WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Keith Richards fans gathered outside a hospital Sunday where the Rolling Stones guitarist was believed to be undergoing treatment for a mild concussion reportedly suffered when he fell out of a palm tree on vacation in Fiji. One newspaper also reported that Richards, 62, got on a Jet Ski after the fall and had another accident. Several Australian and New Zealand media outlets reported the fall from the tree. Band spokeswoman Fran Curtis has said only that Richards was injured earlier this week and flown to New Zealand with his wife, Patti, for observation. Her statement Saturday did not comment on Richards condition or how he was injured. New Zealands Sunday Star-Times provided no details on the Jet Ski crash, but quoted Dr. Uzzel Kanti Dhar as saying that Richards was admitted to Suva Private Hospital spokesman hospital in the Fijian capital on Thursday, the same day he was said to have fallen from the tree. Richards reportedly was airlifted to Aucklands Ascot Hospital later that day. Duty manager Steve Kirby refused to confirm early Sunday that Richards was a patient there, citing the hospitals privacy policy. Fans gathered outside the hospital Sunday, and New Zealands TV3 reported that Richards wife arrived carrying clothes while a security guard carried in three guitar cases. "Nobody likes falling from a height like that, but hes never fallen from grace for me," fan Dave Buchanan told TV3 News. Richards and his wife were staying <b>…<b>

The film, a depiction of the late 1960s American counterculture, also featured the Rolling Stones in the process of recording the song in the studio. On the filming, Jagger said in Rolling Stone: "… [it was] very fortuitous, because Godard wanted to do a film of us in the studio. I mean, it would never happen now, to get someone as interesting as Godard. And stuffy. We just happened to be recording that song. We could have been recording My Obsession.

Sympathy For The Devil, The Rolling Stones, Rock and Roll Circus, 1968
This performance is on 11th December 1968 for the film special Rock and Roll Circus. The song was originally released on 6th December 1968 on the album Beggars Banquet. Apparently Mick Jagger was unhappy with the Rolling Stones performance on the night, but I think this version is awesome-Jagger is as animated as ever! This song also has Rocki Dzidzornu on congas and Nicky Hopkins on piano. This was the last performance of Brian Jones with the Rolling Stones, incidentally playing the maracas! Marianne Faithful told the Telegraph in 2011 that Mick Jagger wrote this song after reading a Russian novel about Satan that she gave him. The name of the novel: The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Watching on are some fellow performers from the evening including John Lennon, Pete Townsend and Eric Clapton; another great song from this concert was Lennon playing Yer Blues with Clapton on lead guitar. Some folks subsequently thought that the Stones were devil worshipers and the sort after releasing this, which only goes to show how sensitive and literal in their interpretation people could be back then. I suppose some people still are. Anyway, I couldnt see this version of Sympathy for the Devil on youtube and I think it deserves to be in the public domain as it could be argued that it is a piece of rock history! I would recommend the whole DVD as it has some great performances on it! Disclaimer: "Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976 <b>…<b>
