I just realized it's almost twenty years since I saw the Rolling Stones |
|
And that was on a "comeback" tour I think.
It was a great show at the, even then, decrepit Legion Field, in Birmingham.
But what I'm posting about is that I can't believe that was twenty years ago.

5. I just asked her - she has seen them twice - once in '68 and once in '88. |
|
she says she remembers the second concert much better - she wasn't wasted for that one....
:hippie:

7. Were they mainstream then? |
|
I saw them at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans before they were "known". I remember thinking how they could go big, but I don't remember the year.

6. Almost 31 years for me. |
|
Detroit Masonic Temple, July 6, 1978, smaller unannounced concert on the Some Girls tour, tickets all cost $10 apiece. Great, great show. The theater has 4400 seats, compared to the stadiums they were also playing on that tour.

9. Ditto, probably a few days before or a few days after |
|
as it was the Steel Wheels tour and I saw them in Clemson. Did Living Colour open? Was there a giant inflatable Honky Tonk Woman?

11. Yeah, Living Colour was great |
|
I missed most of their set though because of the crazily long lines to get beer. ;)
