Hmmmm so may to choose from but after thinking it over I'd have to go with (for now) the original version of Honky Tonk Women. This recording practically redefined the Rolling Stones sound and show cased what was to become Keith's signature and unique rhythmic phrasing in a way no ther recording before it had done. The song's release also marks the first use, correct me if I am wrong, of the now fabled open G tuning that was used on so many of the Stones hits that proceeded it. One could go as far to say that it marks the beginning of the Rolling Stones as they came to be known by so many. For these reasons alone the song has earned them, and especially Keith, a place in Rock and Roll heaven and thus is, in my view, definitive.

Honky Tonk Women , but difficult choice.

"Route 66" from "December's Children".

"The wonder of Jimi Hendrix was that he could stand up at all he was so pumped full of drugs." Patsy, Patsy Stone

you should say to the alien "let me please introduce myself I'm a man..." but i would choose in fact GIMME SHELTER at the Philly Spectrum 21 june 1972. Everyone is perfect on this version thanks to MT who sends it into the stratosphere, Keith and Mick have to follow this infernal rythm, a must !
