Totally agree with you stonesrule! The two keyboard players Billy Preston and Leon Russell really rocked my world with their 1971 Concert for Bangladesh performances.
Here's a thread on iorr where I posted the whole show. Hopefully the link still works. peace

Damn, it looks like Apple Corps blocked the youtube video. But this is one of the videos that is worth paying for, imho. I wonder if proceeds from new sales still go to a charitable cause?

Wow. That was an interesting but rather sad article on the current state of Billy's financial estate. @#$%& lawyers and business people fighting over a piece of the pie and from the sound of it playing dirty ball. Thanks for the post Title5Take1. peace
Yeah, without him or George Martin, I just wonder what Beatles ever would have been. GM was the musical genius of the Beatles.
Talk about your favorite band.

Great post Sicilian!
Don't believe anyone but Rockman referenced "That's the Way God Planned It."
Billy's bravado performance in "Concert for Bangla Desh" is a total upper!
The full film footage of that amazing concert used to be on YouTube. Don't know if it still is but it's worth searching the net for.

When he was in his element he was a joy to watch; on the Hammond B3. The way he stole the show at the Bangla Desh Benefit. Or when he did "Isnt it a Pity" in the Concert for George movie.
I been avoiding this thread because I thought I'd be in minority with my opinion of him in a BP thread. But I sdee that many others here feel the same I do.
Live I thought he added here and there: when he was trading licks and hips with Jagger; the co-vocals in "Cloud", "Aint too proud to beg", "Move". But his synth, especially in the end sections of BS, JJF, SFM, SFTD was atrocious!
I like his work on "Black & Blue". It haoppened that they were a lead guitar short, and also in their funky phase, so this was the reecord for him. Other than that he should always be a hired gun, brought in for what suited him; like "I Got the Blues".
"No Use in Cryin" would have been perfect for him.
I wasn't aware of him bad-mouthing the Stones. I can't really see that. When he died I learned a lot more about him and his life, and I heard how he struggled with his demons; like we all do.

Whatever the circumstances of Billy's departure, the band, or at least Mick, must have reconciled with him, as he appeared on both Wandering Spirit and B2B.

Greatest thing he ever did was save the Beatles from themselves on the Let It Be album.
