I just read the Keith part from those 74´interviews in Spanish (Bill as "drag queen"...) and comes the question:
"Is it true that there is a better version of Brown Sugar, with Al Kooper and Eric Clapton, that the one released in Sticky Fingers?"
Keith: "That recording dates from my 26th birthday party at Olympic Studios (...) there are these rumours because Eric happened to be recording at the same place and same time... neither Eric or Al Kooper took part. IT´S GEORGE HARRISON PLAYING ON THAT VERSION, THAT IS BETTER THAN THE ONE IN THE ALBUM, REALLY"
Then... we need the harcore fans to explain that.

George Harrison, that's great. |

George's slide guitar made even his blandest solo tunes enjoyable. |

Interesting as this is news to me, I'd always assumed it was Clapton on that version from 18/12/1969 |

It's Clapton playing, not George Harrison (whom would never play the second part of the solo like Clapton did on the version), and the date is December 18, 1970, not 1969.

keith has said its Clapton before. Earlyd 80's he was bemoaning the Decca rehashes, and wished instead of the same old stuff, they'd put out some interesting stuff, and he mentioned Clapton playing on BS.
Mind you, he is full of shit too, because how much crap compilation rip off's have the band themselves put out? |

Loved George Harrison... but seriously...if he could play like that they wouldnt have to have Clapton drop by for While My Guitar Gently Weeps..... |

Overlooked is the fact that it's not a better version...not even close to the version released... |

the slide playing is cool, it is good, but it is not the best version. I love alt. versions, so I love this version. That's just the way it is for me. Perhaps, there's a great sounding master tape out there, that will see the light of day. what we've got is very good sounding, but like all bootlegs, there's always the next level official release I hope for. |

An interesting trivia piece and a must for the boot collectors....but I'm with fijijoe..it hardly challenges the official release.Actually one of the very few boots I have heard that is in many spots superior to official is the RS Monitor Mixes of Steel Wheels..specially...Hold on to your Hat.... |
