What a great tour, with the extra added bonus of this incredible Fall leg, which provided some extraordinary shows. Let's drink to the hard-working people...let's drink to the salt of the earth...let's drink to the Rolling Stones and all the nameless, faceless people who made it all possible.
I'm gonna miss ya, buddies. Enjoy your vacations...you've earned 'em, and then some. Thanks for giving us some of the greatest moments in rock and roll history. Gold rings on ya. Be well.

I recognize the four guys in the middle of that picture from the pictures in my Rolling Stones albums
but who are those other 9 people standing around them in the picture? |

I was led to believe that in this age of viagara, 'fluffers' were no longer required.
My first thought on looking at that pic was that its not too hard to pick out the four who are English.... |

There are 4 members of the Rolling Stones, yet they have 13 people on stage. JESUS! I know that maybe they're not on stage all at the same time, but the sheer volume of the extras really hits you in that photo. |

you'll be relieved to know that there are ONLY 12 musicians onstage when they perform the classic bare-bones rocker "Little T&A"
Mick sits that one out |

Yeah, it does. As much as I'd LOVE to see just the four (well, five, counting Chuck) of them play a tour, I really have gained a new respect for the rest of the gang (with the exception of the horn section - I really could do without that, except for Bobby of course).
Anyway, they're a hard-working bunch. When I think that they've been touring since August, 2005, and on such a grand scale, I've really got to hand it to 'em, especially considering the fact that they're not youngsters anymore. Bravo, boys! |

heck, why not? Actually I'm surprised he's not at center stage playing keyboards
and yet the REALLY WEIRD PART is that Keith is the only one of the 13 that isnt playing an instrument during this song
