This was in the punk or post-punk age. Even the Rolling Stones had to be sports, tough it out and take some abuse from the crowd. All show Jagger was amazing at dodging things. True, Orange County is not exactly the east end of London. At one point a frisbee went zinging by his head. Only a reflex dodge prevented him from getting nailed. I guess shoes were being thrown up as well. Finally, Jagger, tired of it (in a let's get it over with mood), said "Let's have them all" and invited the barrage." He said something like "LA, city of the shoes."
It was a fun show, backing a fun album. But seeing them in a stadium...well...it was different than the last time I saw the band in '72 and '73. I will not even mention '69. Different time, different audience, different band. The next time I saw them was in '81 at the LA Coliseum. That was just too much for me. I was not connecting anymore on any level.
