Chris,
Interesting developments here in Detroit regarding the local venues featured in your book.
Cobo Arena was demolished last spring to make way for a renovated convention space.
The Pontiac Silverdome, was which sold in 2009 for only $ 583,000 , had its roof deflated yesterday in anticipation of some sort of remodel despite relative inactivity since The Detroit Lions moved out of Pontiac in 2001.
Email me if you want some picture that I just took...

Kurt - I will - thank you so much - so the arena is totally gone? Wasn't sure how much "renovation" it was and how much "destroy it and build something new"

what are the three or four best shows you saw in that very building?
Years ago it became a top 20-30 thing... because there became so many BEST show... Pink Floyd with the flying pig in 77, The WHO with the Pretenders, Rod The Bod many times, Fleetwood Mac (Tusk tour), Van Halen back in the heyday, Deep Purple with Richie Blackmore blazing the LAZY licks 4 feet from my face, AC/DC's cannons blasting that they salute us!!! from front row, Slash stepping down to bend his stings in front of my face and then zinging a pick right into my chest Ted Nugent/Scorpions/DefLeppard on Def's first tour, Metallica, Stevie Nicks 4-5 times, The Stones 2 times at Kemper, AC/DC's money dropping from the ceiling on Money Talks, MotleyfkgCrue blowing the roof off... I could on and on.... and not even counting fun throw away shows like The Go Gos/flock of Seagulls... ro other gone awayt acts..... man so many concerts, and priced at 7-10 or 15-20.... and we usually always sat in the first 5 row, and front row a lot.... or if not, we were just left or right stage balconey (sections 101 or 121 blazed in my head) and I have pictures of a lot of them.
Then there was The KC blades IHL hockey team (farm team of the Sharks) that I owned season tickets for 5 years (the only season tickets I ever owned)WE were on the glass, on the aisle, on the side by the goal... it was spectacualr for only about $20.00 (parking and 2 tickets) per game.... and one year they won the whole thing when we had Arturs Irbe as our goalee... and I would scream OKAAAAAAAAAY IRRRRRRBBBEEEEE!!!!
And I would go back and relive it all... in a split second I would.

This has long puzzled me - they call a last minute rehearsal to tighten up for the filming in Texas - they're incorporating Dead Flowers into the set for just two shows, yet they don't seem to rehearse it - or if so - it's never been included on any of the boots. Then they play it, film it, and it becomes standard-like for many of us, tight as a drum, soaring, even, and long before we ever saw the Marquee version. Then it's gone again, until Knebworth. Could they have gotten away with not rehearsing it? Was it just that easy a song for them to call up? Or are there more to the session tapes? And at 3:23, is that perhaps Jagger cueing Richards to the lyric tweak in the last chorus (US Mail, Say it with...) because they have not been playing the song and want to get it right for posterity? (at 3:30, I think you actually see Jagger say clearly "Say it with Dead Flowers")

The rehearsals are described in Stanly Booths book if I recall correctly. They ran throughout the night for about 12 hrs, with members dropping in and out the rehearsals. The main purpose was to rehearse tracks to be played at the shows that where filmed, and both Sweet Black Angel and Dead Flowers where rehearsed and played the next day. There's a 20 seconds snippet of the guitar riff to SBA on the boot, but nothing of Dead Flowers.

What was the name of this famous London park and how long did they have to sleep in the park?
It's a bench on the Chelsea Embankment .
They look a bit fancier these days.

Congrats on your new book. Are you going to include the 1989 rehearsals in Washington, Conn (Wykeham Rise, a former boarding school for girls) in part 2?

Dear HB
I've just read thru this thread and brought smiles as I read about Murry the K(aka the 5th Beatle), listenned all the time in early 60s and during the Beatles entry in US.and early British invasion..He used to talk about a new band in England called The Rolling Stones, sometime in spring/summer of 64 I heard "Tell Me & Not Fade Away" on WINS, that was it from that day till this morning...I was backstage in a tv studio in Brooklyn when the band played on Hullabaloo ( or Shindig, I forget which is which), Barry McGuire one hit wonder with "Eve of Destruction" was the MC..
In 1966 I saw the band chopper into the old Forrest Hills Tennis stadium which no longer stands.The crowd rushed onto the field and they had to chopper out.
dont have a kindle or reader but enjoy everything posted here.
best
