Any news on the funeral, BTW?
Not our business, right?

RokyfanDon't know about 82 but I saw about 10 shows in 81, all in the northeast US and as I recall Keys was there for Brown Sugar on every one (Ernie Watts, no relation, was the sax player for the rest of the show). Don;t recall him on HTW but I'm not arguing.Quote

I always thought Bobby was on all of the 1982 shows alongside Gene Barge ?
Check out the Leeds video of Going to a Go Go . Nice solo by Bobby and camera stays on him. Sorry I can't remember how to link it here.
I've listened to Exile 5 times today....he's all over it. Weaved into the "fabric" of the Stones sound on that album more than any other.

I remember that we all thought (this was pre internet ... "all" means the fans i spoke to) that simply nobody else could do justice to the BS solo, that's why keys was there (and guessed that maybe he wasn't up to doing the whole set or something like that).
Interesting. It sounded like Bobby was persona non grata from 1973 - 1989, and it wasn't until he suddenly 'appeared' with his horn (at Keith's urging) when they were rehearsing BS in Toronto, that Mick gave up and 'allowed' him back in. This is the first time I heard of him being on the 1981 shows. I have an old VHS of Hal Ashby's 'Let's Spend the Night Together' buried somewhere. I'll watch it. Wickipedia credits Stu, E Watts, and Ian McLagan as the 'additional musicians' in the film. No mention of Bobby.
'Life' and Every Night's A Saturday Night' seem to confirm Bobby not playing with them from 1973 - 1989. A mystery that I'm sure IORR will clear up. Rock On!

At The 1982 show in Feyenoord I went he certainly was playing, also Hampton '81. Anyway. I saw the video of LA Forum '75 (!) a few days back and at the end of the last few songs I would swear it is Bobby Keys playing, or a lookalike? Anyone knows the story behind this? Check the Vault DVD of LA Forum '75.

I'll defer to those who know more about what happened back in the day than I do. Apparently my 67 year old memory is not serving me well these days.
According to Wikipedia, the 1975 LA shows were July 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13. It goes on to say, "Long time sidemen Bobby Keys and Jim Price on brass were not featured on this tour, being replaced by Billy Preston on keyboards and Ollie E. Brown on percussion. Bobby Keys made a guest appearance on "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Brown Sugar" at the Los Angeles shows." So there you have it.
I was at all of them except Sat night July 12. That was the show Jann Wenner reviewed for RS when he wrote, "The Rolling Stones are Rock & Roll. They always have been, and they always will be." Instead, I was at a nearby home where there was going to be an after-concert party. Annie had shot photos of the stages in all the cities where the Stones had performed to date. I taped 20" X 24" prints of them to a wall for the party. BTW...I do correctly recall that there were two TOTA 'lotus' stage designs. One that was articulated and unfolded, and one that didn't. They used the articulated stage in LA. And I think in MSG as well.
The party was quite an affair. To quote George Gobel, a great stand up & TV comedian from the 50s & 60s, "I felt like a pair of brown shoes in a world of tuxedoes."

Thanks for the great info 1969Fan. Would have loved to be in your shoes.

I've seen that photo on Jim Price's website. I'm guessing it was taken at Nellcote in France during the Exile sessions.

Has anyone posted a video of Bobby's last Brown Sugar with the Stones? I'm guessing would've been July 3rd in Copenhagen.
