42 and 63 shows

This has me wondering, who here has the most shows per years of life?

Harm has 1.5 shows per his, or could it be her, 42 years.

Does anyone else here have a higher percentage? I come in at 0.25 shows for my 48 year-old body.

48.
First show Lyon 1976
Last show Lyon 2007 .
Best shows :1976/1982/1995



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

36 years old and 9 shows

At 66, please tell me I am not the oldest, the body is stuffed but the brain is still a rock and roller.

my good mate, the GR, who hasnt posted here in a while, must have clocked in over 120 shows (I remember him telling me at Glasgow in 2006 that it was his 113th show) and is 46/47.

mind you, bv seems to be at about 70-80 shows per tour (he was present at more shows on the last tour than both Ronnie and Keith) so unless he's about 300 years old and has been cryogenically frozen to look younger, I think his 'ratio' would beat pretty much anyone else's....

Pretty much the same!- first show Wembley 95

33 years old, 11 shows.....


The Rolling Stones Foxboro Stadium, Foxboro, MA, October 20, 1997
The Rolling Stones Hartford Civic Center Arena, Hartford, CT, March 28, 1999
The Rolling Stones Hartford Civic Center Arena, Hartford, CT, October 5, 2002
The Rolling Stones Fenway Park, Boston, MA, August 21, 2005
The Rolling Stones Rentchler Field, East Hartford, CT, August 26,2005
The Rolling Stones Pepsi Arena, Albany, NY, September 17, 2005
The Rolling Stones Hersheypark Stadium, Hershey, PA, October 1, 2005
The Rolling Stones Madison Square Garden New York City, NY, January 18, 2006
The Rolling Stones Twickenham Stadium, London, England, August 22, 2006
The Rolling Stones Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA, September 20, 2006
The Rolling Stones Churchill Downs, Louisville, KY, September 29, 2006


Best show? That's really tough to choose...First Foxboro show? Because it's what finally cemented my current day obsession with the band...Second show? Because I was 6 rows behind the stage and I first heard PIB and Memory Motel...Opening night at Fenway? Because it was opening night and the atmosphere was more than electric; I was hearing ABB songs before the album was out and I loved them all; I got Heartbreaker; they rocked the hell outta Beantown; and I discovered the Black Eyed Peas and what a tremendous body Fergie has...Rentchler Field 5 days later? Because I finally heard Ruby Tuesday live and they did a helluva version of Get Up, Stand Up...MSG? Because I was 8 feet from the B-Stage and I swear Charlie was looking right at me and I got to hear Love Is Strong and Worried About You...Twickenham? Because I saw them in London and I got to spend a week there and 1 day in Paris, often forgetting that the purpose of the trip was to see the boys in their homeland...Gillette Stadium? Because I finally heard Sway and they opened with PIB and I heard 6 songs never heard live before...Churchill Downs? Because it's such an historic venue and I was in the second row, Keith's side and got Dead Flowers........

The only show I really didn't care for was Albany, so picking my least favorite is a helluva lot easier than picking my favorite.

I can't really pick a favorite...the 3 Boston shows probably all tie for first. I find it interesting that I've seen them 3 times in Boston and 3 in Hartford, 3 in August, September, and October...I see a coincidence here!

If you had, you wouldnt get to as many shows because you'd probably never feel the need to leave the house...

45 years & one show.
All the rich and glamorous chaps on this site keep on
ridicule me coz I havent been able to see more shows (lost my job in 2001),
but at least I took two of my kids to the very same show & drew 5,200 kilometers to view it. Sohoe and Kent followed.

Have also seen & met Taylor & Bill & ALO.

Hey VOODOOLOUNGE, I was at 8 of your 11 shows! You must live near me! Are you from New England? I think I've " spoken" to you before.

If they do, they're arseholes. You're a bigger Stones fan than pretty much anyone else on here.

Hey Baboon Bro ,sure nobody will dare to make a fool out of you because you don't get the biggest number of shows !
OK,you're right ,some will make some dumb and irrelevant comments as

He has seen only three Stones shows since 1982? He must be a great Stones fan then.

I remember that one.

And may be you'll be able to see the boys one more time if they decided to go back on tour.
Cheers from Sway.

Hey Mickschix,
I was originally from Connecticut, and all of my mother's family's still domiciled there, along with my parents. My dad's family's all in Vermont. Nowadays, I'm in upstate New York, but it's most convenient for me, babysitter wise, to go see them in CT, as I can just leave the kids at my parents. Boston, to me, is the best place to see Stones, so I usually don't miss the opportunity to see them there, and it's not that bad of a drive home. To here, it's about 4 hours, but to my parents house, only about 2-2.5.

What about you? Where do you live??
VL

I`m 45.
