Keef on bass - some great footage from Sympathy for the Devil rehearsals

Apologies if this has been posted before but I've only just spotted this. Starts off with Wyman on bass but he moves over to percussion about half way through & Keef takes over on a nice old P bass:

and here's PArt 2 with Keef up & grooving a bit more:

mm interesting watch. This was always one of my favourite Stones songs.

Also, amazing pink boots

Great, hadn't seen this, thanks for posting.

Those are from the Jean-Luc Godard film, aren't they?
If you fast-forward through the "arty" bits that film gives a fascinating view of them in the studio.
And if anybody has a clue what the "arty" bits are about, I'd love to know!

'Course it wasn't a "nice old P bass" then, more like one the studio bought last week ... "Oi Dave! The Stones need another bass. Yeh, [i][b]another [/b][/i]bass! Pop down to Regent Sounds and buy another P would you? See if you can get it on tick."

Great posting.

I think I may add it to my setlist

Makes me feel a bit sad this. Only 'cause it looks like there's a Vox Supreme in the background, I had to let mine go for a pittance a few years back as I was in desperate need of cash. Great footage though.

I have a great canvas in my living room of Keef playing a Vox bass

Great to see the late Nicky Hopkins on keys. For those who dont know, he played on most Stones records, and The Beatles Revolution and John Lennons Imagine album too!

I used to see Nicky Hopkins playing with the Jeff Beck Group.
