Thanks Gazza!!!

Where exactly are these clips posted? I found some on Stonesnews.com and YouTube... I would love to have a complete listing of tracks available and personnel involved.

OK, while I'm on the subject of a wish list, how about a new album and a tour? Thank you very kindly indeed!

I heard more about the Boogie 4 Stu sessions yesterday as Ben Waters was discussing it at the bar with a friend of his.

The basic tracks were cut in two days, with Charlie and Dave Green. Ronnie's overdubs were already planned and happened a bit later. Only then Mick, Keith and Bill were asked if they wanted to be involved and they all overdubbed their parts separately.

I also learnt yesterday that sadly the Ambassador's shows were not recorded.

Not recorded??!!! F*+ºck!!! i was really expecting those tapes...

I was really surprised but Axel's wife (I think, she was selling the CDs) said so when I asked about a possible release.

I'm almost more interested in your story than the story Gwen!

Were you at a table with Ben Waters, or were you 'nearby' and casually 'listening in' on the conversation? Either way, good on ya!

Well the New Morning is a small place and most people leave the rest of the band alone... So before the second show Ben Waters was having a beer at the venue's bar with his friend and I was nearby, waiting to say hi. But the story was interesting so I didn't dare interrupt.
