  • Sounds like the same vocal track as the released version.

  • Ry Cooder and Randy Neuman or Nicky Hpkins played.

  • The movie Performance is my favorite movie, Memo from Turner is my favorite song in the movie and this is my favorite version of this song! : )

  • Who the bloody hell said the Stones own version " was a turkey" It was an outtake ffs. It's good enough. Just needed knocked into shape that' all.

  • Still can't get no satisfaction,

    the bar is set too high

    keep yo' one fifth percentage,

    only settle fo' the whole pie

    Ah'm a movie star,

    white horse czar

    Grandmother's in mah bed

    thought we were gone

    in '79,

    probably be better off dead.

  • Does anyone know who is playing guitar? It doesn't sound like Ry Cooder to me. Is it Keith?

  • @hotdaveog

    well in this version, the band Traffic is the backing group; That would lead me to believe that it's Dave Mason on guitar. I found something on the internet the other day about Lowell George (from Little Feat) being present during the sessions, but I'm not sure that he played on this track. Probably it's Dave Mason.

  • @hotdaveog Definitely Keith I would say, certainly for the most part but Ry Cooder could well be in the mix somewhere. Interesting version though don't you think?

  • Still Cool

  • this is cool but i prefer the metamorph version Shadoobee!

  • Sex, drugs, money & too much free time on one's hands; Brian complained to John Lennon about Mick taking control, & Lennon told Brian that it was his band & to basically tell Mick so. Like another post said, Brian had many issues of his own, which consumed him. He was talented & died too young. I love the Stones, but Brian was the better fit.

  • I was eating poached duck eggs in holandais sauce with brined salmon with fresh alpine goat cheese

  • it looked like brian got along well with the other stones, so it makes me wonder why they would kick him off. I mean that pie fight with him and mick they were having so much fun

  • @Deathsquad49 seems the drugs and his mental state were getting worse..and he couldnt get into the USA because of visa problems with the drugs.

    the stones mick/keith were and are very single minded same thing with taylor later..he was out.

    jones couldnt or wouldnt write his own songs..classic sad decline..like morrison etc

  • Comment removed

  • I think Brian's back again ... keep your eyes open!

  • @spain1973 So was Keith and Ronnie. That doesn't take away the fact that they were excellent musicians.

  • So was Sid barrett! So what! @spain1973

  • cool man, ya gotta love the boots ;)

  • traffic backing band

  • @mherrenschmidt

    Its funny; I found this fact out myself just the other day as well. Now that I know it seems obvious, eh? Truly does sound like that laid back Traffic groove.

    Good ol Stevie Winwood (and Dave mason for that matter).

  • The original version--from "Performance"--still rules!

  • Teresa Teng they AIN'T!!!

  • badazz version

  • cool take

  • was this version ever on anything?

  • @ejulpboy  no never released

  • @ejulpboy 

  • Thanks for this one , never heard it before. When is it from please?

  • heroin.

  • linda version!!mejor que la original!!

  • Cool lookin guys, huh?

  • The Stones sound like they're practicing. The photos are very interesting! Brian is obviously the heartbeat of the Band - one very intelligent & talented young artist who left an amazing legacy.

  • The Stones sound like they're practicing. The photos are very interesting! Brian is obviously the driving force of the Band.

  • The Stones like they're practicing. The photos are very interesting!  Brian is the driving force of the Band.

  • what LP or CD is this version taken from? alot of people seem to think this is the metamorphasis version, but it ain't...

  • The slide guitar in the original version of the song is played by Ry Cooder....

  • not as good as the other version but still great

  • this is not a alternate take, you did something with the song.

    It is not possible to put the song ore music from the movie on Youtube.

    Maybe thats why you have no problems.

  • thanks for the post, this is a very rare version of this song...I still like the version with Ry Cooder playing slide guitar better though, he makes the song

  • haha,,the lyricz in dis "YOUNG MEN DO THE FIGHTING,,,,,BUT OLD MEN ARE THE CAUSE "will bite jaggers arshole now he is part of the establishment,.,.,.,.AFGHAN,,,­IRAQ,,,,ETC ETC ETC/////////////MICK I LOVED YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHH WHY MAN WHY ?????????????/

  • @honkydudeman

    No. listen again buddy, it's, "when the old men do the fighting, and the young men all look on." Lol, you are high dude!

  • Wish I was there

  • Hey, where can this version of the tune be found.

  • RIP Brian Jones. Forever 21.

  • @dtrsr10 27

  • Lead Vocal: Mick Jagger Guitars: Brian Jones, Steve Winwood & Al Kooper Bass: Bill Wyman Drums: Charlie Watts (?) or Jim Capali (?) Keyboards: Al Kooper

    MEMO FROM TURNER (Metamorphosis version)

    (Jagger/Richards)

  • That's Lowell George on guitar...

  • Funky.  Different mix, though I think.

  • iLove love love love love Brian Jones.<333333 R.I.P.

  • COOL!!!

  • Isn't like remembering your first girlfriend in regards to Brian Jones? You think fondly on it now, and remember the roses. I've seen numerous performances from around his death and frankly he looked like death. He couldn't perform. He was essentially a stage prop. My question why should the band have dragged him around? I know it seems callous but Jones was a grown-man. Keith had his demons but showed up. Mick was a ego maniac but always put what was best for the band first. Love the Stones!!

  • I've never heard this version...it's nearly as awesome as the "regular" version. but the regular version is probably the coolest song ever freaking made

  • Performance amazed me so much when it came out,,, i had to see it 7 times in order to fully understand it. it is my favorite film,,,along with Blow-up,,,of the best era ever to hit this earth...the 1960's.

    thanks for this new version to the old great film. it still rocks...... and rolls along ,,,even today... peace-out.

  • bravo.

  • Outstanding!! Thanks

  • Brian was the star in this band and he could have been the star in other bands if he was alive. He was going to work with Hendrix, Clapton and Lennon, but since Mick Jagger out Cunts Lizzie Borden, we will never know.

  • The evidence is pretty clear!How could they?! :(

  • @gillybgoode cunt jagger? brian jones was damaged goods..it was a shame but there it is..beating women isnt cool.

  • Loved the Stones my whole life but never heard this version. Thanx.

  • It's not The Rolling Stones song! It's Mick Jagger solo. This version features Al Kooper on guitar, and perhaps Brian Jones and Stevie Winwood of Traffic as well. Either Charlie Watts or Jim Capaldi (also of Traffic) plays drums on this record

  • Maybe Ry Cooder on guitar?

  • They show pictures of Brian and Keith together...which is why Brian was booted out the band.

  • no way is that charlie watts on drums, probably jimmy miller.

  • I'd only known of two versions of this ! ... Nitzsche produced the film version and Jimmy Miller produced the Metamorphosis version ... Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi are on the Metamorph version and Ry Cooder is on the film version.  I THINK ! - Thanks for posting this though ,,, I learned something today !!

  • oh HELL YEAH ! .. i prefer this take.

  • Funky!

  • The Stones looked so good at that time.

  • anyone know where to find this version?

  • Yes you might find it on (Metamopris)

    from the uk -import-take a look they both have it on there -and in the soundtrack performance as well-Good luck-the lp was realeased in 6/6/75

  • Stones were nuthing without Brian face facts, man was magical.

  • 0:49 IS THE BEST PICTURE EVER. Keef's double chin and Brian's... just entire self.

    Although 2:10 is pretty good, too.

  • that pic at :049.....it looks like brian and keith are on LSD or some kind of hallucinogen

  • Very typical late 60's psychadelic fuzz guitar. Love it! Bit too slow though.

  • I agee with papa2072the version with ry cooder on slide is the best imo.

  • This doesn't even sound remotely close to the version on Metamorphosis.

  • You must have the American release of Metamorphosis. Get the British version. They're not even close. As you said.

  • please SOMEONE post the version from "Metamorphasis."

  • search for it dude its on here. its not a very good version though. this one and the original are the best.

  • i like slide on original funkier sound overall than this

  • Very cool alternate take,love the rippin bass!

  • The piano's appealing - gives it a Band vibe. Too bad they cut it.

  • That minor chord transition/..."Come Now....." YUMMY.

  • brian was the best stoooone

  • @skint0n0minted - He was a fucking prick who liked to beat the shit out of women.

  • @shimokita2 belivecv whtever the papers tell you?

  • @shimokita2 How do you know if he liked it? He was high as a kite FFS.. Brian has NEVER been described as a violent man by nature by anyone who knew him. I'm not defending him for beating women - he has and that is just wrong. But he wasn't alone doing that. Lennon, Hendrix and Jagger have also done it. Brian wasn't anymore of a prick than most "stars" back then.

  • @atticthoughts - Right. Listen to a few of the other guys in the band and some of the people that were around at the time and the stories are endless. Brian got off on beating up the girls. He beat one girl so badly in Florida that she was put in hospital. The unfortunate thing about that is that none of the others tried to stop it. A member of the road crew finally went in and clobbered the shit out of Brian after he saw the young girl laying on the floor. Everyone heard the beatings.

  • @shimokita2 Again, I have not find a single valid source that support that story and those sources rely on what the Stones and people who knew them well say. I'm not saying that Brian didn't beat some of his women but I don't believe for a second that Brian beat up women because he got off. On the other hand I guess it's easy to believe that if you don't know very much about him and his story. He had a lot of things going on inside emotionally and the drugs made that worse.

  • Is there a way to get an mp3 of this version?

  • you could download Gettube and strip it from here

  • wow,super-version.thank you.

  • i have seen this Cheap movie PERFOMANCE featuring Mick Jagger,1991 soho in London. ,but this song "memo from turner" I like too much than another songs of Rolling Stones .Whatever, who play the keybord ,Brian,?

  • Nicky Hopkins on piano, Ry Cooder slide guitar.

  • Ian Stuart plays the keys. He was the invisible member of the Stones.

  • This is Nicky Hopkins on piano not Ian Stewart.

  • Yeah you're right. I forgot Nicky Hopkins did some piano work. But Ian Stuart was the main keyboard player who was with them right from the start. They just kept him in the background becuase he didn't fit the part. He was the 6th Rolling Stone.

  • best version ive heard ! why didn't they release it?

  • hello chas,

    I LIKE THAT, TURN IT UP

  • Isn't there a third version where he says "You schmucks all work for me" at the end? Or did I dream that?

  • That's the version on Metamorphasis

  • Is the vocal track the same as the one from Metamorphisis? Cause it sounds very similar

  • brian jones was murdered

  • did you see that movie STONED? I remember reading that some gardner or something confessed on his death bed that they killed brian jones.

  • @BipolarPics I read something about that as well. I also saw or read an interview with Keith regarding Jones' death where Keith basically said that he found it impossible that Jones would have drowned. Richards suspected foul play. Jones was a fucked up guy. There are stories about him beating Anita Pallenberg and frequently throwing violent temper tantrums. T

    The Stones were his band initially. Unfortunately for Brian, despite being a virtuoso he lacked the ability to write songs.

  • @tonyfrombalt - Brian Jones beat a female fan so badly once in Florida when on tour that one of the Stone's road crew attacked Brain for what he'd done to her. He got off on beating the shit out of women.

  • @shimokita2 hahah bullshit. Where did you discover this tale?

  • @skint0n0minted - You're a fucking idiot.

  • @shimokita2 what a clever reply. I take it it was just gossip you heard then

  • @shimokita2 Have you got a believable source on that story about Brian and the fan? It sounds like pure BS and again you assume that Brian "got off" or "liked" beating women. What are your reasons for believing that?

  • @atticthoughts - I'm not going to do your research for you. Figure it out for your fucking self. The info is out there and so are the people who were present when all this stuff happened.

  • @shimokita2 I have read about Brian and his time in the Stones for years and I have not find a single valid source that support what you write about him. The "people" who you claim were present during the "Brian and fan"-event doesn't seem to have been trustworthy enough to include in other and better researched sources and since you won't even reveal where you found this episode I'd say that it's based on speculation and BS. When it comes to Brian there are lots of it.

  • @tonyfrombalt Brian suffered from severe depression from a very young age (about 10) and when he was low he was LOW. as for couldn't write lyrics tht bollocks he wrote the music to so many stones songs but jagger took all the credit, thats partly why Brian left, he wrote the lyrics to 'No Expectations' half of 'Ruby Tuesday' among others.

  • @skint0n0minted Brian didn't get the credit he deserved in his time with the stones becouse they wanted him out becouse of his many issues. It is sad but he was extremely talented and when he was on he was on!

  • @tonyfrombalt Having a low self esteem, psychological issues since childhood and a loveless upbringing it wasn't that strange that he became fucked up on drugs. Although he did have violent clashes with women he wasn't a violent man in general. More cocky and whiny.

    Nobody really knows if Brian could write songs. He wrote the score to a soundtrack and many claim that he recorded his own material at home. There are lots of myths about Brian's music and it's hard to know what's true.

  • @BipolarPics A pack of lies... coming from Tom Keylock. 

  • 'Performance' wouldn't get Mick an oscar but was an intereseting period. Mick was supposedly really shaken after a night out with co-star John Binden - who wouldn't have been?

  • HOW MUCH DID THE FILM "STONED" W/ Leo Gregory and Tuva Novotny...LEND To Mssr. BRIAN JONES,esq. To Live on? The Volume "GOLDEN STONE" was also a Tribute/Tributary...perhaps opening up ,perhaps - shedding some light on our "Great Friend" Brians' demise! (a.k.a ELMO JAMES)--- Naw, HE wasn't 'goin' down Slow"... he was found PUSHED! (misadventure, was the Coroners' Finding.My ASS!!) Who held "COPYWRIGHT OWNERSHIP " To the groups' Name-when they were Incorporated?(Could have been BRIAN JONES?)!

  • BRIAN LIVES ON!!!!!!!

  • almost as deliciously titilating as cocksucker blues,

    magnificent lyric, as relevant today as when they were writen, love it ... ...

  • Good grief - to think that this was deemed not good enough!

    Thanks for posting this awesome gem from the archive.

  • Apologies - hit the 'thumbs down' instead of up! Will rectify shortly.

  • HMMN! The MORE ONE LISTENS to "MEMO FROM TURNER(ALTERNATE VERSION)",The More one Sees How Masterful a STUDIO - Take it ,essentially is! This Particular Essential ERA of The ROLLING STONES Masterful! Studio Presence, Much Like "Child of the Moon",'SYMPATHY', SALTof The EARTH,and Many others.. Have been Overlooked,from a Cinematography Genre' Entirely!The Pity of it is That 'Sympathy' was the SOLE Contribution by Jean LUC-GODDARD of such a Critically Creative Time in REPITOIRE!!"FILMS, Any,?"

  • The PURE TEARING AGAINST SOCIETYs' FABRIC...By THE 'REAL' ROLLING STONES, as I First Heard them Back in 1963...Yeah, The PICS did an Awful Lot To SET THE "CONVEYANCE" of the Lyrics! As RAW..as One May Imagine the 'Stones BEING! "MEMO FROM TURNER" (Alternate Take)Would BE THE Better of THE two..From THE Film"PERFORMANCE"as I Recall. Has an 'EDGE --UP'on The Classic"MIDNIGHT RAMBLER" I Believe!A Great Posting!Shame, I FEEL That a "TAPING" of sorts Needs Be Made Available to the Public!

  • lol u seem pissed..so ill help ill send u some outtakes of stones classic albums

  • REALLY DECENT of you MY Friend! Sometimes, for a person to LOCATE (Seemingly)"HIGH-BROW" Rolling Stones Outtakes... Well to Many&Most Nowadays, It seemingly,proportedly would easier to transliterate Latvian RUSSIAN over to the English Vernacular! Fire AWAY ..on Target!

  • i cant send them to u mate until u accept me as a friend..you have a lock on randoms like me posting to you.

  • Thanks for the post! This version is real loose anf funky. Very nice, however I'm still partial to the soundtrack version with Ry Cooder. It seems to capture the darkness of the movie a little more. Either way, a great tune.

  • Isnt the released version with Ry Cooder the "original" , the Performance version and this an outtake from those sessions while the Metamophosis version is the horrible verion with Keith and this could be an "Performance sessions" outtake with Ry, Brian, Al Kooper among others.

  • Fantastic version ! Had never heard it ! And great pics too ! Thanx for posting !

  • FANTASTIC!!!!!  Great photos too. You made my day. Thanks for posting.

  • Where did you get this version? It's great!!!

  • this is cool. can you post the version fom metamorphesis.

  • What year was this recorded? Late '68, early '69? The version on Metamorphasis is almost unlistenable. This version is funky!!!

  • Holy Crap! Better than the original! Where did you get this? Definately Ry Cooder on slide guitar. Sounds like Jim Capaldi on drums. Well tell us where this came from!
