R.I.P. Bobby Keys.
 
The fifth Stone.

Here's a vid with a great solo. Go to about 5 minutes.

Another long song with some classic Bobby Keys work at the end.

Just had to listen to "Can't You Hear me Knocking" on vinyl. I thought his tone was great.

I saw him play with the Joe Ely Band about 5 years ago. He had to suck down at least 10 beers while on stage.

Evidently he was battling cirrhosis so perhaps not surprising.

God speed - there are a lot of great sax players up stairs...

R.I.P. Bobby!

That Rolling Stones lifestyle did him in. He and Keith were soul mates. Born on the same day. May he rest in peace. It's getting to be a pretty good band on the other side.....

What a bloody shame that Keys has played his last Sax solo. Now it is all just a memory...

Huge loss.

Yeah, I think he was well on his way in his wild Texas days before hooking up with the Stones. But boy was he surely a Stone!

He was the sixth Stone, until Wyman quit.

I thought Miles hated everybody...

yazhound 12-03-2014 10:04 AM

Well, there's a backup singer, or two, that might deserve mention...Lisa Fischer for sure, maybe Merry Clayton...
