they work great PERFECTLY compliment each other. this song is so classic Keith and Stones. I understand Micks got his OWN version of YGTS. but are you serious about this being the best Keith ever wrote ??
I've listened to Keith's version so many times it has left grooves in my head. It's hard to top ol' Keith's lilts and lifts. It kind of captured his personia to a tee.
before listening to this, i didnt think it could possibly top keiths version....now im not so sure, Jagger nails it to absolute perfection. You cant underestimate Micks vocal ability, especially in this era.
@@chrisjames6327 Don' t agree about Keith,he's a great singer but he lost his voice when he vas very young,and you can imagine that he was a great singer.Mick si a brilliant singer,one of the best r&r singer ever,and if we 're talking about r&r frontman he's a number one.
I adore the album version. In fact it may be my favorite Keith song. However, this is also phenomenal. There’s a wonderful rawness to Mick’s voice here. I’m glad that I can listen to and enjoy both!!
You got the Sliver is the first song that Keith Richards wrote by himself for the Stones - all on his own - words and music. I love Richards version and his singing. The definitive version of this song is the one with Keith Richards on vocals. I am glad it is the version that made it to the album. Richards singing lead vocals extended the bands range and added another dimension to the band’s sound. To me this is the beginning of the integration of Richards ‘singing” voice into Stones albums. And yet…. Jagger’s singing of YGTS is undeniably captivating and emotional and showcases his extraordinary talent and vocal style. His singing goes beyond the song - it extends the song. It is drenched in feel and IMO a far superior version. I am glad it exists, and we have the good fortune of being able to listen to both versions.
After 50+ years of listening to Keef do the vocals for this, I have now listened to the Mick version for the first time, and I have to say he nails it. But the song is associated permanently in my mind with Keef the Human Riff, and I find that very hard to give up.
Brian’s autoharp basically replaces a rhythm guitar and gives the parts in which he plays a more layered sound. But it could also be dropped and no one would notice.
Why is everyone screaming about which version is “better”? Why are any Stones fan insulting either version and, by extension, one or the other singer? I fuckun love both versions. People are weird.
I've always liked the album version, but to be honest, this would have been a major global hit if they used the Jagger version - Mick just has a more soulful, charismatic voice. It's the X factor that turns good songs into massive songs
There's something about the multiple guitar rhythms and melodies, Keiths tends to hit my ear first.. it always gets me. So many Stone's songs, especially this one.
Vladimir Sánchez But again Keith has to have his share of lead-vocal songs, too. This one was written about his affair with Anita Pallenberg, who recently broke off from Brian Jones; the then-recently departed Stone (who would drown within a month afterward) played autoharp (zither) on this.
@@SoftTangerineDreams The official story (or whatever you’d call what Wikipedia says) is that Brian got violent with her on a trip to Morocco, which Keith saw, and pulled her away from him. They went back to England together, and moved in together. Don’t know whether there was any “cheating” as such (the relationship basically ended with the violent outburst), but I’d argue Brian being a violent dick would somewhat justify that.
In the interest of some fairness, Brian was on a lot of drugs, which fucked with his head quite a bit. I don’t know that much about him, but I assume he was a decent enough person. Then again, Keith has done every drug known to man, and I never heard of him being violent with women.
Ciao, cari amici Rolling Stones, ringrazio Dio di avervi incontrato nella mia vita, di aver conosciuto degli Artisti con la A maiuscola! Che Dio vi benedica!
Originally was recorded with Mick on vocal. We are no doubt listening to a rough mix of an alternate take here. But prior to release the engineer inadvertently recorded over the tape track with Mick’s vocal and the preferred instrument tracks. But Mick was in Australia and deadlines were near, so Keith over dubbed his vocal and it went to press. Voila art classic.
Brian made the Stones relevant, to which they are no longer. They've become their own tribute band. They can barely play anymore. They're pathetic now.@@gigliolagiglio218
For all the comparisons, it is totally possible to take 3 minutes to listen to, and enjoy this version, and then some other times take 3 minutes, and listen to the version with Keith singing. Stop breaking down and letting the Man pressure into needless decisions when you can have both
There's a reason why they went with Keith's version. The engineer had inadvertently deleted Mick's vocal and he was off somewhere and therefore unavailable to re-record it. So the producer asked Keith to sing it so that they could finish the album. It was never planned that Keith would sing; just coincidence. (Personally, I like Mick's version better.)
@@ottohoulihan2743 However, I'm now wondering that if, as has been documented, Mick's vocals had been inadvertently deleted, how did they end up here on RUclips!
@@Hotsk I can't believe that didn't cross my mind too!!! Maybe they just been mislayed? Or maybe Mick did them again after Keith (the above version) and wasn't as happy with them, so went with Keith's?
@@ottohoulihan2743 Did a little googling and learned that although Glyn Johns, the engineer, says in his book that he inadvertently deleted Mick's vocals and that was the reason they asked Keith to do it (because Mick wasn't available), many people don't seem to believe the story. However, it's in the book and seem very plausible to me. (Keith had never previously sung solo on a Stones recording--he sung some of "Salt of the Earth," but that was together with Mick--so it seems natural that Mick would be the lead singer and only an accident could have propelled Keith into this role.)
I agree with the disagreements about the singer. Both versions had their values.. But we agree on Brian's part. He gives pulse to the composition with his slide, not only as a solo instrument. I'm completely sold to his sensitivity and power of the slide. Don't forget he was a master of harp, and the best additionals with a harp was from Brian. He would have loved play live on Midnight Rambler, another instrumental shining part to the composition in improvisation part.
Brian didn't contribute the slide to this song, you might be thinking of "No Expectations". Brian only played the autoharp on this one and it's extremely unfortunate how its practically mixed out of album version, considering it was his final contribution.... Very sad indeed. But yeah, that's Keef on the slide guitar.
What are you talking about, how does 'Brian' give pulse to this composition with his slide ? Brian isn't playing any slide,all guitars ,acoustic and slide are played by Keith,so that's Keith's sensitivity and power on the slide that you're completely sold on. Brian was a gibbering wreck at this point and hardly contributed anything though he did play auto harp on this
I'm sure I like both vocal versions, Keith's and Mick's. Mick's is certainly a much stronger vocal performance. There are more dynamics in volume and that makes a feel for more passionate expression. However, given the "story" or idea that the song attempts to tell, of someone missing and appreciating their companion, Keith's very ordinary and humble singing voice and style work well to make it feel ordinary or familiar. Either way, it's a small treasure in the vast Rolling Stones catalogue, soulful and sweet.
I don't get it,,,,,the story I heard about this was that an engineer accidentally recorded an overdub over Micks vocal and he had already left to Australia to film Ned Kelly, so Kieth had to do the vocal
Mick can't compete with Keith on this one. Mick can't convey the necessary melancholy in his voice. Mick never hit rock bottom like Keith did and it shows hete. Keith's version has way more soul.
Mick Jagger è bravissimo anche nel blues, gli altri no. Se volesse, anche Mick Jagger saprebbe usare la sua voce per modularla in 1000 modi ! L' avviso che io non so l' inglese e quindi non posso rispondere correttamente.
Si se dan cuenta en esta versión si se escucha la autoarpa a comparación de la versión final en Let it Bleed, igual es raro ya que al final quedó en los créditos la participación de Brian en esta canción
Taken from the album "let it bleed" Day 5923. A prime number. All my urine til 1.50pm then dried figs and grapes and lettuce and 3 and a 1/2 oz of cheese then more urine then fruit and vegetables and other foods at 9.00pm. No chsnge.
Brian only played 1 instrument on this entire record, and it was the autoharp on Monkey Man I believe, all other guitars are done by Mick Taylor and Keith Richards
@@stevie97340 oh yeah my bad, Brian only plays autoharp on this song on Let It Bleed. Mick Taylor did guitar work for Love in Vain, Live with Me and another track I’m forgetting the name of
I read that this was actually supposed to be the album version, but the engineer dude accidentally wiped the vocals. Mick wasn't available at the time, so Keith ended up singing. So probably mid 69
It could be Keith as well. The Brain Jones fans hearts are in a very self rightious place. The rocknroll circus version of No expectations for example is excellent Brian.....the studio version I clearly hear two slides one i believe may be cooder.

Brian’s Autoharp is more noticeable on this version

long live Jagger and Richards the greatest rock and roll song writers of all time

It's cool to break up habits sometimes, love both versions.

I’d notice on this version, would be kinda empty without it. It’s not noticeable on the album version as much because they added stuff like the organ.
Why is everyone screaming about which version is “better”? Why are any Stones fan insulting either version and, by extension, one or the other singer? I fuckun love both versions. People are weird.

… plus, one can hear Brian’s autoharp, just, in the Left Channel. Probably the last significant thing he did on tape.

Both are beyond compare
complete masterpiece
What a gem, life is good!😎
raw jagger

Non c'è nessuno come i Rolling Stones; gli altri vanno e vengono ma loro rimarranno SEMPRE.
I love raw jagger
Bellissima stupenda! Mick, you got the silver and the gold!
must come back for alittle more
... And you can hear Brian Jones's autoharp way-up high in the mix on this version. Sadly mixed way down to virtually inaudible on the Keef version.
THE ROLLING STONES FOREVER!
Mick jagger ..good..good...es unico
Sounds great with Mick's vocal but it meant more for Keith to shine here , ah they love each other really !!
Yes indeed

every voodoo lounge song has keith on lead vocal
Keith's vocal over this any day, though this is musically better than the original version.
Bullionbypost 😊
Ronnie Wood years...Awesome
This is way before the Ronnie Wood years this would have been early 1969. Just before Brian was out.
I prefer this one.
By the way, the whole country funky quartet sound precedes gram Parsons. Yes Brian Jones gets credit for another genre
Best version of this song hands down. Sorry Keith ;)
Brian can be heard anywhere in this song, man.
You're like Jeanne d'Arc, hearing voices ????
Well, if this is Mick Jagger, he's imitating Keith's voice, and doing it well. But the proper Keith's version is the better of the two for me.
It’s hard not to like both versions. F-k it! I still luv Keith’s more raw, gritty and just Keith’s...
