No offense to Chuck, but Nicky Hopkins on the 1972 tour played just the best piano live of any of the Stones keyboards players. His playing on songs like Street Fighting Man, Ft Worth ,2nd show , is rocking at its best.Too bad he had health problems which did not allow him to player on tours after1973

Well, Nicky Hopkins was an absolute legend.

The omly reason why leavell plays with the band is the recommendation given by Stu. That was enough for his neverending liason.
The same with the present drummer and the recommendation given by Charlie.

Well it seems about a 100 years ago

Nicky Hopkins made everything he played on, better. He gave recording a 'feel'.

The great Nicky Hopkins.
