I believe the leather trousers above predate the Barbarians tour (IMO, they look 1975-6ish).
Also, I think he's playing that Zemaitis pirate/skull guitar that went missing at some point in the late 70s
(prior to the Barbs tour). See with sssoul's thread for info about the guitar here: [www.iorr.org]

Richard E. Aaron took some great pics in Oshawa. Here's what he had to say on the subject (from [www.mandremcorp.com]):
"The Rolling Stones. This shot was done in Canada. Keith got busted for drugs and as payment he had to do a free concert for the blind. I was one of the photographers, I think there might have been one other photographer that they let in, and I was shooting I guess I was about six feet away from the group. When I got to the venue I waked over to security and I said, hey, am I going to have any problems with the audience, I’ll stay low, and he started laughing, I said why are you laughing, and he said, well I guess that you don’t know that the first fifty rows are all blind people, (as this was a concert for the sighted I named the concert ‘the blind concert’) and he said you can stand, you can walk, you can do whatever you want nobody will see you. So I shot the whole show from six feet away, the stage was probably up to my stomach so I just sit there, I shot a lot of film, I think I shot eighty rolls of film that night."
Here is a quote from Richard E. Aaron's site regarding photographing the New Barbarians on tour:
"I was one of two photographers allowed to shoot the New Barbarians Tour. The rules were strict: If you go backstage your cameras could not. This was no camera trick: Keith actually looked quite healthy during this time. It helped that the show was excellently lit."
Note: I assume the other photographer Aaron mentioned above must be Henry Diltz, but Diltz took plenty of fantastic, candid backstage Barbs shots.
