There was a brilliant thread here a few years ago featuring hot debate on who contributed the slightly tentative but effective slide guitar. Everyone agreed that the skilful higher pitched whine that followed the slide riffs was BJ's melotron.

Why is it that so many of the Stones' -I really mean Jagger's- recent offerings sound like rehashes of Gunface on one of their latter albums this century ?

Paul QuoteAbout JJF being ‘recorded ‘in Holland Whoever made that comment on the more chunky twin guitar-heavy version of JJF said it was performed in Holland, not recorded.

Has anyone has a link to the Youtube of an alleged live performance of JJF in Holland with Brian Jones still in the line-up. The poster who mentioned it here on IORR said it sounded much more interesting and "guitar heavy" than the released single which was in 1968.
