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!!

September 22, 1994. Veterans Stadium Philadelphia. My first Stones show opened with a Buddy Holly tune. Life has been different since that night.

Long live the magic of the Rolling Stones!

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.

Toronto Sept 89 Steel Wheels tour

flew 1/2 way around the world see em.

Denied a ticket to see the Stones? Now that's low-down!  

September 1998, Athens. I used to really, really hate the  Stones before that gig 
I remember entering the stadium and thinking the stage looked like a spaceship.
And then Keith Richards converted me.

October , 1989  -- Cyclone Stadium : Ames , IA  .

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.

1975 Tour of the Americas, Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, June 15, 1975.

I was 2 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear!!!!
Really!!!!!!!!!!
Why would I lie???? 


LJ.

Or maybe this one, LJ?...

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 there too as that was my first ever show. Then out for beers and back inside for the 9 pm show too...twice in one day....Still cant hear properly!..Love that ticket stub!!!!

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!!

Thanks, Lefty! I thought that was the case.

It is.

Yep - think Steve has won the battle of the earliest attendance of a Rocks Off'er at a Stones gig! 

My first show: Sept '02, Giants Stadium, New Jersey

fuman wrote on Apr 11^th, 2009 at 2:57pm:


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.

They didnt, but they DID play it at the opening VL show in the same stadium five years later. Maybe thats the one you were thinking of?

Keith, Ron, Ian MacLagan, Willie Weeks and Andy Newmark - 'Sure The One You Need' (1974)

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.

Oh I dunno, I see LJ living more like this in her "old" age:



After all, LJ, ya know what they say:

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!

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".....

Gazza wrote on Apr 12^th, 2009 at 10:11am:


Thanks gazza they probsbly played for 20 minutes.....i woner what the setlist was?

Gazza wrote on Apr 12^th, 2009 at 10:23am:




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!

Throwaway wrote on Apr 12^th, 2009 at 9:40am:


Actually, I think the 1994 VL tour and the 1997-1998 tour (also MCI) were my favorite Stones shows. 

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.

Factory Girl wrote on Apr 12^th, 2009 at 5:25pm:



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.

Elvis didnt tour between 1957 and 1970

This was my first:

Buffalo Sept 81

Wonder what they odds are that three of us could be at that show NOT knowing one another and end up HERE as major partners in crime nearly 30 years later???
