Something between the glimmer twins was festering throughout the
the American leg of the 1981 tour and with the firing of Jane Rose,
Stones long time executive secretary,
it boiled over into a mental hop scotch
chess match between the glimmer twins

"Keith had immediately hired her to look after his
affairs as his manager.”
Pissing Mick off

“This made Mick crazy and the more authority
Keith gave Jane, the angrier
Mick became.” (what is it with these two guys,always bickering)

"Sept 1981 deep in tour rehersal at Longview
Farm in autunmal maple –red Massachuetts the
RS tried to get it to gether one more time Jagger
carred a calculator and appoinment book he tell
Woody’s ol lady, Jo to keep her “brats” out of his
face Keith turned a basment room (again w/the basement)
into his pool room where he and Woody drank, jammed
and complained about “Brenda” one of their many name
for prissy, diffident Jagger. "
excerpt from'Old gods almost dead." Stephen Davis

Mick had insisted the
musicans sign a “NO DOPE AT THE GIGS” clause
in their tour contracts and Keith who hated freebase
had personally guareenteed that
RW wouldn’t use base on the tour. Another clause
provided that Mick stay completely off the stage
while Keith did his single number of the set.
Mick had made a lot of unilateral decisions about the
tour that annoyed keith He didn’t like the cheap looking
Japanese pop art stage sets he didn’t care about the
film and cable tv rights Jagger was sellin, and didn’t think
the Stones were in any shape to do a concert film.
He was irked that mick rfused tohire Bobby Keys for
the tour and instead had singned up Ernie Watts
Ketih despised Mick’s industrial “ cherry picker,”
that would project Mick over the heads of the kids in
the stadium shows like a ludicrous pop preacher.
This was such a sore point that

Mick tried to leverage
keith with it , offering to lose the cherry picker
if Keith promised there would be no
hard drugs on the tour” ( right)

“Good morning South Philly pretzel munchers cheese steak much?”
The top 40 radio station blurring out “ ALL STONES ALL DAY “ bam boom crack
morning
drive time “Satisfaction. ” Album oriented rock was sinking it’s frequency
with cuts from
“ Tattoo You “ the college station was spinning the long, long, long version
of “Slave.”

That morning my little rock n’ roller
cooked me up some eggs
Then she made some tea, kissed me on the cheek
And I turned on her TV
But my ear was riveted to the announcement coming from the radio
It was loud and clear “300 Rolling Stones' tickets
will go on sale this
morning10 am at the JFK box office!” I shouted “Start Me Up!”
Getting a ticket
would be a monumental
feat difficult especially since it was only
the second show on the tour but
I was determined.and hopped the A train

The talk was ‘bout tours,
as Bill Taylor, a writer for the Philadelphia
Journal, would note in a piece appearing the morning
of the second show
“ When the Stones come out from under
their rock and hit the touring trail- a phenomenon
that happens regular asclockwork every
three years- what they do is something which transcends
mere music,”
I climb out exit JFK box office what a dump! All
bleacher seating, worst
restrooms ever.

Mick Jagger held a press conference announcing
the tour a few weeks earlier
it’s all coming back now the Rolling Stones concert

3 years ago Mick was dodging foot wear. I wonder
what we’re gonna heave over
our shoulders
and onto the stage this year?

From a distance I scoped out the crowd not
to big I should be able to get
a ticket that’s if nobody butts in line.
No sir not on my watch. Still it was pretty early
and the sun was shining on my coffee .
a concert official came over and slept a wrist ban on
me with the number 81. if I could get my hands and
a ticket everything would be turning to gold for
me. Ever since the end of the 78’ tour I’ve tried
to keep up with the news about the Stones
searching for news articles , radio interviews ,
bootlegs, word of mouth, and
newsletters etc.

The line started to thicken I was ensconce
with Stones freaks the people in front of me are
talking about Keith’s Manhattan neighbor that
“ they are disturbed by the loud rock music
he plays all day.”
“ He’s in the loud business” someone says.
The groupie behind me was rocking his Sony Compact
All-Metal Chassis cassette with a fresh bootleg
tape of the Pathe Marconi sessions last October ,
I heard a snippet they said the song was called
“Time To Go” I said that sounds like Bobby Keys
but I was immediately corrected one
person told me it was” Mel Collins’ saxophone lick .”

The Stones double-entendred, three-word porn movie title
” Under my Thumb”is used as an excuse for the women to carry
signs in protest, many angry feminists are holding
the side walk at bay shouting at the Stones.
I know better than to hang out in a line with a bunch
of drunken reprobates wearing wrist
bans waiting to get their hands on a few Stones’ tickets
I needed to pee and I was waiting on a friend to stand in line for me.
But he was held up trying to get a wrist ban for the weekly government
cheese.

I was talking to Mr.Stones about the song “Hang Fire”
I corrected him and he thought I called him a “Lazy Bitch”
I said “So sorry I meant to say is that ,
during those out takes you can hear MJ improvising
and He throws in the lyric “ I had-it with you, hang-fire,”
Possibly referring to Keef.
I told Mr.Stones I thought that would make a
good title for a song someday.
Mr. Stones came back with it saying “Lazy Bitch,"
The track portrays the depression state of a country racked
by unemployment and poverty” he went on to say “
It has a cynical ring since the people
described seem content to remain faltering at the bottom
of the social pile- the working title "Lazy Bitch" confirms
these suspicions “The country dear friends is one
where I used to come from “ sings Jagger.
Mr. Stones continued “The single release was only
made in the states, the insinuation
perhaps too strong for an upfront single release on
home territory.”
From Martin Elliot’s “RS’s complete
Recording Sessions 1963-1989.”

I finally got my ticket now I was like everybody else
Break out the I Ching and drop that pickles down the hole-
just then the gates opened I was walking and chafing into
the vast JFK stadium looking for my seat thinking
"the inaudible and noiseless foot of Time." – Shakespeare page 39.
I detected the el supreme-o and the top of the stair
where all the poor folks are sitting

One person was yelling “More sugar”
I didn’t have enough money to buy a t-shirt so instead
I went looking for liquor. The sign said restrooms this way
Beer thata-way. I told the people waiting in front of me
“ Long after we have gone as the flash of our beginnings
Has not yet traveled it's light years of distance
we will disappear in the black space from which we came from
Destroyed as we began in a burst of gas and fire!"
I dashed to the field nestled between center right
Keith’s side the stage I was in hog heaven, it was gonna
be a long wait. Most of the people were stuck
in traffic jammed subway door lines

neighbors do unto stranger...

This the Skylord in a long black limousine
with the Traffic report, if you’re
in the vicinity of the Rolling Stones concert tonight and you
are in your car wondering why you’re not moving blame it on the Stones.
The Stones are in town and everybody slowing down to take a look.

Traffic congested in every direction everybody trying to get
in the parking lot, oddly enough the parking lot is still
empty plenty of parking once you get here.
Traffic news twitter FLASH : NYPD APB people dress in
plastic bags directing traffic near or around the concert.


Look out! Little red roster lost his way on the streets of love traffic
backed up The North bound intersection Eastbound 101
A collision on south bond 405 oil tanker truck leaking,
spun out and now a fresh
layer of oil glossing over the divider lane north bound
motorist breaking out the lawn chair sucking up the mess
ejoying the oilgasm


People starting
to worry about their great grandchildren

living ten miles
beneath the ground
they worry about their whole existence The whole damn thing's
in doubt.

We got millions unemployed Some kids can't write
Some kids can't read Some kids are hungry
Some over eat this weekend.
traffic like a train wreck in middle of
traffic jam motorist slowing down
westbound 210 inland empire added congestion due to the
huge event, the Stones.


Mick Jagger once wrote : You can follow the road to the mountain
Or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where your life go left or go right
It's you in the driver's seat.” that’s not necessarily
true right now on east bound 91 pass the bridges to Babylon motorist
are leaving their vehicles throwing away the keys and punting
east bound 91 backed up for miles, nothing but brakes lights
flashes as far as the eye can see.

Down the road apiece 395 south bound and the 210 interchange
looks like giant bottle neck the riders in the heat about to
explode with cars Just the sight would make a gown man cry. Hwy.
Patrol APB for a flaming runaway Toyota, stay clear of that

Downtown, Broad St. bumper to bumper frenzy, the surface streets
looks like stuff arteries there’s a steel guitar engagement
with all their faded junkies too people in cars trying to buy
Stones tickets on the corner of West 8th Street and 6th Avenue .
Down fifty-third street they're spitting on face value tickets Yeah,
some called me garbage
When I was sleeping on the street I never roll And
I never cheat
I'm filling a need I'm plugging a hole.

The Subway filled with Stones
Pick pocket picketers waiting on the A-train to
get to the show,
Let it rock.

The Goodyear blimp dodging the news helicopters high above the stadium
down below the anticipation building up the mood was anxious people
hooting and howling yelling and whistling inching closer to the stage ready
to get rocked hard and fast by the Stones.

everybody was wearing a beautiful buzz what a beautiful buzz indeed.
Frisbees colliding with giant beach balls, stranger stopping strangers just
to shake their hands, girls flashing guys, guys drooling all over each other.
I was ready for shuffling madness the crush ready for the push towards
the giant pink stage.

Someone hand me my refeer nothing happen but then all of
a sudden everything look bigger the stage was enormous

I started getting hungry and
paranoid and I scrapped the sky I scoped out the stage all is quiet except for the
small roadie Keith’s side fussing around tinkering with some
knobs.

Soon after that it become a struggle
I couldn’t deny myself it would only tighten up I surge closer to the stage
the huge draped curtain in all its splendor, punctuated the stage pagentry
The mass began to bellow as one you can hear the piano chords warming up
then Duke Ellington’s classic song “ Take the ‘A Train” blurs
through out the speakers, now you are caught in the web ( so soon?)
The energy level is ripe The Rolling Stones will be so close you can
almost touch them and with that

Bill Graham‘s voice cracks the mic.
GOOD EVENING PHILIDELPHIA! THANK YOU FOR WAITING WOULD YOU PLEASE!!
WELCOME THE ROLLING STONES!!!!!!

Excerpts from “The Rolling Stones The Last Tour”
by Peter Goddard

“Critics have flown in from London to L.A. and
less than an hour into the first show JFK all the workers
and groupies Hangers-on record people have come to realize
the same thing: It isn’t working> The rolling stones
are bombing in exactly the same city they bombed in at the start
of their last tour in 1978

Chord changes are being missed, words forgotten and the’s
no trust, no energy Overhead a tiny plane circles

pulling a banner with a feminist message complaing a
bout the words “under my thumb,” some knew it might happen
this way . They almost expected it.
Immediately before the Stones started out, friends ,
close to band whispered that this might well be “the last time.”

The Stones opened up with a classic
switch gears into a rocker.
people spitting in my face yelling
(enough with the yelling already)

Kick that mother down Keef!

Copsnrobbers, show us some Tempe pics!

Hi akgameboy, yes i do request.
I don't remember googling this article
some time back had it in a folder

" I"t is December 13, 1981, Sun Devil Stadium.
We have some reasonably good seats, have sat through
Joe Ely and then George Thorogood and the Delaware
Destroyers. The Rolling Stones are on the stage.
The song is "Let Me Go". Mick Jagger climbs down
a ladder from the stage and heads into the crowd
with a wireless microphone.

He is suddenly running
down the aisle that we (Bonnie Braun, Susan and myself)
are about 6 people over from. In the first shot here you see
him standing in the aisle (pink shirt).
In the next scene

Baby Please! letmego!


you can see me in the extreme lower left corner
(Levi jacket, shades). You can't really see Susan,
you can see Bonnie (hooded sweatshirt). Jagger i
s still visible in the aisle.

In the third shot, you
can make out the three of us well, but Jagger
is no longer visible, although you can tell where
he is (as before just behind the guy in the windbreaker
and the sunglasses). To find us,
start at the upper left hand corner and head diagonally
towards the center, we are about halfway to the center,
first me, then Susan, then Bonnie. This footage is from
the film Let's Spend the Night Together, which
I have been trying to get a DVD copy of for years,
which Mike bought me for Fathers' Day.

The Rolling Stones – Sun Devil Stadium
It was a concert for the ages, the Stones were coming to
Phoenix, and little did we know that the concert would become
a movie. We spent the night in line, having tickets
that were general admission, we wanted to be as
close to the stage as possible.
When the gates opened, we were at the entrance directly
behind the stage. They had the field fenced from
the stage front to the other end of the field,
approximately 100 yards.
So the day started with a 200 yard dash, there and back,
rather than run in and go directly to the front.
Our positioning was not exactly what we camped out for,
but pretty close. Slightly off center and about six or
eight rows back. It was fairly comfortable for a couple
hours, but when the first band took the stage,
it got crowded, and stayed that way the rest of the night.
The lineup was The Joe Ely Band, (who?), to be followed
by George Thorogood and the Destroyers, with the Stones
as the finale. Having been in line since noon the day before,
our bodies were tired, but soon it would all be a memory. "

The Pop Life; THE ROLLING STONES: ONCE ADOLESCENT, THEY'VE GROWN UP
By ROBERT PALMER
Published: August 26, 1981
Illustrations: photo of Mick Jagger
''TATTOO YOU,'' the new album by the Rolling Stones,
is in local record stores today, a week ahead of schedule.
Despite extensive security precautions taken by Rolling
Stones Records, a copy of the album (probably a tape)
made its way to WNMR, a radio station in Philadelphia,
and was broadcast at the beginning of last week. Another
Philadelphia station, WYST, taped the album off the air
and began broadcasting its tape. Within a few days, tapes
of the original tape were being broadcast in Buffalo and
Chicago, and a copy had reached a disk jockey at WNEW in New York,
who called Atlantic Records, the album's distributor. At this point,
Rolling Stones Records decided to rush-release the album.
The album's premature release came as the Rolling Stones
were beginning rehearsals for a coming tour, their first since 1978.
Last Friday, members of the group and of the concert promoter
Bill Graham's organization were inspecting the Roseland ballroom,
which has been mentioned as a possible site for one of the Rolling
Stones' Manhattan appearances. ''Look for the Stones to play a
number of places in the New York area,'' said a source close to the band.

(hey kid stop throwing peanuts at the band)
Every Rolling Stones tour since the beginning of the 1970's has
prompted the same questions from fans and the press. Are the
Stones still capable of playing first-rate rock-and-roll and of
playing together as a band? Will this be their last tour? Will
any Stones quit the band to pursue solo careers or to work outside
music? Keith Richards, the group's lead guitarist and co-writer,
with Mick Jagger, of their songs, put these questions in perspective
last summer.'I'll still be playing rock-and-roll when
I'm in a wheelchair,''
he said. ''As long as people want to hear it.'' And the bassist
Bill Wyman, who was rumored to be leaving the group, has announced
that he is still a Stone and will be on the coming tour.
On the subject of age, the 37-year-old Mr. Jagger may not be able
to summon the athletic energy he commanded 10 or 15 years ago,
but that doesn't necessarily means the Rolling Stones shows will
be less rewarding musically. In fact, if the new ''Tattoo You'
' album is any indication,

the Rolling Stones are playing with
more commitment and fire than they have shown in some time.
Last Great Album


End of part one.
