We're not talking about different things. I never meant that Keith would sweet-talk the judge to let him out of jail permanently
The Stones have been allergic to go public with their "kindness" before, whether it's been charity, supporting musicians in need or funding of different social enterprises, green tours etc.
Keith could have told that bail-out story in 1981, and gained some good-boy press out of it. To my recollection, he did not... It's a nice story, though.
BTW, I'm not so sure Keith ever bailed this guy out of anything (even though he says he did)...

If you look close it is Mick Taylor asking to play on the encore. - you must examine the footage - can I get a Witness.

My guess is that Keith was trying to hit him with his guitar and lay him down. He actually only managed to get a glancing blow as the guy saw it coming and managed to deflect/stop the swing of the guitar.
Regarding the bail payment I'm guessing that this type of scenario may have taken place post show:
Keith: What the f*ck was that guy on stage for?
Security: Who knows. We turned him over to the cops and he was arrested and removed.
Keith/Someone else in Stones organization: Did they really need to arrest him? Somebody go pay his bail. We're not going to bother pressing charges.
Security/Stones Employee: Got it.
I don't buy the idea that Keith took $200 out of his pocket and paid the guys bail. He may or not have been responsible for SOMEONE in the Stones organization doing it. I have no idea.
All I know is that the guy should feel luck that he didn't receive a full blow with that Tele. Although it wasn't a full "axe chop" like Keith attempted, I've seen multiple incidents where guitar meets head and they never ended well for the head involved.
Peace,
Mr DJA

This was just a year after Lennon was murdered in cold blood outside his own apartment. Flail away, Keith.

Really...an excited fan who was probably still in high school runs on stage and you Hit him in the head with a guitar? Keith would Certainly be embarrassed about this event today. The poor kid probably just smoked his first joint or had his
First beer. He was about as threatening as a bunny rabbit.
Seems a little push or a nasty look would have been better. There were plenty of
stagehands poised to ESCORT excited fans off the stage.
Think about all those videos of fans running on the stage after Mick from the
sixties. What if Mick beat one of the 12 year olds with a microphone?
