Thanks. I need to organize my RS collection so I can SEE it. I will look at the live version later.
The piano playing strikes seem to have more strength/ force than I would associate with Nicky Hopkins, whom of course I know/ love mainly from Exile a trillion times.

I had been saving my ‘Black Box’ CD2 for a long drive, which I took yesterday.
Imagine my surprise at last 2 tracks
‘Still A Fool’ and then
‘You Got The Silver’ Mick Jagger lead vocal.
Yes I shed a tear.
Beautiful.

Wow again the piano. All played together in a room at the same time? No over dubs?
Someone ask a Glimmer please to clarify piano!!

It's from Olympic, not Redlands.

A live performance in the studio, no dubs. Brian playing slide, Nicky playing piano.

For some reason, Stu opted not to or was not asked to play piano in the studio during 1967 - 1968. He doesn't play on any known 1967 or 1968 studio recording.

Thank You
The piano uncertainty started to drive me crazy (again I just discovered the song yesterday, listened to it repeatedly thereafter)
Thank You for confirming all in 1 room. The back and forth harmonica and piano seems unlikely any other way, but I guess I got suspicious!
The fact that I read Bill Wyman selected the tracks helped me justify this very smart purchase.

Yes I’ve heard Muddy Water’s ‘Still A Fool’
I went through RS recent release ‘Confession The Blues’ on my last long drive too
But I am quite partial to Mick Jagger’s singing and harmonica
What can I say,
OUTSTANDING

Still haven't looked at the live Amsterdam 1995 version, what’s more, quite sure I own it lol

Mick Jagger sounds like Bob Dylan when he comes in on the song lol, fantastic! I've never understood the hype with Brian's slide playing (except for No Expectations and I Wanna Be Your Man). His playing is whatever here. Not great but not terrible. Keith's gnarly and dirty licks in this are pretty good as well.

There's nothing much to Brian's slide playing technically (or any of the stones playing), but it pretty obviously fits in and adds to the sound and feel of the recording.

It's one of last authentic blues recordings by the real Rolling Stones we have and probably the last recording of Brian and Keith truly interacting on guitars.

Bill Wyman
"Nicky Hopkins was probably the greatest piano player I ever performed with, both for his many years working with the Rolling Stones, and recording with him later for the Rhythm Kings and at charity concerts. He was a genius. I visited his home in San Francisco, and during ‘Exile On Main Street’ sessions in the South of France, he would stay at my house. Once in Olympic Studios, Ian Stewart played Nicky & I the first track of the new Delaney & Bonnie album, and Nicky went into the studio and played the entire thing perfectly after just one hearing. Ian Stewart turned to me and said, ”That's what I don’t like about Nicky Hopkins."”

Obviously, it can't be seen everywhere...
Enjoy if you can...

Still A Fool is some of the finest stuff they ever recorded. Should be released as it is - no tampering! It's brilliant thumbs up

The 1995-version is also very good.

This is awesome - you can hear everyone's contribution on the record - all instruments and vocals just blast in your face upfront.

The production is better than moonlight and Winter ( just barely)LOL

Hubert Sumlin - Still a Fool (ft. Keith Richards)
[m.youtube.com]


Recording With Hubert Sumlin and Keith Richards
Rob Fraboni
[robfraboni.com]
“We could never beat that mix. We used that as the mix, what I put on that CD recorder. That was the mix of the song. There were no overdubs at all. On that thing that was done for Hubert’s record, “Still a Fool,” recorded in the same way as the Wingless Angels and “You Win Again.” For all intents and purposes, it was live.”

Absolutely Nicky on piano. The way he play one-tone blues. Just listen to the piano solo in Jeff Beck's Blues Deluxe, and the end of Ventilator Blues. Hell of a jam!!
