Well the Rolling Stones

came and went without playing a note in Australia, but 40 year member Bobby Keys stayed here with his saxophone and his band The Suffering Bastards.
Bobby Keys has played and recorded with some big stars including Elvis Presley, Dion, Lennon, Clapton, Cocker, The Who........
Went to see him last night at the (very small, very old) Northcote Theatre in Melbourne. The Suffering Bastards are Dan Baird on vocals/guitar (Georgia Satellites), Chark Kinsolving on guitar (Spoonful), Michael Webb on keyboards (John Fogarty), Robert Kearns on bass (Lynard Skynard), Brad Pemberton on drums (Ryan Adams) and of course Bobby Keys on sax.
Was a great night, got to meet him after the show and had a brief chat about fun in France 1973 recording Exile on Main Street. He'd certainly been on the turps during the gig!
I'm a happy chap.

Photofucket won't let me add video over 10 min in length so I can't show you a ripping version of Can't You Hear Me Knocking, but here's a great Lennon track.
