Bruce's wife Patti sang on Talk Is Cheap, so way back is the word for the relationship...

Remember the deal about when the Stones were in NYC recording 'Dirty Work', and Patti Scialfa came in to do some vocals, and Bruce was with her (even though he was still technically married to Julianne Moore at the time), and Keith said, I think in a 'Playboy' magazine interview, that he thought Bruce was a great guy, but "...naughty, naughty..." (I remember that bit).
So yeah, clearly they know each other, and I think you're right - there's probably a level of respect (well, Bruce makes no qualms about who gets him excited, be it the Beatles, Stones, Clash, whoever!).

I just watched it again. The two of them were all over each other at the end of the song. They didnt handshake afterwards because theyd already embraced.

Yes....admittedly as it was on at 2.30 am here and Mrs Gazza was asleep I didnt have it very loud but the guitars were too low for the first few songs.

I actually feared the worst before the show because the sound on the 'fan video' that preceded it was shocking.

She seemed to enjoy the rest of the gig from the audience as well!!

This one?



Backstage in LA in 1994 on the Stones' Voodoo Lounge tour. I think one of these shots ended up in the Stones tour program from around that time.

These are fantastic!!!


I thought Lady Gaga did just fine...i just don't get the hate being tossed about...great look...great costume...
She seemed like she was enjoying it and at times it appeared to me like she was doing her "moves like Jagger "..

Roger that, Android. Yup, I think GaGa did fine, better perhaps than Mary J. And she looks great (for those who like looking at talented, pretty young women).
But not as great as Florence: in the words of WaitingOnaFriend:
"Oh little Flo,
How I love you so,
Especially in your nightie.
When the moonlight flits,
Across your tits,
Oh jesus christ almighty".

Yeah that's the one. Cool pic. Yes, I don't know what I was thinking last night. Too many green bottles drank.

Thanks Jini!  and thanks for being our eyes and ears for all of these concerts!!

You giggled like an idiot watching the PPV!!!!! You'd faint onstage.  

I agree with COM too.
I loved all the guests.
They accepted the invitation and gave it their best.
You could read it on their faces; they were thrilled and honored to be onstage with The Rolling Stones.
I loved seeing Gaga rock out in the Pit after her performance.


What a glorious night.

As I posted on Facebook, last night I got to see my Band again and although I wasn't in the arena, I was fortunate to watch them on a 72" HD TV (better than standing in the Pit imho) in a room lit only with candles and Christmas lights; surrounded by special friends. Mick Jagger IS the 8th wonder of the world and it was great to watch the faces of those who hadn't seen them "live" before.

The Stones delivered and made me so proud. If I never get the chance to see them perform live again, I will be okay. Because you can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes, you get what you need. I'm home now but I feel like I'm still in a dream. A very good dream.

Thanks for the hospitality Nanky. Gold rings on you!!

yes, me too. As well as the old pics of Brian and the band that were displaying during the first two songs:  Cloud and Last Time.
