Concerning the backing musicians on tour, I read on this forum some time ago, they'd be having free travel and accommodation plus a mere 500 or 1000 Dollars per gig. With a view to the principals, it doesn't really sound generous.

I clearly remember having repeatedly read that Charlie had the habit of sketching every single hotel room bed he ever slept in. And I remember having seen such sketches. However, I can't find any such sketch on the internet as of now. But I found this on the internet:- Charlie Watts drew a sketch of every bed he ever slept in.

Quotebv QuoteNate Quotebv Women are just as capable as men in playing football. Still, some with a macho mind may think women should stay at home. Women may play handball, run marathon, do cross country skiing, downhill skiing, golf and most other sports, just like men.

Dean Goodman described it in his review here on IORR as follows: His “Gimme Shelter” intro sounded like backstage noodling that wasn’t intended for public consumption. And that's exactly the impression I get from the youtube clip of it.
