Changing crew before the 50 & Counting-thing could have made sense, if needed.
But after 14 On Fire - why?
Why would it make any more sense before 50 & Counting?

I don't know much about this, but recall that Alan Dunn had been Mick's PA for a long time, having started with the RS in the 60s. He is godfather to one of Mick's children.
He also was Mick's "Best Man" at Mick and Jerry's wedding.

I met Dave Rouze once in a shop near The Astoria when The Stones were due to play there.
I politely said hello and he talked to me as if I was something he had just scraped off his shoe.

Alan Dunn owns a bed & breakfast. A friend of mine (also a musician of some note) stayed there in 2012 and ended up hanging out and jamming with Mick Taylor.

And what about Guitar Technicians?
What was the first tour that they used Guitar Technicians?.
Pierre de Beauport is I think since the 1989 Steel Wheel Tour the GT for Keith.
What about the others?
And has Charlie always the same Drum Technician?
Did Bill had a dedicated Bass Guitar Technician?

David Rouse was the Mick's guitar guy in the 90s and 00s but I don't think I've seen him in the 10s

I checked in at Shiphol JULY 7 1998 with Keith' father. No joke. Unfortunately I was to shy to take a picture.

We met Pierre and some of his team as they left their hotel (not the band's hotel) on the day of the Pittsburgh gig in 2015. We had just had brunch - jsut a co-incidence we met.
He was very friendly, took a picture of us, and we had a chat about how the weather would impact the gig - he said it kept the band on their toes!

Chuch Magee and Johnny Starbuck were real characters and nice guys and Johnny still is of course. Chuch came with Ronnie from The Faces as far as I am concerned and Johnny worked for Fleetwood Mac before the Stones. Alan Dunn still works for The Who I think.
A lot of things have changed since Pierre de Beauport took over as chief back line crew and not for the good, if you know what I mean. For example for the last Europe and USA tour all the old back line crew members were not asked to work for the tour. Obviously Pierre de Beauport was able to build his own little empire/universe within the Stones. I have heard of many things that do not shed a good light on him.

Johnny Starbuck used to be a roadie for Billy Preston. He first met The Stones during the joint Preston/Stones tour in 1975. And he has worked with The Rolling Stones ever since.

In the TOTA's 1975 book (the big book full of photos) there is a photo of three of the main roadies/security - two huge guys and a slim one laid on sun loungers...I can't remember their names but it said something along the lines of , the thin guy could throw the two bigs guys around with ease.
