First time was on AM radio in '64.
First concert was this one in '72.

what is this GG G row thing all about on your ticket?

Are you fucking serious?

it's a ground floor row section as far as I know, never took no pass on that, this is a Maple Leaf Gardens ticket stub, so whatever they had back then in '72.

maybe gazza will know

Shit!

Maybe Row GG (ie row 32) in Block G ?

how does 32 come about? G is the 7th letter in the alphebet and if you double it it becomes 14 so, that would put him in the 14th row., in blcok G............no?

Shit!

I walked a mile to the store to buy this album when it first came out, and every day after school I would play it over and over and unzip the zipper on the album cover for hours fantasizing about how MICK would be my 'first'. For decades I thought that was MICK in the tighty-whities, and a few years ago I found out it was Andy Worhol's protege! MICK has been my fantasy man ever since I was a daydreaming virgin. I still love MICK more than any other man, always have, always will. MICK is always around when I need a hand! MIIICCKKKKK!MICKKKKKKKKK!!MMICCCCCCCCKKK!!!!!!!!! Oh MICK!! OH MICK! Oh! Oh! Yes! Yes! MICK You Sexy Devil!!!!!!!!!

I guess maybe that's what it was, G could stand for ground floor, Maple Leaf Gardens normally has Hockey games, & this section is where the ice is, but certainly not on that very hot July evening, it was unbelievable hot! it doesn't matter anyway, nobody stayed in their seats, everybody rushed the stage, it really was chaos, I got 4 grey seats which I sold for a ground floor seat, $35, which was a lot of money in those days, & the people I sold it too had a better view then I did, because they stayed in their seats like everybody else & just watched the concert, instead of being pushed here & there, & girls on top of guys shoulders, couldn't see that much really & it being a ground floor seat but it was a fantastic concert.

Heart of Stone;

You have the stub from possibly the best ever Stones tour. You were there.
While it is certainly good of you to provide such invaluable insight towards the
seat location, you have traveled beyond the pale in such discovery. Sit back,
enjoy the libation of your choice, place L & G on your preferred listening device,
return to those thrilling days of Summer 1972. I was fortunate to have shared
in the sonic symphony which was The Rolling Stones North American Tour '72, at the
Bahstun Gahden 19 July. Quite possibly the most thrilling aural event I've witnessed.

Thank you for your continued support & cooperation in the betterment of Rolling
Stones fans worldwide. This is a fraternity unchallenged in the music galaxy.

Sorry, bad maths - it would be row 33

Rows 1-26 would be A-Z, then row 27 would be AA, then BB, CC and so on. Thats how it normally works.

I recall a TV album, like from RAAMCO......Like "Their Greatest Hits" or something like that...w/bad footage, mistimed/ overdubbed footage...that was my first exposure that i can recall...

My big sister gave me LET IT BLEED for my birthday when i was in 7th grade, 1977...because i was studying the French Horn and she was showing me the into to "YCAGWYW"...she is still proud that she gave me my first RS LP...still have it, BTW...(this record should be PLAYED LOUD)

My first show...1978 at the Capitol theatre in Passaic, NJ...my cousins lived 2 blocks from the theatre...and had a HUGE space next to their house...they always got paid to let the tour buses park on their property...I can't recall the circumstances, but i got 2 tickets out of it...I think we were visiting them that nite or weekend...i was in 8th grade...I don't really recall anything except the lights and KNOWING I have discovered a NEW WORLD of a sorts...MY FIRST CONCERT!!!
