Following up on the Jagger thread, got me thinking about Keith's.

One of my top all-time favorite moments is during We Had It All when he sings "oh it was so good, yes it was so gooood, oh it was so good, when I was your man".

He sounds so sweet, sincere and vulnerable at that moment, it's heartbreaking.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

Almost beatin' that guy with his guitar in '82!

Throwing the televison off the balcony

This was one of his finest moments:

When he socialized along with his grandpa, Gus Dupree
a n d when he sat down by the radio & picked up sounds
& songs from all over the globe. Influences which eventually
transformed in his head, min & soul to great songs...

Meeting Mick at the train station.

"No Anchovies, Please"

When he defined Rock 'n' Roll.

His comeback, after the brain surgery, in Milan 2006. That was a very fine Keith moment. Several people in the audience were deeply moved, and that roar and the cheers he got - I think he was a bit touched himself, too.
And then he sang beautifully, better than in decades. That was amazing, and I thought I was dreaming.

This was one of his finest moments:

Quite possibly, but I swear I hardly recognize that gal!

yeah me either, i was making a weird face. I was truly in a state of shock. I'm surprised I wasn't just standing there drooling.

making sure that a blind stones fan in canada got to and went home from the shows safely

When he says "Get me out of this illusion" in the break of Rocks Off.

Gimme Shelter with the Winos on the Main Offender tour. Devastating vocals and slashing guitar.



I'm tired, I'm tired of doing what I'm told.
Things are moving way too slow.

>> Almost beatin' that guy with his guitar in '82! <<

er ... 81.

>> "Get me out of this illusion" <<

... really? i guess i can fit the first four syllables in, but ... hm.
whatever he's singing: i love that moment totally.

one more ... ahh it's not about any moment - it's that sustained drive, baby

It's a tricky question...
For Keith, we could hardly guess an answer...
For each one uf us, I think each one of us has a different story to tell...
For me, might be the evening of July 17th 2007 in Bucharest.
Keith a few steps in front of me, Leading the solo of LSTNT.
Very concentrated, then.... smiling...

The final, finished recording of You Got The Silver. Nothing is cooler or better than that!

ROCKMAN

If I sum it all up I'd have to say the unsolicited ovation he recieved on the closing night of the NA leg of BB in Vancouver. It is noted in some of the reviews.

I picked this because I think a guy who loves to perform, and has done so for so many people for so many years, it had to come to a head sometime and the vancouver croud showed him some real respect and it truly humbled him and had the rest of the band a little stunned.

Defintiely comes to mind:

Sympathy solo from the Steel Wheels Live at the Max.

"get me out of this illusion"

i always wondered what Keith is saying in the breakdown of that song.... so that's it? that's amazing

always wanted to know....why didn't i ask here?

December 18, 1943 - Present & Beyond

Nice pic of Cindy and Keith. But I prefer the one where he is either checking our her drink or her "rack"! I think I know! Cheers Cindy!

Australia '73, That Bitch solo in Sydney, yo mon IORR!!!!

Might have to be the Rambler from Brussels, or would it be Let It Rock from Leeds, or could it be Miss Amanda Jones?

>> "get me out of this illusion"
i always wondered what Keith is singing in the breakdown of that song <<

that's an appealing interpretation indeed - but it's not what i hear.
i'm still hoping iamwaiting will say more about where that comes from, how it fits, etc.

more "moments":
~ his vocals on the july 64 radio-show version of If You Need Me
~ Satisfaction: that beautiful weaving he does with the vocal on the verses
~ the opening of Run Rudolph Run: that ~*YELL!*~
~ You Don't Move Me - my lord that is a brilliant piece of music!

Make No Mistake. 'Nuff said.

I've got a soft spot for his perfomance of 'Nearness of you' on the Four Flicks Dvd .....brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it!

Almost forgot - The Intro to Gimme Shelter....simple but WOW!
