I see they paid and played tribute to Ray Charles last night.

Very cool move by the band.

But I must ask a question here.

When they were on the Lick's European tour Johnny Cash died & they didn't play anything that night. I would've bet cold hard cash they were going to do a Johnny song.


I wonder why they didn't? Mick & Keith were big fans. Keith even Jammed on stage with The Man in Black.


I wonder what song the Stones could pull off by John?

"I Walk The Line" is too obvious.

Maybe "Big River" ? "Understand Your Man" would be great with Mick singing. They could do something Stonesy with that.



"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

"Ring of Fire"

The Stones as a whole weren't influenced directly by Johnny. I would never have expected such a tribute. And, they don't usually do off-the-cuff stuff anyway - Night Time was rehearsed extensively, no doubt.

Bonanza or A Man In Black?

For being the "Greatest Rock & Roll Band in The World"

you would think they WOULD do more things off the cuff, in the spur of the moment.


What do they have to lose , you know?

FWIW, the Red Hot Chili Peppers paid tribute to Johnny Cash, they had his picture up on their monitor at, I think it was the Jones Beach show... very very classy gesture.

The Stones have paid tribute to so many people... They worked "we miss you Jerry" for Jerry Garcia into one song they played at Soldier Field on the B2B tour...

Get Up Stand Up
Ray Charles
...I´m sure there will treats;
but they´re businessmen. At least ruled by one while at tour.
His name is Uncle Mick Scrooge Jagger

You know Chuck is getting up there. let's just suppose, that Berry passes away while they are on tour ( God bless ya Chuck. I hope you don't)

But for arguments sake. What kind of tribute do you think would be paid and played? Would Keef slide in 2 Berry number's in his solo spot?

And which one's?

Or would it be the WHOLE band...........And what songs....

I mean Chuck seems to be THE lasting influence.

Although I read Brian wasn't too keen on him AT ALL!

But then it wasn't really Brain's band after Mick and Keith started writing together was it?

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

I hope they do more Berry stuff BEFORE he dies.

If we are only going to get Berry tunes after he dies then one of us will have to shoot him!

Berry dead? Not in a million years.

- And Marhsall: It was never Brian´s band. It was just that he was older than the Glimmerers. Charlie was too; and Stu was older than them.

But the fooker was a hell of a mellotron-player (not many human beings are!), a good sitar-player, and a hell of a Bo Diddley-rhythm keeper. And a fine slider.
