Memo From Tina Turner
New video from this youtube channel called Yesterday's Papers. If you haven't checked it out, definitely do so. Some great Stones content there.
Anyway, this is pretty interesting. The Stones played in Aylesbury without Brian. Was this the only time they ever played as a four-piece?

Nice video, at 3:25 in the pic of the Ronettes on stage, you can see Jimi Hendrix on guitar. There was another thread a while back about who opened for who. I always assumed that the Stones were opening for the Ronettes, which Ronnie confirms.
The Ronettes opened for the Beatles on their final US tour in 66. Phil was so jealous of Ronnie being around them that he wouldn't allow her to go on tour so they got their cousin to fill in. There's a couple youtube videos of audio from Toronto from that tour which features Nedra and Estelle on lead vocals. It's too bad they didn't do more lead vocals on record, both have excellent voices.

I never heard of Brian missing shows in Europe. I always thought they were mostly shows in the American Midwest.

Especially through the 70s.

They were ordinarily only ever a four-piece. Mick’s occasional harmonica or tambourine doesn’t make them a five-piece.

Not to mention through their 70s.

Brian missed the following shows, that I'm aware of
27/8/63 - Windsor *
28/8/63 - Eel Pie Island, Twickenham *
5/9/63 - Walmer
6/9/63 - Lowestoft
7/9/63 - Aberystwyth
21/1/64 - Aylesbury (two shows)
10/5/64 - Bristol (early show) (he was delayed in traffic)
11/11/64 - Milwaukee
12/11/64 - Fort Wayne
13/11/64 - Dayton
14/11/64 - Louisville (two shows) *
(at the shows asterisked, they replaced Brian with Stu - presumably on piano!)
Charlie missed
7/2/63 - Haringay, London
15/3/64 - Chatham (Charlie was delayed coming back from holiday due to bad weather. Mickey Waller deputised)
and - Mick actually missed a show too
8/9/62 = Ealing Jazz Club. Paul Jones deputised.

There have been early day concerts in the USA where Brian didn't turn up occasionally. His asthma was mentioned, I remember. Possibly some of our US IORR friends have (can find) some information about it.
Mick aparently was once replaced by Paul Jones very early on before they jumped into fame. Keith never missed a concert!

Didn't Keith tell about this show and Brian getting lost in Life? At least I've read about it somewhere.
