That's a good one, davido. From the same video ("Let's Spend the Night Together"), there's a scene of Ronnie running around the stage like a complete loon, and Keith stops playing and glares at him, probably thinking "WTF are you doing?"
Charlie`s BBC interview, when they were shooting the One Hit To The Body -Video and he was so unsatisfied by doing nothing. The guy from the BBC asked him that there must have been a lot of hanging around in Stones -history: "Yes, 5 years working , 20 years hanging around "
In "Let's Spend the Night Together" It's also fun when Mick complains with Ronnie about him arriving late to the venue, but my favourite Stones lol moment is on the Paris concert of "Four Flicks", during Charlie's introduction!
"got to be worked on don't have no bark nor bite..."
When Micks looking at the guy freaking out on stage at Altamont, and his biker security is oblivious. Shiiiiiiiiiiiit! But I'll give him credit, he gets back to the song. Perhaps the only time he's lost control of a situation on stage and doesn't quite know what to do.......
When a drunken Jagger knocked on Charlie's hotel room in Amsterdam and told his "drummer boy" to get his arse downstairs then a few minutes later an immaculately suited Charlie appeared and punched Jagger in the face so hard he slid along a table and almost fell out a window into a canal, saying: "Don't ever call me your drummer again. You're my @#$%& singer."
At the Toronto Air canada centre show in 2002 Keith came running out, very dramatic and all for the opening chords of SFM and fell flat on his butt. Funny yes, but made me wonder.............
My all time one would be SNL epsisode Bassplayer decribed with Mick doing Keith. and also I always laugh at Keith's picture on the cover of Black and Blue.
Another of my favourite Charlie moments (mythical too?) is after a gig in '64 or '65 backstage where loads of fans were beseiging the boys for autographs and locks of hair etc. One girl approached Charlie who was sitting untroubled on his own and asked him for a souvenir. He looked around, shrugged and offered her a chair. I often wonder if she did struggle home with it or still has it.
On the VH1 video promoting the VL tour, you see Dan Aykroyd mowing the lawn at RFK Stadium while the Stones are running through "Honky Tonk" on stage. This is just surreal, silly and very funny. If only John Belushi could've lived to see that. This is the same video that has Ronnie describing playing a pedal steel guitar as like "flying a helicopter" with all the pedals & controls. I liked that, too.
I'm backing up Davido here... that ACC Toronto show '02 was freakin' outstanding. Keith's falling and then laughing at himself as Darryl helped him up just added to the magic. He's human, and that was hilarious. Good times, good freakin' times!

Norman Gunsten! Gawd, I forgot about his hilarious '78 tour interviews with the Stones - some of which are on 'Rewind'. That one at the end where Mick comes offstage (presumably in Memphis) and goes through an interview routine like a boxer right after a fight ("you should see the @#$%& state of HIM, mate!") is hilarious.
Gunsten's interview with Mick in his Memphis hotel room is great too
"You dont share this bed with Mr Keith Richards, do you?"
Everytime I see the Stones I have to laugh when Mick comes out dancing, it's just a little strange at first. It takes at least a couple of songs to get used to his dancing and then its pure RnR after that.
