I got to see Zeppelin live, never the Stones for some reason.

Have a blast, hoist a cold one to Charlie for me...

Will do, pf.  It won't be the same without Charlie, but Steve Jordan will be a great fill-in.  He's played with Keith and Ronnie for decades on side gigs, and he was a very good friend of Charlie's as well.We're going to have a great time.  My buddy I grew up with that lives in Golden Valley now is having a pre and post concert party and there's a bunch of us staying over at his place.  It's going to be a great time no matter how the band plays.   Another buddy said he's bringing his old turntable to the party along with 90 lbs of Stones albums.  B)

Ha, I agree!  I have a feeling there might be more than one Steve Jordan.  The guy playing with the Stones was Paul Schaffer’s drummer on the Letterman show.  Really gifted dude (not very gifted football player).

How do you know,  have you seen him play football?

Just a hunch, Jimmy.  He does love the Yankees, but I dont' think he really gave two sheets about playing sports.  Here's a very cool and funny snippet from this Stteve Jordan interview:
I collected records from a very, very early age. The
culture I grew up with, it was music all the time. My dad was listening
to Miles Davis. My mom listened to all types of music. And they were
always supportive of music. I started collecting records, like, three
years old? My parents got me a record rack. And if I was good, they
would get me a 45 and I would make my own charts up. “This is the number
one record this week!” I just loved records. I started DJ-ing for the
adults—my parents, my aunts and uncles. And then I DJ-ed for my
classmates on school trips. I had a Panasonic battery-operated portable
record player that I would carry around. That I still have! So records
are everything to me. The first album I ever got was Henry Mancini's Peter Gunn.
The sound of that record is something that’s indelible. And I was a big
Chubby Checker fan and got all of his records—“The Twist,” “Let’s Twist
Again,” “The Fly,” all of that stuff. And then of course I got all
Motown, all Stax, Atlantic, and all things James Brown.
Dare I ask, how about the Beatles?
I was a complete Beatle fanatic! When I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan
[in 1964], it changed my life. Many times in class I was drawing the
Beatles onstage and not doing my schoolwork. I’d just be drawing the
Beatles logo and Ringo behind the kit and stuff like that. So I’m
growing up listening to Ringo Starr in my right ear and Tony Williams in
my left ear!
How do the Stones feel about your unabashed Beatlemania?
Well,
you know, as a kid you had to make the choice: You couldn’t be a
Beatles fan and a Stones fan. You were forced to make a choice. That’s
how it was then. So I chose the Beatles. And for the longest time when I
started working with Keith, I couldn’t have him over to my apartment,
because it was like a Beatles museum! Which I guess was a little
strange—like, I’m in my twenties [at the time] so maybe I should be
growing up a little bit! And we’re working right around the block,
literally. One day I finally say, “Okay,” and Keith comes over. He comes
in, and he looks, and he just starts laughing. The next day, he sends
me four Beatle figurines, like the kind you get in those novelty stores
in Times Square!

Of course, we now know
that the Stones and Beatles were pals. Keith and John Lennon had an
interesting friendship, which Keith wrote about it in his memoir,
Life.
Yeah.
I’ve picked Keith’s brain about his relationship with John. And he
would describe stories to me of him with John. And he would describe
them vividly. Of which I felt: that’s as close to John as I was ever
going to get.

You're probably right about him sucking at football,  he was a beetles fan,  most likely would gotten his ass kicked on a gridiron
