The urban jungle tour 1990 at maine road and my mrs told me afterwards that frank worthington had passed me and was admiring my dancing! also most of the cast of coranation street was there.

The stars are the stones thou.

Bill Clinton, Hong Kong Nov 9th 2003. Spoke with him too, nice guy, and really friendly with us ladies... He's a true fan. He also turned up at Ronnie's art show opening in Hong Kong.
Paris 1995, the race track: I sat next to Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry in the VIP-section with tons of French celebs. (None of whom I recognized) And Lance Armstrong MSG, Jan 18th 2003. Former prime minister Jens Stoltenberg, Valle Hovin, Oslo August 1998. ABBA-singer Agnetha Fältskog, Cirkus, Stockholm July 2003. And so on...

One subtext to the 2004 U.S. presidential election was the successful painting of George Bush as a regular Joe/son of the soil/down-to-earth, homespun-wisdom texan kind of guy, in contrast with a caricature of Kerry as an effete/too-intellectual/wine-drinking snob.

The reality, of course, is that neither of these two individuals are close to being working stiffs. They were both born into wealth, and neither likely spends too much time among the "great unwashed" unless it's for a photo-op.

Or in Kerry's case -- going to a Stones show!

Hope that helps.

Saw Shidoobee-Doug at the Columbus Licks show. Does he count? :-)


Karl

An absolutely gorgeous Liz Hurley and a not so gorgeous Bob Geldof at Shepherds Bush, along with all of the band's wifes, most ex-wives (Jerry, Anita etc) and a few of their kids. This girl came out during Sheryl Crow's set, stood beside me and my wife and I wondered where I knew her from. Itw as only afterwards it dawned on me it was Keith's daughter Angela.


Johnny Hallyday at Longchamps in Paris in 1995.

Gazza at the Ronnie and Fiends show. Ok, perhaps that doesn't count - because it was not a real Stones show. But still

Oh, and the Austrian ski team in Imst...


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

Jack Nicholson is a true fan. He attend shows as often as he can, and he comes for the music and not just to be seen. I heard he was dancing between the seats at Dodger Stadium 1997. And he has been seen many other places.

Bjornulf

We were accross from JFK jr,at Giants Stadium in 94'.He was in a roped off section in front of the sound board,he was really into the show.I think my wife was more thrilled by him,than by the Stones. I also saw James Taylor seated on the ledge right behind me,at Roseland.He seemed to be into the Stones,too.

Saw Pierce Brosnan as I was leaving the Halloween show at Staples in 2002.

Iggy Pop and Spice Girls at MSG 98, Phil Cool @ Manchester 90, Lenny K @ Shepheards Bush 99, Val Kilmer Wembley 95, Johnny Haliday Paris 95 etc....

Footballer, Ronaldo and Sean Penn at U2 in Copenhagen last Sunday!

Globen 98, swedish king and queen present at the show

The Swedish King was at the first Globen show I attended. So he must be a rock king!

Bjornulf

Swedish crown princess Victoria and her boyfriend attended the show at the Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden in 2003. Seems like her father , the king, has had a great influence on her musical preferences.

The royale family in Europe is invited to whatever....

It doesn't matter, if it is music, sports or ....... - it doesn't even matter, if they like it or not or if they understand it or not - somehow a snob thing....

I don't like the royal thing here in Europe - it is getting more and more stupid / ridiculous.....

They should rather have a president .... at least the peolpe then could choose the person and kick him / her out after 4 years, if he / she is stupid......

sat next to John Kerry (stayed the whole show this time...we walked out with him) and in front of Bill Murray at the Orpheum '02. Later at the Wiltern, there were numerous sitings in the balcony - Neil Young, Petty & Mike Campbell, Stills...

I read somewhere KISS went to a Japan Stones show.
And then The Stones went to KISS Japan show a couple days later.
Something about The Stones used some of KISS gear or somethin.
I believe Gene Simmons said it in an interview about Budakon

Did this really happen?

Saw Nate Mesics at the First Union Center in Philly in '02.

Can you imagine Charlie Watts sitting through a Kiss show?

Yea !!
The Stones were there in KISS make-up!

john kerry? celebrity?

Paul Newman at Roseland

I met Johnathan Ross a few years ago when I was working at the London Passport Office. He's an absoloute miserable bastard in real life. I should have refushed his application!

James Gandolfini ( what a super cool name by the way) seems to be a huge Stones fan....I am just watching The Sopranos on german pay tv PREMIERE...
and there is a lot of Stones music to hear.....and Gandolfini is not only acting like hell....he is a kind of codirector & producer as well.

see you at A BIGGER BANG tour.....formerly known as the ONSTAGE tour.
salar

As far back as Kiss goes they always claimed the Stones were their first love.
