My brother and I snuck into a Rolling Stones Concert in Winnipeg in 1966, he went into the crowd and I hung around backstage. I saw this guy putting up equipment, and being a roadie with my own group in Montreal, I decided to help him, so I pitched in and we completed the hook ups and connections with the drum set in place, Ian Stewart was the one I helped, so he said stick with me and I'll introduce you to the Rolling Stones, so I did. In came a couple of Cadillacs and out popped the Rolling Stones, with Mick Jagger carrying a hanger filled with clothes, they went into the dressing room, and Ian invited me to join them, well there were some other guitar players from other groups that paid a visit, which meant their were now three guys named Randy in there, and Jagger said this place is getting a little too randy for me. I had to take a leak, so I went to the washroom, where prior to entering a number of RCMP officers stood guard like cheerleaders at a football game, once relieved, I went back out and the RCMP were still there, so I went back stage again and Ian Stewart motioned me over, and told me to help him on stage, so I stood behind Charlie Watts through the entire show. Periodically Jagger would jump up in the air and flip around and give me a wink. After the show, I shook hands with all of the Stones as they left the stage to their limousines in waiting. Ian Stewart asked if I'd like to join them for the after party, I had to say no thanks, as my family was waiting for me at my uncle's place. That was my experience with Ian Stewart a real nice man, who had a big enough heart to allow me to be apart of the Rolling Stones on stage for one wonderful, never to be forgotten evening. I will always be thankful and grateful to him for that kind gesture of his.
Very cool anecdote dude! The audience only sees the excitement aspect, but that backstage grunt work ... and camaraderie ... make it all possible. Great memory bud, thanks!
Back before security badges. The music was raw sometimes out of tune but the people were nicer, and ticket prices reasonably affordable. ALTAMONT made real secuity absolutely necessary.
I once met Ian Stewart at the 100 club whilst getting 6 packs of Marlborough cigarettes out of a machine and he was waiting for my purchase to end , he asked me if I was going to leave some for him ! I only realised who it was when I turned round and saw him face to face , I asked him if he was Ian Stewart and he said yes and so I said “ I really loved his music , he asked what I meant ! I replied “ the Rolling Stones “ he smiled and said that wasn’t his music. He was a regular guy and I’m proud to say I had the the chance to meet him . Rip Ian
The legendary Stu, here saluted by legendary bandmates, well done guys, there is a whole lot of history to the band and Stu was a very large part of that.
Was at a Stones concert in NYC on June 27, 1975 - the last of six nights at MSG. Somewhere near the end of the show, I think it was during "Jumping Jack Flash" or "Street Fighting Man" - their Lotus-Petal stage starts turning to reveal Stu, once hidden behind a white curtain - now in plain sight, greasy hair hanging down with both hands banging away on the keyboards. I'll never forget that beautiful sight.
No Stew no stones! The sixth stone.Great bogie piano player.Played piano on some Zeppelin songs, Bogie with Stew,Rock and Roll and a couple of more.RIP Stew
When they go to making a proper film about the Rolling Stones, it's going to have to be a mini series. The story about Ian Stewart agreeing to be a road manager and being a trusted element in the Stones story right up to 1985. The fact that he was also a sometime piano player on several tours and on several recordings is fantastic. He was always there. And when the Stones weren't touring he ran their Mobile Studio and it was his baby. So he ended up playing on Rock and Roll and Boogie with Stu with Led Zeppelin. Because he was already there and he had a particular style that many people loved and wanted on their recordings. A busy, eventful life. And absolutely no ego. If he had told the Stones to fuck off in 1963 he might have missed out on so much. And so would we.
Un gran corazón de este magnifico pianista ! un excelente ejemplo de q el ego podía ser observado y continuar en una banda que lo trato mal. Me admira la reacción de Ian Stewart al ser relegado y seguir participando en la banda. Un tremendo ser humano y pianista que tendría q buscarse material inédito y difundirlo.

"Ian was alot older than the others and he didn't fit in.... he didn't smoke or drank, he didn't live the lifestyle as they did.... he was a pianist/keyboardist and toured with them but was never a member officially but was still very much a Stone, he didn't get as rich as them but still he lived a good life and didn't live in a mansion like the others but still lived in a nice house he had a family and he took care of the Stone's as kind of an older brother."-🎤🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🥁🥁..
He & Brian formed the band Andrew loog Oldham had him kicked out and relegated to roadie because he didn't fit the image know your history or don't post what you don't know
He also played on other people’s stuff he practically came with the Stones mobile recording studio. When Zeppelin used it they recorded ‘Boogie with Stu ‘ cool guy boogie woogie bluesy piano player more of a jock than a rock n roller but caught up in the crazy world of the band. Been a fan since 1969 when I was 8 always loved Stu steadfast dedication and piano sounds.
Ian stewart ashes was spread in Scotland mick went up there years ago when they first started out he reckons it was th most beautiful place he'd ever seen in loved there rip Ian
Bill Wyman always said that Ian kept them humble, his announce for them to go on stage was, "Come on my little shower of shits it's time to go on!" LOL
Except that is not true. They were already in Brian's band. Brian found Mick and Keith becouse they replied to an add Brian put in the paper. It was Brian's band. Mick was jealous Brian got all the girls. Keith was friends with Brian early on. Ian was Brian's friend.
@@StanSwan No they were not. Indeed the Stones had a couple of other drummers play with them before Charlie joined. And Bill's many recollections of joining to the Stones make it clear that Mick, Keith and Brian were already playing together when he joined. This re-writing of history to suit the Brian Jones story is completely unacceptable.
@ RandyRocker Any memories of Brian Jones, on that day in 1966? Thank You For sharing that great day! To Me Ian Stewart & Brian Jones are Special because Ian, was the first to answer Brian Jones, ad in the paper when he was looking for musicians for his band. R.I.P. Brian, Ian, Charlie.✨🎼💫
Thanks Fife, I guessed if anyone knew it had to be you, low key event probably back then but I suppose they did do that 100 Club private gig in his memory a few months later in Oxford Street. It's that one album missing in my record collection I'd love to own it Boogie for Stu, seen it last year in Matt Lee's Stones Museum in London. Great sleeve art👍☘️

Ian was there on Rollin stones first acetate October 1962 you can't judge a book.
I wish they would have given Stu the opportunity to play solos like they give Chuck during Honky Tonk Women for example....it would have been great to hear.....
All I know is this, Right now,if you listen very carefully, Charlie Watts is jamming with Brian Jones on rhythm guitar and Ian Stewart on piano.It must sounds great.
i never knew he played guitar tho maybe I missunderstood i really love his piano style man. wish i knew him . seems pretty cool. It's funny how guys who do all the work in bands never want or get the credit....a day late and a dollar short.... it's nice the band remembers him so fondly tho
Here are Mick , Keith, Charlie, & from his own getting to know 'Stu' Ronnie ! , sharing clearly very heartfelt memories of their friend !! Somehow some mean spirited people here see this as an opportunity to be scornful of them for other reasons. Pathetic !
If you listen to "Stu speaks!" on You Tube, spoken by Mr. Ian Stewart himself, Stu gives credit to Brian Jones for being the founding member of the Rolling Stones. No disrespect meant to Mr. Ian Stewart whatsoever. IMO it's very simple, no matter how hard you try to change history ....... NO JONES / NO STONES!
@@kellykempkilroy I believe what Bill Wyman says. Brian formed the band having found Stu in Soho, London. In the Ealing club, Brian & Ian met and duly recruited Mick & Keith. Then Bill (for his equipment) and finally Charlie (for his talent). That's the true history. However, without M & K songwriting it would have ended by early 1965. Bill & Charlie have had a fabulous life on the back of M&K songwriting ability. Brian was damaged by the Stones experience, and I think Mick Taylor too. That's my supposition... BUT I was not there. PS Ian was not interested in fame and glamour - a down to earth Scotsman. Brian 100% was. Out of interest, my parents friend Stewart grew up in Cheltenham where Brian was a known figure before the Stones ever existed. Roughly the same age too.
@@ianharwell7500 agreed with your assessment on all points. Wonder what your parent friend thought of BJ? Always felt sorry for him, as I had for Pete Best.
@@kellykempkilroy Cheltenham was quite a small town then and Stewart simply said he was a known face in the pubs & dance halls of the town circa 1960-62ish. When I next see him I will enquire a bit deeper. Brian would have been eighty next Feb and Stewart is close to that now.
Thanks for posting Nordhoff Robbins Scotland, I am surprised and disappointed there's no mention on utube down the years of where he is laid to rest also curious did any of the band members attend his funeral?R.I.P Ian Stewart 12/12/85🎹🙏🇮🇪☘️
I don't think that's how it was. I think from Keith's perspective, he saw Stewart as the founder of the Stones, since Stewart was the who invited him and Mick to audition for the stones. So in his eyes, Stu is the founder, even if he is wrong. It's not him discrediting Brian's legacy. Plus, Keith always credits Brian as coming up with the name for the Rolling Stones.
@@matthewcassar1395 he’s wrong and he knows it. Brian formed the band and Mick and Keef joined. They’ve ruduced his legacy to “the blonde guy that died in a pool”. Mick and Keith are notorious for taking credit that doesn’t belong to them. They’ve stolen from their own band members and plenty of others.
Such BS from Mick and Keith regarding Stu having pulled the band together. BRIAN pulled the band together, and there is an interview with Stu posted here on YT where he confor this and that he joined Brians fledgling group. While I can understand Mick and Keiths resentment towards Brian for a variety of reasons, it is just wrong for then to deny his role in starting the band, managing it, getting them gigs, promoting them, serving as musical director and inspiration during the early days. Of course, as Stu also points out in his interview, Brian’s downfall was not being able to write songs, and resenting Mick for emerging as the front man and focal point the group., and then getting involved with drugs as a salve which ultimately led to his self destruction. m.ruclips.net/video/cNHg_rJrD8g/видео.html
According to several interviews I’ve seen on you tube with Bill Wyman it was Brian who started the Stones chose the name and music he auditioned Mick and Keef and then the rest of the band so this is a load of crap. Bill asked for a blue plaque put up by Gravesend Council to be taken down because it said Mick and Keef formed the band there
I get a kick out of MJ’s camera presence and articulate way of speaking. Ronnie is a sharp guy with personality too, but Keef and Chawlie have always seemed to care little for projecting enthusiasm or energy during interviews. Add Stu and dear old Bill to the mix, and the original lineup was mostly introverts. Wonderful little testament to Ian Stewart though!
My brother and I snuck into a Rolling Stones Concert in Winnipeg in 1966, he went into the crowd and I hung around backstage.

I had to take a leak, so I went to the washroom, where prior to entering a number of RCMP officers stood guard like cheerleaders at a football game, once relieved, I went back out and the RCMP were still there, so I went back stage again and Ian Stewart motioned me over, and told me to help him on stage, so I stood behind Charlie Watts through the entire show. Periodically Jagger would jump up in the air and flip around and give me a wink. After the show, I shook hands with all of the Stones as they left the stage to their limousines in waiting. Ian Stewart asked if I'd like to join them for the after party, I had to say no thanks, as my family was waiting for me at my uncle's place. That was my experience with Ian Stewart a real nice man, who had a big enough heart to allow me to be apart of the Rolling Stones on stage for one wonderful, never to be forgotten evening. I will always be thankful and grateful to him for that kind gesture of his.

The late 60's with Ian, Brian, Mick and Keith were just incredible. Great memories. Too bad they're not mine.
Love this tribute to Stu. Hadn't seen them live until after he passed sadly. Still, thank you RUclips for all the archives.
Stu had the van and I'd get a ride home from Ealing Jazz Club to Earl's Court - in the back with the boys and instruments. Nice chap.
Lovely tribute! Smiles say everything!
The greatest band of all time.
I have an 18 yr old nephew - Ian Stewart. This is awesome! Never knew my nephew was a legend.

I heae there is one in production now for FX,long mini series..maybe within next yr or 2 be released
I hope it will not be any movie or biopic on Rolling Stones, it could only be ridiculous and useless.
Stew was fired by the band's manager, but the Stones kept him on piano. Very lucky.

Such a nice tribute to Stu, one of my favourite Stones song is the cover of Little Queenie I would guess that the great boogie piano is Stu
You would be right if you meant the Ya-Ya’s version of Queenie.
When I think of Stu, my mind goes to Salt of the Earth! Great song, great Piano player.
Completely agree that Stu was a fantastic player! The piano on Salt Of The Earth is played by Nicky Hopkins, however.
He gave me my first guitar, the red bronco seen in the video "I know its only..."
Thanks Stu for 25 years of boogie-woogie.
stunning stones★
Who Could Ever Forget -- Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo , Let's go !! Led Zepplien's Great Boogie With Stu !!!!!!!!
Ian did an excellent job on that, though it's another wrongfully-taken Zeppelin credit--the song is really "Ooh, My Head" by Ritchie Valens
cool...thanks for posting

Except that Mick, Keith and Dick Taylor were playing in a teenager blues band before even meeting Stue and Brian.
@@Methilde not one called the Rolling Stones
I’m convinced that after WW3, the only ones to survive will be the cockroaches and Keith Richards. That guy’s an indestructible beast.
Aka the piano player they credit with forming the group instead of Brian.
Such BS from Mick and Keith regarding Stu having pulled the band together. BRIAN pulled the band together, and there is an interview with Stu posted here on YT where he confor this and that he joined Brians fledgling group. While I can understand Mick and Keiths resentment towards Brian for a variety of reasons, it is just wrong for then to deny his role in starting the band, managing it, getting them gigs, promoting them, serving as musical director and inspiration during the early days. Of course, as Stu also points out in his interview, Brian’s downfall was not being able to write songs, and resenting Mick for emerging as the front man and focal point the group., and then getting involved with drugs as a salve which ultimately led to his self destruction.

Was Keith Richards part in this interview recorded before or after his death...
in 4 months brian jones will have been gone for half a century
and you're the first one who noticed.
Incredible.
Not a word from Mick Taylor.
Because he isn't in the band anymore lmao
@@leviburris3744 the same for Bill.
@@Methilde No shit Sherlock
@@leviburris3744 During those interviews Bill was no more in the band since a long time.
According to several interviews I’ve seen on you tube with Bill Wyman it was Brian who started the Stones chose the name and music he auditioned Mick and Keef and then the rest of the band so this is a load of crap. Bill asked for a blue plaque put up by Gravesend Council to be taken down because it said Mick and Keef formed the band there
It's not a load of crap Ian AND Brian put the gears. In motion
I get a kick out of MJ’s camera presence and articulate way of speaking. Ronnie is a sharp guy with personality too, but Keef and Chawlie have always seemed to care little for projecting enthusiasm or energy during interviews. Add Stu and dear old Bill to the mix, and the original lineup was mostly introverts. Wonderful little testament to Ian Stewart though!
Still no honesty about Brian.
I mean regardless how great he was, he’s a bit of an obsessive dk that’s always looking to one-up his mates
I know cause I’m someone like that. Nothing short of a cautionary tale
____what about Brian ?
Brian Jones was the founder.
He turned into jay lenno
The so called "Glimmers" just can't stop with their incessant attempts to revise history. What they have become are fuckin' liars.
hail screwdriver
His teeth will live many a year when he pops off.
A book or movie should be created about Stu....
