We’ve got two interviews from Keith Richards this week in The Archive—the podcast from Paste Magazine where we dig through our vault of audio recordings for the most interesting interviews with musical icons. The first is from late September 1977, just after the release of Love You Live and just before the band headed to Paris to record of Some Girls.

The second was recorded March 16, 1982, in the wake of maybe the band’s last great album, Tattoo You. Music journalist Lisa Robinson caught Keith Richards looking back at nearly two decades of his time with the Stones.
