Fender Rhodes by Jagger on Memory Motel and Fool To Cry. By Chuck Leavell on She Was Hot (?). Preston plays Clavinet on Heartbreaker, 100 Years Ago and Fingerprint File. On If You Can't Rock Me, too?

If You Let Me has a Wurlitzer.
Are you sure Just Wanna See His Face has a Rhodes?
Sounds like a Wurlitzer to me.
j Mac very big on the wurlitzer...tons of faces trax and shows itz on most of the best Faces songs.very distinct sound. on a lot of elvis trax his last years of recording alla those big weepy ballads especially. and of course there it is on stones tour 81. wurlie will give u that percussive dynamic making it {imo} super for 16th note rhythm rokkin heaven. the rhodes sounds more muted and its industry standard or Wa so for a very long time buy personally ive always thought it more suited for jazz or pop things. like that grey haired piano cat who used to be in the doobie brothers. micahel sunthing. that mellow awful limp lame pristine boring utilitarian shit. wurlies r very nice for ballad work as well as having fast action for rokkkk. with rolllll. the classic vibrato very nice too in the wurlie. fender wud be less the rock and roll instrument in this regard imo.Quote

Wurlitzer on Miss You. In general, Mac seems partial to Wurlitzer electric pianos.

It sounds like a Wurlitzer to me. It's definitely not a Fender Rhodes.Quote

Fool To Cry is probably a Rhodes Suitcase with the vibrato on. Sounds like it to me.
Worried About You: Jagger is seen playing a Rhodes in the video, but you could have fooled me. Sure sounds like a Wurlitzer, especially the bite. But it could be a Rhodes played loud through a Twin.
Emotional Rescue features a Rhodes too.
BTW: Interesting to listen to Jagger playing keyboards. He plays pretty 'big', which is kinda strange for an occasional piano player, like him. Like on Fool to Cry, the intro 'riff'. Hard to describe in words, but when he plays that F-chord and adds a Dm7 on top, adding that c is really nice and unexpected.
Mac usually plays pretty 'small', like on Tin Soldier; it's all just two keys with the right hand. And Miss You is pretty small as well, especially on the Am bit. Just a+d to g+c. He is such a brilliant player. Miss Judy is a showcase for the Wurlitzer.

I'm hearing 3 keyboards on "Fool to Cry," including the piano--who's on each, and what are they? I guess it's a piano, electric piano, and some kind of synth?

Nicky play the acoustic piano, is a right hand solo, the synth is according to Wikipedia a ARP String Ensemble, played also by Nicky.
