I've been a little out of touch and found out last minute that Bobby has played with Tributasaurus, a cover band that "becomes" the Rolling Stones on Dec 31, 31st and again tonight.

It's last minute but is anyone going to Tonight's show at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn? I may go late and by myself. Otherwise, anyone go to the shows the last two nights?

the one on roosevelt road?

I woulda been there if I could. Looking forward to hearing about the shows.
If they were as good as the last one, sha-zaaaaam!

Saw Bobby play with a Stones tribute band in Vegas years ago. I didn't realize he was still doing that. Must need the money.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

I also was planning on going myself tonight, but called Fitzgerald's around 5:00 and they were sold out. Would've been a great way to start the new year out

I spent my New Years Eve at the Tributosaurus show at Martyrs' club.
The band is a collective of excellent Chicago musicians who 'become' a different band each week. Over the New Years weekend they were the Stones, with Bobby Keys on sax. They played 4 sold out shows.
Bobby was in great form and the band was superb in recreating the Stones' music. To hear Brown Sugar live, as heard on the original recording, was a real treat, the intro especially. Although, the highlight for me was Memo From Turner. Dare I say, on a few tunes, Tributosaurus sounded better than the Stones.
Included in the set list were
Live with Me
Miss You
You Can't...
Brown Sugar
Rocks Off
Rip this Joint
Beast of Burden
Happy
Waiting on a Friend
Honky Tonk Woman
Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Satisfaction
Far Away Eyes
Paint It Black (with sitar)
Monkey Man
Memo from Turner
Jumpin' Jack Flash

3DTeafoe... thanks for posting! Tributosaurus is a great band.... saw them with Bobby Keys on Halloween 2009 at Fitzgeralds & they put on quite a good show.

Bobby he said he enjoyed playing with Tributosaurus because they are such incredible musicians, and not a "cover band".

3D, how come you weren't there last year with LQ and me, and wineaux (did we meet?) :-)

No, really, glad you got to go this year, on the special day...what a killer set list too!!

Next time, we should all go.

3D i'm glad you were there to represent us! thanks for the pics and the setlist! bobby's all clean cut!

i also heard fitzgerald's was sold out but thought i'd go to the 2nd set 'cos if enough people left after the first set, they'd let more people in. but i was by myself, sober (no weed), and it was a far drive....so just held on to my halloween 09 memories and went home...but i kept thinking "we'll see him soon enough with the real thing"

glad you all had a blast ... little queenie, could you maybe fix the spelling in the title of the thread,
since you seem to be on line? it's Keys ... thanks ...

We'll just have to act a little sooner next time & make sure to get tickets early! Angee, I don't recall meeting you or little queenie at Fitzgerald's, but then again, the drinks were flowing quite well that night! We were dressed as devils with sympathy cards glued to our costumes (get it? Sympathy for the Devil)! There were a lot of great costumes that night.

done, with sssoul! i've seen it written both ways and i assumed the correct one was the less obvious option!

I asked Bobby if we'll be seeing him on the road next year and he replied, "Don't be a bit surprised...".

Was it still 2010 when you asked the question?

It was 2011, but only by a few minutes. So time will tell exactly which 'year' he was refering to.

i'm glad to see he was willing to hang at the bar and talk to fans...the last couple of times i saw him at fitzgerald's, he rushed in and out of the green room only
