Auction

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

That's some cool stuff there! I've got the room in one of the barns but there would have to be some investment value. I imagine some hog farmer might be able to find a use for that awesome pig prop. It will be interesting to see how they sell and to whom. I guess the upcoming Stones Exhibit in London didn't want the Babylonian woman.

Can't they use the pigster as a cell tower?

Some huge stuff here. I think my neighbors might complain if I put the Babylonian
Woman in my front yard. Maybe I could put a Santa hat on her at Chistmas though LoL

Auction

Totally cool, I wonder when and where the actual auction we be? I wonder who will be able to do something with these huge pieces, they are cool, but man, what do you do with them?

I saw one show about Hollywood collectables and this who guy goes around and buys up stuff from movies and then auctions them off, and one time he talked to a person who owned and wanted to sell the 50-100 foot long "prop" submarine from "The Hunt for Red October" and the guy who runs the show declined to deal with it, he said it was too big and thus would have a hard time finding many bidders.

Spealing of huge big things, I wonder what happend to the flaming cobra head from (I think) The Voodoo lounge tour, that was cool, actually it hot, we felt it several times directly below it as it breathed fire at the start of those shows.

anyway... if / when anyone sees these pieces actually go to auction please let us know.

i want the Pig!!!

Always loved the Bridges to Babylon stage...

Seems I read that Keith has the arching ramp which connected the B stage to the main Stage (Bridges to Babylon tour) in his garden.

Would be cool to have in the back yard.

These things will probably wind up in Vegas, in some sort of something or other, eh?

They are just so big. THEY ARE GINORMOUS!!

But it is great of the guy to let them see the light of day and be enjoyed.

Maybe the Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Baily circus will buy them and float them around the three rings as part of their traveling circus.
OR
It would be nice to own an airplane hanger and have these cool things set up around the hanger making it in to a big party room, man cave.

As of today no Stones related inflatable will be on sale.
But things might change, since the auction is scheduled on Sep 15 and viewing on Sep 9...

I thought Keith had part of the bridge in his yard in Connecticut?
