Keith Richards plays Connection with The Rolling Stones in Scorcese's "Shine A Light"

Connection has always been one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs.  Keith Richards often played the tune with his band the X-Pensive Winos in the last 1980's, when it looked like the Stones were defunct.  As it turns out, they weren't--Richards and Jagger patched it up and they've toured and released some middling to weak records since then. 

This rendition of Connection, a YouTube "slideo" is from the Scorcese documentary that came out a few years ago.  Yeah, his voice isn't much, but I kind of like the spirit of the performance.
