Description
We have up for auction The Rolling Stones & The New Barbarians (Keith Richards) 'Blind Date' Double LP aka "Keith Richards C.N.I.B. Concert Performance" released on Pod Records KR 422. This deluxe concert album set captures The Rolling Stones co-founder and guitarist, Keith Richards' and lead guitarist Ron Wood's live performance collaboration with fellow musicians Stanley Clarke, Ian MacLagen, and Joseph Modeliste, all of whom belonged to Richards' "other" band, The New Barbarians. However, the remaining members of The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts, later joined Richards and Wood on stage for an abbreviated, yet highly spirited 10 song Rolling Stones concert at Canada's Oshawa Civic Auditorium on April 22, 1979.
This double LP set captures one out of the two live concerts which Richards' was sentenced to perform following his much publicized February 27th, 1977 Toronto hotel room incident involving "possession of Heroin with the intent to traffic", a legal charge which could have resulted in a seven year to life term in prison for Richards. After a two year period of legal appeals, Keith's initial charge was "reduced" to "simple possession of Heroin" and he was "judged", as Mick Jagger actually states during this show, to perform these shows in which all of the proceeds would go to the Canadian National Institute For The Blind.
