Nice! I'd seen one or two of those photos before, and part of the story, but it's great to see/read more.

It would be cool to find out what happened to those guitars they played. Probably scooped up by employees...the played by Keith Richards aspect, along with the photos to prove it certainly would have added some value!

Looks like they've been up for days, I'm guessing this was very shortly after their Arkansas bust...Freddie Sessler was probably very nearby.

Well actually only Keith looks wasted. Ron looks a little bit dorky. There was an in between period where he wans't wearing his swanky Faces clothes anymore, but hadn't stocked up on real Stones coolness yet.

I love the contrast between these two rock stars and the Gibson employees with regular clothes and glasses.

Haha, yes!
It also reminds me of this photo, of Aerosmith's Joe Perry meeting his old 60s bandmates at his own 50th birthday party. Can you tell who's the rock star?

Boys and girls, watch and absorb. Just not too close, you'll end up on rehab.
