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?


JJ/LJ there was only one stage to my knowledge back then. I too was medicated  heavily and so busy angling during HTW for a better standing position (seats ffs:) that i can't recall Mick's entry point. Man what memories...long before the internet and summits. We need to this one more time as a team!

The water bottle was indeed used. He had a drink and squirted/threw it into the crowd. It arced beautifully, coming right for me. I still have it. I've just been too lazy to get it mounted.

There have been so many. Literally, every time I've ever seen them they make me say "Holy shit!"  Offhand, I'd have to say seeing them do "Memory Motel" and "Little Red Rooster" at MSG on the Bridges To Babylon tour.
Then, during "Rambler" and "Worried About You" at the first MSG show on the Bigger Bang tour.
But seeing Keith do "You've Got The Silver" was a dream come true. And I got to see it several times during Bigger Bang. I never thought I'd see them do that one. There were also moments in Lisbon, Madrid, and Atlantic City that took my breath away. Just thinking about it makes me miss 'em so badly.

Kilroy, I loved your story about "The Hand" and "The Ring"...priceless!

Great story's everybody. Enjoying them a lot.Please keep them coming. This may not qualify as a holy shit moment and I'm not sure if I've mentioned on here before. But a good story I think. It was the Licks tour. My brother and his wife bought a ticket for me at Pac Bell Park. Since it was close to my birthday. Nov. 9,2002. We walk into the place and take are seats with no problem. I'm enjoying a solid 2-3 songs of Sheryl Crow. Then somebody walks up and says your in our seat. Well we check our tix and are convinced we are in the right seats. So an usher comes down and looks at our tix. Well we had the right seats,but the wrong night. Turns out,we had tickets for the night before. They said you can't stay in these seats,but are welcome to walk around and stand wherever is possible. Amazing they didn't kick us out and considering this was my birthday present. We walked around for a few minutes while I fumed and cursed out my brother. But between him and his wife.They are equal parts idiot and genius. My sister in-law says that the head of security is the brother of one of her girlfriends. We go to security and somehow convince them to call the head of stadium security. They do get a hold of him and he does come up to meet us. He laughs at our predicament,then takes us down to his office underneath the stadium. He tells his staff our predicament. They all get a good laugh at us. But,then they pull out seating chart. Look at it and say,well their are some sections that weren't filled after they put the stage up. So we went from semi-decent left field seats. To seats on the field. Which turnned out to be very near the B-Stage....And when they played Let it Bleed on the B-Stage. Your's truly was a very happy camper. War horses couldn't drag me away

Can a Holy Shit moment include meeting AND talking to any of them? How was it?

Anybody seen the band during the years they first came out? Holy Shit moments maybe?

I say all 16 shows I have seen were holy shit moments. To see them right before my eyes has always blown me away. But I guess the top moment was during the Bridges To Babylon tour back in '97. The Stones had played 4 nights in Oakland and I had gone to all four shows. On the final night I had second row and had had a few beverages and when Keith finished playing "All About You" he thanked the crowd and said "God bless you all." I yelled back "God bless you Keith!!!!!" He looked right at me and pointed. Very cool moment I will always remember that. I've often wondered if there is a recording of that show that picked my yell up or perhaps a video.

Music, to me, is the joy, right? I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all the time. It's the only constant thing in my life. It's the one thing you can count on. :Keith Richards 1993

I love the memory of being an innocent 7 year old @ RFK for the opening night of the '94 Voodoo Lounge tour - looking back at the setlist now, I don't know if I understood the magnitude of "Undercover" or "Can't Get Next To You" - I was just enjoying whatever they played.  Totally blown away by the "Not Fade Away" opener.  But the true holy shit moment was probably the closer, JJF, where I didn't care if it was 7+ minutes (like we all do on boots!), I never wanted it to end.

To wake up and found yourself in the middle of the Rolling Stones show (MSG 2002) Probably the first thing I said was "Holy Shit... I missed it" so it was another "Holy shit moment" for me

Of course the first time I saw them was a "holy shit moment" and let me tell ya, it was too the first time I met regulars in Hartford in March 1999

Another classic holy shit moment was during LICKS here in Melbourne. Took pics of the band etc. My wife got a hi-5 from all the band, i nearly got busted for taking snaps - but the holy this moment was i was right behind Daethgod and i didnt know it at the time!

Got some cool shots of the back of his dads head though.

I had a similar experience at the Mick Taylor show at the 100 Club, London, between the two Stones shows in 2003.

I know Gazza was there, and I'm sure other R.O. regulars, but that was before I was a regular poster on the boards.

'81 Hampton on Keith's Birthday.  First time I saw them.  We had won the chance to purchase tix on the radio and drove 5 hours up from Chapel Hill, NC where I was a senior in HS.  We got there about 1pm thinking we needed to be early and they didn't even let people into the lot until 5!  There was snow on the ground and it was festival seating, so when they opened the gates, we all ran for the coliseum.  With having to sit through George Thorogood, we were more than ready for the boys to take the stage.  We had been partying pretty heavily and people were passing out around us from the heat.  But so many holy shit moments:  Waiting on a friend, CAGWYW, Honky Tonk, Little T and A, etc.  Seeing all the classics from dead center 30 feet from the stage was unbelievable not to mention seeing Mick run all the way around the front row with a mic in his hands signing Let Me Go, Ronnie hanging off a tower or flipping a cig into his mouth, Ian playing piano, and lastly, Keith almost killing the fan who ran across the stage to steal Mick's pink Fedora...while the balloons came down and obscured my view...

Oh and the Bridges Tour watching Keith run across the stage to Chuck's piano and watch him for a minute and then bang out a goddamn beautiful riff on the keys with one hand to compliment what Chuck was playing, all in time to the song...stil can't believe it!

OK my first holy shit moment was my first Stones concert at MSG July 26, 1972. My friend Gail's older brother was going to the show and he had 2 extra tickets. I asked my dad if I could go and he said NO. YOU ARE TOO YOUNG! So of course I disobeyed and we went to The Garden to see the STONES! We had 2nd row center seats, and we stood on top of our chairs during the entire show screaming, dancing and going nuts! I fell totally in love with the 2 MICK's! The show was awesome! It was MICK's birthday that night, and at the end of the show they wheeled out a big cake and several bottles of whisky and champagne. MICK shakes up a bottle of champagne and sprays it into the audience, spraying me and Gail until we were completely soaked! MICK was laughing at us, took a drink out of the bottle and sprayed us again. We were laughing too but when I got home my dad smelled the liquor on me and started yelling at me for drinking! So I told him it was MICK JAGGER's chamagne, and he was actually relieved that I wasnt drunk so he forgave me for going to MSG. That's the night I fell in love with MICK JAGGER. I bought the Sticky Fingers album and would lie in my bed zipping and unzipping the cover imagining MICK was in bed with me. That started my MICK fantasies which carried me through a lifetime. I only found out a few years ago it was not MICK in the tighty-whities, but Andy Worhol's protege!
