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.
Absolutely. I also feel it has been a bit of a let down because the BB version is so electrifying and sets your teeth on edge. The Get Yer Ya Yas version isn't bad though.
Studio
LYL
All the other 1975/76 versions
But of course the 1969 solos are probably better. I love Keiths 1969 rhythm/main motif but prefer the 75/76 versions.
I disagree. They sound like they're played by a beginner and once Taylor takes off he puts Richards' effort to shame.
On the contrary, Taylor's solo compliments Keith's style. Those solos are perfect together.
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.
Satriani was Vai's guitar teacher.
Once again, these claims of post production on GYYO are blown wildly out of proportion, and in this case, a flat out falsehood. NOTHING was "fixed" on Sympathy except one verse was dropped for time considerations. Love Hopkins posts for the most part, but I feel weirdly compelled to set the record straight every time I hear/see this stuff repeated.
You don't give up, do you?
Those three chords are the second most common chord pattern in the world (only beaten by the 12 bar blues).
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!!!!
It helped switching a stoned Keith from bass to guitar, though...
Talk about your favorite band.

You may disagree, but that is OK. I always have liked this performance. To get it, go to YouTube, and search for Stones imax Sympathy.

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

I've always loved the Rock And Roll Circus performance. I've never heard him play it that way other than there and its such a ferocious solo thats all Richards and so different from the studio version which was so newly released that I always love 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.

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?

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.

Dallas 1989 is first. So fierce. I don't know how many times I've listened to it, I'm stunned everytime.
Atlantic City is (close) second, but a little bit too "polished" (compared to Dallas) and the guitar on my Swingin'Pig bootleg is distant. Hopefully the Vault release will correct that (Eagle people, please make an effort on the mix!).
Imax is also excellent, even if I suspect it might be overdubbed.
Anyway, IMHO the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle era was the best for Keith SFTP solos. I don't know if the band let him express himself for as long as he liked but it sure looks/sounds like it!
