Most valuable, emotionally, is my autograph of Bill Wyman. Money-wise.. I don't know?! I really don't have that much stuff.. I'm not that rich you see.. let's see.. I have a mint condition Let It Bleed vinyl.. but I don't think you can make a lot of money with that.. a couple of singles but they've all got the middle bit removed, so they're not worth much either.. I don't know. And don't care because I don't plan on selling any of it.
I've got this big black and white picture of jagger on this kind of thin wood with the framing on the back of it, it is from 76 in europe I think and he has a cigarette in his mouth or maybe even a joint, it looks evil man, some chick gave it to me years back, I do not think it has real value, could be wrong, but I have it all wrapped up and in storage, when the time is right I will dust it off and put it on a wall for all to see.
For me it would be my signed pieces. Since 2004, I have been able to have Keith, Mick and Ronnie sign various things. One of the items I had Keith sign was Rolling With The Stones, which was already signed by Bill and his co-author.
I collect a number of Stones items including sheet music, photographs, tour programs, books, subway posters, and the like. One of my favorite pieces of memorabilia is this photo I took of Mick, in August of '94, which he later signed for me.
Mine would be, other than many front-row memories from shows which are priceless, my 3 keith guitar pics, the 3rd one he tossed right at me in zurich this summer.
I was the stupid person who brought my sister one of the first copies of Beggar's Banquet from London full autographed to her by each Stone including Brian. WHY was I so generous?
But, yet, I wouldn't trade the memories of wonderful live concerts for anything or the teenage thrill of the first playing of any new Stones single on KHJ Radio in Los Angeles. etc. I can still vividly recall the sound of Mick's leather belt hitting a wooden stage in Sweden on "Midnight Rambler."
I'm sure that some of the young kids seeing and hearing the Stones in concert on this world tour will NEVER forget it.
I guess the most valuable keepsake for me isn't a material one.
I know everyone complains about how they don't like YCAGWYW, but at my first concert, it was an out of body experience.
You'd think that hearing my alltime favorite Stones song (Jumpin' Jack Flash) would be it, but it wasn't really - it was god-awesome too, but not as much as YCAGWYW.
They come out for their encore. Very quietly they step into it. Even though it's a more rock-oriented piece when they play it on tour, what I was hearing was the acoustic version. The slow opening was just enough to make tears well up in your eyes. Those 7 minutes that the song played for were liberating. I forgot about all the stress of my life, all of the worry. It was the singular moment I can recall as being worry free in my life. It was the only moment I can remember where I was in the now.
That's the greatest piece of memorabilia: peace of mind.

Well, I didn't want to have to tell you, but I got it off of your mother's lips. Or was it your sister? I can't remember these things I do remember though that I had to take a number in the line that was forming towards her bathroom. The wait was worth it though - I even got a picture and a t-shirt at the gift shop!
An origial oil painting of Keith in the year 2000. It was done by artist Bryan Ed Demory. It has Keith wearing his Leopard SKin jacket that he wore on the Voodoo Tour and he has a cigarette in his mouth. Its about 2 1'2 feet all. Excellent piece. If anyone is interested in it. Lets talk.
