Just watched this last night. Pretty cool to see how it all came about and leading up to it. Wonder why the Stones decided not to play.

Apart from anything else that might have been going on, Mick was in Australia filming "Ned Kelly".


"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

Apart from Mick being down under, were the Stones asked at all?

I believe they were....they had a list of groups they would like to have but they declined.

There are many things The Rolling Stones never did, even if I am sure they have been asked many times. James Bond Theme music, just an example.

I was surprised they did Superbowl Haf Time, also when they did fly over to do SarsStock in Toronto, during the European Tour, and also 121212, and Desert Trip.

Still, most of the time, they did not do anything like that during the first decades, but these days, who knows, may be even a new 007 theme!

Bjornulf

Another thing they didn´t was an MTV Unplugged...

but they did another things for first time and they still alive (and kicking)!

They didn't play live aid and live8...

Hey, BV, are you dropping some kind of hint about the 007 film song??

With tour rumours settling down a bit in the new tour thread, this might be something refreshing to speculate about!

I've read various rumours that it could either be Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Lana Del Rey, or Sting among many others.
But with the new Bond movie (No Time To Die) having one of the highest budgets in franchise history at $250 million (maybe the highest?), could be the Stones...or maybe Mick solo?

"No time to die..."....sounds very Stonesy already!

They did their own version of it and gave us "Stripped", which is a really enjoyable affair. Ronnie was part of Rod Stewarts Unplugged session.

Yes and no In fact, two thirds of them did: Mick had a solo spot at Live Aid, and Keith and Ronnie helped Bob Dylan butcher a few songs ...

I remember a TV interview from round that time (Ronnie, maybe? Or was it Keith?) where the interviewee said the Stones would never take part in such charity concerts and rather donate tacitly.

Always been bad at maths...but wasn't it three fifths then at live aid...?
And they weren't billed as the rolling stones....

Shoulda been three fifths, of course. I must have counted someone only half ...

They were not billed as RS but nevertheless three of them participated.

I remember another such charity thing years later where Mick and Keith performed together and did Stones material, but with some other musicians instead the of the rest of the Stones. One of the songs was Miss You. I also remember Keith wearing spex. Anybody remember what event that was?

The Concert for New York City
20 Oct 2001 in response to September 11 attacks ……

Salt Of The Earth & Miss You …………….



ROCKMAN

They did a Nicaraguan benefit concert following an earthquake there in 1973....

no Woodstock..

but Altamont..

I remember reading a quote from Mick saying th Stones weren’t asked to play Woodstock so they weren’t playing the second Woodstock a few years ago.

I saw a documentary about Johnny Winter the other day, he was one of the one that got PAID playing. His performance at Woodstock, is from another world, only Hendrix can rompare. Unfortunately, Winter's "Winter's manager" said one shouldn't sign anything, or be a part of "Woodstock 1969 movie" - good grief

Both Johnny and his manager regretted the decision.

From Rock Cellar Magazine:

Rock Cellar: You played the Woodstock Festival in 1969; did you have sense of the importance of the event itself?

Johnny Winter: Not really, not until we were flying in by helicopter and saw all the people. That’s when we realized it was gonna be something huge.

Rock Cellar: Were you nervous?

Johnny Winter: Nah, I never get nervous.

Rock Cellar: Why not?

Johnny Winter: I just don’t. I like to play; it doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve always enjoyed playing; I never get nervous playing a show no matter how many thousands of people are in the audience.

Rock Cellar: You don’t appear in the Woodstock film, why?

Johnny Winter: My manager didn’t think it was good idea. He said the festival didn’t make any money and the film probably wouldn’t either. He always said it was the biggest mistake he ever made. He admitted it to me.

Rock Cellar: Do you regret you weren’t in the film?

Johnny Winter: Sure I do. Oh yeah … I was very happy with the way we played; it would have been great to have been included in the film. I remember that I was asleep in the press tent using a bag of garbage for a pillow. We just wandered out there to see what was going on and they said, “Well, you guys are all here so why don’t you play?” I’d just woken up and I’m surprised we played so good. (laughs) I didn’t get to see anyone else play at Woodstock; it was hard to get a helicopter out so we left as soon as we got finished playing our set.

Man.... I thought I was the only one who thought like this!! I like The Who, CCR and Hendrix but the rest of it scares me

I think Altamont would have been more my thing, I like to know where the violence is and plan accordingly

It was a defining moment of an era and a historical time stamp though.

Hendrix wrapping up a festival of peace and love for American people while Vietnam raged and American people died with a rendition of the American National Anthem that sounded like war is as good as a news report for me. Is a different type of news.

Townshend kicking Hoffman off the stage shows the clash of ideals.
