They are *not* paying Darryl 3/4 of a million a year, I can tell you that.

3/4 million a year sounds about right to me....considering what the others make, that's not much. I'll bet Chuck's pulling at least 500,000.00 |

I would imagine that Bobby Keys makes more than Chuck Leavell. Bobby's sax playing helped define the Stones classic sound in the early 70's. Chuck is an OK keyboard player but he's no Ian Stewart or Nicky Hopkins. |

Well MOWAT, while I cannot argue about Bobby having been around longer, and while he may have had more to do with forming the sound of the Stones in the classic era, I would guess that Chuck makes more. He is much more involved with the running of the band now from rehearsals to stage bow no matter how we all feel about it. He is also present for every number where as Bobby comes and goes. I suspect that Chuck may be the highest paid sideman the Stones have ever had, barring Ronnie who was for years technically just a hired hand.

very interesting thread, but I kind of doubt we'll ever know (unless Chuck writes some sort of filthy "tell all" book so that he can buy more hunting land) |

Bobby Keys received $5000 per show in 1997, and all hotel, food and travel bills were paid as well. This sum was disclosed as he missed some shows and went to court to get the money back for every show he missed.
