Keep On Rolling

thank you for this

....Excellent ...Thank you very much..

Great read, Thank you very much for posting.

I remember the first time I was able to afford good seats to a Stones concert was back in 1981. I had second row seats and was watching the stagehands do there thing and there was Stu on the stage right up by his keyboards. I pointed Stu out to some people down by me in "the good seats" and they had no idea who he was.

Stu and Keef

Apartment No 9

Thanks for this.

On tour with the Stones in 1984?

Damn, did I miss out on a tour?

I dont' agree that there would have been the same Rolling Stones without Brian and without Stu. Keith walks in on Brian for the first time at an apartment and asks what Brian is listening to and it's Robert Johnson. Ian walks in on Brian and Brian is listening to Howlin' Wolf. Brian was the advanced one. Brian was the spark that lit the fuse on I Wanna Be Your Man. As much as Brian is a part of the concrete foundation of Stones' sound, so is Stu's boogie woogie. It seems that Stu's personal feelings about Brian cloud Brian's contributions to the band, while Stu appears to loathe Andrew, but at least gives him his due. Also noted is that Stu lays it down plain and simple, he is the SECOND Stone. Which by mathematical deduction means Brian is the FIRST Stone.

You sound defensive about this. Who really knows who threw the first stone...

Didn't Charlie try to throw Mick out of a window after punching him? Seems as though Charlie threw the first stone.

The only hole in your argument is that you assume Mick was the First Stone.
If perhaps a different thrown stone was the first stone, than that stone would supersede the thrown stone you propose...

I didn't use capital letters, therefore I wasn't calling Mick the First Stone, only the first stone actually thrown.

Using your argument, there in fact is no hole in my argument.

Let someone who has not sinned cast the first stone Munich!

Thanks. I detect the influence of our local music critic Billy Sloan who has enjoyed many Stones concerts since the 73 tour.

Last picture. Stu, back right, on tour with the Stones in 1984....

Oh, well who cares if it's true and accurate as long as it sells.

Love and Light to Stu

Y'all remember that rubber legged boy

Thank you for posting. They used other keyboardists over the years, but there was only one Stu. I love every outtake I hear of him just playing some blues in the studio.

Great post fingalcrom. Stu can never be given enough credit, and his playing really enriched the band when he chose to contribute. A solid guy if there ever was one.

Great stuff. Thanks very much.

There once was a Stone that few knew
Could play a piano so blue
Though five you were seein'
In fact there was Ian
And everyone knew him as Stu

Thanks for that great post. My dream is that they release the biography, 'Stu' in paperback someday but don't think it will ever happen.
