Yes, although Mick T had bought it off Keith in '67 whilst he was with the Bluesbreakers (after his Burst had been stolen). It was used by both guitarists during the '69 tour. Here it is in action at MSG a few months later:

That V is so out of tune it is sad. The slide play8ng is sub par, imho, even for a local club band. Sad cut, imho….

Maybe the Stones were a little intimidated by the juggernaut that was/is King Crimson.

I see Hyde Park as a rush job for the Stones, a Brian tribute and the appearance of Mick into the fold...........and it shows unfortunately :LOL:

I think you got a point. The Hyde Park concert is interesting for what it is, but it seems the band was unprepared + the weather conditions made the guitars go out of tune for most of the concert.

What ever happened to that V?
Was it stolen from Nellcote? I saw a recent documentary that suggested so.

I think it was that Jagge’s dress was too short so he had to redo His costume with pants…and that made him uncomfortable????
or…maybe Mick was trying to play the slide in tune with Jagger’s sing8ng?? I have no idea to what Keef was tuning, but his guitar is sour!! Maybe he tuned that V and then strapped that capo to two holes past the necessary tightness??? Pitiful…..these tapes should be burned, imho.
eeeehaw….
