I guess the obvious thought would be that while Mick would be welcome at the Hubert Sumlin memorial show, Keith might not be welcome at the White House.

They, Mick and Keith, didn't start The Rolling Stones.

Thanks for this notice of the broadcast, C Eyes!
Side note: Does anyone know who took this photo of Mick on his website?
I think the series had some of the best shots of modern day Mick and the others.

smile: is this how a genie feels when summoned? :E
that series is indeed from the start of the ABB tour, as proudmary noted, and as far as i know Steven Klein took 'em.
Mark Seliger took a bunch of the 2005 promo shots as well, but those "melancholy" portraits seem to be Klein's fine work

This competition - Mick plays the blues here, Keith plays the blues out there - is so out of place! They are not a horses at the races.
Btw, it is hard to miss - a lot more people protesting Jagger appearence without Richards at the White House than Richards without Mick in Apollo.
I wonder, why is so?
I do not know, probably the two performances separately from each other was an accident. But the reluctance and even inability to be together on one stage speaks for itself.
Could it be that the old men splitted the duties? Probaly both gigs were known quite a long in advance, and they decided: "you go there, and I go here, okay?". It could be that Beck and Clapton made some similar decision (or they refused from the other gig.)
Like I said in that other thread, I find odd this strange demand that Mick and Keith should always perform together. Like having one is not good enough. It is the individuals there, not The Rolling Stones performing in neither of these occasions.

Perhaps the proximity of these concerts and the fact that both are a dedication to the blues leads me to these thoughts.
Okay, maybe I'm getting sentimental - but I would be happy to see them together at Apollo.

I'm getting nervous for him!! I bet he's got " butterflies" in his stomach, it's pretty hard to minimize the importance of this gig. I know he'll do a great job, and the President will gain new respect for his talent.
