Any news on tomorrow night in Rancho Santa Fe? The man paying tonight does give money to the Ronald McDonald Houses but you know, it is just to show off, to the new wife...It is sort of sad but I would still go. What a great hippie venue. John Mayall is playing there soon..

What do you play? Guitar, Drums or Bass?
Anything with strings roller. Not much good with a bow but I have been known to use a slide on a cello!

At 7M it's a "corporate event". At 2M it's a "corporate charity event"! ><
lmfao!
Anyway most big acts today (Metallica RHCP) play this type of private gigs so why the Stones shouldn't? Morals? Laws? Age?
Go boys go!

So are we talking TWO gigs now?
In any case things have developed quite a bit here over the past 5 hours, looks like onlystones is going to do it again, go get' em tiger!
Just got back from a screening of "Live at the Marquee" with several other IORRians as well as Tarlé....the boys probably didn't have that type of gig in mind at the time did they! Well things change of course and money is money and at the end of the day, however we spin it and romanticize the Stones it's just a job for them. Maybe it doesn't even make a difference to them whether they play to 65000 at Hyde Park (they showed SSS after the Marquee movie so it's fresh for me) or to 400 at "birthday party"?

Naw, the necks on my Les Pauls are all pretty straight.

If you think Mick and the boys are sellouts for doing this, McCartney did it first:
"In 2003, it was claimed the 'Hey Jude' hitmaker was paid $1 million for what was reported to be his first ever private concert, performing to 150 people in Sante Fe in honour of Wendy Walker Whitworth.
The 90-minute performance was a 50th birthday gift to Wendy from her husband, financier Ralph Whitworth, and all proceeds went to charity."
Must be nice to rent-a-band.

Geez this is getting a bit sleazy. Stones for sale to any schmuck with enough money. I could add some tasty adjectives but I think you all know what they are. grinning smiley But I guess once you've crossed that boundary, it gets easier every time...eye popping smiley I can just imagine this guy throwing money at Mick to get him to sing I Got The Blues to his wife while peeling off his wardrobe...Ha!

I don't have a problem at all with that, since I can assure you they would be playing at my back yard BBQ if I had the means and ability to persuade them to. Would you go if I invited you?
That's the spirit and I would go if you invited me and I would gladly bring the beer and anything else you asked me for.
Beer? It's hookers and blow or nothing, just like last time, man!
Yeah of course I'd go, might even try even if I wasn't invited, no doubt onlystones would. He'd have your wife introducing him as a long lost cousin! Ha!
And Mr DJA, I too have worked plenty of rich kid parties and corporate functions, a veritable music slut when I think about it, but that doesn't mean I expect the same from Mick and Keith. Well maybe Mick and Keith, surely Ronnie. But Charlie? Surely not Charlie!

No, Stones did the Pepsi show in '98 and the Bonderman show at the Hard Rock in '02.Quote

The private concert is confirmed, tonight at the Belly Up. Photos of trucks unloading are on cbs 8 san diego and this thread. Tomorrow at a private home in Rancho Santa Fe. Tonight probably a charity for Ronald McDonald House and to celebrate the new bride. Yes, I want to hear your adventures. Have fun tonight That must be the "bus" Keith posted about..great shot. so they are there checking it out with the stuffed shark over the bar!Quote

The hookers and blow was Fonda '15. Its just like every show. Sex, Drugs and Rolling Stones, each time the same but different. I have until now done these types of excursions for Stones shows in relative quiet. Please if you want to hear about what I am doing and how this experience started and evolved, let me know. I will tell you my experience. No names. I am landing in about 1 1/2 hours (aprox 430pm local time). After that I don't know whats going to happen I am supposed to have safe transportation waiting. Then I will make sure this source is for real and go from there.
God Bless the Rolling Stones and ALL of their fans.
I have my fingers crossed.

Macca, Elton, Rod etc have been doing this for years.
It's a private hire gig, who cares?

Damn. Airfare to San Diego from SFO for tonight / returning tomorrow - surprisingly cheap. I could be down there by 7:30pm and still put in a full workday. onlystones might you have a +1?
Then again, tho going to this gig would be cool, what I really am seeking (in order to finally wrap and launch "The Night Before Altamont" radio documentary) is a 5- to 10-minute interview with Keith.
But going to this gig would be cool. I would dress the part, and be a great guest - no vomitting near the stage (can't believe people did that, CE!)

Do it!! There is no way you can get in if you don't try. That is all that I am doing and I am almost positive I am getting in. I have been sworn to secrecy.
