Wow!!

TomL and I just watched that ...you crazy motherfucker, where did you dig that outta??

Was trying to see if I was on camera .. I was maybe 40-50 feet off the stage in front, slightly to Ronnie's side. Wild seeing how packed in I was!!

Goddam that is cool.
They had already taken box-cutters to the stage mural to prevent the wind from taking it over!

Crazy -- thanks man!!!!

they didn't play take the A train or have a curtain... it was b/c of high winds?

VERY windy afternoon.
I was on Keith's side about 2 sections up.
And it was just about this time that they took the stage.
Thanks for the clip Gazza.

Very windy and the sound was hard to hear as it swept up..had a good coke buzz on from the Dead show the night before at the old Aud. Not a big fan of the 81 tour and this show I rank last in my listing of 43 shows....way too much saxaphone on every freakin tune..yucchhh

Not on the original tour sked, but a radio station's petition campaign brought the Stones to town. Tickets even gave a nod to the locals... http://goo.gl/3nH9o http://goo.gl/6k882 Philip Kamin

Listinening to the beginning ot UMT on Still Life at the record store (had just had teeth pulled out and was offered an LP to cheer me up, was undecided between Still Life and Ram...until I listened to them) is what turned me on to the Stones in June or July of 1982, so it can't be all bad Wink

I do remembe reading here that a lot of the songs sounded the same with most of the arrangements being the same and the lack of decent stadium sound systems at the time. It's not too bad on the LSTNT movie but it must have been overdubbed pretty bad.
