Played live twice in Europe 1973, in Vienna and in Mannheim. Recordings of both are available.
The Vienna version is hot, Mannheim chaotic, to put it mildly. Billy Preston did not
manage to get Nicky's pianowork right in both occasions, if you ask me.
Impressive wah wah solo by Mick Taylor, that for some reason was faded out on the album.
I would have left the band too, if they did that to my solo....

And rehearsed many times in Rotterdam.

Hell, I lived only 6,6 km away from De Doelen at the time.
Being a six year old kid, I had no idea... If only I could turn back time.

I listened this morning, I don't hear that Taylor's great solo was faded.

I think they meant that the song was faded, and that Taylor probably would have played on if they hadn't faded it

They faded it out for release, but on the original recording there´s an extra hour of Taylor noodling and noodling and noodling. The other Stones had dinner during Taylor´s endless noodling. When they came back Keith cut Taylor´s part using a scissor and dumped it, so it´s lost forever.

100 Years Ago is one of the very few very good tracks on lame GHS. Actually I like the funky instrumental part better than the slow part. Very good song, but great? No way.

I would say it's great for us Stones-nerds. However, it would be very hard to turn on a non-Stones fan to this track.
It remains a great, but deep, cut...

I would think(hope) a non-Stones fan would be pleasantly surprised with this song.
BTW, I always thought(based on Keno's site) that Keith had no involvement with 100 Years Ago. Based on today's revelation I now have a better appreciation of this album. It's not so much the Jagger solo album I thought it was.

Seeing that a non-Stones fan thinks it's not great and thinks GHS is lame...

Perhaps or arguably the best song on GOATS HEAD SOUP it is certainly a great track on a fantastic album. It's criminal that it's been completely ignored by the band.
Well, except for those two times in 1973.

It´s a very good track indeed, but Star Star, Hide Your Love, Heartbreaker are better by far. More than half of GHS is subpar and boring material that should have stayed in the can, but they had a contract to fullfill. Most of the songs were hardly or never played live because they knew they were no good.

Which would probably explain why they play just about everything from Dirty Work all the time.

That's just a myth, as Keith is very much present on GHS. Not always on the thrashing open G-guitar, though. There would be less of that throughout the 70s.
However, these are the facts:
Riff/rhythm guitar and backing vocals on Dancing With Mr. D
Bass on 100 Years Ago
The vocals and guitars on Coming Down Again
Bass and backing vocals on Heartbreaker (also credited on some sites on guitar, but, not sure about that...)
Acoustic guitar on Angie
Rhythm guitar and backing vocals on Silver Train
Bass on Hide Your Love
Missing in action on Winter (credited on some places on guitar, but that's Jagger)
Rhythm guitar and backing vocals on Can You Hear The Music
Lead guitar and backing vocals on Star Star
