-Hmm, that "Shalalala-bap-bap" fits nicely, but have they ripped it from somewhere?

Wish it was actual live apart from vocals.

Did Brian play the piano on the studio version? There is a video of him playing the marimbas on that song when they were recording it in the studio.1967,a year of so many great songs the band released.Ruby Tuesday, Let’s Spend the Night Together, Connection ,She Smiled Sweetly, Yesterday’s Papers, Back Street Girl, Sitting on a Fence, She’s a Rainbow , 2000 Light Years,Dandelion ,We Love You.

I've read he played organ and Jack Nitzsche plays piano.

Only Mick's and Keith's vocals are live, the rest is playback. Also the piano. Jack Nietzsche did the studio recordings. Brian played organ. It was the beginning of his fading as a musician withe few exceptions in the coming time that was left for him.

As far as we know, all piano parts on Stones tracks until February 1967 were played by either Ian Stewart or Jack Nitszsche. Some tracks are open for debate: She Smiled Sweetly is either Nitszsche or Richards, Let's Spend was partially Keith on piano.

The big debate to date is Ruby Tuesday -According to Richards, Oldham and Jagger, Richards wrote it and Nitzsche played piano, but there's this short video clip with Brian playing the piano part in his home. The piano part is fairly easy, and could have been played by Jones.
