Keith Richards - Connection


This is a live performance by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards playing the song "Connection" live. It's from some sort of gig called "Sevilla's Guitar Legends" and the members look like a lot of guys from Richard's X-Pensive Winos project, I know I recognize Steve Jordan on drums. We also get a quick glimpse of Steve Cropper playing in the background. And in fact after the song even more famous people takes the stage, ready for an encore all star jam sort of thing, among them is Bob Dylan. As far as I can find out, the concert is from 1992.
The song "Connection" was originally a song recorded by The Rolling Stones on their 1967 album "Between the Buttons". The song was written by Jagger and Richards, but mostly by Richards. They both sing on it, but it has since become one of those songs Richards would do solo, both with his solo projects and on stage with the Stones. In fact in the Martin Scorsese film "Shine a Light" Jagger leaves the stage, and Richards then proceeds to take the microphone and centre stage to sing the song.
It's a good song and a good performance.

Enjoy ; )
