I like goddess in the doorway

Matt is a very nice,friendly guy who a couple of us chatted to in the pit at Madrid.

Very talented musician and arranger, who does a great job with the choirs.

I bet his piano playing is better than chucks

On piano?

Yeah on piano.....listen to dancing in starlight, chuck couldn't play like that with his bar room copy style

He was great playing the french horn during You Can't Always Get What You Want and keyboards during Can't Be Seen on the 14 On Fire Tour.

Does Matt play organ on YCAGWYW ?

Did he accompany keith on can't be seen ? And Wasn't he also on the Monty Python video and accompanying Mick to the ABBA museum or have I got him muddled with someone else ?

Not really comparable, is it?

I'm not really sure there is a real piano on Dancing In The Starlight, either.

Or did you have another song in mind that I forgot?

I was tossing and a-turning
Like a ship out in a storm
And I could not feel the spirit
There was nothing there at all

And I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call

Dancing in the starlight
Dancing in the strangest forms
And I could not feel the spirit
Was a thousand miles off course

Stumbling in the twilight
There was no one there at all
I was groping in the darkness
Seeing dangers in the port

Yeah, tortured into silence
My back against the wall

Dancing in the starlight
Swirling in the walls
Just like Venus on the ocean
The figures on the wall

Yeah...

If you don't take risks, if you don't take a chance
You're bound to fall - oh yeah, sugar

You will surely fall

Crying for salvation
There was nothing there at all
I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call

Dancing in the starlight
The figures on the wall

Dancing in the starlight
Oh come on, baby
Surely fall, oh yeah...
Dancing in the starlight
Come on and...

Why don't fans like Chuck. He was a big part of Wandering Spirit a great Jagger solo album.

I think he's great.

Please don't...

That's keyboards. Fender Rhodes.

No, that's Tim Ries.

Yes, that's him. And it was actually Matt that wrote the Python sketch.

From another Matt Clifford thread : [www.iorr.org] - Matt Clifford in Paris during CBS :

Is it him, next to Mick's son?




And here, in 2010, next to Mick ?

Matt is a very close friend of Mick, that's for sure.
You can see this on the above pictures and I saw Matt several times go out with Mick during the last tour... They went twice for dinner in Brussels, same in Stockholm. Who visited the ABBA museum? Matt and Mick.
I'm sure they discussed the possibilities of a museum!

It's nice to see Mick and Keith onstage, joking around BUT woudn't it be nice that the Glimmer Twins sat around a table with Matt as musical producer to start recording new stuff? Or just playing old country and blues stuff that end up as a new record? 15 old classics with a Rolling Stones sauce?

I haven't seen chuck on a "real piano" either

Hey, let's get real here! Chuck plays a lot of piano with the Stones, albeit not a real grand piano.

He also plays hammond organ, wurlitzer and Fender Rhodes, something imo he does brilliantly.

Matt Clifford only plays Fender Rhodes, keyboards and synthesisers with Mick and the Stones.

He also played a very nice harpsichord on "Angel In My Heart". Not sure what the argument is about here, obviously he knows how to play the piano, it's just that there hasn't been a lot of "real" piano in Stones tracks recently...Actually isn't there a scene in "Being Mick" at "La Fourchette" where Mick is strumming his guitar and Matt is playing a grand piano?

@erikjjf - where did you read that he'd written the Python sketch?

Chuck Leavell, Matt Clifford...representatives sent by the Secret World Govermnet.

My only reasonable explanation.

He mentioned it when a friend and I met him in Stockholm last week.

Cool, nice that you were able to chat with him. If I'm ever that lucky I'll ask him what happened with the recording of "Wandering Spirit", two versions nixed by Ahmet Ertegun, his involvement on "Angel In My Heart" in the end although he developed "Don't Tear Me Up" with Mick (article in Vanity Fair in 04/92), etc...

He did indeed. But it is hard to tell if he is a better PIANIST than Chuck (which was claimed here ) by that.

I guess Mick and Keith going to a football match or enjoying a meal together is something we will never see...

Never say never...

He seems to be like a personal asistant to Mick.
He is everywhere with him. Like a Jane Rose
