I have asked this question before but never got an answer. Can someone please tell me exactly what time the Rolling Stones took to the stage on the night of their first gig on July 12, 1962?

Show time?

Do you know the scheduled time they were supposed to appear on stage? That would be good for starters.

No, I don't. Weren't some of the early gigs like goofy afternoon times?

Is this a serious question?

Yes, and it isn't the first time I have asked it. I am guessing sometime between 8 and 10 PM?

Could have been. That's why I am asking. Somebody around here must know.

The Loch Ness Monster said it was about three fiddy.

Yes. Well, knowing how Keith was back then and how he fell out of a coconut tree before the gig it was probably more like 3:07.

Just curious, of all the questions to ask, why is this one so important to you?

Answer: Nighttime.

An afternoon headlining gig in a nightclub on a Thursday afternoon? For whom, the retired pensioners? People are going to fill up a nightclub and drink beer for a headlining act at 3 in the afternoon--on a weekday?

Brian and his band mates met up with Mick, Keith and their fellows, and their rehearsals moved slowly into what is today known as the Rolling Stones. By the spring of 1962 Mick Jagger did also vocals with Alexis Korner on stage, now performing every Thursday evening at the Marquee Club, back then on Oxford Street.

Alexis Corner's Blues Incorporated were booked to perform live on a BBC radio broadcast on July 12, 1962. As they could not fit in Mick as a 2nd vocalist, Mick could not be on stage at that BBC recording. However, the regular Thursday performance at the Marquee Club were now missing Alexis and his band, and this was the opportunity for what was Brian Jones and his band back then.

So the fellow that said 3:30 was incorrect?

I am into dates and numbers. I just wanted a specific time to note the official close to the 50th anniversary year.

They were filling in for the regular evening show done by Alexis Korner's band (Blues Incorporated). The Stones played 18 songs, so they played for about 2 hours.

All you have to do is find out what the usual starting time was for the regular Thursday evening gig for Alexis Korner's band at the Marquee. Offhand, I wouldn't know, but the info must be out there somewhere....

Can you make out a starting time on this advert (the one in the middle)? Maybe with a magnifying glass....



BI's slot at the Ealing club started at 7:30 p.m. (on Saturdays).

This is what you do:

1. Visit a park near Bill Wyman's house.
2. Bury a piece of metal (anything will do, say a lid to a can of paint) in the grass, about 1-2 feet from the surface.
3. Wait in the park. Try not to be creepy about it or the local constabulary might pick you up. Don't hide in the bushes or harass children. Using a mobile device to post ridiculous items on IORR is fine. Keep yourself busy.
4. Sooner or later, Bill will come along with his metal detector. Stay quiet! these moment are really important. the suspense needs to build up here.
5. If he is using a Bill Wyman signature metal detector (the best on the market, and a good bet he will be as it's his livelihood these days) his metal detector will go off when he points it at the region of the grass where you buried the 'treasure'
6. Before he starts to dig, or even calling for a film crew to come film him digging (for his next infomercial), jump out of the bushes
7. Tell him that what he found in the ground was yours, but that you'll let him have it if he reveals the starting time for their gig that night.

Trust me, he knows. And this plan will work. And he will be really excited to have found whatever you buried.

If you have trouble recognizing him under these circumstances, here is some help:

Aha! Looks like the Thursday night residency at the Marquee started at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday nights at the Marquee club ran from 7:30 to 11 p.m., as shown in the January 1963 advert for the Marquee below....



....however, The Rollin' Stones were not alone on the bill for July 12, 1962. Also on the bill was Long John Baldry's Kansas City Blues Boys....



....and with The Rollin' Stones playing 18 songs, it's probably safe to assume that they went on at 9 p.m. and played for the remaining 2 hours of the Thursday night at the Marquee.

Aren't you about a year late?

Question for LongRanger / Watchman / Blackhat JumpinJack O Lantern - If you are such a huge fan...why have you not been to a single show this tour?

Have you ever seen them live?

Are you based in the US?

I only ask because, I'm nearly 25 and have paid out to see them 7 times now, 4 times as a student and literally had to beg/borrow/steal to make it - but I did.

Do you have no ambition to see them live?

Just a query, I know you have said previously you'll wait for the DVD release, but It really isnt the same...

Since the Hyde Park show on 13th July belongs still to the 50 & Counting Tour, the 50th anniversary year closes officially 13th July 2013, 10:30pm.

The start was on 12th July 2012 at 5:40pm as the Stones arrived at the Somerset House in London (see the video here)
