Satisfaction has been together for ten years since this years’ tour, according to Chris LeGrand, who is the executive producer of the show. The international show performs roughly 125 to 150 shows a year. Satisfaction also sponsors and performs, when possible, for the [[@http://www.ucp.org/|United

Cerebral Palsy foundation]]. LeGrand, “I have a daughter who is afflicted by cerebral palsy.”

There are five members in the show. Chris LeGrand (Mick Jagger), Jim Riddick (Keith Richards), Charles Trador (Ron Wood), Tony Fortuna (Bill Wyman), and Carl Bass (Charlie Watts). Each show member is a “professional musician with at least twenty years experience,” says LeGrand. According to the Electronic Press Kit (EPK), the show has a total of fifty-three songs on its set list. Some of these songs include “Satisfaction,” “Paint It Black,” “Start Me Up,” and “Shattered.” From most of the cast members you may get different answers, but LeGrand admits that his personal favorites are “Jumping Jack Flash” and “Satisfaction.” He goes to say that in 1965 when the song “Satisfaction” hit the radio, “no one had ever heard such a powerful song with somewhat controversial lyrics… it changed the course of rock music… to something slightly darker.” Most of the shows Satisfaction performs are ticketed theaters and concert venues. Many of the casino shows they perform however are free, as well as most fairs and festivals. LeGrand explained that the show isn’t always free, “this is a business so we certainly have to generate revenue.”

The show will be returning to Hollywood Slots again on Saturday, July 24.
