I was seated in the LAST row of the "oranges" ie top row of the house.
Didn't see too much of the crowd but boy did I get a "contact high" from all of that smoke drifting my way.

Don't remember the heat in the Aud; Mick made me hot enough until that Cockdance with Billy.
This very innocent girl was a tad thrown by that AND the giant penis that popped out of the stage. Shocked

LMAO thinking about it.

Yes. We originally had seats towards the end of the floor, but our section was eliminated in the final stage set-up. We got third row instead!

82 AND 90 I kind of knew the set list from boots as it rarely changed. Although Chantille Lace and Angie weren't expected and Factory Girl at Manchester 90 was a suprise.

My 1st genuine shock was Connection,Like a Rolling Stone and Slipping away Sheffield 9/7/95 - pre internet

also All about you 1999

The Licks tour - The excellent Glasgow set lists and Salt of the Earth Twick 20/9/03

Yes. We originally had seats towards the end of the floor, but our section was eliminated in the final stage set-up. We got third row instead!

Wow! My Holy Shit moment was very similar to yours Jizzy. I had tickets to the 1981 show in Atlanta at the Fox Theater. This show is still considered one of the best Stones' shows ever, and I was lucky enough to get a ticket through a friend of a friend.

Anyway when we arrived at our seats and they were covered up by the sound board! The usher had all of us wait at the top of the aisle, and then she marched us all down to the 6th,7th, and 8th rows! I got front and center on the 6th row, and to this day I have never seen the Stones so on fire as they were that night. Even Keith has talked about that show as one that he really felt that the band was cooking, and boy were they. I've never been the same since!

Stones fans are kind of like junkies in that respect. We keep on trying to chase that same buzz that we had the first time. I have tried to get that buzz dozens of times since that October night in 1981, and while I have never gotten the same high that I got that night, they have all been beautiful buzzes.

Question for LJ or Gimmekeef or anyone else at the 75 Aud show. I seem to recall the flat lotus and Mick popping up through the hole in the stage during HTW, but my memory is very hazy and I was a bit medicated at the time. He was definitely wearing the striped white PJs with a leather jacket and it remains to this day the best show I have ever seen including the Toronto show and Rich Stadium the same year. The 'Ooo is December are a close second.

Are there records as to which stage was in which city or any Buffalo photos?

First time I seen The Stones, I was at the first show, looking back now it seemed like such a long time ago, it was so hot that night, Mick threw buckets of water into the crowd, it was chaos, people rushing the stage, chicks sitting on guys shoulders, I got 4 grey seats & sold them for a ground floor, $35 which was a lot in those days ('72) I still got the ticket stub, I posted on here several times.

JJ, that's how I remember it and I was NOT medicated AT ALL.
I DO remember the PJ's and leather jacket though!!!

I may have it confused with one of the other 75 shows, perhaps one of the Toronto shows. In any case it certainly made one helluva impression and hooked me for life. ADTL got my heart going like the Comet rollercoaster at Crystal Beach, LOL!

Thinking about Buffalo, this reminded me of why I moved to California in 79.
