Title: Caroline, No

Such a brilliant song at the original speed, BW is doing for young people what Sinatra did for middle aged to older people!

Once I heard it at the 'correct' speed, I could no longer enjoy the originally released version as much.

Yeah BW is singing his heart out on every word on the original speed.

I'm glad you brought this up because I was just wondering yesterday: who plays the flute on the 'In Concert' Caroline No?

I do believe it was Robert Kenyatta

It´s neither Charles Lloyd nor Robert Kenyatta. It´s Ricky Fataar playing the flute here.

Really? If that's true, color me surprised...didn't know Ricky played the flute (knew he played guitar and keys in addition to drums), and I thought he was on percussion on this track.

We need official confirmation...Ian, Jon, or c-man...any insight?

From the 'Breaking down "In Concert"' thread:

Despite Robert Kenyatta often being credited in connection with this album as a woodwind player, he is in fact a percussionist. The flute on CAROLINE, NO and the intro to SLOOP is played here by Ricky Fataar.

I remember seeing Ricky playing flute at those early '70s shows.

Wow, Ricky is so talented.  A great drummer, a really good singer and now I find out he also plays flute.  I really wish that he could have been included in Brian's current tour.  It would be amazing to have Blondie and Ricky there.
