Never seen that one before. Thanks!
Looks like Stu barely got in that one as well.

those are really cool pictures. Looks like the concert was played at a high school? Id never heard that before.

thanks!

The Rolling Stones in concert at Kemper Arena. Several pictures from this event are in the 1982 yearbook.

and it looks like Mark Murtha is the photographer's name.

thanks for posting the link, Britney (if you felt like correcting the year in the title of the thread,
that would be way cool too ... have some popcorn either way)

The Teacher said names, dates, citys and states would be on the final exam, so if you are studying,........

The state is Missouri
The city is Kansas City
The year is 1981

....and for extra credit, it was Mick Taylors Birthday, when he he played on Dec 14 1981..
the Stones also played on Dc 15th, but Taylor did not play.

The Stones hate Kansas City.
They played more concerts in single citys on the BB tour ( eg LA, Chicago and Boston) than they have EVER played in KC, total.

They even went so far as to play an BB tour date in WEEcheeta KS to avoid playing in Kansas City.

Mick Taylor's birthday is 17th January, not 14th December. (so, he's a Capricorn, not a Sagitarrian, like Keith. The only star sign which is common to two band members is Gemini - Ronnie and Charlie)

Maybe they just played Wichita so they could sing Wichita Lineman there.

Its odd they havent played KC more.

However, KC has two notable trivia moments in Stones' touring history. The '81 guest appearance by Taylor of course - plus the 1975 show which saw Keith sing 'Sure the one you need' (a Jagger/Richards song off Ronnie's first album) for his vocal spot. The first time a solo song had been performed at a Stones show (the only other time would be the performance of the same song in Milwaukee 2 days later)

Didn't stop them from playing there in 1999.

Wow. Taylor looks chubby even back then.

BUT I still love em. But I have only seen them 30 times live,

LOL...you poor bastard.....

They've played KC in 72, 75, 81 (2), 89, and 99. While not alot, I can't say they HATE KC. Now there was a rumor when I lived there that Led Zeppelin, who only played there in 69 DID hate KC. Perhaps got screwed by a promotor but not really sure.

Mick was asking the crowd..quite slurring..
"IS EVERYONE SUFFICIENTLY RIPPED?"
"I HOPE EVERYONE IS SUFFICIENTLY RIPPED".....I love it....the banter alone on that bootleg makes it worth owning.

OMG, Thats GOLD!!

Fantastic pics. It's great to see that the Stones once were a "normal" R&R band, and not Rock Royalty. I love the stage, the equipment dumped on it, the monitors in front, the cables all over -this is a band of mortals playing the best R&R in the world. Btw, I never realized how "small" some venues of the '81 tour were.

Jagger is looking at Taylor as if to say, 'why isn't he here more often.'

Era - Oh no he isn't!!! remember this was listed in Rolling Stone mag at the
time as; At the personal invitation of Keith Richards - Mick Taylor's inclusion
with the Rolling Stones... Jagger didn't want this at all...

MLC

All I know is, that was a rocking High School!

don't know if this one has ever been posted:

You're in dreamland my boy. And BTW: In the last pic, MT looks quite like Bill German in those years.

JumpingKentFlash

also looks like he is having a load of fun

How long did he play in the set that night?

No rotating stage and the seating looks intimate. These are nice pics!

Was his guitar plugged and audible?

I had never seen pics of Taylor on stage with them; (in 81 I mean) and I'm glad that in the last one he is finally laughing. A great find.

Keith and Bobbny Keys are both Sagitarrians born on the same day 18/12 same year 1943 - Keith has stressed that several times. How much closer can you get - and Keys is an almost band member, has been with the Stones since 1969.
