Stu is not on Let it Bleed (the track), that's Nicky Hopkins.
My all time favourite Stu moment is the last 90 seconds of She Was Hot: you hear three Jagger's howling, Bill's pumping, Keith's doing all his Berry riffs, and Stu gives his best ever Johnnie Johnson impression, making this the best 90 seconds since the outro of Tumbling Dice.

Sounds like Stu to me. Everything I've ever read bout that track says it's Stu on Piano. I'll take Stu for 500 alex. |

My favorite Stu: sitting mild mannered, but still somewhat torn and frayed, behind the piano during the 1981 tour. He was fabulous. |

| Happy Motherfucker!! |
I just love the coda at the end of Dirty Work, Great Stu-ness! |

First time I saw the Stones in Buffahole 1981, me and a bazillion of my closest pals packed up front in Rich Stadium. It was insane. We were so tightly packed, the whole group just moved in waves. I was remarkably sober -- I had a Schlitz and a joint and I was so fucking pumped to finally see my band!!
It was a cold, blustery but beautiful Western NY fall day (Lonesome George rocked the clouds away) and the Stones came out with relatively little fanfare. The last live Stones we had was Love You Live (and a tantalizing Whip from Sucking in the 70s) and I wanted some Fanfare. But there wasn't, there was this jazzy music and some piano banging and some guy pulls back this huge curtain and the only thing I see is Stu sitting at the piano. My first Stones experience and all I see is Stu!! Anyway, Mick came ripping out immediately after and that was pretty much the end of my watching Stu, except for the intro. What a lucky guy tho -- I'm sure they must miss him still. |

Whenever I think of Stu, the first thing that comes to mind is Little Queenie on Ya-Yas. |

indeed, for 15 years I thought it was Nicky Hopkins playing piano on Let it Bleed -but it indeed seems to be Stu!

For Stu with the Stones...
I love "Let It Bleed", "Short And Curlies", but I think one of my all-time Stu favorites is "Flight 505".

There are so many great Stu piano tracks on so many great songs. One song, Crazy Mama, there is a piano track on it, buried way down in the mix. But I hear it every time, and I love it. It's always puzzled me as to why no one is credited playing it. To my ear, it's got to be Stu, and not Billy. |

I could think of a hundred other fuckers who should have gone instead of him!
He wasn't even on my list!" - - Keith Richards. New York City 1985
