Cleveland is dreadful - my understanding is the Stones were blown off stage by opener Kansas which will tell you how bad they were.
It was dark and rainy all day and there was just an ugly vibe in the air. Kansas was well received but Peter Tosh most assuredly was not. The Stones played horrifically, Jaggers voice was a coked out croak and his gaunt appearance under that red cap freaked people out. There was, of course, the knucklehead contingent who didn't know or care to know, the Some Girls stuff so they set about lighting cherry bombs. The whole show was less than 90 minutes which pissed people off as well since the Stones had provided a nearly three hour tour de force in the same venue three years earlier. Also, the show ENDED in the late afternoon. I was back in Toledo by 7pm or so.

I remember the 'ugly vibe,' now that you mention it. I was almost trampled at the gates. Thanks for the description, which brought back memories.

Detroit seems like the best. We only have a few songs from it, though.
Well that's not really true, we're only missing 5 songs; "Far Away Eyes", "Respectable", "Sweet Little Sixteen," Brown Sugar" and "Jumpin Jack Flash"
Detroit IS the best show of the tour, though - IMO. Other great ones, Chicago, Myrtle Beach and New York City.....as a starter.
Mostly, the stadium shows were not good, only the gigs at smaller venues. Chicago and 2nd Anaheim are exceptions.

They did "Satisfaction" is Philly too.
The pics from Cleveland are the ones where Jagger looks odd: in the leather jacket, with flat hair.

Here's some of my pix from Cleveland '78. I also threw in a New Barbarians one from '79. Kinda blurry, but you get the idea.
