Well of course Keith was on original.Ronnie never has done a version and I dont believe Keith and his Winos ever did any Stones besides Happy.. Connection and Gimmeshelter..Welcome to the board!

Mel Belli I seem to remember a version with Keith singing. Backed by Mayall's band? Alexis Korner's? In the '70s?

So what is the question, the song is Get of off my cloud, & there would have to be a good drummer like Charlie to do it, it's one of the first rock songs to have drumming at the beginning as the lead instrument, the only other time was "Billion Dollar Babies" with Neal Smith from Alice Cooper Band doing it, both fine drummers, but Charlie really changed the drums in Rock 'N' Roll for all time, Ringo was good, but he didn't have the freedom that Charlie had, what he did was fantastic as a drummer.

Mel Belli Does someone here remember the version I'm half-remembering? Bill German had it on his Beggars Banquet website years ago...

gimmekeef Mel, I think Long John Baldry covered it as a slow bluesy thing but I dont know if any Stones were on it though..
