Your first Rolling Stones Gig !!
Apr 10^th, 2009 at 3:16pm

1976-06-13 - Nice

It was my first Stones concert, i remembered staring looking at keith Richards , he was looking unreel with he's white face , whoah! he looks incredible , he was really untouchable and so fragile
Jagger appears in the afternoon looking at people , i saw him behind the stage , and when he appears with his umbrella i was a little bit disapointed but anyway , it was my first Stones Gig and of course what a hell !!
I remembered , i sleep behind the railway station because i can't do anymore , i was 18 years old !!
thanks again to remembered this great night !!!!

Just listen to this one again great performance !!

Even 33 years ago i got this incredible vision of Keith playing Honky Tonk , i have no words to discribe my feelings , cause i wait from around around Ep to Black and Blue to see my first Stones gig and whoaw !!
It was one of my best days during my life !

Here is the link , enjoy and play it loud!!

i believe my first show was in buffalo in the very early eighties. all the seats were first come first served deal, but the floors were seating and reserved. there were 4 enterances to the building...all long line ups. it was summertime and it was hot and i saw this guy down a sixer of schlitz beer and then about a half hour later he puked the whole lot up. gross.

Edith,
I was at the July 13, 1978 Superdome concert too...remember the Stones were hours late for some reason, didn't come on until 11:30p.m.! My first Stones show was May 7, 1965 in Clearwater, Florida...the same night Keith woke up in the middle of the night and recorded the opening riff to Satisfaction...if he hadn't done that we may not still be talking about them to this day!

1981, Tour Opener in Philly. George Thorogood, Journey (who bragged about having that week's #1 album which elicited prompt boos!)& then the Stones. I wanted the hitz but luckily, I got some true rarities. I can still remember vividly YCAGWYW & let It Bleed & Tops. And the insane cherry picker over the crowd. The show started during late afternoon.

Dude, I was there too, and was also 16! Which night did you catch? I have a good recording of the one I saw (third night, the 9th) I'm happy to share with you. Send me a PM. There was a shooting in the parking lot second night, so I was extremely happy my parents did not watch TV news.

I was SUPPOSED to have been at that show. But, my best friend was mad at me, and didn't get me a ticket.

He did get me a ticket to see Bruce in 1981 At Capital Centre, in Largo MD (the River tour). But, honestly, I would have preferred to have seen the Stones. Who stole this one? (Seriously)

I came to the concert scene relatively late in life. Life's circumstances kept me from seeing my favorite bands until basically I got the courage to change all that and the circumstances too. Wink

So my first gig was Bridges to Babylon Tour at the OSU Horseshoe Sept 27, 1997. Distinctly remember Gimme Shelter and Let it Bleed from that concert.

So in a relatively short time span, I have been trying to make up for all I missed in my "youth"...

Date: 8/1/94
Venue: R.F.K. Stadium - Washington, DC
Setlist:
Not Fade Away
Undercover Of The Night
Tumbling Dice
Live With Me
You Got Me Rockin'
Shattered
Rocks Off
Sparks Will Fly
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Beast Of Burden
Out Of Tears
Memory Motel
Can't Get Next To You
All Down The Line
Hot Stuff
Brand New Car
Love Is Strong
I Go Wild
Honky Tonk Woman
Before They Make Me Run
The Worst
Monkey Man
Street Fighting Man
Start Me Up
It's Only Rock'n Roll (But I Like It)
Brown Sugar
Jumpin' Jack Flash

I was 7 years old, and I remember the HUGE stage and the props duing SFM. During Out of Tears, many held out their lighters, it was quite special. I thought "The Worst" kind of sucked, but other than that I dug every song. I was way too young, and the term "warhorse" had not come into existence yet, so I was quite thrilled to hear them all, even Start Me Up. I probably didn't realize it was the first US date for the tour, but I do remember the Voodoo Lounge cassette (and CD, for when we rode in my dad's car) getting heavy play. I was allowed to use the word "cunt" only when singing I Go Wild, but that was it.
