Nov 1 and 2 saw my first Stones shows in Van at BC Place. First time the band was in town since opening the 72 tour here. So much excitement in the city, I remember the front page of the local papers had a pic of Mick saying Pleased To Meet You. Both shows sold out very quickly, 55000 each night.
Living Color was the opening act, not bad not great. Second night I was row 2 on the floor, pretty much center. Best seats I've ever had for any concert. I remember the heat when the flames came up at the beginning of the show.
Anyone else here see these shows? Man time sure flies!

Thank you for the kind comment.
Not press, but I WAS shooting from the "press pit".

I was there for both nights. Had great seats from CBS & backstage passes the first night. Didn't get to meet the Stones though but was able to hang with Vernon Reid. Great sets but sad in that it was the end of the more stripped down Stones. I'm glad I saw them in 1978 & twice in 1981.
