I liked Ronnie's story about how when he turned up for rehearsal in Toronto, each band member had a name allocated for their own room :
Recovery ; Camp X-Ray : Workout ; The Cotton Club
(guess which one is which!)
Mick has said that they are doing a 'tribute' feature in each show where they cover a 'classic' artist.
So, they've rehearsed some Chuck Berry songs, Otis' "Mr Pitiful", Ray Charles' "Lonely Avenue" and Marley's "Lively up Yourself" in addition to what we know of already, plus a new style version of The Last Time as well as the reworking they did of 19th Nervous Breakdown

Not bad at all
Part 1 was more to do with the band's relationships with their fans and the media, although there were some good interviews with the band members
Part 2 is more concerned with the new album and whats next for the band. (The preview of Monday's show which featured a clip of Charlie talking about his reaction when he was told he had cancer and saying how he cried because he thought he was going to die was quite sobering)
The show ends with "Infamy" so when you listen back to the streamed version of the show on the BBC's website, you'll finally get that one in excellent quality for the first time |

I liked the bit about Mick telling Keith, "of course it's going to sound like The Stones - it's us
Poor Charlie; no matter how phlegmatic a character one is, news like that is always shattering. For such a reluctant interviewee Charlie's always been incredibly honest, even about things he hates like his "midlife crisis", and he can't like reliving more recent events.

Keef's quote about not being a tennis player was the best bit for me.
As well as the songs they have rehearsed but have not played yet - HOT STUFF indeed !
Must be waiting til I see them in Colombus and Toronto !

Thanks, Gazza.
Very interesting comment about Keith: "he's interested in the money but not the business side"...
