I don't know if I listened right, but it seems Ben Waters said "E flat" starting Little Queenie - isn't it an unusual tune ? Or has it something to do with piano?

isn' that one called "Bring It on Home to Me"? Of course, that could be deliberate!

Down the Road Apiece is a a standard in the ABCD of Boogie Woogie setlist.
there's no (0) reason to imagine anyone on that stage ever expected anyone else to waltz in,
and they stole their own show very raunchily indeed, thank you

I suspect they actually played 'Carol' (& possibly 'Around & Around') more often than 'Little Queenie', though I see your point...

The first number Hamish Maxwell sang was this one: described here as "Roll 'em Pete" - here he is singing it at home in a Dorset pub with his own band:

Probaly yeah... if there is any Berry songs that have "Rolling Stones" written all over them, they are those three...
What makes "Little Queenie" so special is that it was to be found in that very first Little Boy Blue tape they made in Dick Taylor's home; that it was - with "Carol" - a definitive number of the early Taylor years, making even YA-YA'S, plus; and it was a rare Berry song - are there any others? - they actually have played during the 'Vegas' yaers. - Doxa

Maybe Mick and/or Keith chose not to show up because it might have overshadowed the actual tribute to Stu if it had seemed like a big Stones reunion ...
So basically what youre saying is that they're too big and famous for this event?
Hmm.

I was a bit worried when I saw how slowly he was making his way to the drum kit - until I realised that the tiny overcrowded stage was an obstacle course of instruments, amps and cables on several levels and he was having to do some very careful navigation and mountaineering to get there! It doesn't look to me as if there's anything to worry about.

Charlie has looked a little frail for over two decades now, so I'm sure he's fine (I remember being really shocked at how gaunt he looked during the Steel Wheels era, as he looked so much more robust during the Dirty Work era 3 years earlier).

Something that was great to me was the effect of hearing some of the very early Stones numbers like Can I Get A Witness, Down The Road Apiece, Don't Lie To Me etc. with an excellent boogie-woogie piano (or two) as an strong and essential part of the mix - probably something like how the band really sounded in the early days before Andrew Loog Oldham started editing Stu out. I also wonder how big a part Stu had in selecting the songs they covered.

The idea of a boogie woogie band was forgotten until 1978, when some of England's best musician celebrated the 50th anniversary of boogie woogie...[/i]
