"second chance" indeed People can say all they want about MJ, but he's the reason MT is standing on stage right now.

Justin, the initiation is over....we love you!
Thank you for sharing some of the BEST pictures I've seen.

Youre not kidding, either. And the videos have been great too.

We've been quite pleased with how our facebook page has taken off since we launched it exactly 18 months ago. At the weekend, it had over 2,400 'likes'. Following the second Anaheim and LA shows in the last 3 days we've uploaded some of Justin's videos - and as of this morning that figure has shot up to 2,566.

Thanks so much Parmeda...taking photos at shows has been a little hobby of mine these last few years and I think all those shows I've been to was in preparation and training for these Stones shows this year! So happy you got to enjoy the pictures as well!!

Is that true, Gazza? Wow! How great! Thank you so much for sharing my videos on there---that's a huge thrill for me. If you'd like to post any of my pictures as well--feel free!

Yup. The seeds were planted for all this back in '10, for the "Exile" reissue project. It was all Jagger's doing. Keith evidently had no knowledge of Taylor's participation in the "Plundered" overdub session.

"I picture luxury and GotToRollMe enjoying the jam together and sharing a high five."

Thanks LJ, I know they're both taking it all in.

Funny though on Luxury and Mick T., did she tell you about the night she met him at the Woodstock show in 2010?

Do share!!

Gazza, first let me say that is a very sweet Bob Dylan vibe you've got working now.

Justin, I'm with everyone else here. Thank you for the great photos! Bringing back many memories.

We saw MT at the Bearsville Theatre show in Woodstock, pretty much right before he cancelled the remaining shows of the 2010 tour. This was right before the Exile rerelease.

That's what brought my last post to mind. The MT I saw that evening just seemed tired, withdrawn, uninterested in what he was doing. Now I see him thinner and hamming it up a bit on stage, really enjoying himself. Two totally different personas. If anything, MJ, by using MT this tour, will give MT's career and life outlook a much needed boost. Mick does seem to be doing a fellow musician a very good deed indeed. Is it me or is Mick the caring adult and Keith the spoiled child?

Anyway after the Bearsville show Luxury wanted to know if MT would be signing autographs (she had brought her GHS album, their first release after she had become a fan)

This "theatre" (not really a theatre, but a bar in one section, a small stage in the other w/open space or seating) had a downstairs where the musicians had their dressing room. Well Luxury walks right down the stairs and knocks on the dressing room door ("routine five" she always called it) The manager opens the door and sees her and his eyes are bugging out and he's smiling, and yells "Hey Mick, someone here would like to know if you're signing autographs". MT slowly walks to the door, kind of shuffling, smiling. Luxury asks him the same question, and he says "If you guide me I think I can make it". Well he takes her hand and follows her up the stairs and starts to sign for people.

Thanks to Luxury I got my VGP Eurpe '73 disc signed by MT!

Funny side story about that. Before he signed it he looks at his manager and is saying something to the effect, "what's this?, did they release a live album and not tell me?"

He was gracious though and signed it.

Thank you Mick J for letting Mick T on stage.

Mick T does certainly look to be in better condition than he was even last November when I saw him with the Stones in London. Could well be that looking after himself was a pre condition of him playing on this tour.
