Yes, for me his playing captures the end of the relationshipQuote

Brian’s. Opening and closing chords are classic, one of the best of the 1960s along with George Harrison’s opening note and closing notes on a Hard Days Night
I take it you mean It's All Over Now?

What if Brian had quit the band in 1968 and started a band with Jimmy Page and Hopkins. Sorta of like replacing Keith with Page.They’d need a vocalist.

Last August I had the great honour and privilege to meet up with Barbara, Brian's daughter, and a very kinda fella who allowed us to play some of the amazing and rare instruments in his collection.
In the photos Barbara and I are shown holding the only other known Vox Bijou dulcimer outside of Brian's and one of three white 1964 prototype Vox Phantom MKIII twelve string guitars. Brian Jones and Hilton Valentine had the other two.
Some of the other instruments we got to play was the first ever Vox peardrop/teardrop 6 string, as well as Vox mando guitars and two of Bill Wyman's basses.
An amazing day!

I think the CCR thing, along with many things relating to Brian, has been overblown through repetition and the gradual snowballing effect that comes from it.
Actual accounts of those that played with Brian, or attempted to, in June 1969 do not tell of such focused goals or potent music. Instead it's vague talked of ideas of songs that not even Alexis Korner got to hear, it's aimless jams with Brian coming and going from the music room at Cotchford, it's lots of prescribed drugs and alcohol.
In the following pages of Andrew's book, he goes in to the health side of things and the reality of what that meant...
"... A physical revival had been out of the question for a long time."
Pleurisy, liver and heart disease is no joke.
He is quite cutting and brutal, but is this all that wrong a point of view?
"The swimming pool was an incidental, thrown in for Brian's closing night, for Brian had, for a fatal length of time, been drowning under the influence if life."

His Majesty, do you think there are any recordings that exist in the Stones vaults or elsewhere of additional unreleased music Brian may have created for A Degree of Murder?
I really doubt it. One reason being he didn't even record enough for the film, the director had to re-use some of the exact same recordings in different places because of this. An argument could be made that this is quite common, re-using the same music in a film, but this is the directors pov and the music without repetition only comes in to about 20 minutes of music.
Some Morricone scores are about the same length.
