Wow, you saw them already in 1966. It's fantastic that you see The Rolling Stones with Brian Jones still in de band. It's a long time ago but The Rolling Stones are always excellent.
I was at that concert...my best friend Sherri and I rode the bus downtown to the HIC from Pearl City Naval Housing area...it was the first concert we'd ever been to...we were 13 years old and we were in Heaven...still have my ticket stub, which is brown and very dinky and it's been in my jewelry case since that night. Great memories and have seen The Stones many times since that night!
Saw them same month in Portland Oregon. 3rd row center tickets were $4.50. Newspaper said they got $17,000 for the show, fwiw. Brian used a detuned Rickenbacker for sitar sound of Paint It Black". Superb concert when they were at their peak. Opening bands not bad either: The McCoys (Hang on Sloopy) & Standels (Dirty Water)
My dad attended that particular concert, which took place at the Portland Memorial Coliseum. That date was July 21, 1966, only ten days after his 16th birthday.
I traveled from S.W. Washington coast to that concert at the Memorial Coluseum. Had seen the Beatles there the summer before that. Stones ruled for sure!
This is a great concert so many great songs and they weren’t mailing it in like they’ve done in some concerts. I’ve heard. This brings back great memories of the summer of 1966 when so many of these songs were being played on my local AM radio stations KRLA and KHJ Los Angeles.
Missing what I think was their best live song of the 60s. I’m Alright. In the 70’s it’s Gimmie Shelter (mick Taylor Keith interplay), 80s under my thumb. From then on it’s virtually no difference
Well, that was to be expected considering that there was a lot more screaming at the Beatles' concerts and that was making them fed up. I imagine they couldn't wait for it to end.
Would you happen to have the Stones' first U.S. concert (meaning for 1966) that took place on June 24, 1966 in Lynn, Massachusetts at the Manning Bowl?
