Late 80s Keith is probably my favourite version, got all the wisdom and also the chops and still the coolest guy ever

Richard in early age had a great voice…

Every time I see him playing music, Paul Shaffer always looks like he's having the time of his life!

Keith is a good guy and it shows in this gem of a video

Paul Schaffer is a genius. An amazing musician and the best talk show sidekick ever.

I recorded this on VHS when I was a kid. I loved the sounds Keith was getting out of his telecaster. I wore the tape out and never forgot about this episode. Thanks very much for posting this!

One of the best interviews he talks about the songs he wrote

Fantastic find! Keith is the coolest cat in rock'n'roll, full-stop.

Back when TV and Music still had substance

It is very nice to see this show again. I greatly remembered first watching this episode back on June 20, 1986.

Keith always seems like nothing bothers him, i sometimes wish i was like that because i stress and ruminate on things from the past that i did wrong

When Keith was still Keith. great upload

Thanks for putting this out for all of us to see . Keith at his best, elegantly wasted !! Paul is no slouch either. He's a legend in as a session player. The man is highly respected in the music industry. He can play anything at anytime , both Keith n Paul are legends in there own unique ways...great video.

This is a real gem. Thanks for posting.

Good to see Bass player, Marcus Miller, playing along with Keith and Paul. :-)

THIS IS PRICELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul S. is an undefeated force in music

Paul can get any sound he wants and chime in with any legend seamlessly. He’s also one of the few super nice guys that gets the respect of all the bad asses because he’s just that knowledgeable and intelligent and uninhibited without a hint of pretense. In other words yes nerdy Paul Schaffer is cool.

To the guy on youtube teaching stones songs - you've just been replaced

Lovely lost times ..

my fav keefer phase is mid 80s an on point...the Stones and Keith second half starts here

Keef being Keef. Class.

I love how Karate Kid is just coming out during this show.

plus Marcus Miller!! what a combo

classic,thanks for this.

Back when tv was casually brilliant.

Smile smile

Beyond

Keith looks and sounds healthy here. Hell of guitar player. My favorite Stones records are the Mick Taylor years. Mick plays pretty standard rock licks on a Les Paul while Keith moves around him on his Tele. Some of my favorite solos are Mick's too.

Satisfaction dream

Thank you Tatas!

They were all pretty buzzed but Paul was feeling it a little more.

It was interesting how both Paul and Keith vocalized the Satisfaction riff in the wrong key. They started it in F# instead of B.

This was when he was having his daughters with Patti Hansen and he and Mick were at each others throat. I think he was doing the Chuck Berry bio pick at this time as well, so it was a period of time he was more visible than he had been in years

I always wanted to watch "Friday Night Videos" but by the time I was a teenager in the nineties the show got cancelled.

i believe i bought dirty work in may or april of 86-the week it came out....

I love Keith's Tele tone. His stories though ... They're always slightly different in the detail.

All in

Happy 70th Keef

This is great footage, awesome upload

It's funny that Little Richard thinks "England" has three syllables and Keith thinks that "Diddley" has three syllables. :)

Intro voice the late Scott (self proclaimed 5th Beetle) Muni. DJ from WNEW FM another lifetime ago.

lol PS asked Keith about it and he said, "uhhh it goes like this." wonderful insight from the rolling stones

Memphis

You dream it

Sounds to me like Paul Shaffer was trying to interpret Keef's British speaking for the American audience. By repeating what Keef was saying but in an American way. Obviously T.v. was a lot different in those days. Lot to do with the over exposure today's artists are getting. It was so cool when you knew your favorite rock star was going to be on a t.v. so cool that a lot of us kids would stay over another friends house so you could enjoy the appearance with your best friends. Now any kid can catch the latest rockstar experience at their fingertips. Nothing for today's youth to share with each other on a different level like said above.

Actually Keith came up with the riff to Satisfaction in a hotel in Florida, not the London Hilton. That's drugs for ya.

I would very much love 2 have Brunch w/Keith, I'm 50 baby, I've live life w you up 2 now

Chuck

I don't understand what makes Shaffer "famous" other than combining enormous insecurity with enormous ego. I guess there is hope for everybody.

Cool meets Uncool.

Is that Willie Weeks on bass?

On the left, is it one of the Muppets ? Lol

Keith Richards RIP

Esp. Ronnie wood telecaster...

What is a "Fendert"...?

うーん、やっぱりキースのカッティングはすごいんですね。

Slight difference in talent here. Shaffer and Richards compare like Pee Wee Herman and Lenny Bruce.

So a lounge lizard interviews a legend? :)

Paul Shafer knows the bass line of 19th nervous breakdown was Brian Jones the only white guy who could do bo Diddley. I'm not kidding.

At least Keith admits that he has ripped himself off. The riff from Rocks Off is the same as Before They Make Me Run among other Stones song that sound the same.. However Brian Jones came up with the riff on The Last Time, not Keith. and Jones had a lot to do with all the other early stones hits espically Ruby Tuesday and Paint it Black but he and was never given any writing credit so he quit in 1969 and died the same year. Too bad. I'm glad the 3 remaining Stones are still out there at 75 years old but I did not want to pay 300 bucks to see them last time they were in town.

That ESP Tele sounds like shit! Keith sounds much better with a Fender Telecaster. ESP must have paid him big bucks during this time for the endorsement.

I'm baffled. How can people accept this guy as Keith Richards? This is clearly not the same person that played Keith Richards pre-1979. Has the world gone bonkers? I wouldn't even call this guy a look-alike replacement. He looks nothing like the Keith Richards from the 70's.

rubbish, first bit anyway
