Came here to find this clip after seeing G.E. Smith's interview talking about this night and how Keith gave G.E. the finger from behind the stage curtain as a token of respect because G.E. was killing it in the performance during the band shot before Keith and The Winos took the stage.
As a 30 year old. I remember my dad having this album playing CONSTANTLY on cassette in his car. Every time I hear a song off this album, I think about sitting in the passenger seat as we drove through lower Manhattan in the late 80s' early 90's to pick up my mom from work every evening. Talk is Cheap will ALWAYS have a special spot in my heart. It will always be one of those albums that gives me nothing but fond memories.
Keith always was the heart of the Stones sound. His solo stuff always sounds like the Stones-compared to Jagger’s solo stuff that usually did not have that Stones sound.
Keith,is sounding amazing. Keith you are coming in blazing hot 🔥. You definitely deliver on rock and roll 🎉🎉. This song and album is a Masterpiece 🎉🎉. Life is a struggles🎉🎉.Keith you are hitting on some real shit,but you always do.
you can tell who the real star of the Stones is/was--Jagger and Richards came out with solo albums around the same time. Jagger's flopped. "Talk is Cheap" is indeed a masterpiece and one of my top 10 perfect albums of all time.
Tone is OFF ?? Tone is FUCKING PERFECT !!!! Dirty and raunchy, but still clear enough to pick up the notes in each chord. At times blurring the lines between music and total cacaphony. Pure rock and roll, at it's absolute finest ...
I would love to see some of these critics get up on stage and do this... Keith Richards is the soul of The Stones... if you don't get it, then stay the hell away.............
Some reason in 88 I couldn’t attend the show… I was a Finish Carpenter in Hollywood working at Roger Corman studios in Venice Beach.The scenic artist I worked with Beth was Keith Richards scenic artist. I can’t believe I didn’t catch KEITH’s show. I play oboe and Guitar. I’ve seen most of the stones shows since Anaheim Stadium for some girls 1978 both shows :-) best concert I ever went to :-) Pink Floyd the wall at the cow Palace was cool too :-)
i escaped from the Army and i was organised a car to take me away and i was a flashpoint in any case and when i sat on the backseat huuuge riff started STRUGGLE.amazing journey.Keef knows human feelings,he is a lighthouse for a human brains.
I watched this when it aired and up until now thought he was playing through the Marshall stack but he actually was playing through his MESA/Boogie MkI combo.
Always got a kick out of Keith's moves on this one when he starts in on the riff and watching Waddy Wachtel in the background sway his shoulders and suddenly looks back at the drummer when the beat drops in is just pure joy.
This band is so badass - at the time this aired I remember thinking HEY! The drummer and bassist switched places... I for one, love this performance. .::g
I lived upstairs at the Paramount theatre in Seattle helped the winos load their gear Keith's the lyric writer and can sing blues and belt out on the fender strat great fucking show
I've a Midwest hayseed from Iowa and have been to the Paramount in Seattle. I've got a day job and some chops. How'd you score a joint upstairs Bother Bob? That is absolutely ^#()&%$! Great!
Great performance!! I remember seeing this as a kid, I taped it and would get so pumped up when I would watch it. He looks like he is having the time of his life😘
Keith ia as Rough as a dirty ass dog. All heart and sharp as mother f8ckin knife. Great performance ! SNL - WOW- SNL should have them on again... Wine O's !!
Richard always said he didn't like to do solo career. He always likes to belong to the band that was born. That's why I don't focus so much on solo either. Jagger soloer I get a lot of hits. But Richard's record in 2015 was amazing, great songs and he did it overnight while touring with the Rolling Stones
Saw this band I Vancouver many years ago...he is my all time hero and I fought my way to the stage to be close...he gave me a fucking high five!..I touched God!...best moment of my life!..the only thing that ever came close to that feeling was slapping buddy guy on the back when he came into the crowd...
It doesn't get any better than this! Pure unadulterated raunchy rock from the Master himself... Keef! Please post "Take It So Hard" from the same show brother.
The drummer Steve Jordan and bassist is I think Charlie Drayton. They both played with Neil Young on his SNL appearance almost exactly a year later and that one hit it out of the park remarkably well too. No coincidence there I guess haha.
paulpaulpaulify "The drummer" was an original member of the house band on Letterman from '82-'85 or '86. Hooked up with Richards in '86 for Chuck Berry's 60th birthday celebration gig in St. Louis, which produced the 1987 concert film Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll!
I remember sitting in my room, chewing Red Man, and watching this when I was in the eighth grade. If you like this, you might like the band I am in now: "The Skanky Skunks." You can check us out on Facebook. So cool to be able to watch this again!! :)
True song, Keith knows how to express feelings and experiences. That live performance shows that it sounds as good as the studio version. And that live vid was recorded in 1988/1989 where technology was extremely poor. However, today technology's much more better - but live perfomings of every artist, excepting Keith and the Stones, sound like f*ck.
@set2light you're crazy, you should hear the original version, and so understand the good reviews it had at the time this solo album Keith. This was a highly acclaimed album by critics, do not criticize so quickly
