I received a phone call at 430 today from a good friend who has a relative that works in management for Buddy Guy. He told me to show up at Buddy Guy's Legends bar in downtown Chicago at 830p and not say a word to anyone. I got there at 8p and there was a modest crowd, nothing huge and anyone could've paid the $10 and got in at this point. Within 10 minutes I actually got a table by the side of the stage and my friend showed up to join me. His relative soon join us and told us that Keith had been there earlier shooting pool with Buddy Guy shooting a documentary about their current tour. At one point they did shots of moonshine with pineapple juice. There was a possibility that all the Stones were going to be at Buddy Guy's tonight!

Another hour and a half went by and we all were enjoying some great blues by local Chicago bands. At around 10P a sight that I will always remember happened... ALL of the Stones sat at a table 10 feet away from me. It was Charlie, Charlie's grand-daughter, Keith, Ron Wood and his girl and Mick with some really hot looking girl who looked about 25 years old. I couldn't believe it, I was stunned.

Some highlights:

Ronnie and Keith were taking pics of Buddy Guy playing on stage with their phones

Ronnie and Keith were sharing an e-cig

Keith was wearing sunglasses indoors part of the time

They all seemed to be getting along great. I saw Mick talking to Keith and they both started laughing. Same with Mick and Charlie.

At one point Mick started dancing by his seat as the band was playing

Eventually Buddy Guy got on stage and announced that the Stones were in the house. He admitted that he cooked ribs for all of them earlier and asked that we all just leave them alone. Which everyone did!

At one point he tried to get Mick to come up and help him sing "Rock Me" but it did not happen. I did see Mick laughing about it.

At around 1130 Keith left and then the rest of the Stones left a few minutes later.

I wish they would've played but now I can always say that I hung out at the same bar as Keith Richards.

An amazing night!

Great, thanks for sharing.
You are so lucky !!

Elizabeth Jagger usually dates much older men. The oldest was Steven Tyler.

That is amazing! Must have been surreal. I'll have to make a stop over at Buddy's bar this fall when I visit my cousin at school. Sounds like a really cool place and it's got some good stories, especially now with this memory you've just shared with us smiling smiley


And oh man... I hope that was Lizzy with him. Otherwise, as cute as I think Mick is and was back in the day, I'm only about a year or two apart from his daughter Georgia, and if I were her, I would be severely uncomfortable if he dated someone so close to my age range.

Yuck.

How wonderful for you, snow man...something to remember forever. smiling smiley

Elizabeth Jagger is traveling with her father, she was also with Mick at the Bobby Keys show in Nashville. She s a very beautiful young woman, much prettier in person than in her model shots. It's nice for Mick to have her along to keep him company.

No pics although I was tempted. The way they entered was to have a house band go on stage and start playing and then have the Stones go to their seats in mid song. Half the people didn't even know they were there initially. Buddy's is a very dark place in the audience section. The only reason we knew was that our contact with Buddy Guy's management came over and told us they had arrived. They also said to take no pics.

One other surreal moment was that in order to go to the bathroom from my seat, you had to walk right by the Stones table... so I did. Keith was the one I got closest too and he had taken off his sunglasses and was wearing eye liner. He also clapped for the stage band after they finished every number. I thought that was pretty cool.

Love to see and hear of them all hanging together and having a good time. Fairly rare in recent decades... the video of Buddy telling them all the story is priceless.

Did they have a lot of security guys with them?

Re: I was in the same bar as the stones tonight - 6/25 Chicago!!!

The biggest Buddy Guy security guards were close to their section at all times but I didn't notice any security guard presence sitting at their table.

Saw Ronnie in the same club in 89. Buddy's awesome.

I was there that night in 89 also. I think it was a Sunday night. Bill Wyman
and Chuck were there also. Wow that was 26 years ago.

Nothing written about or talked about anywhere in Chicago...I wonder why.
They always make it a point to get publicity especially to hype a tour.
Has anyone heard anything on Chicago Radio Station WXRT...As we know anything the Stones do is big news...Curious as to why the day after it happened it is quiet.
Nothing on the internet...is anyone sure that this really happened ????

I knew it could possibly happen but when it did I was in disbelief. It felt like being a kid again on Christmas morning,

while possibly being on steroids on christmas morning too, ?? you're so lucky--
glad for you!

but naturally, I'm a little bit crushed by the news of the 25-or- close-to-it year old gal with Mick...quick, I have to get back to my Imaginary World Right Now! To SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH MY IMAGINARY BOYFRIEND MJ! sigh.

I hear ya, Tauk. Told you he is a badboy.
