9/26/81 - JFK Stadium in Philly.

Thorogood wasn't bad, slept through Journey, then waited an eternity for the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band - they did not disappoint.

Plenty of hits, Tattoo You, and nuggets like 'Down The Road Apiece', 'Mona' and 'Twenty Flight Rock'.

Still a true believer all these years later...

June 6, 1975
Arrowhead Stadium
Kansas City

Besides making me a lifelong fan of our band,
this show was notable because they played
"Sure the One You Need", one of Ronnie's
solo numbers. I think that only happened
one other time. Perhaps the mighty Gazza
can confirm that.

What a wonderful band. What amazing
memories they have given me. What true
friends they have brought into my life.

Oh, and like LJ, I think I must have been
a toddler at my first show!!

I'm pretty sure that "Sure The One You Need" is a Jagger/Richards composition.

It was, but it was only released on a Ronnie solo album.

To this day it remains the only solo release played at a Stones concert (although technically you could argue that it was a cover version as Ronnie wasn't a Stone during the 1975 tour)

They did play "You Gotta Walk (Dont Look Back)" at one of the Licks club shows (Chicago, I think) but Jagger only guested on Peter Tosh's cover version. It's not credited as a solo record.

SV got to see a couple of pretty unusual moments in her Stones KC shows in 1975 and 1981. 'Sure the one you need' at the first one, and then the one-off guest appearance by Mick Taylor at the show six years later.

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.

Hloy Freaking Jesus!!! I was at that show also, and the show on 8/3/94. 8/1/94 was the VL Tour show opener, and Jack Nicholson was in attendance.
