I think this is one of the nicest ideas I've heard for a long time. It's for Stu and in his honour with proceeds going to a great charity. I was lucky enought to see Stu play live with Rockett 88 and Charlie back in the early 80's. He was such a nice, normal guy and very unasuming. He signed ny "Never Stop" bootleg on vinyl and said "what the f**** this."

Hi everyone, I just received the following email today from Ben Waters: Hi Guys I am sat in a hotel lobby in Dusseldorf and enjoying the first day off for a long time, despite the drizzly gloom hanging over the city. Ady, Rich and I are mid tour, we did a few days in Finland and then flew to Dusseldorf where my very good friend Ben De Candole met us with my van and all the equipment. W

Maybe, but I thought it was a little odd as there appeared to be faily strong rumours saying the Stones would roll in 2010. Then suddendly it was all off..

Does anyone know why the Stones seemingly decided not to tour in 2010? I know this may be old ground, but what were the reasons for this decision? Cheers,

Agreed, the wait will be worthwhile when it's released. These things take time and we are talking about their greatest ever recordings. It will be like a bottle of vintage wine.

Many years ago I saw Charlie Watts & Ian Stewart play a Rocket 88 show at the Hlaf Moon pub in Putney. Afterwards, Ian Stewart signed a vinyl boot I had with me. It was from the 82 European tour in Rotterdam. I remenber Stu said "What the f**** this!" A famous old pub indeed.

I read somewhere (can't remenber where) it would be maybe January or February 2010. Let's hope so.

I'm hopeful there will be some nice surprises when the new Exile is relased. Keith said there were new songs there.
Forum: Tell Me

Do you think it will be a 2 disc set? I hope so, as it would be great to have the re-mastered Exile, plus another disc with the un-released material.

Chris Jagger was the special guest at the 3 shows in which Charlie Watts played last week with Ben Waters.
Forum: Tell Me

Yes, I saw that show last week. Charlie's drumming was really fantastic. If anyone get's the chance to stand there in a small club and watch him play the drums it's a privelage.
