July 26,1978 Oakland Coliseum. Mick's birthday. I was 15. Opening acts were Santana,Eddie Money and Peter Tosh. There was a 2 hour wait in between Santana and the Stones coming on. I remember it like it was yesterday...In fact,the setlist could have been done yesterday. Considering how little it's changed in 30 years.

Let it Rock
All Down the Line
Honky Tonk Women
Star Star
When the Whip Comes Down
Beast of Burden
Lies
Miss You
Just My Imagination
Shattered
Respectable
Far Away Eyes
Love in Vain
Tumbling Dice
Happy
Sweet Little Sixteen
Brown Sugar
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Satisfaction

I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why

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...

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.

I would like to nuzzle you. I think they did some crazy sh-t during Love Is Strong, like huge blow-up women? I don't think I knew who Jack was back then, but that musta been pretty cool. I'm guessing you saw the '05 show @ MCI Center too? Another good one.

Even though I loved the Stones since '64, I didn't actually see them live until 1989, though I did see The New Barbarians in '79. My first Stones show was at Shea Stadium in New York, October 26, 1989, and the setlist (thanks to Gazza's RO setlist pages) was:

Start Me Up
Bitch
Sad Sad Sad
Undercover
Harlem Shuffle
Tumbling Dice
Miss You
Ruby Tuesday
Play With Fire
Dead Flowers
Rock And A Hard Place
Mixed Emotions
Honky Tonk Woman
Midnight Rambler
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Can't Be Seen
Happy
Paint It Black
2000 Light Years From Home
Sympathy For The Devil
Gimme Shelter
It's Only Rock'n'Roll
Brown Sugar
Satisfaction
Jumping Jack Flash

My favorite shows were the three nights at MSG in January, 1998 during the Bridges To Babylon tour though. I can still see those headlights coming down and hear the hydraulics of that huge bridge going out to the B-stage. Outstanding!

Yes, the blow up honky tonk women were HOT HOT HOT. VL was one of my favorite tours!! I also saw them at Fex Ex Field in around 1997 and also 2002 (the Stokes opened!). I saw them at MCI in 2005, and in Baltimore in 2006.

I got that '02 show @ FedEx (parking lot was hell afterwards), '05 @ MCI of course, and AC in Oct. 06. Not sure what happened for Bridges/No Security, I think I went through a bit of a rap phase then (I was in middle school, you see).

I'm sure we were all satisfied with the first shows we saw. I know I was! We couldn't compare them to Ladies & Gents, which we've seen dozens of times, or those great boots from '78, or the thousands of 'paper shows' for which we've just seen setlists.

The Stones only had one single out by that time, and tours back then were package tours with multiple acts on the bill. This show would have been towards the end of their first ever national tour, when they appeared down the bill below The Everly Brothers, Bo Diddley and Little Richard.

I'd be interested to know whether SnK went specifically to see the Stones or the headline acts - or did he just discover them having seen them at this gig?

The 'Melody Maker' glowingly reviewed the opening 2 shows of the tour from Philadelphia. Reading the comments, I was excited enough to make an immediate mental note to catch the Stones when they toured Europe next year at all costs.

They didnt like Journey though, as I recall, and said that "Steve Perry sang like a mortally wounded dog".....

That is just an AMAZING list of concerts for 1963! I know they played a LOT, but just scrollig down and down and DOWN....you really learn your "chops" when you play that much. How exciting it would have been to have seen the shows back then!

take a look at the lists for 1964 and 1965, though as well, Sioux. I think in 1964 they played something like 322 shows or thereabouts. Astonishing. They played about 850 shows from 1963-65.

To get some perspective. The Stones' 2,000th concert took place in August 2006. Their 1,000th occurred as far back as April 1967.

Even the entire period Mick Taylor was in the band, they played just 172 shows. Nowadays a world tour lasts almost as many shows as that.

I've ssen a lot of AWESOME shows at MCI (including Page/Plant). Did you catch Page with the Black Crowes at Nissan (around 2002)? That was just fucking KILLER. One of my top 3 shows ever. You rock!

Yep, I've seen those years---'64, '65, Gazza......they had to have been the most active band in Britain at the time! I can't imagine any other group playing that many gigs. Imagine how many more there would have been if they had toured in '68 and up to mid '69...

I think the most exciting place on earth, in 1963, had to be Britain. In the U.S., musically, things were still pretty bleak. We did have a few redeeming aspects---Phil Spector's girl groups, Gene Pitney, Del Shannon, Dion, early Motown....but, for the most part, our music had stagnated and I was wondering who in the WORLD was listening to Bobby Vinton {Certainly not me! Certainly not my parents!}. But, by the end of '64, the tides were stirring with the rumble of what what happening across the pond. And boy, 1964 was the beginning of it ALL for us over here!

Ahh, I was a bit of a 'late bloomer' for non-Stones music, so I was only about 13 or 14 (00-01) when TBC and Page toured together. My fav. DC area venues are MCI/Verizon and the 9:30; for B-more I like Ram's Head Live. Ram's Head Annapolis is real nice for the smaller acts, too.

Well......I was talking 1963.....Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent....even Dion, actually.....some were dead, some not recording much. It was the end of one age and we were in anticipation of another. Elvis had a couple of good songs in the early 60's {Little Sister, especially}, but not a whole lot else. He was starting to be known for his movie songs, some of which were fairly forgettable by then...

1989- Atlanta- Ga. Tech-
They sold out quick and the day of the concert as I was tooling around in my 78 Honda 96 Rock announced tickets available at Turtles, so I cruise up to Akers Mill and buy 1 seat and get downtown at 2pm. I hang out the whole day and check out the scene and then when I get to my seat I am right of the stage as far up and away as possible with my back against the wall. It was very cold that day. I had my binoculaurs and could see the group and what was going on as they were coming on stage. I saw Keith light something and smoke it and it was passed around to a few people and then shortly after the show started, I warmed up pronto! Living Colour opened.

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)

"Si, si, je suis un rock star," by Bill, played in 1982?

Definitely not! Boring post

Yep, I've seen those years---'64, '65, Gazza......they had to have been the most active band in Britain at the time! I can't imagine any other group playing that many gigs. Imagine how many more there would have been if they had toured in '68 and up to mid '69...

I think the most exciting place on earth, in 1963, had to be Britain. In the U.S., musically, things were still pretty bleak. We did have a few redeeming aspects---Phil Spector's girl groups, Gene Pitney, Del Shannon, Dion, early Motown....but, for the most part, our music had stagnated and I was wondering who in the WORLD was listening to Bobby Vinton {Certainly not me! Certainly not my parents!}. But, by the end of '64, the tides were stirring with the rumble of what what happening across the pond. And boy, 1964 was the beginning of it ALL for us over here!

WHAT? no Elvis sioux?
