Oh yeah! Sweet! GREAT post! Looked like a fun show for the guitar players, lots of smiles. Is that a young Chuck Leavell on the keyboards? Man they make em good in Ohio ...mmmmQuote

First thing I realized, when I saw those pics: back then they were a WORKING band!

The first thing I thought of is how they sucked at that time.

GREAT PHOTOS but this particular show has been discussed extensively and most of those who were there, including me, say it was quite possibly the worst Rolling Stones performance in the history of the band. I certainly have never seen nor heard them worse, be it live, on video or tape, than they were on the that ugly, rainy Saturday.

the second worst i ever saw was opening night Philadelphia 1981. Cleve 78 was FAR worse. FAR.
Funny, I was at both those shows. Philly 81 was bad, big time. Talk about bad weather.
I've seen these guys over 100 times. Me and my buddies still talk about how great that 78 Cleveland show was. Some Girls had been out just a couple of weeks and they played, what, about half that album live that day(?).
Rough around the edges, no doubt, but that was the charm of that tour, at least to us.
I was right in front, center stage, what a mob. Cloths flying everywhere.
I have 15 minutes of silent color super-8 footage of that show. Including the part where Mick marches back and forth twirling that American flag like he was in a high school band. Hilarious.
You can see Jerry Hall moving about on stage beind the band at one point. Cool footage of Stu, too, during set-up.
Amazing I was able to keep the camera as steady as I did. Though during the first song, Let It Rock (still my favorite opener), my camera gets banged around pretty bad.
One of my all time favorite Stones shows - Cleveland '78
Thank you josepi for sharing these great photos.
