A new Keith Richards documentary, Under the Influence, was recently released on Netflix, the perfect culmination of a half-decade that has been a Richards resurgence of sorts. His best-selling autobiography, Life, was published in 2010, and the Stones’ yin to Mick Jagger’s yang has a new solo album out called Crosseyed Heart, his first in over 30 years. There’s just something about the crusty, semi-sober, chain-smoking Rolling Stones guitar player that resonates with fans. But despite that fact that the band hasn’t released a new album in a decade, it’s not like the Stones are on hiatus or anything. In fact, the gents are reportedly working on some new tunes in the studio together. In the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the best Rolling Stones video performances from throughout the band’s half-century career.
“Start Me Up”
This early ‘80s hit featured a gymnast-like Jagger in yoga pants and a purple t-shirt vamping and slinking his way around the band against a minimalist black backdrop. No frills here, just feathered haircuts and vintage Stones rock and roll, proving that their best didn’t necessarily lie behind them.
