The 75/76 versions and yes maybe LA stood out are among the most exciting new. Expressions. Ramblers lost h its menace (still good of course) from 1972 and also 73 and SFTD didnt make up for it but offered a new soundtrack to the fans.
Those two solos are very different in style, though.
For a «Berry»-solo, Hang Fire or She Was Hot might be better than Bitch, imo.

100% agree.
I agree. This (I think) was edited for Flashpoint, right?

Especially at and after 4:18 - shades of Miami 1994!!!!

The way he played it starting in 1989 and ever since is the 3 note strangling a cat and chicken version, so far removed from how it was from 1969 through 1976 when he actually played it that is just a lot of noise.
FLASHPOINT one is from 2-26-1990. Is that the VAULT show?
Second that!

You can’t buy a piece of planet Keith, you can put on a bandanna and maybe a skull ring and bang out a reasonable facsimile but you’ll always just be a tourist.
Yeah I'd go along with that.
Nothing fixed about Sympathy on GYYO. It's exactly what was played, except a verse was edited out. The guitars are just as they were that night.
LA =epic
Hard to listen to anything post 2003..sorry... just is... I’m a big advocate when reminded of these major performances that they need to scale shows down and do it differently now ...
Talk about your favorite band.

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!!!!

Not by any means the best, but Keith deserves more props for casually nailing it in 2018. Second one especially. Took me by surprise and I sort of failed to appreciate it on the spot.

And Joe Satriani is a big Keith Richards fan.
He said in an interview with Guitarist magazine that he'd love to be Keith Richards for a day.
He knows there's more to being a guitar player than practising scales and playing a hundred notes per second.

I love the melody he plays at Altamont and in '69 in general. To me, thats pure Richards. He makes it sound so dangerus and at the same time fragile. Noone else play like that! I agree that Taylors solo is complementing Keth's aproach. Also, the way Keith start playing rythm on MT's solo is wonderful. What a guitar duo!!!

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.
100% agree.

There've been great renditions over the years, several mentioned in this thread, but none of them could beat the orginal solo(s) on the Beggars Banquet version. Sorry Keith.

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.
Satriani was Vai's guitar teacher.
There are guys who own their own planet in the guitar playing universe.
Satriani and Vai own small pieces of real estate in a world created by Eddie Van Halen.
You can’t buy a piece of planet Keith, you can put on a bandanna and maybe a skull ring and bang out a reasonable facsimile but you’ll always just be a tourist.

Beggars Banquet
unmatched.
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.

Mick Taylor circa 1973 would have blown Steve Vai off the stage.And I like Ron Woods guitar playing on the1975 tour a lot more than Joe Satriani’s playing on the Jagger down under tour.For a virtuoso he didn’t seem so great on Jagger’stourQuote

"If Keith's solo presents a primordial Lucifer, Taylor's presents the Prince of Darkness in all his splendor, majestic and beguilingly playful." (Shamefully quoting myself)

Like Some Guy said the Ya-Yas version is stellar. especially coupled with Taylor's blistering solo behind him. One could look at the two solos as one long section; with Keith laying the groundwork. And yes - once someone knows the notes he played, it is not too hard to reproduce. But first someone has got to write it.
And it just is not that easy to come up with these baSIC iconic lines, and settle with them.
