Yeah, this wasn't even a year after Lennon was shot. I love how Keith with just instinct picks up the guitar and pulls a Mark Mcquire on this dudes head. Then he puts the guitar back on, doesn't even break a smile or miss a beat. Got to love Keith!
Not only was there the Zappa incident at the rainbow, but if memory serves concerning this incident's legend, it was just after John Lennon was shot to death by a nutter.
fuck that punk! I hate assholes who jump on stage. ruins the whole vibe of the show. i'd do the same thing. Keith almost got him if you look closely enough. the kid was smart enough to duck at least. i hope the roadie beat him senseless.
@ZeropointZero70 Yeah, I hate it when some bozo gets up on stage at a concert. This wasn't even a year after Lennon got shot, so, Keith was fending for himself. Didn't want to take any chances. Moral Of Story: Don't Mess With Keith Richards!
Wow I'll bet he's been wanting to take a swing like that at Mick for years wwhhhhaaaaaa...but that's gotta hurt..a maple tellee right across the puss!!!....is thatguy allright?
I just saw the full footage on TV...I remembered seein it on the Daily Show. I just missed the hand-to-hand combat on TV. They outta go to the troops and givem a seminar.
errr read my comment again you thick fuck wit, see no mention of your beloved keef?, I was referring to Pete Townsend, now fuck off and stop bothering me.
I wish i was that dude that almost got hit and after got bailed out by Richards

The admirable part about this incident is that after the concert, Richards went to the station and bailed the guy out.
