Where the Mean one's grow !! Dan Baird is a classic ,writes Authentic RocknRoll Songs. Bobby Keys = Iconic

I had the great pleasure to see Dan Baird and Bobby Keys in Cleveland what a great show. People talk about how Mick Taylor changed the Stones sound but I always say it was Bobby Keys that did it. The horns of Jim Price and Bobby Keys on Exile on Main Street were like the face of God. Thanks for the videos Otis they are awesome, but as a fan of Keys this one stands alone....May God continue to bless you!!!

Yes, some fine playing from Mr. Hopkins on those albums as well.

My friends Jeff Stacey and Jeffrey Pratt Gordon made the Bobby Keys documentary “Every Night’s A Saturday Night”. My favorite story - Bobby was about 12 years old in Lubbock, TX and one night he heard music outside and crawled out of his bedroom window onto the roof of the front porch. He could see a band playing on the back of a flatbed truck at the county fair. It was Buddy Holly.

Dan’s storytelling and poetry of speech is top notch. More Dan, please!

I met Bobby Keys after an Expensive Winos concert in the lobby of The Beacon Theater. I asked who he was influenced by and he said King Curtis.

All my life for sax players it's been Bobby Keys; Junior Walker and the "big man" Clarence Clemons ...

His sax playing is in my head from those days,no mistaking it on the Stones best albums ..

Bobby was from Slaton, Texas which is just outside Lubbock, also home to Buddy Holly. The documentary 'Every Night's A Saturday Night: The Bobby Keys Story' is great! My friend Rob Weiner appears in the doc.

Dan Baird tells great stories. He has a colorful way of telling them and really enjoys himself. That makes the stories even better in my opinion. You need an enthusiastic storyteller. Dan Baird is the guy. Bobby Keyes comes alive in these most recent stories from Dan and Otis Gibbs.

Bobby Keys actually was from Slaton Texas which is outside Lubbock which is the home of Buddy Holly!!! Bobby was unbelievable 🔥🔥 soooooo good ✌️✌️

Man every time I hear Slave and that break with the sax always gets me. Love me some Bobby Keys!

Bobby was one of a kind-heck of a sax player-really miss him RIP!

I did not know Bobby Keys played the sax on The Wonderer. That's cool. I'vE worked for DION (guitar tech) for many years, and his touring sax player has always been Arno Hecht, who also toured with the Rolling Stones, and is probably very aware of the part Bobby Keys played on that song. I'm going to bring it up next time I see Arno. Thanks as always for this cool history.

Hands down the best rock sax player ever! And Dan Baird is always a great interview. I always heard though that Jagger fired Bobby Keys from a tour (1973 I think?) because Bobby missed a gig - when he took a bath in dom perignon with a groupie or two.

There was a film in the late seventies called "Cocksucker Blues" that was like a home movie of a Rolling Stones tour in the late 60's, back in the Yaa Yas's days. Bobby was in the movie, he was having a good time.

Otis please pass on to Dan that he was a huge influence to me as a kid wanting to play guitar. I send my sympathies on the loss of his lovely wife! Thanks for sharing these stories! ❤

Wow, does this video bring back a Bobby Keys memory of a New Years Eve in Lubbock, Texas, long time ago. Joe Ely and Band was performing in a long gone country bar on the South Loop. I was invited to play "Auld Lang Syne" at midnight on my Highland Bagpipes. I met this saxophone player in the Green Room who was interested in the reeds I was using. While we were both warming up and for fun to see who was the loudest, we had a good time. Bobby gave the Pipes a blow and actually got it going, I played the chanter while he blew the pipe. As I recall Bobby just happened to be in town visiting his family in Slaton, Texas, located just southeast of Lubbock where he was born and reared.

If you really want to learn how absolutely crazy Keith and Bobby lived, read Key's book "Every Night is Saturday Night"

He’s such a terrific interview ! Always rich conversation

I saw Dan Baird at the Southgate House in Newport, KY. I am almost positive that Keef and Bobby in Texas during the Stones First US tour in 1964. Bobby also played with Buddy Holly.

One of my greatest memories. AmericanaFest a few years ago I was hanging out with my friend Ian McLagan. He was showcasing at The Basement, then after his show, we headed off to see Bobby's showcase, I believe it was at 3rd & Lindsey. Miss them both dearly.

My favorite story about Keith and Bobby is the one where they’d stolen the touring doctor’s med bag and were caught on a bathroom floor wondering “I wonder what this pill does. Let’s take some and find out”. 🤣

I love Bobby Keys on “Whatever gets you through the night.” Again, it’s the song

"Can't wipe the smile off my face for a week." Exactly how I feel after watching this.

Glad to see Dan looking well after his illness issues. I hope all is good with you DB. The grey goatee is kinda fascinating 🤪

Bobby was one of the best parts of the book Keith Richards Life. Those stories are great, and this was even better.

Bobby's autobiography is a hell of a read, highly recommended.

I could listen to Dan all day.

This was awesome. One of my fave guitarists and frontman discussing my fave rnr sax player! Hell to the yeah!!

my folks had the wanderer on a 45. i really dug that song & that sax was hot!! i played it over & over & sang with it. can't remember how old i was, but i was young. this is too cool!

Dan’s stories are always a treat. Bobby Keys is a legend.

Jim Price was the other Stones trumpet guy. When I was 22 or so Bobby Keys and Ivan Neville partied me out , i was a young kid in a crappy cover band ,he treated me so graciously and like a rock star and it really boosted my esteem as a player . I will say the man could PARTY lol. This is a great interview , I also forged a friendship with Rick Richards , Dans old buddy lol Rock in Peace

Bobby was from Slaton, TX. Just outside of Lubbock. A friend of mine marched next to him in the Slaton Tiger band in high school.

Bobby was another Lubbock(Slaton) area musical genius!

Holee sheeit this is a great video. Love cool folks telling cool stories.

Dan Baird is a Champion, such an interesting story teller. Awesome.

Wow, getting a drunk call from Keef and Johnny. Hilarious

Fact. Bobby Keyes couldn’t read sheet music so it was all ears❤

Great story. Yeah I believe Bobby and Keith met in Texas in '65

Ottis, how is Dan’s spirits. I’m not in touch with him anymore cause I’m off social media but I knew he lost his wife (LG). Hope he is good. Looks healthy here. Love, DD…

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

Bobby Keys was the Squad !

I saw this tour in cleveland at the beachland ballroom it must have been on the way back down from Toronto like Dan talks about. I have seen thousands of bands from the stones to the ramones and everyone in between. That night in cleveland was one of the greatest nights of rock n roll i have ever seen i remember like it yesterday. Bravo gentlemen and thank you Dan for this. Rest in peace Bobby you were truly a man you don't meet everyday

This was edited by me . 1st Bobby Keys was so important glad I saw him with The Stones. 'On my edit' I knew what I meant but didn't like how I wrote it ! I love hearing Dan's stories of the great performers he worked with over the years. But my fav story is of his Esquire that was Marriotts how he played it all night.. Knowing the songs it inspired it must a had a vibe before Dan put his own DNA vibe on it.

If only for the solo on Brown Sugar, Thank You Bobby Keys!

Thank you, Otis, for bringing us this video. And thanks to Dan for such great stories and memories. Be good to you 🤍💛

Dan needs a podcast, plain and simple

hear bobby keys with delaney and bonnie and joe ely

What a wonderful tribute to Bobby. Thanks so much for this.

Some my favorite Bobby Keys solos are with Joe Ely. Particularly ''Letter to L.A.

Dam is a class act!!! Thank you for this incredible interview

One of your best interviews Mr Gibbs. Dan is such a great singer!! And a total joy to warm with. I mixed him when he played NYC a few years back.

Tell It Man, Word.

"I didn't remember half of that shit!" Bobby Keys = Legend

Dan's not passionate about music or anything. I love Bobby's work universally, & all of the Stones work is amazing to me. Good stuff...thanks Otis. Love it.

Otis the very stellar best dude!❤

Wayne the train Hancock will be in Indy next month on the 18th you need to get him on an interview. He is great maybe even turn some folks. Thanks for the videos

The best. Absolutely the best.

I git to meet Bobby and do a shot of tequila with him here in Albuquerque - one of the great privledges of my life. Bobby's mom lived south of Albuquerque in Belen so he spent lots of time here, also, his brother Darrel lives here. At some point he was aressted for drunk driving and he apperaed before my sister who was a judge. Many of my friends got to know Bobby well - wish I could have. Just love Bobby, so damn funny. Awesome job Dan Baird, what a way with words.

Nice one you two! Excellent Cat Cameo also.

Great anecdotes! I hope he will also tell you about his Homemade Sin days. Probably a lot of funny stories about Keith Christopher alone.

What a great interview

That freaking epic!!

This is awesome! Thank you so much!!

Hot damn!! The rock & rollers Dan Baird & Bobby Keys…love them!! Looking up Dan a few years back is how I found Otis’ channel. Thanks for all

Great piece. Thanks

Thank you Dan, awesome interview Otis. Wasn’t aware of half of the songs that Bobby played on mentioned by Dan. Yeah the best Sax Rock-n-Roll…no doubt.

What an incredible bunch of stories here. Real good storytelling here. Bobby Keys was the man!

Brilliant

I love Dan's story telling, the joy in his memories is infectious.

This is beautiful.

Awesome vid. thanks for your time,

Dude, thanks for your work. These people you get are just the coolest people.

Between Bobby Keys, Mancini's Pink Panther theme, the Waltz in A (SNL closer), and Foreigner's URGENT, I decided to start my musical journey with saxophone when I was 12. (1982). This all led me to trumpet (Mangione) piano (Charles, Joel) harmonica, guitar (Beatles, SRV, Crowes, Unplugged craze). All books of a bible and prophets to me. Each instrument is a religious experience in itself.

Bobby met Keith in San Antonio.

Equally amazing, & usually unacknowledged,is all the people who came outta the Delaney and Bonnie Finishing School & became stars in their own right or otherwise hit career highs. So glad to see Dan looking fit with all that hair. He still populates my latter day “mix tapes”.

First time I’ve ever heard anyone talk about “the width of a (musical) note”…. another dynamite video boyz…. 🌠❤‍🔥🌠

Jim Price. Wonderful trumpet player. Awesome interview !

I was lucky enough to see Steve Marriott play in a club in S. Carolina in the 80s. My friend didn't know what to expect. They couldn't understand why I was so excited to see him. When this tiny , scruffy little guy came out with a guitar almost larger than himself, they looked at me like ' what in the world is this?' Then he began to sing and their eyes bugged out and jaws dropped

Here's Bobby throwing down with Joe Cocker and Leon Russell. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXd_1cibYLqrgc4.html

Thank You so much for this! I feel so fortunate to to have heard Bobby live three times with the stones. I wish I could have heard him without the stones, not in a stadium.

Thanks for making this. This video is a great tribute to Bobby Keys and has fascinating insights and stories from another legend in his own right. Great stuff!

I like the Kitty.

So great! Love Dan - a delightful person. And what more can you say about Bobby? I saw him in Franklin a time or two in his last years and wanted so bad to speak some appreciation, but I didn't want to be a gurm.

Nice !

The difference in The Stones live ?💋 With and without the inimitable Bobby Keys? Is DISCERNABLE to me. Can't put my finger on it, but I can feel it That Boogie, rasca, cocky, fun swagger wailing. His phrasing , . I'll shut up ! the gentleman here is phenomenal . So many Bobby Keys stories. I'm from Tulsa, heard a few almost 1st hand. Cool how he came back from being fired from The Stones. by Mick for Nasty Habits getting in the way of work Keith snuck him into a Steel Weeks rehearsal. Unbeknownst to Mick who always vetoed Keys coming back. When they got to Brown Sugar. Bobby did his incomparable thing. Mick noticed I think. Keith told Mick to look at the horn section. Bobby's back. That's how the story goes. Thanks Otis 🎉 That tour was my 1st Stones show -Dallas, Cotton bowl. Many more were to come.
