Sly Stone beats odds and shows up for Vegas show

Posted April 10th, 2007 by eric

On March 31, 2007, Sly Stone actually showed up at the Flamingo in Las Vegas and played a 30 minute set. This is news for two reasons: 1. Sly Stone rarely shows up for scheduled concerts; 2. Vegas bookmakers had it as a longshot with odds at 45-1.

And then, according to comedien George Wallace, who booked and presented the show, Stone “went down the center aisle and thanked everybody.” So, yep, still crazy.
