Give me a Brian Jones appreciation playlist

Reading the Mick Taylor thread made me wonder what songs really show off Brian Jones and his contributions to the Stones.
The Stones were my brothers favorite band so in true brotherly fashion, I had to hate them. Really wasn't till the mid-80s I figured out what I had been missing.
So what tracks would showcase Brian Jones?

 

“Little Red Rooster” would certainly have to be present.

 

"Under My Thumb"

Marimba



Also "Out Of Time" (also on piano and I hear vibraphone too)

Out Of Time (Version1/Mono)

 

"Lady Jane"

Dulcimer

 

Paint It Black of course
The riff from The Last Time
I'm not an expert, but isn't that Brian's slide guitar on Little Red Rooster?
He had the coolest haircut

 

No Expectations- slide guitar
2000 Light Years From Home- mellotron

 

"No Expectations". Brian on slide.

 

"We Love You". Brian on thunderous Mellotron.

 

"It's All Over Now" for the greatest rhythm guitar part ever played, probably done on a 12-string. It's the lower pitched guitar... listen for the eighth note stabs under Keith's solo and the monster chords at the end.

 

Aftermath

 

The soundtrack to "A Degree of Murder"-oh, wait.

 

Great harp playing on Not Fade Away and continuing through Beggar's Banquet. He taught Mick how to play.

 

Get Off Of My Cloud-that’s Brian playing the 12-string

 

Ruby Tuesday-recorder, possibly the piano (that one is in dispute), and co-wrote the song. There’s also Gomper, where he did most of the exotic instruments on there.

 

Mona, that’s him playing most of the licks.

 

Walking The Dog, Harmony Vocals and Lead Guitar

 

"Sitting On A Fence"

Lead guitar and harpsichord

 

"Please Go Home", with Brian on rhythm guitar and oscillator.

 

All the spacey magic on Satanic Majesties Request is Brian. No one mastered the Mellotron the way he did.

 

This is a work in progress. More will be added to the stones and guest musician playlists in time.
