So. While we're waiting for the Santa Clara concert goers to start uploading their videos particularly of Mercy Mercy (because it came up on the vote), let us gaze upon the beautiful man that was Keith Richards in his younger days.
Lest I be accused of slanted reporting re: Keith Richards. Here he is not-so-elegantly wasted. Messing up his own song. Jagger carrying the performance. Totally takes up for his friend even when he's coked out himself.
This is how you wreck your talent on heroin. This is HIS song.
I find your enthusiasm for the Rolling Stones very infectious. I have been to two Stones' concerts. I was living in Paris in 2003. A friend bought tickets and we went to a show at the Olympia, a small theater. I enjoyed it, especially Stray Cat Blues. I returned the favor and the next month we went to Twickenham, UK, to see a show in the football stadium there. My favorite song that night was Star idiot.
My friend has since died. He left his collection of Stones posters, t-shirts, and the like to me because I'd gone to those shows with him. I haven't even unpacked all of the large, cardboard box that I received them in. I have been holding them to give to a true fan, which you seem to be, who could appreciate the items.
Some of the items are bootleg recordings of concerts. I recall listening to about a dozen that I read up online were some of the better performances and good quality recordings. Other CDs are collections of rare recordings. I quite like one called the Stripped Companion.
Private message me if you'd like me to ship these items to you. I'm not looking to sell them. I don't want any money for them. I just have no real interest in them and they're in the way, collecting dust. A true Stones fan would probably like them.
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

Well, I can't entirely endorse the lyrics to "Star Star" (a.k.a. Starfucker) but the music totally ROCKS and rocks hard! I'm still trying to find a video of them performing it that will half-way pass muster on this board in terms of NSFW type stuff. I wouldn't want anyone opening the link in the living room with kids around. Also, most of the videos have various clips of the Stones, many of which are from (speaking in code here) the CS Blues film. But yes, the music itself is an example of their best in SF!
As to your offer? I will message you!

This is for Holy Ghost, his fav in the 2003 Paris concert. This is called "Star Star" from the Let it Bleed Album. It's real title is "Starfucker". As I stated previously, I can't endorse the lyrics. It's about groupies, draw your own conclusions from that and the title.
The music is awesome on all counts though.
NSFW!!! Not safe to listen to around kids!!! Lyrics are nasty!!!

Bobby was the go-to sessions sax player for years before the Stones heard him (I think he was with Delaney & Bonnie & Friends). Lived in Keith's infamous chalet in the South of France while recording. Some great Stones stories and Rock 'n Roll history.

Trust me, I know who Bobby Keys was. Amazing!!! No offense to their current sax man (men) but...not even close fellas. (Like Clarence Clemons in the E Street Band...irreplaceable.)
Is that the chalet where they recorded Exile? Because they were exiled? They set up a recording studio in the basement of Keith's house.
Thanks for the link! I'll definitely watch it!

I will message you!
I'm gonna guess the audience vote will be for Whip.
