Thanks for all your great analyses about Brian's contributions! It's always interesting and great fun to read, still after all these years of Stones listening.

As a follow up to my Rock and Roll Circus posts, here's two alternate takes of Parachute Woman and You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Brian played near enough the same exact guitar parts as he did for the officially released takes. I've added my 'essentials of' demonstrations as ear guides.
Parachute Woman
Does Brian play guitar on the studio version?Quote

Good rendition. A pity Brian didn't play slide on this.

The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday - Hyde Park, London - July 2013:
Ruby Tuesday is my favourite Rolling Stones song, studio recording and features my favourite recorded performance and contribution by Brian Jones.
The Rolling Stones - 'Sweet Summer Sun' DVD features a great live performance of Ruby Tuesday. One of the things that I love about this particular performance is Tim Ries's interpretation of Brian's original recorder melodies, but played on soprano saxophone. All very connected as soprano saxophone was a favourite instrument of Brian's in the last 2 years of his life.
For me, Tim played wonderfully, capturing some of the emotion of the original recording, Brian's performance, and beautifully projecting the sense of loss and wonder that relates to the song itself, but also to Brian Jones, the creator of those beautiful melodic lines.
Thank you Tim.

From this interview he sounds like he was still involved in the recordings with the band.He sounds intelligent and that he was not so messed up that he couldn’t have gotten himself together had he lived.He was only in his twenties when he died.I think Mick and Keith exaggerate how messed up his when he died as if it was inevitable..Maybe they felt guilty for firing him and then him dying a month laterQuote

Is it true Brian went all the way to the Monterey Festival just to introduce Hendrix to the audience.And was there ever a thought of him playing at the concert
Yes, but he also treated it as a short holiday. No suggestion he had any intention of playing. He was part of a sing along jam backstage though.

Brian's rhythm guitar becomes audible at about 58 seconds in to the recording.
Line up:
Brian Jones - rhythm guitar
Mick Jagger - vocals
Keith Richards - guitar (main riff, fills & solos)
Bill Wyman - bass guitar
Charlie Watts - drums
Nicky Hopkins - piano
Rocky Dzidzornu - maracas
Demonstration showing the essentials of Brian's guitar part:
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Mick plays acoustic guitar, which seems to distract him from his vocals a bit. Brian's basic part comes in at about 1 minute when they go to the D chord.
Line up:
Brian Jones - rhythm guitar
Mick Jagger - vocals & acoustic guitar
Keith Richards - guitar (main riff, fills and solos)
