Assume he knows this and meant live, but still, no doubt, you can't beat the Beggars version! The entire song is great but the solo brings it to the 'brilliance' level.

Apart from the studio version:
Oslo 1st show 1990.
But the LYL-solos are my faves.

But of course the 1969 solos are probably better.

I disagree. They sound like they're played by a beginner and once Taylor takes off he puts Richards' effort to shame.

I wouldn't call Keith a beginner, in 1969. There is such a thing as style. Steve Vai puts Mick Taylor to shame. But not everyone likes to listen to Steve Vai as if thats the only way a guitarist should play (personally I consider Steve Vai the least musically gifted player I know, yet he plays lots of notes).
Say, Robert Johnson was beginner too?

I prefer Satriani, and Jeff Beck, to Steve Vai. Plus John McLaughlin.

agreed; that slashing guitar work is profound and thuddingly spectacular, as far as emotion and 'mean it!" goes, imo too.
also, for me anyway, the "Liver Than You'll Ever Be" performance (of both Keith and Mick Taylor) was profound to me. This was prior to GYYYO live (studio - 'fixeed,' in post-production).
K starts out engagingly slow-grind with hanging whole notes, approaching it
simple and emotional, then extending it in a manner that engaged me with it's
flow and tumble-weed-type extentions; he playing much more melodically then
the lethally slashing studio performance on Banquet...
...cool thread, I'm going to follow some of those suggestions and hopefully find some really cool goes at it.

The Get Yer Ya Ya's Out version is by far my favourite. The contrast with Mick Taylor's solo (also brilliant) is, I think, particularly appealing. The studio version however, is somehow the measure by which to judge the other versions, perhaps because it is -in my opinion- the best version of the song anyway.

Mick, Jimmy and Keith took this and turned it into something great. Keiths solo is fantastic.

Mick Taylor had the best solo on Ya Ya's

Naturally...
Semi-OT but the 1975 versions are quite interesting : the NYC ones all suck. But by the time the band hits L.A. they've managed to turn the song into an exciting show closer. Exciting enough to warrant an inclusion on LYL.
I love this band!!!!
