Going Home? Slick and uninspired? For 1966? It's monumentally long and kind of gutsy for 1966. Who was putting out 11 minute jam numbers in 1966.fills.

I think MR is a natural progression of GH. There are parts (and sounds) in the studio recording of MR that could have been on GH. Although MR is a tad faster. both songs are blues tunes that evolve with different parts - albeit slightly differently: MR has more different parts musically. GH has more going on emotionally and dynamically.
Both songs are essentially jams.

I agree with Dandelion.
The reason why I like Midnight Rambler better is mainly because of sound. I guess in 1966, it was still not that common to have a more "in your face" loud distorted guitar sound but as a matter of fact, the studio version of Midnight Rambler is still relatively "mild", compared to the Get Yer Ya Ya's Out version. Which makes me wonder how Going Home could have sounded in a live version, in the years post-1968.
In any case, both songs have great licks, great ad-libs by Mick and an interesting interaction between the band members.

Did they keep the first minutes or looked for the best part of the jam ?

I don't hear any similarities with Midnight Rambler, although it creates the same
atmosphere here and there. Having said that I feel that "Going Home" sounds uninspired, safe and slick to me. The final cut would almost make it to an ABBA album.

I've always thought there was a connection between these two songs. The length of going home does seem odd and comes out of nowhere but I think it signals a change that was in the air. Its their first step into psychedelia.

I'd say that Midnight Rambler came out of playing all those Bo Diddley songs in their early days.
And I reckon the reason a demo of it has never surfaced is because it was pretty much worked up on the spot in the studio and grew from a loosening up, Bo Diddley inspired jam. Almost like an inverted Cops'n'Robbers.
