I just found this old video of George Harrison, and he sings a song at about 2:30 into the video! I nearly peed myself!!!

You'd have to live in the UK to catch that show. That looked like a 1980ish Robert Plant.

1985 Live Aid Concert in JKF Stadium, Phila, PA.

When Keith Richards and Ronny Wood took to the stage half stoned on Jack Daniels,

When Led Zep reunited with Phil Collins on drums playing Stairway while Jimmy Page was ready to puke from the shot of heroin he must have just did,

Last but not least, when Mick Jagger and Tina Turner took the stage and stole the show.

I'll never forget it!:rolleyes:

I must admit the Richards "Batter UP" move was a classic.

Another was when Robert Plant with Zeppelin whacked some threatning fan with the Microphone. Hit him right in the dome too.

My counterpart at the open mic gig had to perform the Richards manoeuver a couple of weeks ago. He said it was just like a hockey fight - had to keep hold of his "stick" the whole time. Amazingly, the "stick" never went out of tune, either :D

Nice! I'm a huge Fender fan, too!

Wondering if I can get a custom Fender bass with special metal plating for an extra good bash... :hehe:

How did his guitar stay in tune, you ask?

It stayed in tune because it's a fender. :)

Sweet video! That's now one of my favorites as well! How did his guitar stay in tune?

I remember some freak who got onstage while Bob Dylan was performing during an awards show. The dude didn't have a shirt on, and had some protest thing written on his stomach. He needed the "Keith Richards Adjustment," too. I can't find a video of it, though...

Keith Richards. Balloons. Some Clown Rushing the Stage. Puts his Guitar Back On Afterwards.

Undoubtedly the greatest moment.

Wow does that bring back memories.

For me they are more personal.

Opening for BB King in 2004 and getting to talk about music after the show

Being invited to play at Madison Square Garden in 2005 for the Katrina benefit, and some other Katrina benefit shows I was directly involved in with my band we raised over $14,000.00 for the Musicians Village housing

In 2006 the view I had from behind one of my heros while playing on stage with him at Legends, and him autographing all 3 of his signature polka dot guitars that I own.

Getting to meet and sit in with Robert Lockwood Jr shortly before he passed away, the last direct tie to Robert Johnson, what a man.
