As CREEM Magazine put it, when mentioning Rory Gallagher, the nod went to the better dressed Ron Wood.

Mick might need more rest during the show. He might need two breaks, but probably best to limit Keef to just one spot and let Ronnie do the other.

QuoteStoneage My simple guess is that he is repressed by Keith. I don't think Keith allows anybody to outshine him. After all it's his band as so many points out. Maybe this repression has led to Ron's problems with drugs and his somewhat demeaning clowning about on stage? Just speculating... Yeah, I suspect Keith wore him down. Ronnie had his own style when he started playing wi

There are pros and cons with being a celebrity. Having your alcohol habits discussed on public forums can be refered to the latter category. Has it been painful for you to watch it too? I myse

At the height of his powers Brian was a musical genius who seemed able to play any instrument to a very high standard.

QuoteGazza Theres more likelihood of a band with three songwriters being capable of making a good record out of recently composed songs. I get your point Gazza, but sifting the very best of *several decades* of outtakes by the "world's greatest" rock and roll band vs. whatever filler they might come up with between a couple of good new songs over the course of a couple of months

Quotecrumbling_mice Great clip...thank you posting, haven't seen this before. Keith is just ultra cool, so many tried to copy but fell short in so many ways. I'm guessing this was around Ned Kelly era? No, this had to be around 1979. I think Mick shaved the beard off just before doing promotion for Emotional Rescue. You can see in the interview, Jagger references The Police I believ

This is a nice find; I hadn't seen it before. I wonder if we'll ever see just Jagger and Richards sharing an interview ever again, just the two of them, apart from with the rest of the band perhaps at formal press conference to announce a farewell tour or similar. I'm thinking probably not.

I actually enjoy watching the "Lucky in Love" video. very comical... It's got to be hard to go out and compete with yourself after so many years.

As indicated by Max's, it has been suggested the Stones were quite drunk (and whatever else) by the time of the actual performance. The first "Saturday Night Live" book might have gone into this in a bit of detail, I don't recall exactly where I read about it. Jagger's voice was shot on and off for 1978 as well, and certainly it was for the show. That said, it was
