I knew you were a wholesome type!

Me? Wholesome? hah!

Good one Tele. I thought the band looked very approachable on the MO tour when I saw them do the public television filming in Chicago. I talked with Drayton and he was very relaxed and open to talking. Keith and the others were in a great mood off stage and off. Extremely laid back vibe. One thing always striking to me is how tiny Keith and the rest of the Stones are. Really short and small boned folks. I always wrote that off to the low calcium diets in their childhood years. This was true of many English musicians from that era. One of the best lines was from Eric Clapton who in the Ronnie Lane dvd "The Passing Show" referred to the Small Faces as looking like Hobbits on stage.

That's a good picture. Thank you for sharing. Acquaintance met MJ.

Oh well, I saw Jack Palance in a bar once!

John Candy for me.

They were all cool except for Steve Jordan. I don't know, maybe he was having as bad day. And yeah, it surprised me how short Mr. Richards is.

tell us about it, tele! what events led to this pic?

I was offered a backstage pass to the Winos show at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, circa 1994. My lone brush with Stones greatness.

Winos played that venue on 17th Jan 1993, if that helps. Opening show of the US tour.

Great pic.

Thanks Gazza. The 90s are kind of a blur to me. Maybe the only thing Keith and I have in common!

Very nice..

Awesome pic. How tall is your friend? I've always been curious about how tall Keith is. I got to meet Ivan Neville last year. I went and saw Dumpstaphunk and the crowd was pretty small. He hung around and talked to a bunch of us after the show. Super nice guy.

How did Keith smell? Good? Bad?

Steve Jordan was an a-hole.

It has been my experience (and there are exceptions), but the less the talent, the bigger the @#$%&.

cool...so you opened your archive as well...

Yes, my very limited archive.

Maybe but a very cool one

Cool pic and story, Tele. Surprised you have sat on this one for so long. I love the "russian department store" anecdote. Too bad to hear Jordan was being an arse, though.

Excellent pic!

It took me that long to get a digital version of the photo!

I am ashamed to say I forgot all the burning guitar questions I had saved up since I was 15 years ago. I was too awestruck....I tried to chat with Jordan because I had just seen his former Letterman bandmates in New York. He didn't react well. Maybe that experience ended badly for him. Maybe he's just an unpleasant person and doesn't like fans asking him questions.

Keith is doing the ol' "damn, this guy has horrible B.O." pose.

No...Keith is doing the ol' "damn, this guy is a Woodie-disparaging Taylorite through and through...get me the f*ck away from him..." pose.

No, I left my Taylorite membership card home that night so I could get past backstage security.

Do we get more out of the Steve Jordan story? I'm genuinely curious and I don't consider him untalented.

It sounds like there isn't much to tell. He made it to the backstage meet and greet photo-op line and then tried to engage Steve Jordan in a conversation, which he wasn't in the mood for.

Whether Steve is always like that with the random nobodies who make it backstage can't really be established from one person's brief encounter with him.

Yes, I have no idea if Jordan is always like that, which I said...thanks for describing me as a "random nobody", busted. Your kindness is noted.

Sure, but only the most randomest "random nobody" ever!

Well, if I have to be the most anything it might as well be the most random.

Who's that player on the left?

Nice pic, Tele!

I would be as much of one as you if I were ever in that situation. Most everyone would be.
