That's Life (as a Rolling Stone)

 

The Rolling Stones' Tour of the Americas '75 was the Stones first tour with new guitarist Ronnie Wood, far left. Musician Billy Preston, 2nd from left, joined Mick Jagger and Keith Richards onstage as the tour officially began on 3 June 1975 at the Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. Billy Preston, born in Houston, ascended from the gospel circuit to a career playing with many other musicians including both the Stones and the Beatles, where he was referred to as a "Fifth Beatle". Woody signed this print when photographer F. Carter Smith caught up with the boys after a 1981 Astrodome performance, in the Hyatt Regency first floor men's bathroom. Wood inscribed his name followed by "Trousers must be worn" referring to his cowboy chaps. Smith first met him on the island of Ibiza as he vacationed during his stint with Small Faces in 1972.
