As the Stones remembered yet another Brian Jones birthday - after this 50 years stuff should they now be thinking about organizing a Brian Jones Tribute Concert? This would be a nice gesture in remembering the guy who played such a major part in getting the band off the ground

Who would you choose to play Guitar on Brian's behalf??

My personal would be Eric Clapton - Brian new him and Eric was there all those early gigs in 62 - 63 - and played similar set list with The Yardbirds. He may need to brush up on slide a bit first tho'...


Anyway, just a thought if it could happen at last. Would be a cool evening.

I wouldn't be able to go as I'm banned from going to Stones gigs YCAGWYW lol...

the stones were a team and brian was part of this team, and the era he was in the band was the era that defined them.

I certainly don't agree. BJ was associated with one era of the band 63-67 defined by faithful and inspired covers of US tunes (blues or soul) then by delicate pop tunes on which BJ expressed his talent.

The era that defined the Stones starts in 68-69 and BJ had next to no involvement in it. Mick Taylor on the other hand...

To me it is their R&B period, the most part of which constitutes their first out of four golden eras, that defines the Rolling Stones. After that, it is a development through major peaks and relative slumps, involving changing styles and impact.

The Brian era is not one single era, musically. There are at least three, and they're all crucial for the band evolving.

The more I listen to the Stones, the more convinced I get of late Brian era albums being the best they ever released.

I love SF, Exile and SG, but Beggar's Banquet - what an album!

The Satanic Sessions should be the bible for Stones fans. It's THE document of their career - of a band working towards their peak as hungry musicians

roughly speaking: roots, pop, and mature/experimental eras? is between the buttons filed under the second or third era?

Mick Taylor plays on as many tracks on Let It Bleed as Brian Jones does.

It would be impossible to do a tribute to Brian. How do you create his greatest talent, feel? Maybe Ronnie and Mick Taylor were better guitar players, at least lead wise, but neither comes near to the emotional loveliness of Brian.

I second "but, why banned, Mr. Phelge? why, oh why?"

I don't see it happening for all the reasons other posters mentioned.
But if someone were to put on a Brian tribute re. his time with the Stones, wouldn't guitar be the least important instrument to worry about?
Thinking about BJ with the Stones you hear marimba, sitar, mellotron, saxophone, flute, dulcimer, harmonica.

And nobody could recreate the way he sounded playing them. It was nice to hear the Stones play She's A Rainbow, but it wasn't Nicky Hopkins. I can't think of another band where it's so important to hear the original players on the studio cuts. Maybe that's why the Stones have had so few successful covers of their songs. It's the singer.....

Absolutely. IMO this is why it is so very hard to cover Stones songs. People seem to always get it wrong. They play too fast; have distorted guitars, lots of sus4 chords in reg tuning - the Stones don't do it like that. Stones actually play most tunes pretty slowly; and very often it is the combination of parts playing against each other, or with each other, that provide the tension and thrill. Not one loud, shrill guitar.
Anyway, I got derailed. I meant to say that yes, I agree. With Stones it always had to be done the 'Stones Way'. Listening to outtakes; especiallyt w/o vocals I am often struck just how raggedy and sparse, and barely clipped together these songs are. It's a good thing.

Wot he said. ^

Nobody should play guitar.

Somebody should jsut muck about with sitars, dulcimars, daft wind instrumnents and ethnic percussion

Another thing that struck me, particularly in regards to Brian's contributions, is that I bet he must have added his parts either with a vocal already in place, or at the very least with him knowing what the vocal was going to do.There are many BJ parts that I find brilliant. Then I will hear an outtake w/o lead vocal, and it comes off very different. Might have lost a lot of its luster. And I realize that he very much wrote the part to harmonize and fly with the vocal. I love that kind of stuff.


BTW - a Q to Phil and Dandy: isn't there an ongoing thread where IORR members post that they may have done with their own band? A different one from the Stones project?

Maybe they could ask Yoko Ono

I offered Keith the possibility to meet up in London with one of Brian's surviving builders. He knew the whole pool side story and was willing to tell Keith in person. The builder, now living outside the UK, was willing to travel all this way. A middleman texted Ron wood the invitation and we asked him to pass it on to Keith. No reply. It goes to show they just don't want to know.

Why on earth after all this time would they be interested in yet another person's slant on how they remember [or mis-remenber] events.

There been so much b*llocks spouted & printed over the years and one more person's two cents worth isn't going to resolve anything.

Exactly. ^

Especially when one of the @#$%& involved claims to have been 'doing it for the kids'.
