It's a straight up double tracked vocal by Mick with maybe one harmonic note which was probably accidental. Not sure where she got the idea there was loads of harmonies in there?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

She seemed quite bemused by it all, was hoping for a bit more critical analysis but thanks for posting.

Almost as if she was inciting contradictory comments.

YouTube isn’t going to be your spot for critical analysis. It’s only your spot for people who need attention.

Hello,

Agreed. Does anyone really need a vocal analysis of Train in Vain? If I had a really good vocal analysis of Train in Vain, would I appreciate the song any more? This presses the pretentiousness button hard.

The reaction / analysis videos get on my nerves, but this one is so close to home that I had to share. It's nice to see that this song and/or The Clash still get some love. The comments are filled with it. But y'all are right.
