This whole track including the piano playing sounds 2020 to me.
Jagger can play this way on his own as evidenced in solo and band outtakes.

I'm thinking so, as well, and the keyboard doesn't sound like a keyboard/piano from the 70s, but from modern times. And by doing overdubbing the piano one time, adding them little notes, Mick could be playing everything. And I agree with Powderman, Nicky Hopkins would be playing a lot more complicated if he would be doing it.

I wouldn't put it past him. Wasn't it obvious that Following the River was a completely new tune for the Exile deluxe?

Both Mick and Nicky are credited for piano.

But honestly, there are three bass players and Jim Horn on flute for "Dancing with Mr. D" (Glyn Johns 1973 Mix)...
I wouldn`t rely on the credits - but on my ears (as a musician & pianist):-)

If you can’t hear the flute in Mr D, I question your ears! It backs the slow dangerous guitar riff! Very Tull!

No way is this 2020 vocals. I'm sorry, have you listened to Following the River and Plundered My Soul? All the Rage? Do you know what Jagger sounds like these days?
Also, "the piano doesn't sound 1972". These engineers are using 2020 software plug-ins to mix these songs. It's not hard to alter a source if you're working with the multi-tracks, which they are.
It's definitely two people on piano, whether an overdub or two on the same piano. It could be Jagger and Richards, or it could be Jagger and Hopkins. The parts aren't incredibly hard. Hell, it could be Jagger and Taylor.

2020 Mick does a good impression of GHS era Mick, but there are some tells.

You´re right with changing the sound - but the thing is: you can´t change the "feel" how the piano was played. And that´s Jagger for sure. The main piano. If you listen to "Hide your love" - the same way of playing and the same touch on the piano.
And yes, the other person is someone else. it doesn't have to be a good piano player - it´s not that difficult :-)

What's your interpretation of the 'just gazin' at some dragon in the sky' lyric?
As a teenage stoner in the 90s when I first heard it, it meant looking up at the clouds and seeing different shapes. What was Jags trying to say?

It also makes me think of that poster from the Cardiff and Pembroke castles shows in 1973.
Was anybody at those concerts? Care to share some recollections?

According to Jagger its him and Keith on piano. Vocals are 1970's to me. But it doesn't sound like a demo to me, it sounds like something they did after they wrote and recorded the track.
Funny thing is that some collectors had this version for several years, but discarded it as solo Mick Jagger from the 80's....
