These guys are swimming in money and the idea that they couldn't fly to their home country (not some far off place) even for one night is utter crap. People with far less means attend all types of things on the other side of the world. The only way I can see this as forgivable is if either or both of them had a serious reason for not attending. Not liking each other is not a serious reason.

They don't even have to like each other. Looking at the videos and the way this was orchestarted so to speak.They didn't have to do the whole show. They each could of done at least 1 song and not even together. Maybe Keith has an excuse because he hasn't played in so long. But mick has been active recently. Although this wasn't a big nationally televised event. So it wasn't big enough for his ego. Whatever,it sure is fun to see guys who love to just play do it....and if the golden girls don't want to do anything then let's hope these guys find a way to get together and play music some more.

My sentiments exactly.

Thanks for the great photos of these smiling and happy guys.  Looks like they were all having a great time celebrating the life of someone who was so vital to their success.

  Will have to check the videos later.

These are so cool, I love seeing Woody & Mick T playing together, it's so great. They had good eye contact and played off each other nicely. Mick T still plays effortlessly. Ronnie's a real musician, he can play with anyone and everyone. Thats what I love about Ronnie, he's humble and not a big rock star ego tripper.

If KEEF couldnt be bothered to show up at least his daughter Angela did! She must of been on the guest list!

Agree completely - and no doubt the tabloids will have a field day with it. And with good reason.

So, Mick can fly 6,000 miles to do a tribute to Solomon Burke, but he can't do a tribute to Ian Stewart in his hometown? Why not? Well, I suppose the ego factor of his performance being seen by 400 million people instead of 400 in a club may JUST have something to do with it? And Keith can fly all the way to London to sign a few books but he can't do the same to even make a cameo appearance as a tribute to the guy who, according to his autobiography, was mainly responsible for bringing the band together in the first place?

They could put aside their differences in 1986 when they performed together as a tribute to Stu. But they cant in 2011? Speaks volumes for what they've both become since Stu died, unfortunately. Fuck me, how difficult could it have been? What a pair of classless prima donnas.


The Stones as a live band basically dont and wont exist unless there's some promoter out there willing to stump up a nine figure sum to entice Mick and Keith to tolerate each other being in the same room for months on end.

I know the show wasn't ABOUT the Stones, and Stu wasn't JUST the band's piano player, so it was good that the music reflected different aspects opf his career. The Stones WERE a part of that and there's really no excuse for them getting together and playing even a couple of songs together as a band.

It sounds like it was still a great night without them and everyone seems to have enjoyed it which is the main thing. I'd have loved to have been able to go. Great to see four of the six surviving band members together, but there'll always be an element of 'what should have been' that will overshadow a memorable evening, unfortunately.

A huge 'well done' to Ben Waters for bringing everyone together and to all the musicians who gave their time to perform.

I would refrain from judging them just yet. I can't help but remember all the sh*t we've been throwing at Keith for his lack of activity in the near past and then it turned out Patti had been sick. I'm not saying it's matter of illness this time too, but I can't rush into conclusions without knowing exactly what happened.

And I think it would be unfair to doubt what Stu meant either to Mick or Keith, just because they didn't attend a gig, even a gig dedicated to him.

Like I said previously, if the absence was health related (be it themselves or someone close) then fair enough. No question about that.

If that isn't the case, it reflects badly on both of them. Sorry, but to me there's no getting around that. It was a tribute to Stu, after all. Not someone they barely knew or hardly ever played with.

There's nothing to suggest that either of them had longstanding prior working commitments that would have clashed with it. Plus they both have residencies and family nearby. Its not as if the gig took place in Japan.

As a fan, it just disappoints me that they will not perform outside of a tour as a band. There have been opportunities in recent years for them to do so, and its ended up as a 'solo' gig or a half-band reunion - the RnR Hall of fame tribute in 1989, Live Aid, The Concert for New York, the 'Ronnie Wood & Fiends' show in London in 2005 - and now you can add last night to it.

The last time they did so? The Stu tribute in 1986. And THAT was a private gig for family and friends. You have to go all the way back to the Stones' surprise appearance at the two CNIB shows in Toronto in 1979 for the last time that they performed a public gig as a band which wasn't part of a tour. There hasnt even been a TV appearance in that time either.

As a fan, I too would like to see them playing live more often, lock themselves in the studio and make some new music, have a better relationship as a band and see the Glimmers growing over their super-inflated egos - I'm with you 100%.

But if we were to see it as a gesture for Stu, I think what they did back in 86 was more important for them and him, than showing up in a public gig. It sure as hell wouldn't hurt if they did, and yes, they could have easily done it - but I just don't think we should rely much on this with regard to what it says about their respect for Stu.

I have to agree with Gazza.
I am very disappointed in them and barring health reasons, SHAME ON YOU MICK AND KEITH for not
attending this tribute.

Not really, Fotini. I don't see that the two have to be mutually exclusive or that should be a pecking order of importance.

Not a single member of the public outside the band's inner circle saw that 1986 show. No one's asking or expecting them to pull off a 2-hour gig, but throwing fans a few crumbs once in a while by playing a few songs together as a band when a perfect and worthy opportunity presents itself isn't THAT much to ask, I think.
