What a drag it is gettin' old
Very true and he's very hard to hear clearly either on record or on stage because Ronnie or Keith are usually doubling his part (D&G for instance).
The GS DVD bonus with Ike and Tina comes to mind to really see and hear him play and it's impressive. Not a popular track here, but he can also be heard clearly on the GITD song, especially the instrumental version.

Yep...and just cause it hasn't been mentioned yet, Hey Negrita.
Brian does the single note motif.
I think there was lot of really powerful riffs even before Taylor joined that really made Keef a legend, even on the weaving era:
She Said Yeah, Get Of Off My Cloud, Satisfaction, etc...

What's your faves? With a band like the Stones, the rhythm guitar is often dominant - so perhaps riffing guitars should be allowed here as well.

The Last Time - It's Brian, innit?
Jumping Jack Flash - Keith's playing on this song for the 75 US tour was magnificent. The song took on a whole new identity.
Hand Of Fate - The rhythm really propels this and then when it goes into that middle...oh golly gee!

Mick Jagger is underrated as a rhythm guitar player
Fingerprint File.. Stop Breakin Down..
with Keith as one of the best rhythm guitarists ever, there hasn't been much room for Jagger to shine.. still he has a knack for it.

"Pretty Beat Up" is a great choice.
How about "Dance Little Sister?"

For Mick Jagger my favorites are "Stop Breaking Down" and "Sway". For Keith there are too many to mention...

@DP - This is one of my favorite topics. I was just thinking about this the other day when listening to night two of MSG from back in 1998. They did Low Down that night, but the highlight for me is IORR on the b-stage. Keith is very loud in the mix, everything else is very distant. I will post it later. Keith is hopping back n forth between two different parts. AWESOME stuff.
The jam towards the last bit of Let It Bleed, live, is my favorite. Just lock in that groove and lay down beautiful rhythm guitar! Same for Route 66, Little Queenie, etc...

My favorite if i had to choose one of all of them i would vote for Rocks Off.
But i wanna name one song that is often underrated but i remember when it came out that i thought it was a killer playing. Still when i hear it i think that all of them three on guitars shine in it(of course Bill and Charlie are priceless). And that is: Rock And A Hard Place

I think Keith's peak period as a rhythm guitarist is from the times when he excelled the art - that is: from the times when there was another guitarist whose forte was playing fantastic lead guitar, so Keith put his creative energy into rhythm and riffs (as DandelionPowderman pointed out in the initial post those two go easily hand in hand).
I think especially on EXILE ON MAIN STREET one could find incredible, energetic rhythm guitar work from him, such as "Rocks Off", "Rip This Joint", "Tumbling Dice", "Happy", and especially "All Down The Line" and "Soul Survivor" . The biggest days of finding the novelties of open tuning were past by then, so he was able just to concentrate on just mastering the art - to play his heart out with those tunings, not yet showing any repitition or artistic lazyness but pure inspiration. What is also great and so typical Keith as a guitarist is that you can't really distinguish the greatness of the song from the greatness of his rhythm guitar work - they go hand in hand. So among other qualities EXILE has, greatest rock and roll rhythm guitar work ever captured on record.
What goes for live performances, he peaked as a rhythm player - with the same logic - during the 1972-1973 tours, when he laid an incredible rhythmic foundation and drive for the Stones songs there... "Brown Sugar", "Street Fighting Man", "Midnight Rambler", etc. etc. Outstanding power and passion and vitality in his playing.
It is funny to think that Keith is so well-known as a great rhythm player and a "riff master". I wonder if without those years when the guitar section in the band was so separated to the rhythm/lead roles - which seems to be a kind of sin to "weaving" idealogy, even "unstonesy"-thing in some circles - would that reputation of his being even possible without that era when he 'needed' to stick into those things and really make a difference there (around the same time when flashy lead guitarists more or less ruled the guitar world)?

Agree with Hey Negrita... some others:
I Wanna Be Your Man - sounds like a freight train
All Sold Out - this might be the first time I ever heard Keith sound like "Keith"
Imagination (namely Hampton '81, though the rave-up at the end of Phoenix '81 is pretty sweet as well)
Sparks Will Fly - love the stuttering instrumental break
Have Mercy - proto-punk soul riffing. Keith? Brian? Both? Whenever I hear it,
I get a mental image of Keith's sunburst Epi Casino
For what it's worth, the finest non-Stones rhythm guitar I've ever heard is courtesy of Ronnie: "Miss Judy's Farm"
