Has anyone seen the version without the extra guitar dubbed in and without Brian's guitar turned down.
I would love to hear Brian play but can't find the other version anywhere.
Can someone help me?

"The version of YCAGWYW on the video 25x5 features a different mix and different footage than on the official ABKCO release..." Quote
I myself downloaded the documentary video "The Rolling Stones 25x5" from a torrent site. Forgotten which one. But I've checked it out and indeed on that video you also can hear Brian's guitar properly.

Majesty I really do appreciate you posting these tracks. I can hardly wait to listen to Brian because I could never really figure out who was playing what guitar part one the stones material up to Let it Bleed.
I take it from the picture you posted you have the black and white video. Would it be possible for you to post it also?

Pointless from what perspective?
In my opinion Jones was more of a purist than the others and wanted to keep things more roots orientated. In the audio you provided I really like his rhythmic styling on YCAGWYW which blends in great with the percussion work of Rocky Dijon and Watts. YCAGWYW is a simple song to begin with and I don't think Jones cared for it anyways (based on his facial expressions and body language). Since he did not show up to record the album cut I think I am right on the money. Also, his blues styling on PW is awesome and sounds nothing like Chuck Berry but more like Muddy Waters.
It's a shame that they did not perform Salt of the Earth of Jigsaw Puzzle on the video because I would have loved to see him play slide on one of those tracks.

I'm wondering if you're mistaking Keith parts for Brians? None of Brians playing is loud, just that it's easier to hear on the two versions I uploaded. Keiths guitar is upfront and has him playing lots of licks, riffs etc.
Pointless in that Brians YCAGWYW part doesn't make the song better. He's gently strumming 2 chords for the majority of the song which even on the more audible version doesn't really add anything. When the bass comes in Brians part gets pretty much drowned out. I don't think he cared for the song either.
Parachute Woman on the other hand sounds more complete with his Chuck Berry rhythm more audible. That is all he is playing on the song. I don't understand why they mostly mixed him out on the official release for that song.
Brian didn't play slide on the studio versions of the songs you mentioned, doubt he'd have played it live either had they played them.
