Youtube video included...I like it!

Further listening and the electric bits are missed.......Charlie's big crash in at the end too low in mix too....

It's the same I posted last Tuesday here http://rocksoff.org/cgi-bin/messageboard/YaBB.pl?num=1417880329/75#75

Voo...sorry thought it was new.....take this thread down if you need too.......

No problem, in fact it was a good idea to start a new one for this

Is it an actual different mix/take? Or is it just filtered out older version?

I seriously cannot  tell

Neat job on the video.
Like the zipper -- it is a clever hook.

Any word on when that version was recorded -- do any of our super-sleuths know when/where details of the recording?

It sounds very much like the version captured in the Gimme Shelter video, but I know they dicked around with that song a buncha times in between 69 and its release in May of 71.

Just curious if anyone knows.
Gazza will know -- he knows this shit like crazy!
We'll always have New York

why am I not moved?

It's a Fauxtake….
all they did was use a different mix and remove certain parts, with electric guitars and some other overdubs.
same vocals with a slight boost on the acoustic guitars.
I don't hear any other differences… They may have used a different vocal mix, for some parts, not 100% sure, sounds like it may have a different take, but it's hard to tell if it's just not clearer vocals without the electric guitar parts.

Haha.... I wouldnt be so sure. If only I could get access to their studio logs. Quite a few folks on these forums can pick these things apart far better than I can.

I'm with Pdog on this one. It just sounds like the same take as the version we already have. (mind you, I've only listened to it once)

Started at Muscle Shoals in December 1969 and finished at Olympic Studios two months  later.

Gaz…
Do you think Leeds will be in stereo?
Multitracks were used to record. Let It Rock official was in stereo…
If it's mono, even the missing tracks will be a let down…
I'm glad I have Sway single version, they are dropping the ball with the bonus stuff… none of the bonus discs have had the single versions…boo!!!! I got them in great bootleg quality anyway…but! I like them official too… Sway and All Down The Line from Exile both standout as versions officially released as singles, that would've made great bonus material. And The Some Girls single versions and 8 Track tape mixes.

Tough call - I think the chorus vocals are definitely a different take, and Charlie's drums (which I've studied like a some bloody academic) lead me to believe the whole thing, therefore, is a different take. At the 3:31 point there's a clear rimshot on his snare that's not there on the original; not a rimshot per se, but his stick only hitting the drum rim - just a 'click'. A couple other things as well, very subtle things like a high hat pop, or the exact phrasing of a tom fill...real nerd stuff.

If it is a different basic track, they sure were focusing  hard back then, because it's so nearly identical.

Because, you have an ice cold heart!

Just Kidding!

This song always makes me want to cry.  Beautiful song, but very sad.

The final "We'll ride them someday" is not read quickly, as it is on the released take.  The opening "Childhood living..." has dragged-up-from the-throat sounds preceding it, also not on the released take.

I've heard this vocal track on bootleg versions before - I think of it as the "head cold" take.

Yep, which also begs the question: if they didn't have enough bonus shit, why not do this for the rest of the songs on the frigging album?

I'm SOOOOO underwhelmed by this release.  It's really bland.  And the tour?  Forget it.  I'm not gonna go out of my way with Mick Taylor once again ushered out the side door and no Sticky Fingers album shows planned.  Same shit, different day.

That's their new song!

"SAME SHIT!" (kick drum twice) "DIFF'RENT DAY!"

Let's write lyrics for them.

The fact that theyre releasing the complete Leeds show would lead me to believe its likely they're releasing the original stereo multitracks of the show, whereas the broadcast would have been in mono (BBC Radio didnt start broadcasting on FM until the late 80's)

I think you and Mr Yeats may be correct. Was just reading Anthony DeCurtis' facebook page after he posted the video and he reckons its the Muscle Shoals take that was featured in "Gimme Shelter" as well.

is it the same vocal on the black box version?
there's a variety of stuff going on here...

I'm no expert but, sounds very much like a cleaned up version of the version originally used on initial copies of 'HOT ROCKS' vol.I (vinyl 1971. Also avalible on various boots like 'Itchy Fingers'.[/b]

There's a blast from the past. Good to see you posting again, mate.

Nice to see you again Gaz, figuratively speaking, how ya been? How's the George Best airport?

All good here, thanks. Maybe we'll rename the other one Rory McIlroy Airport if this week goes well. :-)

The exact words I was striving for...Thank you Pdog!!

Okay, who wants to hear gorda's karaoke version of "Wild Horses"?

I certainly do.

I do! Try posting to SoundCloud or YouTube.

I don't know how to do it.  YouTube won't let me upload because it is only an audio file.

Maybe, VoodooChile can give me his email address, and I'll email it to him?

of course Gorda... I'd kill to hear you (again)

No visuals yet, this is our lovely Gorda singing Wild Horses

Love it!

This is the mp3 versión to download available for a month

Great job, Gorda!

Lovely montage, Voodoo.

Its very poignant that I was able to count at least 10 former posters in that footage who are sadly no longer with us - all of them passing away at a young age.

Very Good!
Thank you!

Thank you guys!  You're too kind!

I sang that song live at the Santa Cruz Flea Market.  They used to have karaoke there.

Very nice, Gorda. Very sweet. You sound like some indie band girl - just singing the song straight with no embellishment. Hey - you might have a career as next-big-thing hipster!

Oh, and Voodoo - who's breasts are those at the :50 mark?

Just gimme a hint, mate: she American?

Dear Voodoo,

Thank you for uploading my song.  I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but could you please remove the topless chick and the people shooting heroin?

Thank you.
gorda

P.S.  Thank you Mr. Yeats, you are too kind.

Too late, to do that I would need to remove everything and edit the clip, then upload again

So just use the mp3 file with no images

Sorry for any inconvenience

What's wrong with a woman's bare breasts? There's also a fully naked dude in the clip as well. This IS a Rolling Stones site, after all...

(Gorda - are those your breasts?)

Yes, that's the point, that song is not just a rolling stones song, it's on Sticky Fingers!!!! an encyclopedia about sex and drugs including Mexican heroin (BS), cocaine (CYHMK) and morphine and some more (bitch, dead flowers) etc.
