TheLizard Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 One of my top 3 artists and far and away the best concert I've ever seen. Thanks Mick, Keith and Charlie for never quitting even when everybody seemed to think you should. Best night of my life, best rock and roll band out there.

bluesboy Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The Mick Taylor years culminating with the 1973 European Tour as one of the high points of The Rolling Stones career. Just one example - Gimme Shelter - Brussels - 10/17/73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Stayed with a friend in California in 1978 for about a month...she said she had a couple tickets to a concert and would not tell me to what concert until I arrived there.....happened to be Santana and Rolling Stones at the Oakland Colleseum....It was Mick's birthday...35th I think....Santana sang happy birthday to Mick and a helicopter went over the stadium and dropped hundreds of pink balloons.....Definitely the best concert I have ever seen...and will never forget......and when Mick was climbing up the stage and swinging from the rafters he looked like a little monkey...

TheLizard Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I can't believe I was only 16 when I saw them. One of those memories that is just permanently burned in my mind. I think I remember this concert more fondly than, er, several other firsts. Here's the setlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 16? So you saw them just a few years ago then? I was about the same age when I saw them... 18 yrs. old. I was so hyped for the show I got horrifically drunk and barely remember the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I've seen the Stones 18 times, and I plan on seeing them at least twice more! The 1989 Steel Wheels Tour was the greatest tour by any band ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Seen 'em 3 times - Steel Wheels - 1989 at Busch Stadium, St Louis (best concert EVER, nothing more to say) Bridges to Babylon - 1997 Trans World Dome, St Louis. I believe this was the first World Wide Web interactive concert for the Stones, and was also broadcast via pay per view (so I also have it recorded) - the online listeners were given the opportunity to determine 1 song played by vote. I think the choices were Miss You, Waiting on a Friend, and something else. Waiting on a Friend won. A Bigger Bang Tour - 2005 Chicago's Soldier Field. Old? You sure couldn't tell it by the performance. Members of the audience were chosen to sit in those tiers on stage - If I remember right, I think this Stone's tour was the first time this was done, though it's common now. These 3 concerts were the best of my life, and I've been to a lot .... thanks boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 LOVE the Stones. Seen them three times over the years. Have been playing Get Yer Ya Ya's out in my car all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I saw them three times in the 80s. Wish I had seen them with Mick Taylor. They are just incredible onstange. Well, they are my fave band on vinyl too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I remember being massively impressed by the sound of the guitars in It's All Over Now, that came out of my first little transistor radio in 1964. Have been a fan ever since. My first concert was Amsterdam, October 10, 1970. Highlight of the concert was Prodigal Son, Mick only assisted by Keith on acoustic guitar. I had worked my way through the crowd and was 10 meters away from the stage. I cannot find proof that Stephen Stills played piano that night, as the newspaper wrote next day. Never saw the piano that night. I saw them 6 times more. Most astonishing was seeing my son singing along all lyrics of Sweet Virginia, which appeared to be his favourite Stones song. Ain't that a well educated boy, I thought for the first time, and joined him in singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Saw them from the netheregions of the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York, 1989. One of our very first forays into song journalism was "Memory Motel" - we wanted to find out exactly where that place was and why The Stones wrote a song about it, and we did.

bmuseed Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 The Euro Tour 1970 dates in Amsterdam were on the 9th...but there were suggested dates of the 11th and 12th. Are you sure about the date?? I remember being massively impressed by the sound of the guitars in It's All Over Now, that came out of my first little transistor radio in 1964. Have been a fan ever since. My first concert was Amsterdam, October 10, 1970. Highlight of the concert was Prodigal Son, Mick only assisted by Keith on acoustic guitar.
