i recently saw the stones in k.c. on their ns tour and
had the pleasure of sitting on the 1st row, keef side,
with my wife, 7 year old son, brother and sister, and
a very close friend. my son is a stones fanatic. he
would rather watch stones videos than cartoons. anyway,
my son is a big keef fan so we made him a sign that said "little keef fan" for him to hold up. boy did that
get keefs attention. when he strutted out and lashed out the opening chords to jumpin'jack and saw the sign,
he grinned so wide and winked at my son right away. he
looked at my son, winked, and smiled at him the whole
show. we received a total of 4 guitar picks, 2 of them
brought out by a roadie from backstage. but the real
highlight was when the band returned from the b-stage,
we were obviously standing by the runway, keef saw my son, stopped, knelt down, kissed his hands and then
touched my sons head with both his hands, then shook
my sons hand with both of his. man, what a moment. an
experience my son and the rest of us will never forget.
oh, the show was killer as usual. sitting on row 1 is
the ultimate, especially at $90 (face value).
