The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar, 05/01/75, Flatbed Truck on 5th Avenue, NYC 

jesus, i could have died there and then!!!

@@reresimone4300 It was a very special day. When I got home started calling all my friends telling them what we saw, and none of them believed me. Then the 6 oclock news came on and that was the top story. My phone started ringing off the hook. I remember watching the news with my parents and hoping to god that the cameras didnt show the crowd where i was standing instead of junior high that day! lol

Did you see mick Jagger

Lucky dude. NYC, great city. Wish the Stones did that in Chicago. Oh well. I remember reading about this in Rolling Stone.

Must’ve been awesome, I luv the Stones!

Wonderful hit and song that makes the Stones knew worldwide... With their own label... Important.. Sticky Fingers... After 2019 they were pressure not to play Brown Sugar..! I'm a fan since late 70's... Not English or American, never got attention to lyrics, fuck off, just for the great Keith Richards Riff and shout brown sugar... What happened was a huge disappointment to me... I can really write this... Never in my life I thought the Stones selled and put on their knees because of crazy movements... Saw them first time in Madrid 1982, and after 1990 all the tours... Became fan by seeing (and friends) the video Paris 1976 in VHS in a B&O Store...great TV, sound and color.... That time in Portugal was two channels black and white color... We go out, nobody cares... We're beginning teenagers... Fuck...Saw a lot of Stones concerts... The last (hapilly...) in the front of rock in Rio Lisboa 2014, (The word Rock nowadays for this event is a great eufemism... She only wants money and give louzy bands... To avoid it..!!!!), after, no more see the Rolling Stones, but after some 25, 30 concerts in the 90's and 2000's ( First in 1982 and after all I think it was the best... No big production, simple stage and great music and thunderstorm..) I saw enough and the best.. Nowadays I think twice... Got to have the old memories on stage.. And Charlie Watts... That's what it is, Thanks A Lot for the Concerts I saw, much more than that, were authentic Rituals.. But Always Brown Sugar... Regards

The sound was awful

You'd be crying in a bad way since this sond,.my favorite, was cancelled. I'm devastated!

Steel Wheelchairs tour

Strolling Bones ? Never heard anyone refer to them as such. You might need new friends❤❤❤😂😂😂

But they need to stop --- it's past time to stop. Keefe and Ronnie literally look like animated skeletons.

tix?

@@klaasj7808 I Bought my tix at the MSG Box Office the day of this Flatbed Truck Show on 5/1/75. It announced the Tix being on sale at MSG Box Office over the radio. I was Driving in Central NJ at the time. As soon as I heard it, I drove to a friends and pix him up and drove straight to 40th St and 8th Ave where I parked and walked 7 blocks. I got two tix to 6/27/75 show. I was happy as a clam. PS: In '75, I witnessed my 2nd & 3rd Led Zeppelin concerts (2/3 & 2/8), my 1st of x 4 Stones concerts (6/27) and on 12/15/75, sitting in row # 2, my 4th in two years. So I saw all 3 Live in '75. My last GREAT year / era for shows 4/21/73 to 12/15/75.

Groovy! I was in the front at the Seattle show.

I got to see the first show in 1981 at JFK stadium in Philly, made it to the front row somehow. Of the 100+ concerts I've been to, that is the most memorable! Oh yea 15 dollars a ticket then!

LOL I SAW THEM AT SECOND SHOW 9/26/81 80 DEGREE WEATHER, @JFK 100,000 OF THE STONES, CLOSES FRIENDS, LOL THEY FORMED THE SAME YR. I WAS ESTABLISHED, CIRCA1962!!! WITH GEORGE THOROGOOD& THE DELAWARE DESTROYERS& JOURNEY WITH STEVE PERRY. YEP, TIX WERE $15.75 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Same story for me except i was 16. My best high school friend approached me just before school let out for the summer and said he had gotten two tickets for the June 25th 1975 show. His Mom picked me up and off we headed on the train down to NYC. First concert for both of us as well. I had no idea what that show was to mean to me. It made me a life long stones fan for sure. Turns out, that night was the last time i would see my friend again as well. When school started he was nowhere to be found. My guess is his Father probably got transferred out of state that summer as he was a big executive. A couple years ago i tracked him down and sadly, he had passed away a few years prior. He is buried though in our town we went to H.S. in. So, from time to time i go and pay him a visit. I actually have the 6/25 show on bootleg and i play it for him. I think i can feel him rocking to it the way i do. Nothing ever before or since compared to the Stones in MSG in the summer of 75. Glad you got to experience it as well ! :)

Simply amazing experiences! Thanks for sharing them, I did enjoy those very much 😎

Awesome

Same here, bud. They played the LA Forum in 1975.

I was in the City that day but I was at MSG box office buying my 6/27/75 show. It was my 1st of x 4. It was announced on the Radio and I was in Central NJ Driving around. I Heard it, Pick up a friend's brother and off to the City. What a whirlwind!! There were 1000's of people already there. But we got ours plus two more seats!! I never forgot that day and the show.

​​@@markmichalko3913 show proof of it we won't believe you til you do it

@@musashielmaldito6848 Proof of what?? I sat in a $12.50 seat Loge Section 21C /Row B/ Seat 4 on 6/27/75 @ MSG. Plus 45 more shows between 4/21/73 - 7/17/80. Then moved to Calif in '81 and my 1st was 3 days @ US FESTIVAL '82 and then Day # 2 of US FESTIVAL '83. 3 more STONES show in Calif. Two at the Oakland Coliseum Stadium and one at the Shark Tank in San Jose CA. Don't need to prove anything. I remember all my 46 shows and have many pix of all the GREAT ones. But I ain't showin' you shit!! PS: You should see the Pix of me in row # 1 at Roger Daltrey feet during my 12/15/75 show at the Spectrum. Or go ask EDGAR WINTER & RICK DERRIINGER how the WHO / MONTROSE show was at MSG, NYC on 6/14/74. We watch that one together. And he high fived me when I told him I was Graduating HS six days later. PS: and who is WE anyway!!

@@markmichalko3913 ok just kidding no need to be so harsh you were there

@@musashielmaldito6848 Never had anyone ??? my concert memories before. Most people I share my stories & concert pix are so glad that I remember and remember in such detail. I have some GREAT Concert stories, Esp the '1973 & '74 years (I was 16 & 17). I take pride in my recall of shows & life events whether it be good or bad. My Vivid memory is also sometimes a curse. But when it comes to the show, i'm just glad I remember it all. Most of the people that talk about there concerts can't get dates, or who played or what they played right. Make me crack up. I guess it wasn't that important to them but I loved the show. I didn't do a lot but the ones I did were all a big deal to me and the people I went with. I barely did 100 shows but they were the BEST that Classic rock had to offer. PS: WHO is We anyway?? What did you want me to prove??? It was a funny ??? PSS: I can tell you the set list of this and every band I saw live (OR about 99.3%). I have in a folder. PSSS: i'm normally always a nice guy and never or almost never have issues w/ anyone. I'm a classic rock study esp between '64 - '73 (The Last GREAT year for Classic LP Releases). I also tend to Filibuster when it comes to my stories. You should have been to some of them, A Life - Time full of memories. So MR MALDITO, YOU FREAKIN' BE & STAY SAFE!! GO RANGERS!!

The Rolling Stones are old. So this means they suck to. You peanut brain!

Glad you're enjoying it! I stumbled on the 16mm transfer of the first news clip by chance and compiled the rest to try and make the most complete version. Not perfect but the best we can get for now it seems.

Robert, I live this. Radio announcement while this was going on. TIX on Sale @ MSG Box Office. I grabbed a buddy, Drove to Port Authority on 8th Ave & 40th St and was there 22 and 1/2 mins of hearing it on the RADIO, then ran the 7 Blocks to MSG. Many People in Line. So I asked if anyone if they were buying the min tix purchase. One gal said she was buying two. I gave her my $$$ and she bought 4. My show was 6/27/75. No opener at mine w/ Billy Preston in tow. My 1st of x 4 STONES concert. PS: I love being part of history!! Just like my 1st of x 4 ZEP concerts. As a 16 year old and only my 9th show ever, I hit the Mail -In Lottery for 4 tix's to show # 2 Used in the Movie/Live LP "The Song Remains the Same". Not bad for a Central NJ Burb Kid.

RU-vid is a treasure trove for hidden gems. The one social media that adds more than it takes.

Uptight woke fairies find it offensive and are triggered by it. Unbelievably pathetic.

just heard them at Gillette stadium in Boston last week...theyre amazing!!!

@@4465VmanGlad you got to see them. They were sloppy in LA in 75. I bought that CD and it dose have it's moments. The Stones were tight @ MSG when I saw them in 75. I saw Keith in NJ on his birthday in 88 & the Stones in 89. And today @ 80 years of age one of the Glimmer Twins has to drop dead and it would probably be on stage in order to end The Rolling Stones. The Show Must Go On. If someone told me back when I was a teen during the 1970's that The Rolling Stones would be touring in 2024 I have him netted thrown onto a straightjacket and committed . They'll Be Dead Soon ! LOL🎸 Go Figure LOL !

@@franktheo4755 his 88 or 89 tour behind "talk is cheap" was really amazing so i heard..the album itself is awesome as you know ..i have been reading "life" ... hes had quite a life....he referred to the 75 tour as the "cocaine tour" as he said after each song he and Ronnie wood would do a bump of coke off the top of a back speaker flat area!! maybe thats why they sounded so sloppy!!

@@4465Vman The Stones had to Acclimate Ron Wood's sound and style on lead guitar that Mick Taylor played. The band fine tuned their sound as the 75 tour rolled on. I've listened to other concert footage from 75-76 where you almost couldn't tell it was Wood playing solo's in songs and you'd think it was Taylor. Yes, Talk Is Cheap is a Masterpiece 🎸

@@franktheo4755 thx for the cool history ..i love Black and Blue (75 or 76) Woods first studio album ...amazing ..yeah taylor was so so talented but burnt out form being in the band had a drug problem and frustrated he didnt have his name on the authors of certain stones songs

We got into the Garden for $30. from a scalper

According to Wikipedia he was an "unofficial" member this year and officially joined the next. Great comment.

@@md091000 Although, I don't think that Ronnie was made a share holder until Bill left in '93. I believe that he was on salary until then. Being a member of an enormous band like that is like being a partner in a corporation. They finally let Ronnie take Bill's share when he left a vacancy.

The other way round surely

Mick Jagger channels the Universe man,, the Ramones were good at what they did of course,, but, ummm yeah, not in the same league at all,,

@@mikelangford7763 oh dear… you missed the point entirely!

wow, I was ready to dismiss this as a 'maybe' but it really does look like him - he apparently went back to London sometime in May, but the timing would work out. Good eye!

@@bendyment4164 I know haha totally wasn't ready for that and the timeline definitely fits. I think he was staying in the area too, somewhere below 14th Street.

Nice! I have a clip from the Toronto show up as well.

"When"?

Charlie got the idea from blue musicians who used flatbed trucks to advertise their upcoming shows.

@@cherrybomb2600 He did.

liar

You're welcome! Unfortunately not entirely complete, but probably as good as it'll get unless anything else surfaces

Glad to share!

Chicago apparently got that stage as well

Philly had it to

😂😂

This was his first public appearance

Very cool!

liar
