shelter.

Live Stray Cat Blues better than studio version? Super lolz.

"Stray Cat Blues" turns out to be one of those brilliant re-imaginings for the Live Stage, by the Stones. On "Banquet" the song gets a wonderful studio treatment. The stinging guitar, but more than that it is that rolling rhythm underneath from Rocky Dijon and Nicky Hopkins. The Bass is very clean, sounds like played with pick. So there is a LOT of air between the lower and upper register. The guitars are pure Keith from that era. BB version also seems speeded up.
On Yayas, you have Taylor now, and only two guitars. They slow it down, and the guitars are heavier, crunchier, and closer together. Keith plays the main chord sequence completely different.
The guitars on Ya-Yas have great personal meaning to me. They were life changing. It opened up a new world to me when I realized how the two guitars would unite on the A chord for a bar or two, only to have Taylor take flight again; while Keith stayed down low.
And to this day if someone asks me for my favorite electric guitar ever, it is Keith behind Taylor in this song's guitar solo segment. The solo on the Gibson is great enough, but Keith chopping away back there with only style, technique and volume is the bee's knees. you can take all your fuzz boxes and tube screamers, but this particular sound is all balls.

I love both versions of Stray Cat Blues but the studio version is very special indeed.

It's one of those all too rare moments where the Stones jump out of their comfort zone and enter a whole new experimental area altogether.

The last minute or so goes into this fabulous white out, reminiscent of what the Velvet Underground were trying to achieve on tracks like European Son or Black Angel's Death Song. Overdriven guitars, and a feeling of controlled chaos.

The studio version of Stray Cat Blues is so kick ass - it's dirty rocking and filthy rolling with the tempo picking up pace throughout.
It's like a giant wave that forms and then keeps pushing forward, keeping you up on the edge, about to go over the falls,
then suddenly crashing which it does with the extended coda...all washed up upon the shore wondering what the hell just happened.

I love the locomotive beat that underpins Ya-ya's from start to finish. Rolling and tumbling...lurching...down the track....with one whistle stop.

Needless to compare Live to Studio, In the studio you can experiment for months and release when you reached your goal. Live you rehearse first and then deliver on the spot. Different approach, artistically.

But even Keith has said at times that the songs get better when played live. So that's why the comparison. Especially when something turns out so different, like the various live versions of JJF, SFTD, YCAGWYW, SFM, Under My Thumb, a few others.

Comparing live vs studio is totally valid and worthwhile, but just because something turns out different doesn't necessarily means that it's better, and just because Keith said at times the songs get better when played live doesn't necessarily mean they are. Maybe to him they are, but isn't better or worse subjective and all a matter of personal opinion? While there are many great variations and live versions of the songs you mention, I would still say the studio versions are the ultimate superior versions (deja vu as I think we've been down this path not too long ago ha). And for proper context, Keith said that quote when discussing the On Air release and all of those early tunes they used to play. Some might have been recorded badly with primitive tools in a sterile studio setting without much of their input, but when they had the chance to unleash them live, they became "better" according to him. Not sure if he's ever talked about later songs getting "better" in a live setting, but sounds like something he might say about all Stones songs.

They did do some work to get it so down and dirty -Keith overdubbed his guitar on the choruses (Oh yeah!) and the solo. Listen with headphones and you can hear the change of sound and he changes to open D.

Some clips were posted here a few years ago of parts of SCB that sounded suspiciously like open tuning overdubs.

I don't hear it either. What amazes me though is how they (Richards and Taylor) got that heavy distorted guitar sound. On the MSG footage they go straight into the ampegs. SCB starts clean and ends up almost "heavy metal", soundwise.

To that degree? I remember cranking up my Ampeg vt22 at the time to 9, using a Les Paul with EMG pickups and it still was almost clean, had to use a TS to get significant distortion.

It's true that not all songs are better or get better live. Undercover Of The Night is a perfect example of something not being better. Neighbours is another.

But Start Me Up, at least in 1989/90 was way better. Midnight Rambler... Shattered in 1994 was killer. But yes, it's all subjective. But sometimes it's just obvious.

Some amps, old ones anyway, will do that as the tubes get hot.

Exactly.

And we can hear them crank up the volume on several shows from that era. Sometimes with a tremendous feedback smiling smiley

They have cranked amps with distorted sound that gets cleaner when turning the volume down (like in the beginning of SCB or LIV).

It didn't work so well with Fenders in smaller clubs on the 1971-tour, though..

Mathijs, I don't hear that. I hold your technical knowledge in very high esteem, and there have been many times when your input has made me re-evaluate my point of view, and in the process taught me quite a bit.
But listening to his parts on that song, and I have countless times, I believe that it is straight performance. It may be a case of overthink. There really are not all that many guitar o/d on Yayas IMO. And the ones that do exist - are very well for technical reasons.
I myself have come pretty close to getting a sound like that going into an Ampeg, going from that rough chopping in verses to full chords, all out strumming, at high volume. Also - the phrasing just doesn't sound Open D IMo. I have only my sense to go on, but it doesn't seem that Keith used Open D for such full power chord part.
When he would strum chords in Open D it was on acoustic guitars, on electric he added color.

Yes, the SVT's from 69 to about 74 have a mid boost that works as a negative feedback, meaning you add drive and distortion. But still, you'd have to turn them up past 5 to get them cranked. We tried it once on stage with an early 70's SVT, and the volume was simply mind blowing, and truly not workable on modern stages.

The overdrive on the '68/'69 was different though than on later versions. There's a bit more treble, and they overdrive faster due to different tubes and tube biassing, they ran much more hot than later versions. From 1970 on they started to sound darker, and with a lower growl. The versions they used on the 1975 tour were actually V-9's, which was the guitar version of the SVT. These had a much more 'modern' sound, more like an overdriven Fender Tweed or Boogie.

More in this thread.

And listen to the change in sound (especially how the chords ring) round the 0:12-mark.. I'd say open E.
