It’s not 1977 possibly Jan 1979? Or 1978.
I don't buy into the myth that he was a "smarter" junkie than others. He just never got that hot dose that stopped his breathing. He was on the razor's edge for a long time I'm guessing.
He also was a skin/muscle popping junky not an IV shooter. Not as much of a huge instantaneous CNS depressant effect.
Uum.....
Nancy Spungeon
Marianne Faithfull
Don't tell me they were more than one nighters?
It almost always takes years to walk away from it. One kicks the habit many times before actually quitting for good. I didn't think Keith went the methadone route though. He once said it's awful stuff and it should all be dumped in the ocean.
Always thought of Keith as a dry drunk, he's never needed to go rehab to stop drinking and he's never admitted to being an alcoholic, unlike Ronnie, Keith seems to stop when he wants to without the need of intervention or the 12 steps connotation. Covertly though he's obviously dealt with his demons in his own way, notably recently with his obvious sobriety and contented demure.
Nancy Spungeon? Not my Keith haha..
And Marianne..I don'tknow, but it seems like that was surely a pretty deep relationship. They are still close to this day.
Regardless, I don't know the first thing about Keith's private love life, and I;m fine with that.
Muscles, which is lightweight (and smarter) than shooting in the veins.
Na.Only the pictures posted by Ouroux first are said to be from Spanish Tony and they all are from 1974.
Back to this topic, I've only mentioned what's on the description for the auction , and it is 1977.

He used it in 1980, the year he quit smack more or less for good.
Methadone becomes way of life, and is best avoided. what is idiotic IMO in the dope game is skin popping.
Even more remarkable then that Ginger Baker is still with us (just).
He was a heroin addict far far longer than Keith and Jack combined.
I guess my point is if you're going to shoot Heroin you got to go IV. Otherwise snort it or, smoke it. If youre going to introduce needles, and the baggage that brings with it, don't waste your time.
In the red top: Jane Rose.
And Keith was probably aware of how fast things would derail had he IVed (pretty sure he did occasionally later in the 70s. He could afford to inject in his muscles. I think he was being a lot more careful. He was probably half asleep but also half awake and aware of Jagger and a bit relieved when his companion chased the dragon. They seem to have gotten along until Jerry put a stop to that. If anything Keith mustve known Mick wasnt afraid to do anything to keep the train a rolling with or without Keith. Hence the superman Keith in 1981. Me thinks.
Talk about your favorite band.

I notice he's wearing the handcuff bracelet in many of those pics. Doesn't that date it to late 78 or 79? Don't remember seeing it before then.

I think he's got a well above-average physical constitution (obviously) but most of it it just dumb luck.Quote

Great Pics, thanks for sharing, some photos i have never seen before there.
77' was the year Keith went from elegantly wasted to wasted imho.
In a couple of shots there he looked like he was dying, how wrong could i be, here he is 75 years old in December this year and seemingly healthy.
I just shake my head and think how did he survive all that, was he faking some of the drinking and drugging, how did he manage to live when so many others have died or become casualties, only Keith himself knows the answer to that question, personally i think above all else he is a survivor.
I don't buy into the myth that he was a "smarter" junkie than others. He just never got that hot dose that stopped his breathing. He was on the razor's edge for a long time I'm guessing.

True, which I only found out recently...I was watching the No Security show, and the scars on his shoulder muscles were very noticeable in certain lighting.Quote

Im pretty sure that s late 1978 not 1977. He wasnt with Lil before that.
What is the story with Lil? It can't have been a long relationship since here name does not pop up much. What has always been cool about Keith is that it seemed like he tired to have relationships; and not one-nighters.

You are right, Keith was very discreet with his girlfriends. He still had three at once in early 1981, all blonde. Then Lil left, unhappy about the cocaine and liquor, even though he bought her a townhouse in NYC.

It’s strange, these pictures are said to come from Spanish Tony but he said he never talked to them again after Knebworth in 76.
This looks like 78/79 to me.
Lily had this funny habit of setting up different items around Keith when he was passed out.
These pictures show that and there’s other funny ones from 79 on tour with her Ronnie’s girl and a passed out Keith.
I saw him from front row on the Barbarians tour and he looked Exactly like he does in these pictures.

Seriously,I don’t want to speak ill of the dead but Keith was a little above that young ladies pay grade.
Anita Pallenberg,Uschi Obermeir,Lily Wenglas,Patti Hanson....Nancy Spungeon? i don’t think even the actual Lem Motlow could’ve come up with enough Jack Daniels to make that happen.

I guess my point is if you're going to shoot Heroin you got to go IV. Otherwise snort it or, smoke it. If youre going to introduce needles, and the baggage that brings with it, don't waste your time.
