This was uploaded to YouTube several years ago by author Peter Checksfield - https://peterchecksfield.com - who explained:

This clip was rebroadcast on 'Hits A Go Go' (Swiss TV) on 24th September 1969, but the original source is a long lost 'Top Of The Pops' appearance, first broadcast on 10th July 1969 (and taped on 3rd July 1969, just hours after the death of Brian Jones).

I ran across it last night, can't recall having seen it before, and as far as I could discover, it hasn't been posted on DU before.

Mick Jagger is apparently singing live to a backing track, and some of the comments on YouTube say Charlie Watts was playing live. Mick Taylor had just joined the band in June, hired to replace Brian after he was fired. The Stones' Hyde Park concert on July 5, two days after Brian's death, is usually cited as Mick T's first appearance with the band. But this was his first taped TV appearance with them...under what must have seemed like unbelievable circumstances.
