Yeah right it's 110 degrees  in Mojave desert  where I'm posting from.
I'm staying home keeping cool I did my 40 hours this week
Always good to talk to you Edith Grove and to
everyone sneaking a peep. I'll try and wrap this thread up asap.

Bye bye  New York.
"Whenever the Rolling Stones came to Cleveland,
we broke format and did non-stop hours of their music –
including rare and unreleased tracks.   We called it the WMMS Rolling Stones Orgy.
When the Stones played their two WMMS World Series of Rock dates
at Cleveland Stadium in summers
of 1975 and 1978, 1981 we went non-stop Stones from Friday night
through early Sunday morning
Three of the venues the Rolling Stones played in from
the sixties through the nineties were demolished:
The Cleveland Arena, the Coliseum in Richfield, and Cleveland Stadium.  
Only the Akron Rubber Bowl, where the Stones performed in 1972,
remains intact, for now. Good bye Cleveland. Hello St Louis St Paul
Ain't no girls pretty as the girls in Chicago they'll give you the blues.

Pheonix Az.  Bill Wyman's bloody book  " We went onstage at 4:30pm
and played our usual set to 77,000 fans.
I wore my steel blue Nike suit .

Hal Ashby on hand filming.
We played a very good show in the sun to a good audience.

During 'Honky tonk Women, the  Saloon Girls and
the bands’s girlfriends come onstage
from the wings and paraded .
We left a wonderful fireworks display,
which was probably the best one."

This next excerpt from a fan at the show
"It is December 13, 1981, Sun Devil Stadium. We have some
reasonably good seats,
have sat through Joe Ely and then George Thorogood and
the Delaware Destroyers.
The Rolling Stones are on the stage. The song is "Let Me Go".

Mick Jagger climbs down a ladder from the stage and heads into
the crowd with a wireless microphone.
He is suddenly running down the aisle that
we (Bonnie Braun, Susan and myself) are about 6 people over from.


In the first shot here you see him standing in the aisle (pink shirt).
In the next scene you can see me in the extreme lower left corner
(Levi jacket, shades).
You can't really see Susan, you can see Bonnie (hooded sweatshirt).
Jagger is still visible in the aisle. In the third shot, you can make
out the three of us well, but Jagger
is no longer visible, although you can tell where he
is (as before just behind the guy in the windbreaker
and the sunglasses).

To find us, start at the upper left hand corner and
head diagonally towards the center,
we are about halfway to the center, first me,
then Susan, then Bonnie.
This footage is from the film Let's Spend the Night Together,
which I have been trying to get a DVD copy of for years."

We need another  Rolling Stones tour..dammit!

Keith and Woody are nervous for this was going to be on live television.

The show was taped for cable TV
and would be seen by 1,00,000 people
in seventeen American cities keith was pacing
around wondering what they’d got themselves into.
The pressures on him were considerable,
because to sing in tune properly he felt he couldn’t
“fool around” on stage.

Check this out from a fan ...
"I WAS AT THIS SHOW, IT WAS SNOWING THE MORNING OF
THIS CONCERT, AND I GOT
INTERVIEWED BY THE DAILY PRESS...why was I there? a Crazy quesion:
it the Rolling F@ king Stones,ok? The Greatest R 'n R Band in the World!
I was some 3 feet from the stage, taking photos of Keith, and his girl-
friend, then, taking photos of him! IT WAS AWESOME, still, to this day,
nohing beats this show "

People elbowing  and jabbing each other ribs, in front of the stage
now that’s not very Christian like   at a Rolling Stones’ congregation

 all the fans trying to get as close to the stage as possible and for what?  
So they  can hear them better?
Ofcourse not it was the attraction to the music,
gravity pure and simple.

One  girl  had her elbows resting on the person back shoulder  
squashed in front of her back shouting  
“I’m just trying to get one F* picture Just one!!”
Mick trying to keep up with Charlie smashing the  snare
he's like a machine another dent on his high  hat
his legs furiously slamming the kit.

Mr. Stones leaned on me and starting screaming.
You know what this place is,?! don't you?! don't you? You've
been here before. 3 years ago..

But you're afraid to review it! aren't you?! Aren't you?!!!

Why? Because you don't want anyone to know,
do you?!!!  Do you?!!!!!!  It’s really true you can’t always
get what you what to steal  just listen to
the London Blah-blah choir
crescendo on that two stepper there.
The Stones!!!!"
I was so wasted all I could think of was the ballons
Mr.Stones was about to go insane he started off by yelling in my ear

"I'm giving it three stars because  The Stones are the Stones!
and longevity means success!!

If you do venture in, even on a dare, even on a double
dirty dare, wear the sunglasses,
okay? You don't want your boss to see you here  with the Stones.

Rockin' thread !
