Saw Some Girls tour Boulder Colorado 1978. On the field - 10 rows back. Ears rang for 3 days after! Amazing! Steel Wheels Tour San Diego 1981 (w/ J. Geils Band & George Thorogood - both awesome! Hour delay to help u forget how good opening bands were!) Seen twice in Vegassince 2000. Some Girls best concert of the 3 hands down. Perspective is a funny thing. They were seeming old in 1981! Growing up with R 'n R - to us it was only for the young! Not anymore though! ha ha
Great to correspond with someone who actually went to this concert! I saw them in June the following year at Wembley Stadium in London, so this was the build up to seeing my first legendary gig! Hope you enjoyed seeing the report on a gig you went to all those years ago!
I was at this concert in Orlando! and to think I thought I was seeing them so late, after they'd gotten "older"! ha! Of course I'd been listening to them since '64. Mick says "not even late!" BS!! They were an hour late coming on stage. The crowd was getting crazy throwing cups of ice, footballs and frizbees. Back then there were no videos behind them on stage. They're the best band in the universe. Even though this concert wasn't their best....I was still seeing the Stones live. Life was GOOD!
ahhahaha what the fuck, doesnt anyone realise this guy says "white rhythm and blues". which is ridiculous because of the obviously huge influence black rhythm and blues had on the stones. subtly racist?
@doodlemsshnoodle - no, i think he was making the point that it's a white interpretation of a musical idiom that wasn't theirs to begin with. the stones have never made a secret of the fact that they've always played black music.
I love this era. maybe cause i was in high school and my mom would not let me go to this show. and the fairwarning tour (van halen 1981). love u mom !
@TheAKAJACKIE I'd say it was their last good tour. Keith had is act together, better than ever. there weren't to many support musicians on the stage, not to many gadgets.
Mick wasn't over acting as much as these days, plus they had a great album in their luggage, "Tatoo You" (their last good record) - IMO
I love listening to Mick talk becuase he is very straight up on every sentence ya know! and if any Stones tour influences me its the 81 tour just becuase it was a fun bright tour! and the styles on each stone was really kool!
is it me or did he miss a verse?
