Stones shows - any shows at all - I remember the No Nukes shows very well

US Festival 1983, California-3 days and nights of mayhem, including dozens of bands (Bowie, U2, Joe Walsh, Van Halen, English Beat, Oingo Boingo, Stray Cats, INXS, Ozzy, Scorpions, Motley Crue, etc., etc., etc.)
The Clash were one of the highlights, and this turned out to be the last show that Mick Jones would ever play with them.

I was at the Twickenham gig in 2003 that they filmed for the Four Flicks DVD.

The Boss at The Bottom Line(1975),l was lucky to have been there for a few of those shows:




The Stones @ MSG (1975) My own recording and video:








The Dolls @ Max (74)




"No Dope Smoking,No Beer Sold After 12 oclock"

I'm in this video briefly (I'm not the blond).

I've been lucky.

Stones:

San Francisco 1981
Oakland Halloween 1994
Austin 2006

1981 was a favorite but Austin is obviously the best quality

Some 28+ years later I was thrilled to listen to a fine recording of the 11/8/69, 2nd show, then a short video turned up. It showed Taylor's Satisfaction solo and a portion of LQ. What I remember about the show was being enthralled with Keith's effortless and classic playing. This was the moment in time when Keith was playing the music he born to play in the way it should be played. The music was just coming out of him. You get a glimpse of that in the LQ clip. It is nice to see. I wish there were more. I watched Keith the whole night.

Oh you meant videos where you are actually in the video,my bad...

I was at the show in the clip at the link I provided. It was Jimi Hendrix at Newport '69, a hot Sunday afternoon in June. I was right in the vicinity of where the camera was.

The Rolling Stones-Vredenberg, Utrecht, 2003. Front row, near center (the back of my head can be seen ).
Waited in line all day with a friend. We would give eachother breaks, and I remember smoking spliffs and eating pancakes throughout the day.
Probably the best Stones show I've ever seen, considering the overall atmosphere and the memories attached to the entire experience (not to mention a pretty damn good performance).





Below is an extended version with Dutch news report, fan interviews, etc...(unfortunately I don't speak Dutch).

That's nothing. I once was fortunate enough to have had front row seats for the Beatles. You'd be surprised how flabby they look when you see them up close like that.

Pearl Jam, Reunion Arena in Dallas, July 5th 1998. "The Rodman Show". Dennis Rodman, a huge Pearl Jam fan and inspiration for the song "Black, Red, Yellow", jumps on stage and joins the band. However his cameo drags on and he stays on stage for a good portion of the set, wearing on the nerves of some of the band. Stone eventually asked to crowd to show by applause who wanted him "the @#$%& off the stage" or something like that, but Rodman was not deterred.

At the time I felt he kind of ruined the show, but over time it became one of the more well known/infamous Pearl Jam shows, so I'm glad I was there. It was certainly strange.

Auburn Hills, Michigan. January 24, 2000. Opening night of their first tour in 25 years. VH1 broadcast the first four songs live.
