the Stones Black and Blue LP came out in 1976, in 1978 they toured for the Some Girls LP, I was also there in 1978 in the upper deck, i still remember seeing the green haze hovering above the infield.

I didn't miss many of these shows. I don't actually remember many of the details but the reefer was gold, the girls were bold and now I'm old. I made it!
