on some songs live in 78-81 hard for me to tell if its Mac or Stu on piano. When its an electric piano sound, then you know it was Mac.

No...these five songs were recorded in March 1963 at I.B.C. Sound Recording Studios in London.

1. Diddley Daddy
2. Road Runner
3. Bright Lights, Big City
4. Honey What's Wrong
5. I Want to Be Loved

You can find it on Youtube. I recommend it -- it's pretty much "must hear" stuff.

He's on the Yardbirds' Smile on Me, and, I think, a few more cuts on Little Games.

To answer Duke Richardson's query, The Rightful Laird of Pittenweem is what Stu used to refer to himself as, according to Keef in "Life". "Laird" is just the Scottish way of saying "Lord".


Not quite. "The term ‘laird’ has generally been applied to the owner of an estate, sometimes by the owner himself or, more commonly, by those living and working on the estate. It is a description rather than a title, and is not appropriate for the owner of a normal residential property, far less the owner of a small souvenir plot of land. It goes without saying that the term ‘laird’ is not synonymous with that of ‘lord’ or ‘lady’." The Lord Lyon, 2012

I'm pretty sure he wasn't really a "Laird" or a "Lord" - it was a just a title he jokingly gave himself.

A few more great suggestions for songs, although I think I'll probably not have Star Star blasting from the minibus. Might get a few complaints from the more sensitive tourists!

No, he wasn't a Laird - it was a joke (I know the "Laird of Lochwinnoch" and he's not a real Laird either).

Oh dear dear Tele b aka Drambo. His Lairdship has not taken kindly to your treasonable statement and wishes that you know a price must be paid - a double measure of Lagavulin on your next visit to the Broon Coo should suffice.
Anyway the parish of Pittenweem annual Arts Festival relies heavily on live music therefore Mr Watts and Mr Wood give Jools a call and head for Pittenweem. Festival dates 2015 1st to 9th August.

Someone said Boogie With Stu, but nobody remembers another song with another English group, The Blues Band... The song is based on Stu's piano with Charlie on drums, on the album "These kind of blues".
Very very good, I couldn't find it on Youtube but I have it in my MP3 collection, you definitely MUST listen to it, believe me, try to find it!!!

He's also on Rough Mix, the 1977 album by Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane, playing piano on the song Catmelody.

Check out this priced-to-sell Ronnie Lane DVD from German TV. Not only a great moment from Ronnie, but Stu is the piano player. If, like me, you've only seen Stu in blink-and-you-miss-it glimpses in Stones vids, you're in for a treat. There are a number of lingering shots of him working the eighty-eights.

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I wonder if I could have a few suggestions for Stu's finest recorded moments with the band.

I work as a tour guide in Scotland, driving a minibus and giving commentary on the places we visit to tourists from all over the world. I also select music to play on the tours, which has to be Scottish or have a Scottish connection (sometimes a fairly tenuous one!).

When passing through Pittenweem, Fife on the way to St Andrews, I regail my guests with Stu's story. The vast majority have never heard of him of course but find the story quite interesting. I had to decide to pick which Stones song to put on my playlist, and felt it had to be one where Stu's piano is at its best and most prominent. I had to check the musician's credits on all of the old albums to make sure I wasn't including a Nicky Hopkins or Billy Preston track. Bit of a problem for Tattoo You but I picked one of the earlier songs in the end - Down The Road Apiece. Great boogie-woogie piano coming out of one speaker from the rightful Laird of Pittenweem, and quite high up in the mix too.

Any other suggestions? I can add another couple of songs to give myself a bit of variety.

Hey Great Post Jan - you should post more, sharing a lot of my Scottish sentiments!! - whilst looking at your post it reminded me of my thoughts on the Movie Cross Fire Hurricane, so rather than Hi-jack your post,I started a new one to debate Stu's inclusion on CFH,or lack of.

Hi 2120, those 5 songs were from the first ever Stones recording session in London. From what I've read, these songs were the ones that Brian was most proud of and would play them for friends in later years. They wouldn't record at Chess until 1964 - when Keith met Muddy Waters painting the studio smiling smiley
One of the first Stones bootlegs I ever bought, Bright Lights Big City.

They are all on a Chess Recording Bootleg that I bought in the early 80's.
And yes I am well aware of when they recorded at chess 64/65.
There has been rumors for years that there is the first few takes of Satisfaction floating around also a few tracks with Muddy, that have rarely surfaced (any info) ?
I will have to dive back into my archives which are in storage.
Where did you read that that these songs were recorded in London ???
.....By the way, the Muddy painting the cieling story is a myth....Wyman said Keith got it wrong in his book Stone Alone,


.....Ahh Yes Good Call DGA35, they are on IBC, My bootleg included them as Chess Recordings.

Thanks for the tip on this DVD. Bought it last week via Amazon and it did not disappoint. This is a must have for Stu fans as well of course the late great Ronnie Lane. Stu really gets prime time in this band and clearly enjoys getting some well deserved spotlight. His playing is wonderful.

Check it out
