The name of that club in Santa Monica is the Joint. There is a regular Monday night show there, involving Waddy Wachtel, Bernard Fowler and other musicians. Keith popped up there around the time of the Willie Nelson & Friends show at the Wiltern, I believe, but that was not the first time that he played at the Joint. I understand that Neil Young showed up to perform there in mid-May.

Here is what I found at the above link: June 13, 2005 I had placed a Rolling Stones Abkco release up and should have gathered more moss, as it were. There is apparently some doubt as to the source information and so I am removing the info and chalking it up to rumour. If it ends up being so, well...but for now, let's pretend that you didn't see it. I apologize for any excitement

I haven't seen any posters in the street, but there have been print ads. Today's New York Times has a full-page ad for the Madison Square Garden show in September. And on the side of a building on the north side of Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, I recently saw a huge tongue with the words "Coming Soon" beneath.

L.A.'s station KCSN FM 88.5 has a Saturday night program called Stone City . . . it's wall-to-wall Stones, and commercial-free to boot. Anytime I hear a Stones song that is not commonly played on the radio, I get goosebumps. Tonight's selections that did that for me included Silver Train, You Got the Silver and Take It Or Leave It.

Does anyone out there happen to have a photo of Mick wearing a T-shirt from Syracuse? A friend said he gave a photo like this to me years ago. Now he wants it back so he can scan it for a CD cover. The photo I had was lost in a fire. If anyone can come to my aid, I would appreciate it.

A screening of Born to Boogie was held in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Rolan Bolan, Marc Bolan's son, was on hand and spoke briefly to the audience. Rolan is also a musician; he told me that he had a gig coming up in Long Beach. Born to Boogie is a terrific film, especially for people like me who never saw T Rex perform live or on film before. Both Elton John and Ringo perform a few num

Is the photographer for Black and Blue named Hiro? I think that is true, but if someone knows for sure, please post a confirmation.

I have a lot of affection for Hot Rocks, 1964-71. That was my first Stones album, and it certainly worked for me. It shows the evolution of the band better than any of the other collections. After that, it would make sense to pick up More Hot Rocks, and then Made in the Shade or Jump Back. By that point, you may want to go back and pick up each and every album, at least the studio albums. The

Thanks for the responses on my question about the IORR credits. Many of you are probably familiar with the Rhino remastered editions of Elvis Costello's albums. Each reissued album includes a booklet with reflections by EC of the recording sessions and other events, and a second disc includes outtakes, demos and live tracks. Wouldn't it be great if the Stones did something simil

This is hardly an urgent question, but can anyone explain the listing of the band members' names on the inner sleeve of It's Only Rock 'n Roll?

The first track, If You Can't Rock Me, kicks off with drums. Charlie, of

I got an AIDS diagnosis in 1991, and at that time I thought that the Steel Wheels shows in 1989 would turn out to be my last Stones concerts, I was thrilled when the band toured the U.S. in 1994.

The band's extended "family" (Daryl, Blondie, Lisa, Chuck, Bernard, etc.) has been stable for several tours, and don't forget the longtime presence of Bobby Keys. I don't see them jeopardizing with their success by bringing in new players and shooing others out the door. But for many fans, our eyes are riveted to Charlie, Mick, Keith and Ron, anyhow.

I scored a ticket to the Wiltern performance in 2002, along with many other fans who started to line up at sunrise that day. The box office began to sell tickets after Solomon Burke's performance began, which meant that many fans stood (or sat, or slept) in line up to 15 hours. But the point is that I saw the Stones in a theater, and paid face value for the ticket ($50). My seat was in the m
