In October, while the Rolling Stones played a two-night stand at Foxboro Stadium as part of their Bridges to Babylon tour, Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell and bassist Darryl Jones visited Berklee on consecutive days. Students gathered in the Berklee Performance Center for both clinics, asking questions about the artists' careers and, of course, life with the Stones. Leavell has toured with the Stones on their Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge and Bridges to Babylon tours. Leavell answered students' questions and played and sang two songs, "Georgia" and "Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out." One point he emphasized with students is that musicians who pursue their true musical goals will eventually find success. During the 1970s, Leavell played with the Allman Brothers until their 1976 breakup. Recently, he has played with Eric Clapton, The Black Crowes, George Harrison and Blues Traveler.

Trumpeter Nicholas Payton paid a visit to Berklee on Halloween, on the same day he was performing at Regattabar, in Cambridge. Students filled the Lawrence and Alma Berk Recital Hall to capacity during the two-hour question-and-answer session. At one point, he invited student trumpeter Jeremy Pelt on stage with him to perform.
