Back in 1990, I moved to the sleepy little town of Evansville, IN from Atlanta (my then wife was from here). A couple weeks after we got here I was driving past a little dive that used to be a Dunkin' Donuts and had been converted into a bar years before. Out front they had one of those yellow portable marquee signs and it read "Friday nite.....Bobby Keys".....turns out one of the guys in the band had spent some time in Nashville and got to know Bobby, and brought him up to play with the band. So, for a $5 cover my wife and I got to cram into this little bar and hear Bobby, up close and personal. First song, of course, was "Brown Sugar".....I'll NEVER forget it!

Now you've got me hooked John . Been watching some of my favorite Stones videos on You Tube. A cool one is The Rolling Stones Can't You Hear Me Knocking Live Official - with over 2 mil views. I don't know how to put up links or I would put it up .

It's easy, with Youtube videos. John posted just this link:

All that takes is copying and pasting the URL.

But if you want to embed a video, you take everything after the "v=" which in this case is the "C0bxMWdOMbs" bit, then you put that bit between (youtube) and (/youtube) BUT USE SQUARE BRACKETS INSTEAD OF PARENTHESES. I used the parentheses so you could see the construction without the screen trying to show a video.

and it comes out like this.

August 30,2019-Last show of the US Tour. Should have been the 1st one but postponed due to Mick's valve surgery. Hurricane Dorian approaching, they decided to go on with the concert starting a bit earlier. I drove all the way from Orlando to Miami while everyone was heading North running away from the storm.

This was the next to last song (Satisfaction being the last one). As he started singing "Oh a storm is threatening my very life today...." it started pouring. The whole crowd starts roaring/applauding/dancing. The vibe was incredible. (Disclosure-neither one of these were recorded by me. I was just one of the 65,000 fans).

That's the one- thanks for putting the link up. Bobbys' tone is e q'd really well on that one- pro sound and video.
Welcome Frank. They hired the absolute best sound people for their tours and the sax is/was a very important and vital part of their music and they knew and respected it :)

Here's one of my favorites of Can't You Hear Me Knocking because it has both Bobby Keys and Mick Taylor.

That is very cool, thanks for those links. Those guys are real troupers. Sadly, I never got to see them live. Great that you were there.
