Be funny if Keith does wind up outliving Mick, Mick’s been a health freak since the 70s, and has taken good care of himself.
Sounds like a blast. I was 11..
That Joy Behar has been everywhere.
I was there.
I was lucky to find my car.
Cool fall evening, no rain about 60 degrees.
Stayed at Ft. Story after the concert.
IIRC, after George and One Boubon one scotch one beer, Stones opened up with “Start me up.”
5.56mm
Hampton Roads was IIRC the last show on that tour. George Thorogood and the Destroyers was the opening act.
“Keith Richards jamming with George Thorogood”
Who will Keith Richards be jamming with in 40 years?
Saw them at the meadowlands that tour. They were great.
Now they show up in separate limos 30mins before the show.
Before the blew up the Kingdome in Seattle, I and 3 buddies had very, very good tickets. $350 back then.
We went out to eat at a nice restaurant before the show with 6:00 reservations. As we were leaving, the 4 core Stones arrived. Mick, Keith, Ron and Charlie.
Taller than I expected, fit and high as a kite. We could smell the weed wafting off them. Bright and smiley.
We were leaving at about 7:00 and the show started at 8pm.
The Stones probably beat us back to the venue and they started ON TIME.
It was the best concert I’ve ever seen in all my years and I’ve seen just about everybody but Hendrix and the Beatles.
Three hours of nonstop rock, blues, country and stuff that doesn’t fit a single category. Not a single break except to get a drink and wipe the sweat.
They are the epitome of professional entertainers.
Saw Mick and the boys at the Oakland Coliseum on Mick’s birthday 1978 one of the few shows of the Some Girls Tour. Eddie Money, Carlos Santana, Peter Tosh were there to play. Huge delay before the Stones went on stage. A quick tight set. 16 songs and they were back to doing rails offa stripper’s a$$es. Always leave’em wanting more—right? Was down on the field with a bota bag with nice wine, some cheese and salami... guy in front passed out before the Stones came on and finally came around for the finals notes...he stodd up, clapped three times and fell back down.... I learned that one has to pace themselves for these events...Can’t peak too early.
Funny, I watched an old Stones concert movie yesterday afternoon.

I saw Thoroughgood around that time in the old Agora Ballroom in Atlanta, across the street from the Fox. Good show, we were right up front.
"Still, he says the Stones will "definitely" continue and remain committed to completing their American tour that was postponed by Covid. "Hopefully things will somewhere near normal by the end of the summer, let's hope, anyway," Jagger said."
Happened on my 18th birthday.
And Keith’s 38th.
Saw them in Munich on the European tour in ‘82 — the whole stadium was general admission and Germans may be timely but they were not early to this show. We were front and center.
What a concert!
J. Geils opened — Stones are the greatest band in Rock’n’Roll, but J. Geils put on the greatest show.
‘Ll check it out.
BTW I think the blonde and the kid are Ron Woods’ wife and kid. I think they’re the same two that appear backstage in the Some Girls concert link I posted elsewhere in the thread.
