Who says you can't put a price on dignity. I guess Mick hasn't heard himself sing lately..Without the dubbing and recording studio he sounds horrible!!

Have you seen the Stones live? Not a thing wrong with Mick's voice, live shows are raw and no one can possess a stage like he does.Along with Keith, the ultimate rock star,riffing away like the legend he is, it would be worth every penny!
As for NSYNC, and J-Lo?Hello? There's your studio mixing!

I'm confused about George Michael....3.3 million?! Is he serious? I wouldn't go to a free concert preformed by him!

If I had $7 million I would have them play for my husband. He has been a Rolling Stones fan for a very very long time. This would be the "BEST GIFT" I could ever give him to meet the Rolling Stones. Maybe someday this dream will come true! Even if we don't have $7 million dollars I would just love for him to be able to just meet Mick,Keith,Ron, Charlie and the Band backstage.

It would be worth the 7 million just to ask Keith how he has managed to survive so long doing so many drugs. Amazing!

WORTH EVERY RED CENT!!! If I had that kind of money, you bet your ass I'd pay the Rolling-f******-Stones to play for me! A once in a lifetime (if you're lucky) deal.

seven million dollars? Honestly think about how many Hurricane Katrina victims could have been rescued from those infested trailer homes. This is as bad as the evil b@#$% who left twelve million dollars to her dog. May you both rot in hell. I'm hoping the rolling stones gave something to charity, and hopefully not the nearest street pharmacist.
