If we're talking about the same backstage photo...the band along with Billy Preston and Ollie Brown, all from the waist up, in front of a white background...yes. That's Annie's photo for which I came to LA. I would guess she didn't get more than 5 or 10 frames off. The Twitter shot is an out take from the same sequence. In the shot that was published in Rolling Stone, Keith is

No. She was totally aware of the opportunity that was before her, and she took it very seriously. Annie is a genius and the Stones knew it.

2nd show, LA Forum, Dec 8 1969. I wasn't a fan, so I took my trusty Bolex 8mm motion picture camera, loaded with a high speed Ektachrome emulsion so I would 'have something to do' during the show. BB King opened, followed by Ike & Tina Turner. The Stones took the stage around 2 or 3AM. The sun was rising as we headed for our cars after the show. I was blown away. I was going to

Quotetwo4fun111 hey 69, were they playing boogie woogie or what from what you can remember? Charlie was playing a snare with brushes. A slow loping groove. So it was probably a jazz number. Stu was a boogie woogie guy. But I suspect he shared Charlie's admiration and respect for jazz. The band was set up in the living room of a large house on the LI coast NE of Montauk. They'd s

I mistakenly identified Nov 17 as the date for the iconic Brussels concert. Midnight Gambler is right. It was Oct 17, not Nov 17. I guess I'm getting old. But I've always been under the impression Bobby was on that recording...originally a King Biscuit Flower Hour FM quad broadcast...and assumed it was before Paris and the bathtub. If he wasn't Bobby Keys on sax, who was it?
