Inception: San Diego, 2012

Influences: The Rolling Stones

Background:

The Ultimate Stones includes several members of Rolling the Stones, a Rolling Stones tribute band who won the 2009 Ultimate Music Challenge at Viejas Casino. “Every member of the band takes a keen interest in playing their part,” says bandleader Mick Adams (aka Mick Jagged). Vince Lupo (as Charlie Swatts) drums to the beat, Bernie Yantz (Bill Why-man) is a dead ringer for his bassist counterpart, and the band features up to a total of nine performers.

Says the band, “We present the very best in performance and stage production values: the great Jagger and Richards songs that we all know and love, done completely live, without any sweetener tracks or audio trickery.”
