My recollection of this show is that THOSE were the days that you could take photographic equipment in, I remember I borrowed a 300mm zoom lense off my then girlfriend's father, and of the innumerable shots I took, 5 were reasonable when not taken up to larger than 10 x 8 ... so they're framed, together with the ticket stub.
To remind myself of that "era" I periodically watch "Lets spend The Night Together" by Hal Ashby, and I don't know if others would agree, but off ALL the tours the Stones have ever done, and of ALL the openers they've ever employed, that use of Under My Thumb as the opener in 1981/82 is for me pretty much unsurpassed, I think it's up there with the best ever.

I also think the choice of 'Land of hope and Glory' at the end of that show (as seen on the pro shot video of the 2nd night) was wonderful. For the non-UK shows that summer, it was the '1812 Overture', I think.

Maybe an end-of-tour nod to Bill Graham?

Has the "Make The World Go Round" vinyl boot ever made to a CD-R transfer? I recall some moons ago Silkcut announced an attempt but as far as I know it has never seen the light of day...
Yeah the playin was sloppy at times but they sure rocked.

BTW, I remember on my way home from the first Wembley gig, hearing the news that Northern Ireland had beaten hosts Spain 1-0 in the World Cup. Probably their most famous win EVER!!

I can't think of any other reason!

At the end of the Leeds show, they played Tony Bennet's "I Left My Heart In San Francisco"!!
Somehow, it seemed perfect.

My 1st stones show......an incredible night (26th june).
I was obsessed with Keith at the time and watched his every move .he NEVER hit Ronnie.
I was in the crush ,slightly to the left of centre.
was lucky enough to see them again at leeds a month later. Almost a different band when they came back in 89.

(Bold by me). Indeed. Watching and listening to clips - the band makes mistakes with huge percent all the time - nothing seem to work in teh beginning "She's So Cold" - but they still roll - but just watching the impressions in face of Bill and how they interract with each other - I mean musically - they are a like big one organ, breathing rock and roll. And all of it is up to five members of the band - they carry the whole thing olely by their own groove as a 'proper' rock and roll should do. They NEVER be the same again. The contrast is HUGE compared to 1989/1990 tour. I can understand why some people even prefer the safe and sure, professionalized Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle band to the insecure, shakey, druggie band of 1982 but my opinion is that something CRUCIAL was lost during teh 80's. As far as I am concerned, The 'true' Stones never survived the bloody decade. They went in as the greatest rock and roll band of the world and came out as the most expensive Rolling Stones cover band there is. Of course there would be wonderful mements and shows from 1989 on, but something that I sense in those Wembley clips is gone - it is SO CLEAR to me that I almost cry...

That's definetly the Wembley roof in the background, and there's a similarity in Mick's clothing from the first night.
Thanx I would love a copy! Maybe it's best to post it here or one of the trackers so all the Wembley 82 fanatics can relive the moment?Quote

Great tour but Jaggers outfits have to be the all-time crappiest of ANY tour the Stones did(even more goofy lookin than the 75 tour!)
