tonight i went to stonesplace to see/ hear bernard and blondie. first, allow me to correct something....it had been reported elsewhere that pierre de beauport would be there. well, he's on vacation in the south of france!!! bernard told me this.
the show was GREAT. and that is saying the least!! the band was at its best,doing stones' songs.....some older ones, some new ones. blondie was purely fantastic while bernard sang his heart out. it is so obvious that they love toronto.
jerry stone was, as usual, just plain terrific. we've been friends for many years,but he made everyone feel at home.
what a way to celebrate keith's birthday......freezing in toronto, while keith soaks up the sun in the islands!!!! sorry, just joking.....it was a wonderful night out with "stones people".

PLEASE NOTE: i forgot something important in my first post about stonesplace! there were many people there who use THIS SITE ONLY and were quite disappointed that the event was not "ADVERTISED" more here. they had to hear about it through the grapevine. but they made the long trip just to be there.
perhaps next time, iorr could help the fans who use this site only.....afterall, the party was for everyone. ok? thanks. |

I already received yours and I will upload them soon.

Well I sent the locations of the images to Lazy Bones, but seems that he's gone for a Lazy Sunday ;D
Here are some pix, hope someone can help to identify who is on each, as pointed above all by Toronto Tom, well except those with him on the picture
Well, I know... this is Stonesdoug, Toronto Tom and a friend

yes, that's it. the 20th was great.....i know one person in the pics from the 18th....big al, a really great guy.
the entire thing as taped by the stones' guys and of course, many fans were taping also.
to lazy bones, thanks for your offer.....i'll see what i can get from the pro guys,then i'll get back to you. thanks again. |
|
SHINE A LIGHT |
oh.vood. i forgot the other part of your question.....who else was playing. well,kindly forgive me, i don't know their names, but all the others were from canada!! the drummer was a-mazing. oh yeah!!!
jerry was selling t-shrts for the night......very good price, too. three different varieties....my husband and i got the black ones. jerry does things up right.
one complaint from bernard....when i asked him how he's been keeping busy in toronto, he said "tryin' to keep warm". good point. |
|
Lazy Bones |
Lol, Gerardo...I'd take a lazy Sunday over a busy Sunday anyday! Thanks for posting the pics and especially to Tom for taking and sending them.
Cheers! |

I forgot--they also played "Might As Well Get Juiced"--Bernard said --"Well, there's a song the Stone's have never tried!"---I said yes they did, at MSG, and then he said 'Well they've only done it once" |

I agree steelie... what a set what a set |
|

Did anyone ask Bernard or Blondie about pending tours or did you pussy out? |
|
glencar |
Maybe those guys'll tour & leave the Stones alone? Yeah! |
|
SHINE A LIGHT |
yes, i did. here's the deal......new songs are being written now-ish. they are planning to go into the studio in mid-end jan.2004. they are planning a north/south american tour starting in sept. 2004. |
|
glencar |
Funny you didn't post that earlier... |
|
jb |
Good for you SAL...atleast you aint no pussy. |
|
glencar |
I'm more concerned with her honesty. |
|
SHINE A LIGHT |
thanks jb......yeah i have no problem talking with those guys! they are really nice people.....blondie required help with his water (some jerk kicked it over, so i placed it where i could easily hand it to him)......for the night i was blondes' "water girl". he trusts me......there were others out there trying to hand him drinks, he kindly declined. you gotta be careful, there are always the crazies who will slip something terrible into a drink.
for those who don't know, blondes has trouble seeing while on stage,hence the "squinching" and the seeming lack of friendliness. |

CousinCocaine |
Excuse the question. I've been away some days.
What kind of room is this? Looks like an old fashion Stones-partyroom.
And as a drummer I'd like to know who did the drumming?
Did anyone record this?

SHINE A LIGHT |
hi, c.cocaine.....do you mean stonesplace?? well, it's an old mansion turned into a "stones museum". there are many areas.....sitting rooms, billiards room,MANY (too many to count) ronnie wood pieces of art on the walls, every news article on the stones known to man...all framed and on the walls,beautiful statuary (think of a classic english garden),and a bar with the small stage in front of the bar.oh yeah, framed guitars from the band, gold records from the band.....you name it, jerry has it.
as for the drummer, i very much apologise but i don't know his name. great big guy, wonderful drummer. he's from canada. did that help???
i forgot to add about the taping....yes, it's been taped.both professionally and by many fans. i'm sure something will turn up soon.

I am drinking too much and am now starting to shake. I suspect this is not good? |

Here I am with a wonderful, autographed Christmas gift from (Toronto) Tom! Wish I could have been there.
Thanks, Tom. |
