Keith Richards Paul Shaffer Friday Night Video 1986 part 1

Enjoy! Keith and Paul Shaffer 1986

[@judewessel5713]

Late 80s Keith is probably my favourite version, got all the wisdom and also the chops and still the coolest guy ever

[@dannysound1]

Richard in early age had a great voice…

[@geneobrien8907]

Every time I see him playing music, Paul Shaffer always looks like he's having the time of his life!

[@avandguard]

Keith is a good guy and it shows in this gem of a video

[@glennthompson6868]

I recorded this on VHS when I was a kid. I loved the sounds Keith was getting out of his telecaster. I wore the tape out and never forgot about this episode. Thanks very much for posting this!

[@jabom99]

Paul Schaffer is a genius. An amazing musician and the best talk show sidekick ever.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Wayne T .....indeed! A genius! ✌️🇨🇦

[@jamesriddle2517]

One of the best interviews he talks about the songs he wrote

[@keefriff99]

Fantastic find! Keith is the coolest cat in rock'n'roll, full-stop.

[@rdoetjes]

Back when TV and Music still had substance

[@justmadeit2]

Keith always seems like nothing bothers him, i sometimes wish i was like that because i stress and ruminate on things from the past that i did wrong

[@judewessel5713]

It’d be pretty hard to be worried abt anything when u wrote all the stones tunes and r literally the coolest person of all time

It is very nice to see this show again. I greatly remembered first watching this episode back on June 20, 1986.

[@exiled59]

When Keith was still Keith. great upload

[@peterfoglaidh1885]

Thanks for putting this out for all of us to see . Keith at his best, elegantly wasted !! Paul is no slouch either. He's a legend in as a session player. The man is highly respected in the music industry. He can play anything at anytime , both Keith n Paul are legends in there own unique ways...great video.

[@mark11967AD]

Paul can get any sound he wants and chime in with any legend seamlessly. He’s also one of the few super nice guys that gets the respect of all the bad asses because he’s just that knowledgeable and intelligent and uninhibited without a hint of pretense. In other words yes nerdy Paul Schaffer is cool.

[@mikewallace1270]

This is a real gem. Thanks for posting.

[@MikeStone3000]

Good to see Bass player, Marcus Miller, playing along with Keith and Paul. :-)

[@ukraininoak]

THIS IS PRICELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zelpho3]

To the guy on youtube teaching stones songs - you've just been replaced

[@krisscanlon4051]

my fav keefer phase is mid 80s an on point...the Stones and Keith second half starts here

[@michaelluczak3019]

Paul S. is an undefeated force in music

[@nonokbh]

Lovely lost times ..

[@kirkwatson1442]

[@iwillnevergetone5]

plus Marcus Miller!! what a combo

[@smoovegittar]

Keef being Keef. Class.

[@Dazlidorne]

I love how Karate Kid is just coming out during this show.

[@RollingOrmond]

Part II.

[@1td205]

It was interesting how both Paul and Keith vocalized the Satisfaction riff in the wrong key. They started it in F# instead of B.

[@billpholde4816]

They were all pretty buzzed but Paul was feeling it a little more.

[@steveconn]

Back when tv was casually brilliant.

[@jostasteenbekkers5620]

[@kirkwatson1442]

Satisfaction dream

[@MrUltraworld]

Keith looks and sounds healthy here. Hell of guitar player. My favorite Stones records are the Mick Taylor years. Mick plays pretty standard rock licks on a Les Paul while Keith moves around him on his Tele.
Some of my favorite solos are Mick's too.

[@thomassabino5440]

Keith looks good but I'd bet the farm he is high

[@geneobrien8907]

You can tell by the raspy voice and the constant scratching, he's loaded for sure.

[@woody816]

Thomas Sabino it would be more sarcastic if u said "fuk keef looks straight"

[@jamesscully529]

This was when he was having his daughters with Patti Hansen and he and Mick were at each others throat. I think he was doing the Chuck Berry bio pick at this time as well, so it was a period of time he was more visible than he had been in years

[@stuartgray2440]

classic,thanks for this.

[@Losmescalitos]

I love Keith's Tele tone. His stories though ... They're always slightly different in the detail.

[@slaterslater5944]

The man is very good at creating his own mythology :-) Never one to let the truth get in the way of a good yarn.

[@derekwilliams1660]

I always wanted to watch "Friday Night Videos" but by the time I was a teenager in the nineties the show got cancelled.

[@liverneck2001]

i believe i bought dirty work in may or april of 86-the week it came out....

[@eg4449]

I did too, it was the first Stones album I got as a "new release".

[@RollingOrmond]

have a copy signed by Charlie Watts on Ebay if you're interested.

[@eg4449]

Thank you Tatas!

DJ from WNEW FM another lifetime ago.

[@jameshalford1180]

lol PS asked Keith about it and he said, "uhhh it goes like this." wonderful insight from the rolling stones

[@WilliamDavidPrichard]

It's funny that Little Richard thinks "England" has three syllables and Keith thinks that "Diddley" has three syllables. :)

[@kirkwatson1442]

Memphis

[@nippegmt]

Happy 70th Keef

[@dmzabo3914]

Sounds to me like Paul Shaffer was trying to interpret Keef's British speaking for the American audience. By repeating what Keef was saying but in an American way. Obviously T.v. was a lot different in those days. Lot to do with the over exposure today's artists are getting. It was so cool when you knew your favorite rock star was going to be on a t.v. so cool that a lot of us kids would stay over another friends house so you could enjoy the appearance with your best friends. Now any kid can catch the latest rockstar experience at their fingertips. Nothing for today's youth to share with each other on a different level like said above.

[@kirkwatson1442]

You dream it

[@JoeKooL25]

This is great footage, awesome upload

[@RollingOrmond]

Actually Keith came up with the riff to Satisfaction in a hotel in Florida, not the London Hilton. That's drugs for ya.

[@RollingOrmond]

***** Yeah, a lot of that was copied from the Victor Bockris biography.

[@richardvosacek7901]

[@_Singularity_]

yeah but he was also remembering back 20 years

[@robmills1004]

When i first heard the story 50 yrs ago keith said it was a motel room in Albuquerque new mexico, so who really knows

[@michellewestusa]

I would very much love 2 have Brunch w/Keith, I'm 50 baby, I've live life w you up 2 now

[@CarmieSchulz]

I don't understand what makes Shaffer "famous" other than combining enormous insecurity with enormous ego. I guess there is hope for everybody.

[@RollingOrmond]

He had the greatest late-night band on tv. Have some respect.

[@ksr9t]

My opinion too. Somehow he always seems to get the music director job during the hall of fame, which is a joke in itself, blowouts. All I see is him jumping around try to get some attention from the real stars who in turn hardly even notice him. Never like him or especially the giggling idiot Dave.

[@MrJayspeaks]

Cool meets Uncool.

[@ThomasDeLello]

What is a "Fendert"...?

[@CarmieSchulz]

Slight difference in talent here. Shaffer and Richards compare like Pee Wee Herman and Lenny Bruce.

[@canadianroot]

Dan Michaels I don't think Shaffer tries to compare himself to Richards. Paul is technically proficient, and is a good musical director. From all accounts, he's a nice guy. Richards plays by touch and feel, and needs no evaluation of talent by me. I'm a huge fan.

[@CarmieSchulz]

I was only joking. I never liked Shaffer but he did all right for himself as you said.

[@canadianroot]

Dan Michaels Musically, or as a sidekick? He did tend to sound whiny, no doubt, but I guess his job was to echo Dave and say the odd witty thing.

[@thomassabino5440]

I totally disagree,Shaffer is one of the BEST studio musicians,of course he's no Keith but he's no slouch either

[@adanacman666]

totally different musicians, keith is the riffmaster, extremly creative ,driven ,and knows were to steal from, but adds his touch, and his lyrics are ,well they speak for themselves,Shaffer is a very talented musician and can play anything ,anytime ,anywhere,he also knows how to lead a band ,which is no small feat,theres a reason he is a musical director in New York City and for David Letternan

[@ursulaplatt5000]

Paul Shafer knows the bass line of 19th nervous breakdown was Brian Jones the only white guy who could do bo Diddley. I'm not kidding.

[@erintaylor5856]

So a lounge lizard interviews a legend? :)

[@softailspringer9915]

That's not a fair characterization of Paul. C'mon now!

[@erintaylor5856]

It's his style. He's a good musician. But he's tacky. Just my take.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Lounge lizard? You're flat out wrong. Shaffer is one of the best in the business and has played with all the greats for a reason.

[@erintaylor5856]

Show me ONE time where he's not doing that velvet lounge version of a song? I really would like to believe

[@adanacman666]

boy u dead wrong on that one, calling shaffer a lounge lizard, would be like saying, micheal jordan is a roof shingler

[@donbuck8110]

At least Keith admits that he has ripped himself off. The riff from Rocks Off is the same as Before They Make Me Run among other Stones song that sound the same.. However Brian Jones came up with the riff on The Last Time, not Keith. and Jones had a lot to do with all the other early stones hits espically Ruby Tuesday and Paint it Black but he and was never given any writing credit so he quit in 1969 and died the same year. Too bad. I'm glad the 3 remaining Stones are still out there at 75 years old but I did not want to pay 300 bucks to see them last time they were in town.

[@Xcorgi]

That ESP Tele sounds like shit! Keith sounds much better with a Fender Telecaster. ESP must have paid him big bucks during this time for the endorsement.

[@blakeestell2086]

Xcorgi I think it's bc Ronnie Wood has a ESP signature, that's probably what Keith has here

[@ursulaplatt5000]

No, it's just Keith Richards. He kinda sucks kiddies

[@dmh497]

I'm baffled. How can people accept this guy as Keith Richards? This is clearly not the same person that played Keith Richards pre-1979. Has the world gone bonkers? I wouldn't even call this guy a look-alike replacement. He looks nothing like the Keith Richards from the 70's.

[@SuperStuey2]

+dmh497 Hmmmm.... I'm baffled that you think that's not Keef.

[@RollingOrmond]

+dmh497 Was off heroin by then, face looked slightly healthier than the '70s.

[@platter1000]

blink...it is keith, trust me. it has been said he has a million faces. i have met him recently and he is a swell guy

[@regularcitizenofffarquhar4698]

Not one of these PaulIsDead bullshit stories again.
Point 1. People get older, so their appearance changes
Point 2. He quit heroin, and looks healthier, still wasted but healthy,
Point 3. It was the eighties. Everybody changed their style.

[@Sixalienasa]

rubbish, first bit anyway
