He looked a little buzzed last night. Was stumbling all over the place early in the show. He still sounded good though imo. I heard a Philly gossip column saw him having cocktails for what it's worth. Hope he can keep it together. |

At Boston, it was clear that he was hanging with Mick and away from Keith at the after-show parties, which obviously was intended to stay sober. The same in Chi-town. I would dearly hope the Philly gossip is wrong. There is no "sorta on the wagon" option. On or off. I hope he keeps it together for his sake and the band's. |

Sir Mick & pals roll into party
THURSDAY night was latenight Party Night in Dear Old Philly.
Time was on the side of the most Stoned Roller of them all, Mick Jagger, who got some satisfaction at the "after party" at 1616 Locust following the premiere performance of Cirque du Soleil's "Varekai," now playing under the Big Top at Broad & Washington.
Just a handful of the 1,000 people jammed into the private party - including Cirque's performers - got a glimpse of Sir Mick, who arrived 'round midnight and was hustled to a small, comfy VIP room in the basement where he hooked up with guitar man Ron Wood (hard to miss in bright blue shoes). Wood put in some serious hang-out time, sipping cocktails and smoking cigarettes. (Best line of the night: One of the partygoers said she was going to snatch one of his butts and put it on eBay.)
Jagger - wearing a striped Oxford shirt and jeans, with his hair neatly trimmed - didn't stay long enough for a taste of brown sugar, let alone a drink, say Stu's Spies. While there, he was friendly and easy to deal with.
It was not the first time that day Jagger jumped to 1616.
During the day, he, Wood, guitarist Keith Richards and drummer Charlie Watts showed up for separate sit-downs with homeboy Ed Bradley, who was working hard (or hardly working?) on a "60 Minutes" piece on the World's Oldest, um, Greatest Rock and Roll Band. Yes, it was only an interview, but they liked it.
At the party, Jagger yakked about the tour and his affection for Philadelphia, especially some of the high-end restaurants where he's been carbo-loading.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez requested and received tickets to Varekai, but attended neither show nor the party.
� The Pretenders were the Stones' opening act and two Pretenders - drummer Martin Chambers and bassist Andy Hopson - (plus crew) found their way to Ulana's (203 Bainbridge), where they hung until 2 a.m.
It was not an accident. The Pretenders are friendly with the Jamie O'Donnell Band, which was playing Ulana's, and that led to a jam session featuring Chambers and Hopson, his trademark mutton-chop sideburns adorning his puss.
In case you're wondering, lead singer Chrissie Hynde didn't show because she doesn't drink anymore, but insists on a full accounting of each night's activities from her band mates, Hopson told one of Stu's Spies while hoisting a Heineken. (Chambers chose Corona.)
A few blocks away, injured Eagles defensive tackle Hollis Thomas and linebacker Barry Gardner were the top luminaries at the "Very, Very Important Person" debut of the Living Room (125 S. 2nd), the former Proto Lounge, which got a massive makeover from dim and dreary to bright and slick.
The party animals were roaring from the bar at one end of the room to the comfy sofa seats at the other.

Alright, phew! That does not say "I ran into Ronnie Wood at a rave where he was downing pills and taking shots like a reject from the cast of Quadrophenia".
And Ronnie does stagger about a bit on stage. Was this a "whoa, I'm drunk" stagger, with those glazed eyes, or a "whoa, it's hot in here" stagger, with that look of intense Ronnie concentration?

No security! No Hell's Angels - just Ronnie!
"Hey, I fuckin' know you?"
"Yeah! You probably do! They call me Soul Survivor! I post lots of things over on Rocks Off, y'know? I just kinda ripped through posts and-"
*WHUMP*
"But y'don't anymore, right?"
"You hit me in the fuckin' eye, man!"
"Y'don't, right?"
"Yeah! Yeah! Gerroffame! Some crazy lawyer in Florida, he done it! Posted so he'd get a special title for reaching 1000 before they removed the silly titles!"
"Righty-o. Keep up the good work, then."
"Arrgh! Thank you! You rule, man!"

I was at the show with lonecrapshooter, and I think he was definitely a bit juiced. Acted quite foolishly at times.
He was very good on some songs but I will say No Expectations was an
EMBARRASSMENT
he was joking around with the people in the front rows when he should have been watching his guitar , almost mandatory when playing sit down style. Didn't compare to Love In Vain at the FUC, where woody actually did a seering slide solo
I don't think this is very professional.
I THInk Mick was aware of it also.
This was a great show but I thought the crowd and intensity at FUC made this the best show I have seen so far on this tour. Gillette stadium was awesome also |

Man, I'm wayyyyy too worried about Ronnie.
Please, Ronnie buddy! Don't do this to us! After all your good work so far?
If any of you see him on the street, whatever, please just go up to him and say something like "Erm, excuse me, Mr. Wood? I just wanted to say what an awesome job you're doing this tour and I hope you stay clean the rest of your life, because you're fucking amazing that way."
Or something like that.
I'm tempted to scrounge up my ticket to fax into RS.com just to post something to that effect on their message boards.
Sad, no? I had a quiz in Physics today - drew a little picture of Ronnie downing a shot of something and talked about the "Speed of Ronnie Wood's inebriation (1999 figures - hopefully not this tour!)"
-tSYX --- Worried about you! |

I think we are all concerned about Ronnie, however I am sure, that he himself has realised how he does himself more justice sober, let alone us and the rest of the band. So let's hope he can find the strength to stay sober.

my coach went to either the comiskey show or united center show and somehow managed backstage passes. he said none of the band was there but he talked with ron woods wife who was aking him if he knew of any AA meetings since it ws his 6 month anniversery of being on the wagon. maybe he was drinking like soda out of a drink glass or something else. hope he doesnt fall off the wagon or keith will sock him in the eye!!! |
