"Respectable" provided the most memorable moment from when the Stones hosted and played on Saturday Night Live in 1978 -- during an instrumental break, Mick went over to Ron Wood and licked him on the face.
The musical performance itself (which also included Beast of Burden and Shattered) was a bust. Mick's voice sounded terrible and the playing was flat. There's a file on Youtube of the audio from all three songs, but it's not worth listening to unless you're really just that curious.
Mick was good in a sketch where he was interviewed by Dan Aykroyd playing Tom Snyder, but the funniest part was Snyder trying to, uh, move like Jagger.
The 60-minute cut I have seen of this show has Stones in just one other sketch -- Ronnie and Charlie are extras in an Olympia Diner ("Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!") sketch. Keith was supposed to be in a sketch, but it was cut because he had one line and couldn't remember it. Laraine Newman said of Keith: "So this is what it's like to be working with a dead person."
The best Stones-related thing that has ever been on SNL happened years later -- Mike Myers' impression of Ron Wood.

Man, what a big deal it was when they were on Saturday Night Live. EVERYBODY watched that... I was with a bunch of friends at someone's house (I was 16). We all held our breath when they appeared in those sketches, so drunk and out-of-control they seemed. I always remembered it as Ronnie and Keith in that 'Cheezburger' skit, but I guess not. I was drunk and out-of-control too.Originally posted by Erik View Post
I also remember being nervous when Zappa hosted the show (probably around the same time?), and rightly so: he was terrible.One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.Comment

Cool song Erik, I'll have to pick up that bonus collection.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I had intended to close out my part of the draft with Sister Morphine, but it went. Nice pick. Anything with Ry Cooder slide work is good.Comment

"Hand of Fate" was good value this late... that's sort of a forgotten one nowadays; it was the big "rock" number on the radio from "Black & Blue" in '76. "Hey Negrita" is another good one. I'm puzzled why another B&B one isn't getting any love.
"Sister Morphine" was a steal of course.

Agree 100%, the Rolling Stones and Ry Cooder were the influences that got me into the blues, particularly Lightning Hopkins and Mississippi Fred McDowell...Originally posted by Lucky View Post"You know what's wrong with America?

Sister Morphine was on my list and I almost took it. Having already rostered something from Sticky Fingers was the tiebreaker.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment
