I remember Keith saying "We'll do that again" after messing up the intro to Happy in Dublin in 2003 -- why are there no videos of the two Point gigs?

Keith Richards is on the phone from his back garden in Connecticut, comparing lockdowns with me. “We’re just hunkering down. It’s Alice in Wonderland here,” he cackles. “I’m keeping my head down and let’s see what happens, mate.” Keith is on the line and being filmed because he’s not going anywhere near a computer (“I don’t do mice,” he once told me). Mick Jagger, though, is Zooming in from hi

You were very lucky to meet him. Was he wearing his check shirt? .................................................................................. Greetings from an Englishman in Chicago; it's lovely to be here. Rory Gallagher is probably one of the greatest blues guitarists from outside the US. However, I don't think that Keith with Rory would have worked for long. One great album a

Rory gives his own account here -- followed by Bill Wyman: More from Bill: He was an album guy ... we had to have hit records:

Found another source (Bill Wyman): "Rory stayed two or three days there and played some nice stuff. We had a good time with him, but I think Mick and Keith felt that he wasn't the kind of character that would have fit. "If he'd have been in the Stones, he wouldn't have been singing and that was one of his strong points. He would have just been playing (guitar) solos

Another version of the story: Rory's brother Donal, who was also his manager, explains: "It was January 1975. We'd just finished a tour and we got home to Cork. We got a phone call late at night from a man with a funny accent. He gave his name as Ian Stewart (the Stones' pianist and road manager) and asked if Rory would like to join the band. "Rory wouldn't tak

Barry Lucas (who stopped me from seeing the Stones at Lancaster University in '82, but it wasn't his fault) recalls that Rory Gallagher was the "nicest guy I have ever met in rock 'n' roll... in his two-hour sets he would send his band off for a well-earned rest while he did a half-hour solo, acoustic numbers. He simply had no idea how to act out the superstar role".
