I'm afraid to ask what Stones tix will cost next year

Vegas odds has this guy listed as the favorite as Bernard's "special guest"...

Fyi... the Knitting Factory is selling tix to this show for $18

but if you want to blow an extra $322 for the chance to have cocktails with Albert Mayles, then absulutely get the "VIP" tix thru the Fan (insane) Asylum.

Special Guest Alexandra Richards added + Special Rate!

Bernard Fowler

Bernard Fowler's talents as a singer, songwriter, producer and instrumentalist have resonated through the span of his extraordinary career in the music industry. He has appeared on over 30 albums, most recently focusing his artistic energy onto his first solo project, Friends with Privileges. This critically acclaimed effort draws from his diverse influences, and exercises his wide-ranging, powerful vocals while coupling his unique brand of rock with stylish grooves.

Fowler's first success in the music industry came early in his career as a trailblazer of house music in the garage music era. As a member of the New York Citi Peech Boys, Fowler started his trend of musical experimentation with the club hit "Don't Make Me Wait." While collaborating with Herbie Hancock on Hancock's album Future Shock, he began his long-standing relationship Mick Jagger, contributing to Jagger's solo album She's the Boss. Fowler went on to appear on every Rolling Stones album from 1989's Steel Wheels to 2008's Shine A Light.

He has lent his inspired vocals on solo albums for Keith Richards and Ron Wood, as well as fronting two jazz albums for Charlie Watts, and producing two albums for Ron Wood. He has toured with The Rolling Stones to every continent, performing for massive audiences the world over. Fowler has also worked with members of Pearl Jam, Def Leppard, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Neville Brothers as well as recorded and performed with Yoko Ono, Duran Duran, Herb Albert, Nicklebag, Robert Plant, Living Colour, Sly & Robbie, Johnnie Johnson and Bootsy Collins. While working on his next solo project, he continues to record and tour with the bands Tackhead and Bad Dog.

For $350 one could buy a date with Bernard.

I can't go but I'm guessing for $18 it acn't be too bad. BF can certainly sing nicely!@

Keith was in the audience, but he didn't perform!

That would have been excellent.

Hope he didnt sign too many though - we need those digits for future use!

Thanks for the heads-up, Bitch! I wish I could have stopped by and given my regards from RO. Yer a doll.  

Oh hell yeah. (And do I detect a finger light to Keith's right?)

Finger light...RO WAS there.

Hey ROCKS OFF! AHHH YEAH seeing KEEF was a major thrill! After I got there it was rumored KEEF might show for the gig but I didnt expect him to go thru the front door, I figured there was a back door he would use but he used the front door! I went in at 7-ish and listened to Alex & Theo's DJ gig. Watching them was fun, they acted so frantic when all the songs are already loaded on their Apple computer! But they seemed like the song selection was unplanned, and there were NO Stones songs played dispite the many tongues in the house. They are so fvcking cute with big smiles and they did some dancing to the music. OK. The Fan Asylum VIP's were upstairs and the regular paying customers were down on the floor. I got right up front and Waddy's assistant gave us some guitar picks and a copy of the set list. He was cool and so was the band. Just as Bernard took the stage KEEF was guided to his spot in the VIP area. He was very gracious and stood up waving to the crowd, also hugged Al Maysles and greeted some other friends and fans. He is so fvcking cool, theres no getting around that fact! Bernard was stoked and played his heart out with the band, I guess he was excited KEEF was in the house! It was a really special night FOR SURE, a night to remember.  KEEF was one of the crowd enjoying the show and he especially waved his arms around during the finale Jumping Jack Flash. He realy liked hearing his own song being played!
