June 28, 1966, Honolulu, K-POI Concert : Not Fade Away * The Last Time * Paint It Black * Lady Jane * Mothers Little Helper * Get Off Of My Cloud * 19th Nervous Breakdown * Satisfaction
I was there, age 15, and have all the clippings from the Honolulu Star Bulletin published around the show. The headline in the paper the next day was "Rolling Stones Roll Through Fast Show." Mick wore a green paisley jacket with white pants and Brian wore his red-striped suit. The date above is incorrect, the show was held on Thursday July 28, 1966. Unbelievable that somebody captured this and that after 53 years I can hear this concert again.

This was a phone line feed from the sound board at the Blaisdell Center to the KPOI studios. The MC at the beginning was Tom Moffatt, he promoted a lot of great shows in Honolulu including the Crater Festivals.
Mick and Keith wrote the song. You have to ask yourself, what would Brian have done if he didn't have Mick and Keith writing such great songs for him to copy.?
I was lucky enough to be at this show at the Honolulu International Center. The Stones headlined the ticket with Herman's Hermits and Johnny Green & the Greenmen. Definitely "the old days!"
@@jasondrums2331 Oi - you think that's special? I saw them in October '64 playing the Gaumont cinema, Watford. Actually it wasn't special at all. You couldn't hear a thing because of the screaming. Later I saw them at the free Hyde Park concert in '69, just after Brian died. At least you could hear them. It all seemed very fake and contrived, though, with Mick in his silly androgynous gear, and the crowd responding robotically like dutiful extras. Different from the early, genuine Stones. The only version worth listening to.
Well, I know now that Brian was by far a better harp player than Mick would ever be. Listen to the nuance and trills on the harp on Not Fade Away. Awesome.
He was the real exponent of "play it different" - sitar, dulcimer, slide guitar, marimba, you name it - it was always Brian. The great thing is that we can still enjoy this stuff so many years latter, even with some of the cranky playdate era "Stones fans" and their irrellevant commentaries. This was the band at its best musically. Today iit's more of a corporate/stadium sound. I personally enjoy the earlier, more spare sound more, but whichever one you like still makes you a fan. But not an expert. None of us are,
I saw them on their last tour at SAP Pavilion, in San Jose and like you say, it is a corporate sound, unlike the smaller bands I see in smaller venues like the Fillmore, Warfield or Independent, but for me provide a more fulfilling experience. The Stones were Ok but what was unforgivable was the sound system which had gaping areas where my right ear could hear fine but there was nothing coming into my left ear. Never had that happen before and I paid $180 for that privilege. They sound great here- like a garage rock sound.!
WOW this version of Lady Jane brings tears in my eyes. Brian is wonderfull but allso Keith plays fantastic, Mick is in great shape and the bass from Bill is fabulous
Brian Jones was so dominant here! On top of "Not Fade Away" and "The Last Time" I'm pretty sure that's him taking the lead licks in "Paint it Black", "Lady Jane" and "Get Off My Cloud"... Brian Jones was the man.
+A. Willman Brian's parents taught piano. Consider what an advantage this gave him compared to the rest of his band mates; he could play any instrument and at least had some knowledge of music theory.
+LarryRickenbacker His mother did a little choir and his father was an engineer, but Brian was off-the-charts as a musician, could identify western and eastern tonal ranges as well as Elizabethan modes.
+A. Willman sometimes because of audience interaction they would play POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN on the guitars----and I think this was brian jones last ever gig with the stones

From 12th to 29th August 1966 they staged their third tour of America. But it was the last tour they ever underwent. The Stones are really great in this concert. Especially “Nervous Breakdown” is terrific. And it’s interesting to see that a Stones concert lasted only half an hour in those days.
Actually, the Beatles performed their last full live show a month after the Stones appeared in Hawaii (Candlestick Park, San Francisco, 29 August 1966).
Vital as hell. This is the version I saw in Sweden same year. I have pics from stage edge by myself Brian playing Dulcimer on his lap on Lady Jane.Mick in flowered jacket. Creation and life disappears in a black hole. Only information 2 dimentionals are the remains. But the empty room is left with love-as long as there is anyone there. But radiation from these events follows the exposed one through his dancing legs as long as they stay on stage . Happy rebirthdays boys.
I'm sure that the Stones would have preferred to keep him in the band but he self-destructed. They weren't going to get anywhere as a group with him unless he cleaned his act up. According to reports, he was usually too inebriated to make a contribution and, according to the other members, "not a nice person to be around." It's unfortunate because he was probably the most talented member of the group with an intelligence similar to that of Jim Morrison who self-destructed two years after Brian, also at the age of 27.
@Gypsyscotty9 I have no doubt that Brian's interviews were very articulate prior to when he self-destructed with drugs and booze. It's very sad because he formed the band but then ultimately became a major impediment to the band as a result of his substance abuse problem. Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman attended the funeral. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were unable to attend. However, the band staged a tribute concert for him at London's Hyde Park.
By the way, we can all thank the late Tom Moffatt for this tape...His vault of music rarities also includes never-released custom-videos of Jimi Hendrix and the Who. If only these could ever become available to the public--I saw a sample of the videos on a TV-tribute spot on "Uncle Tom", but never the whole videos.
this is an awesome recording from an interesting time for Stones live shows...great mix of the guitars...cool Keith/Brian interplay...also Mick & Keith singing together sounds really good...the whole band sounds good!
I know there's a lot of Paint it Black live versions but rare of them were performed in 60s. This one must be the best one by far. 8:49 - 9:01 such a beautiful guitar live passage, gosh how I love it. Missed in modern versions totally!
NOTHING IS BEATLEPROOF!! Not even this channel. Many thanks to kg441 for uploading this great Stones archive material and many more too - all true STONES FANS owe him a debt of gratitude.
Not Fade Away is a great start-off. Lady Jane is a pretty song. I like the way they do Satisfaction here. An enjoyable concert with piercing screaming which must have been so weird the first time they experienced that. Thanks for the upload.
Lee Cutty ...bread dough slapped down on the cutting board and pounded and rolled three times that the narrator of the song didn't get. Lol. (Sorry, inside joke that does relate to the Stones, "bread-making," June 1981, and a better way to get satisfaction.)
The boys' are in tune and Jagger's on key. Amazing concert! As a live band, there was hardly anyone who could compare to The Stones in that period. They just simply kicked ass all over the place.
Funny, I was just noticing that he was off key (typically sharp) throughout (very noticeable on This Could Be the Last Time). It's probably because of all the noise; hard to hear oneself. On Paint it Black the voice repeatedly fades completely when he turns away from the mic.
Lady Jane. Unfortunate that Brian had to self destruct. Fame is not for everyone, and for Brian it definitely wasn't. Such a natural musician is all sense of the term.
If your point is that the Stones are more primal, visceral and age better, I couldn't argue. I listen to the Stones even more as I grow older -- probably 10 hours for every hour I listen to the Beatles. But the canon of rock allows for finesse moves as well as power strokes, and the lyrical brilliance of Rubber Soul and Revolver on through Strawberry Fields Forever and A Day In The Life give them power, majesty and immortality all their own. Like comparing Dust My Broom and Strange Fruit..
This was my first concert....Monkees came next, to the HIC , with Tom Moffat of KPOI announcing both. The station had just left a C+W format in the dust to get off on R+R. The audience went nuts after the Stones left, and tore the place up....
Brian could have been a beatle , Harrison was a best friend his.. Mother's Little helper sounds similar in style to a beatles lick. Brian did play on 2 Beatles #'s with Oboe , Saxaphone.. You know my number & Baby your a rich man.. Brian was magic, very gifted musician , a genius, his IQ was over 140..
Oh shut up you Wally how could he be a Beatle 😂😂! George Harrison was not a best friend and Lennon couldn’t wait for him to stop whining to him bout mick and Keith (who he preferred) Paul would never allow a monster like that around him. The man beat up women BADLY !! Lennon hit out once and felt terrible. Brian did it to get turned on and he liked beating women he also bullied his own kids and made jokes out of them. You really are shameful and need to grow up get real and see life for what it is and stop being so deluded! Brian could be a Beatle 😂😂😂😂
Comparisons like this generally miss the point. Lennon and McCartney were the best pop/rock songwriters of all time and the Beatles were musical geniuses without parallel. The Stones were the best rock n roll band in history, with a rhythm section created by God (or Satan) himself. I think rock and roll is big enough to accommodate both prodigious talents.
This could be the best Stones concert from 1966. There is some very interesting unusual instrumentation on this...which makes me wonder if it is completely "live". If it is totally live then this is incredible!
One of the best version of "Paint It, black", It seems forward of ten years (so faster It seems the "Saints" australian punk rock band cover titled "This perfect day" 1978).
