More than 50 years. Jagger & Richards had Eric with them prior to the Stones. They were playing together with other guys. That's why Eric plays some lead on "Blue & Lonesome'. They did those Jimmy Reed songs back then.
1-29-2020 @Starship Trooper Talkin' 'bout "cats": IF there is one cat in the world with "9 lives", our Friend "Keef" IS that cat. Maybe he'll break all the records and be the 1st cat with TEN lives ☺ And absolutely, considering how many have left us and what these two have gone through, it's a "miracle they're both (still) here"....alive & live in person playin' 'da blues.
For his birthday he was given a tortoise that could live up to 200 years. He became upset and emotional, he asked why anybody would buy him a pet that would not live as long as he will. Joking aside, both are brilliant and I think we would all like to take them to the pub, buy them a beer or twenty and hear about their life.
Nobody is as heavy as Keith Richards. When it comes to getting as real as real gets Keith is in a league of his own. His vocals were fantastic and his playing always leaves me in awe. If you don't know what I mean then you really don't get keef.
I agree with you he would have sang More but that Primadonna Jagger didn't like it I love the stones but I do not like Jagger he's a great frontman but selfish
This was really fun to watch, I loved it. The simplicity of it I think, is what made it sound so great. Proving once again, that you dont have to be a guitarist that can play scales a million miles an hour to be a great guitar player!!
+DuckTalesWooHoo1987 You mean Jack Sparrow was lucky enough to play with Eric Clapton ! Johnny Depp probably went to the crossroads rehab center once upon a time. ( if your referring to Keith as Jack Sparrow then there's no hope for you,)
This is fantastic. Keith is getting better in every way. I never used to like him, but during this past year I have been gaining respect for him. Now I find this, I'm blown away.
have you ever seen a cllose up of Keith's hands? man he's got arthritis so bad I don't know how he does it. My hands hurt looking at his! He's one of the best riff writers ever!!! and Eric,.. theres nobody who writes a song like him. Just incredible feel ,love his solos!! 2 legends !!!
+Kirk Lorange That's the funniest thing I think I've ever heard. Still laughing. Thanks Kirk. Funnier than Clapton shreds even. Holy cow. Good one. But Keith is awesome.
This is great! Two really different approaches to playing the blues: Claptons style is more about the ferocity and Keiths style is more about the rhyhm and ground beat
Zwei lebende Rock- und Blueslegenden geben sich die Ehre. Das Leben spielt sich in ihren Gesichtern wieder. Besser kann man diesen Bluessong kaum spielen. Beide sind einfach große Klasse. Eric und Keith macht bitte weiter so!!!
We are so privileged to have so much music to enjoy these days ,,, the quality of the recordings,,,,,imagine 100 years from now , someone listening to this , much like we listen to Robert Johnson and other early blues musicians.... its timeless.... and they have secured their place in time
Proof that Keith can still play, I really hate when people say Keith can't play anymore. In your 70s obviously there will be some changes and Keith's had some guitar wise, but not a whole lot.
Don't worry Keith is no Brian Jones or Mick Taylor but he has his moments like on the album Beggars Banquet where he basically did all the guitar work except for a bit of slide from Brian. He did the great opening to Can't You Hear Me Knocking and many other great riffs. Not really a true lead guitarist but a damn good riff master.
Older weathered but sounding Great ! These Men are Masters , Long Live the Blues , Long Live Clapton and Richards ! Real damn Good Rock and Roll ! Pass the Whiskey !
austin angler Keith was a choir-boy for many years. Getting older has put some husk in his voice, which was a bit reedy in youth. You can hear him sing on the Some Girls album, which is one of their best.
Very true, Keith is best at singing blues. He sings it better than some true blues men honestly. He plays the blues better now honestly. Don't get me wrong he still plays Stone songs pretty good too, but seems he's slightly better at blues now.
Many people don’t know or realize that Sit Keith Richards has been shouldering the bands continuous success with his writing skills many experts believe he’s the reason for the longevity of the band and it’s staying power going on for decades.❤🎸🎸🎸❤️☮️☮️
76 assholes voted down this video. I can really respect Keith Richard's playing. Whenever I play the Stone's rhythm riffs I'm reminded just how easy they sound, yet so damn difficult to master. Keith's talent definitely lies within his right hand.
Keith and Eric, one perhaps the greatest guitar player ever and the other perhaps the greatest rock and roll legend and greatest writer opening riffs of all time. Royalty baby. The day Richard's passes will be the worst day in rock history. Imagine if he had not been born or died at 27. No stones, no honky tonk woman, no let it bleed, no sympathy for the devil, no street fighting man and on. And no playing in the key of richards...his open tuning style. That's the difference between clapton..a God and Richard's a miracle.
seen some amazing shows and crowd responses at the Garden, but it was hard to top this one. When the spotlight hit Keith the entire place went crazy. Nobody was expecting that.
Except Clapton had to step all over his vocal. Really? How often to we get to hear Keith sing? Geez…tried to extend his solo after the third verse too. What a dingleberry.
![Eric Clapton - I Shot The Sheriff [Crossroads 2010] (Official Live Video)](/img/n.gif)
These 2 cats go back 50 years together. It's a miracle they're both here to tell the story. I'm thankful they are.
I was at this concert, Crossroads 2013. Keith was surprise guest for us. Loved it. These are the greats!

@@buddylobos5277 That`s rubbish, I know the history, but I never heart that.They know each other from the Marquee, but that`s all.
@@buddylobos5277 Rubbish - where the hell did you get that from
Two titans who have known each other for the best part of sixty years, and still going strong. Long may they continue to pay homage to the blues.
I could not have said that any better myself.
Let it be!
Amen😊
Bravoooooo !!!!!
Genius ❤
I've never heard Keith sing this good before. He just keeps getting better as he gets older.
I was blown away!!
Это пацаны все наркота!?!?

@@bobrose1320 Some might not know hes singing lead on one song, on many RS records...often the best one!
9519 couldn't have said it better
Love seeing these two guys on stage together...two total legends who helped create an incredible soundtrack for our lives........rock on!
Yes!
Immortali soundfantastico!!!!
And Marcus Miller on bass ??🤔
@ironpluma thanks! :-)
Keith can't sing
Keith will never stop performing,he lives to entertain.
This was really fun to watch, I loved it. The simplicity of it I think, is what made it sound so great. Proving once again, that you dont have to be a guitarist that can play scales a million miles an hour to be a great guitar player!!
Eric Clapton has played with B.B., Jimi, Stevie, Buddy, and now Jack Sparrow. The legend continues.
+DuckTalesWooHoo1987 You mean Jack Sparrow was lucky enough to play with Eric Clapton ! Johnny Depp probably went to the crossroads rehab center once upon a time. ( if your referring to Keith as Jack Sparrow then there's no hope for you,)
+Keith Davis You're right. Keith played Cap'n Jack's Dad in the films.
Keef is the most understated singer songwriter Guitar player I
keef is Captain Teague, father of Jack Sparrow. Captain Teague is played by Keith.
the Beatles, Duane Allman, Jeff Lynne, Phil Collins, Sting, JJ Kale, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Mark Knofler, and countless others
two of the greatest guys who have played real music from the early sixties
Two Blues legends platino together on stage. Nothing is better than this.
I just love the way Eric Clapton finds the special links in the musical chain.
Keith Richards you Rock
Love you😊
Two greats. There will never be anyone else like them.
Derrick Trucks, Duane Allman, Steve Gaines,Garry Rossington, Dickey Betts, Allen Collins.
@@briano3128 etc etc
Truly awesome. And they go way back when they both were teenagers and discovered the blues - and still stick to it. Respect!
LiFers!
Anyone reading this check out Dirty Mac - Yer Blues (Superband with Keith, Clapton, Lennon & Mitch Mitchell
@@TavishMan ...and don't forget the one and only yoko on vocals..😄🙉
It is always a treat to see two great guitarists jam together.
what a privilege to see this. they compliment each other so well.
And they work well together, too.
It's listening to this that makes me feel ol' keef is a hugely underrated singer he just has the feel of this, awesome!
I never realized how good of a singer and player Keith actually is.
10 years ago and an all show Keith singing could be to much.
It is not common knowledge that he was choirboy at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. So he can sing.
Check out the X-Pensive winos
These guys make it look effortless.
@@stevenvaldez3520 All those pros make it look easy.
“I’m going back to the bottom, where I’m better known”. Blues lyrics at its best.

I just love watching these two legends play together and they sound great!!
Thank you for this. These two giants performing without the hype, just a natural flow is fantastic.
Been listening to Clapton since the 60s, love him, still the best! Was at this concert and Keith was a treat!
Born in 53. Clapton was God in my teen years. Then I discovered Richard Thompson :)
Adoro a Clapton y Richard pero como hendrix no.
This is fantastic. Keith is getting better in every way. I never used to like him, but during this past year I have been gaining respect for him. Now I find this, I'm blown away.
Keith's shoes show the red long Rolling Stones tonge jiji jiji 😊
Impresionante ..nunca habia visto esto
Y con 73 años algo he visto
His singing means a lot to me!!!
really well done good Job Keith Richards & Eric Clapton
Two of the top best guitar players of all time
Dva čovjeka koja su mi obilježila i usmjerila život. Hvala im.
Svakako 😊
Class act gentlemen. Class act.
Mr Clapton many thank for the Crossroads Shows. Thank you for your music and talent.
These two guys contributed to saving the blues in the 60s
Another stage filled with talent
Keef was as always the boss!! One of the best versions you will hear of this song.Huge ovation at the festival, not shown on this video.
Did anyone else notice eric going in for the second part of his solo but keith started singing
Yeh. Eric just laffed. Keefs a legend ha ha
We can count on both gentlemen to deliver our lovely hardcore Blues. It’s good shit!
Amazing how these two cool cats are still here but we are grateful they keep singing the blues.
Man, Keith just owns this! Playing those Robert Johnson licks and singing great!
Mr. Keith Richards. My fuckmothering hero.
Learned so much from him...
Two legends on their best....
have you ever seen a cllose up of Keith's hands? man he's got arthritis so bad I don't know how he does it. My hands hurt looking at his! He's one of the best riff writers ever!!! and Eric,.. theres nobody who writes a song like him. Just incredible feel ,love his solos!! 2 legends !!!
What a treat this rendition is ... sounds better every time I hear it.
We're all going to have to start thinking about what kind of a world we're leaving Keith.
+Kirk Lorange That's the funniest thing I think I've ever heard. Still laughing. Thanks Kirk. Funnier than Clapton shreds even. Holy cow. Good one. But Keith is awesome.
+4001XBASS Clapton is technically a superb guitarist and would have no trouble playing fast scales all day if he had that idiotic ambition.
+DucksDeLucks Should they put the shredders in a shredder?
+Mark Kelly YES! they're making a bloody racket!
+Kirk Losanghe Do Not pls ... !!!! Keith will live and we will die hopefully .. so ... no pain at all ... ok ??
Two LEGENDS🎸🎸
One of the better performances by Keith. He did the right thing, did not sing or play too much. Great guitar sound!
This is great! Two really different approaches to playing the blues: Claptons style is more about the ferocity and Keiths style is more about the rhyhm and ground beat
Eric Clapton și Keith sunt monumente istorice.!!! Gaby
Zwei lebende Rock- und Blueslegenden geben sich die Ehre. Das Leben spielt sich
in ihren Gesichtern wieder. Besser kann man diesen Bluessong kaum spielen.
Beide sind einfach große Klasse. Eric und Keith macht bitte weiter so!!!
Absolute cool. Pure blues. I love it!
Keith. It's always been Keith. Voice, guitar, you name it. Clapton and RIchards would've made a great project together.
I just find mick jagger cringeworthy.

Super quel moment

Roger that....
Agreed. No disrespect to Clapton but his rhythm outshines Clapton's lead imo during that first solo
he could never play. Mick Taylor and Brain Jones both played way better guitar
Don't worry Keith is no Brian Jones or Mick Taylor but he has his moments like on the album Beggars Banquet where he basically did all the guitar work except for a bit of slide from Brian. He did the great opening to Can't You Hear Me Knocking and many other great riffs. Not really a true lead guitarist but a damn good riff master.
CJ Howard He's never been a virtuoso but his riffing, tone, timing and writing are world class.
Older weathered but sounding Great ! These Men are Masters , Long Live the Blues , Long Live Clapton and Richards ! Real damn Good Rock and Roll ! Pass the Whiskey !
This might be my favorite Keith performance ever. His vocal is so strong...his riffs so full of soul, Wow. And that other guitarist ain't bad either.
2 huge icons playing together and making the blues sound phenomenal 🎉🎉. They are truly putting on a stellar performance for sure 🎉🎉
I'm glad the two rock legends are still playing.
Absolutely beautiful!
Wow didn't expect Keith to be such a good singer
austin angler Keith was a choir-boy for many years. Getting older has put some husk in his voice, which was a bit reedy in youth. You can hear him sing on the Some Girls album, which is one of their best.
+Austin Angler Listen to Keith on "Happy" and "Before They Make me run" for the best of Keith's vocals!
Keith Richard put out I'm not sure how many albums sings in them all
It's Great hearing my good friend Keith Richards singing the Blues !!
Ícones
This is music!!!!!!
Great band behind!!!Clapton and Keith real deal!!!
Surprinsingly good! Keith should be singing more blues like this, it suits him much better than singing RS songs nowadays.
hell yes--THIS is blues baby!!!!
Listen to keith's solo albums. Theyre amazing. And notably songs like trouble.
two great legends cool tune
Very true, Keith is best at singing blues. He sings it better than some true blues men honestly. He plays the blues better now honestly. Don't get me wrong he still plays Stone songs pretty good too, but seems he's slightly better at blues now.
Mickey Hay n
Master class
These guys though. Absolute class!
Keith is tough. Clapton never been.
Wow, great performance . Love this👍👍👍👍
Clapton plays at guitar like it's something easily done he makes it look that way he is totally awesome
Keith authentic blues playing
What a treat and Keith still looking like such a happy guy, always smiling.
Two awesome Icons
Two of the UK's greatest Bluesmen

I have been watching and listening to these two megastars since the beginning. What a treat to see them together playing their first love, THE BLUES!
Lovely to see the two guitarists. These buddies been at it since their early careers who have played with the greatest blues players ever lived ❤
Oh my God!! Wonderful!!!! 😍
That's raw, dirty and nasty, just the way I like my blues. ^_^

❤ FANTASTIC MUSIC DUO! 🎶
Some Great Blues here Boys! Great Playing 🎶👍

Two of my favorites,the real deal!🖤💀
TWO VERY CLASSIC MUSICIANS. LOVE IT !
Two of my favorite singer/guitarists. Keef Richards & Ole Slow Hand Eric Clapton
Maybe they could get together and form a group: Derek and the Keefs, The Rolling Cream, or something like that. That was pure magic.
They could also join up with Lennon and Mitch Mitchell to form a band...
That would be wild! Good suggestion!
Dirty Mac !
Fucking brilliant 👏, Keith can really sing . love it,
Have u heard his BEFORE U MAKE ME RUN brilliant.
Every time I listen to this and watch it I just realized more and more that Richard is totally a cool cat without even trying he just has it
No discussion, the best rock star ever on the planet, hold on Keith and thanks grandpa Gus for the talent you got.
Keith make the simplest sound sublime. He really has that sweet touch.
Clapton is just a driving force. First Cream album is just a masterpiece.
I didn't realize Keith was that good ! ! ! ****
are you ten? better late than never...enjoy
this Guy wrotes the best riffs of the rock and roll history
I think these guys go back more like 65 years. I got hip to the Stones around 63-64. Then Clapton in 66 with Fresh Cream.. im 70.
Two of the best !!!
Wow - what a voice!
Keef still makes my heart do the lurch. Big time, with chills.
What Keith doesn't play is just as impactful as what he does play...subtlety and restraint at its best.
That's the way to play the blues. Music, actually, no?
This is two music icons @ work! Take s look @ those shoes of Keith Richards !!!!
Well done, Keith.
My two all time heroes 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇬🇧
Keith,and Clapton !!!!!!! Clapton ,and B.B King versions of this song. You cannot compare legends. Both versions are spectacular!!!!!!
Black man gave birth to the blues and should always be given credit for the gift of bluesmusic to the world.Big Bill, Robert Johnson, rip.
