Ah, that was the one where the Hell's Angels were the "bodyguards" keeping people away from the stage by stabbing them to death?
I love the 'Stones!
Can you name the song playing when it happened ?
I have no idea. A good trivia question...
The IMAX film At the Max of their Steel Wheels Tour (I think) is really all you need. You got amazing picture and sound and all for about $15 at the time it came out. Haven't seen it playing in any IMAX theatre since then though. There is a DVD or video of it out but of course it isn't the same. I think that will be the definitive record of the Stones in concert long after they have rolled away for good.
Say yeah!!!
Boston Garden. 1969. Mick Taylor was on board.
Wow. This is the first I heard of this tour. I just saw it mentioned on a classic rock web site. At least the Stones have most of their line up intact (granted, there have been changes over 45 years). It is certainly better than some of the bands that are touring with hardly any original members (or members of a "classic" line up).
Like Foreigner touring with only Mick Jones in the band (who knows what happened to Lou Graham. I thought Jones and he made up). Molly Hatchet touring with no original members. Styx touring with 2 original members. It really gets to be rather silly after awhile. Even Foghat continues to tour without the deceased "Lonesome Dave", and didn't their main guitarist just die recently?
Oh well. Gotta make a living I guess.
ROCK ON.....4ever.
