[Fandangotours]

Great upload.

[chocolade22]

I love Keef at the end, when he hughed and talked to boys... ;) especially when he says: " aww, sweetheart". That was just so cute :333

[MrRobin14669]

@chocolade22 That "aww, sweetheart" was for his daughter Angela (also known as Dandelion, her mother is Anita Pallenberg)

[kemronirons]

God they were ugly!

[IdolHans]

I got so drunk that night the cops had to give me a ride home. Boy were they pissed!

[JoeTokio]

This was on Richards' birthday.

[rustyjames761]

[74jailbreaker]

Is that fuckin Chevy Chase at 3:05??!!!!??

[ciaobellakate]

COOL!

[Stillatwoodstock1]

what is mick saying about the camera man? any lip readers?

[yorkeysa]

Who's that woman on Ronnie's arm? All dressed up to do him harm... She looks like a female David Bowie :-)

[platter1000]

@yorkeysa it's his girlrfrien jo. they got married but have since parted.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@yorkeysa ...That's insane...right after that they go into a JEAN JEANIE opening riff...They probably used to give Ronnie shit...

[TheNaturalust]

great footage , Freddie Sessler, Bill Graham, All the Stones, Marlon and Jerry Hall, all the good personalities were there. Great upload. Much Thanks. peace.

[RadioCannedMusic]

@TheNaturalust Finally, someone who mentions Freddie, Marlon & Jerri! So many great people back then hanging out, giving support to ol' friends. Lots of Rock & Roll 60's British Rock Trivia history in this. I was just waiting for the right die-hard Stones fan to come up with this.

Now can you name the sheep? Just kidding!

[oreokookie1000]

Whats all this horshit???...ya mean I gotta do all this jive before I go onstage next time and play a stones cover???......

[rocktenniscats]

Hey, there's a Small Face there! Mr. Ian "Mac" McLagan, one of my faves....

[scootientherock]

@rocktenniscats ....and the late, great Ian Stewart sporting the Astros jersey !

[bbender1975]

Keith rockin' the Mesa Boogie Mark 1. That was his main amp for years. If you look closely at Charlie's drum kit on this tour, it's surrounded with Mark 1's. What an amp! And of course, Happy Belated 38th, Keith!

[173rdbobby1967]

Ronnie's coked up haha

[TeraNcharly75]

I ´d really liked to be in that strange demi-paty pre gig with my natural english & american bros. thanks to share this with real 36years old fan. Realmente me mola!!! Gracias!!

[TheTtomo]

[ukraininoak]

[blondblasterr]

Keith is classic Keith and Charlie's pants are hilarious. Thorogood even.

[PENTADACTYLON]

Dec 18, 1981 --- Keith´s birthday... (38)

[DrugStabbingTime]

Great stuff!

[KUTVgroucho]

Funny, looking at this backstage footage belies all the stuff written in certain Stones bios (i.e. Stephen Davis) how everyone despised Ronnie Wood and how Jagger and Richards weren't on speaking terms during this '81 tour.

[rolodexroulette]

@KUTVgroucho Mick and Keith's relationship looks like it's always been, sibling rivalry. And as for Ronnie... I am near positive no one hated Ronnie, the reason he even got the gig to replace Taylor was because everyone liked him so much... Yes he was hired to replace Mick Taylor, but EVERYONE said they got someone they could stand to live with... Stephen Davis is a tosspot if you ask me.

[daniel213141]

@rolodexroulette I second that. I read the biographies of both Wood and Richards and there was no mention of animosity between the two. They've been friends for along time. There was certainly concern at one point over Ron Wood free basing coke, but a concern born out of friendship.

[TracyFClark]

@KUTVgroucho I think what we are seeing here is a band getting ready to go on stage. Anyone who has played in a band knows that what goes on offstage, stays offstage. When you are onstage it's a whole different matter. Whatever problems Jagger & Rihcards had at the time didn't have anything to with getting on with the show. I imagine when the tour was over these guys weren't exactly best buddies.

[hershysquirts187]

george thorogood is awsome

[peithkichard]

cool!

[polecatsfan]

amazin footage, thanks for posting :)
