WOW! Did YOU take that picture, Bitch? (Hope I'm not too forward addressing you like that!) It's the best shot I've seen of the legendary '75 announcement.

Actually, I think they announced a press conference and then didn't show up...the press was inside waiting for them to arrive when they heard the commotion outside, and then had to hustle outside to get a glimpse of them.

Actually my boyfriend (at the time) took that photograph and he was the one who found out about the Press Conference because he was a writer/photographer. The so called Press Conference wasnt open to the public so I really dont know if they dissed the reporters but that sounds like something they would of done at that time!

PS. You can call me Bitch, that my handle here on Rocks Off and I like it. And I'm NOT a Bitch, in fact I'm very friendly! BITCH is my all time favorite Stones tune. I love the opening riff, it makes me happy every single time I hear it!

Excellent question. However we can only speculate. Being as all band members (minus Mick Taylor... we "think"..) have been reported to be in London in the past ten days, where this ..."jam"..... was supposedly to take place in the said time frame, we are presuming it did/or is occurring right now.

Ok..I think I can give you the info now. I was given this info on the day the session started, but wasnt allowed to post it.

However, as I've had the same info verified by two other people unconnected with the person who originally told me (and more info provided) - and neither of them told me NOT to post it - I think its fair enough to share it by now.

The Stones jammed in a rehearsal studio in London's Chelsea area from Tuesday 6th to Thursday 8th December.

Bill Wyman and Ben Waters were there for all three days. Mick Jagger joined the band on the last day. (He had a prior engagement in Paris earlier in the week - the Scorsese tribute event)

The band simply did some blues jams. It wasn't a recording session. By all accounts, things went well and it appears relations between Mick and Keith seem to be fine. Clearly, some olive branches were needed, but it certainly appears that World War III has been averted - again!

Despite speculation to the contrary on other sites, Mick Taylor wasn't there.

I'm personally not reading anything significant into the inclusion of Wyman and Waters (or the non-inclusion of Taylor) regarding 2012 because it really does appear it was a case of a few friends who were available having a jam session to keep their playing chops together. It could simply be that Leavell and Jones - who live in the US - werent available.

There is no concrete info regarding 2012 plans as yet. Everything I've heard suggests they'll tour, but where, when and for how long is merely speculation at this point. Aside from understanding that a career-spanning DVD release is in the works for their 50th anniversary and probably a UMG-issued compilation, I'm unaware of any firm plans for new releases. As yet.

my dream version of this is that the band with Bill Charlie Ron Mick Keith Bill and a british pianist (Ben will do) with Mick Taylor as a feature will play two week or so at various important top the band's history type venue...London Chicago LA NYC Paris perhaps.......5000 seats or less. two horns Bobby and a trumpet.......

no Blondie n Lisa no Chuck no Daryll no Bernard.....OR let those folks open for the stones.

1 and a half set with a few blues numbers.

Thanks for the info. If Mick Taylor had been there it would have been even more amazing but having Wyman playing with Mick and Keith again is enough for me. At the very most, I can see him doing a European leg but even that seems unlikely. Still, this is more than enough. I just wonder if Mick and Keith might be doing something more than token for Ian Stewart, but judging from past behavior, I doubt it.

________________________________

Well done and bravo to your knowledge to the gathering, Mate. As well, I gotta respect your silence until a bit of time had passed (shows manners).

However I am a bit "let-down". As well, I simply can't see the point in renting a rehearsal studio for a three day jam with no real purpose behind it? Why didn't they just spend three days at one of their mansions if they wanted to play music together again that bad...?? I certainly believe what you said happened is true... however, I gotta say, I think it was meant for a specific direction... rather than them wanting to simply get re-acquainted.

I mean really, did they all bring a picnic basket or something? Still... the news is good Gazza and I know you are only relaying what your inside source told you and we thank you for the news.. .. .. As well, I appreciate your reluctance to not jump the gun and assume. Shows professionalism. Nice work mate -
