I always liked the way he played slide (in a rough 'n tumble kind of way). He didn't do it that much on stage though. I think he played it on Happy 1976 & Little Red Rooster El Mocombo 1977. Anything else?
I could have sworn that at one of the 2 Boulder gigs I attended in 1981 that Keith and Ronnie traded dueling slide lines during Let It Bleed. Anyone else there or at other gigs on the tour(probably early on) where Keith did some slide on this song?
Keith and Ronnie also played both slide guitar on Meet Me In The Bottom during the 1995 European club gigs (10 years ago today for the first Paradiso...)
I'm not as good at remembering specifics as to what show but Mick played slide on Far Away Eyes While Keith stood beside him singing, guitar hanging at his side. Priceless.

would have been priceless...but your memory is even worse than you think. Mick has never played slide, period, and Keith has never sung Far Away Eyes. And, even if you flip/flop players - Keith has never played slide to FAE.
Keith has said that slide aint his thing. He got into it for Let It Bleed to add texture, and used slide guitar very well throughout the album. Rambler, Monkey Man, Silver, Love In Vain. He played within his limits and the results were great, but he isthe first to admit he is not a real slide player.

The pedal steel that Mick plays is actually called a piano. Wood plays pedal steel, Keith does the standard guitar and out of tune singing.
HE`S ONE OF THE BEST ON SLIDE -----------------------------------
Well, Keith has made great contributions in studio playing slide guitar, but if you really think he's one of the best, you should hear Duane Allman, Johnnie Winter, or more simple, listening to Mick Taylor more closely...
