I've heard about this, but is there any video/audio proof, other than from the horse's mouth?
I read about it in Martin Elliott's book, The Complete Rolling Stones Recording Sessions. It went something like, "Keith wryly recalls falling asleep during a live rendition of Fool to Cry."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he nodded off for 2-3 seconds.

The recording does exist on "Low Tide Fair Hits", the Berlin gig in 76.

The recording where he falls asleep? Now we're getting somewhere.

Maybe Keith did feel asleep during some gig, but at one the shows in Paris in 1976 he plays wonderful solos and licks on this song.

Always had mixed emotions about FTC - pun intended. It's not a bad song but I thought it was the wrong choice for the first single from Black and Blue (at least it was in the US, not sure about elsewhere). A lot of people I knew got the impression that the Stones had really gone lame. I always liked for the first single from any Stones album to be a rocker. Even Miss You had everybody beating the "gone disco" outcry that started with Hot Stuff. Of course, Miss You is a much more compelling song than Fool To Cry. (IMO)

If you take away Micks songs or Keith songs from them it just would not be the Stones, it has to have the mix of Jagger and Richards in all the records to give it the balance. Great song I think.
