Set list, no, except they did Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, which had come out that day (or close), Paint It Black, and the usual faves (Satisfaction, etc.). The gig itself I remember vividly (including what I wore--black turtleneck)--warm-up bands included the Yardbirds and Ike and Tina Turner, then when the Stones came on we all stood on our seats and screamed. I remember what they were wearing too. Brian was wearing a velvet Regency jacket, and as I said at one point some girls got onstage and grabbed him, and the show was briefly halted while the cops dragged them off, etc. This made it EVEN MORE EXCITING!
You lucky devil ! Any memories of the Yardbirds ? I always wish there was more audio/footage of the Beck vs Page "world war 3" era Yardbirds.

Yes indeed. I have always been grateful that I was able to know England throughout the late Sixties. I made many diverse friends and we are still friends today. I learned about real history ...not just one page in a book.
Obviously, England has changed greatly since then...but will always love the UK.
I agree.Quote

Scotland made a wee statement about all that the following year at Wembley.

Yep, Tina was magic!
Would like to suggest to His Majesty that when he has time he might want to do a thorough search of photos and footage from the September 1966 Royal Albert Hall concert...Brian was at his best that night. Looked great....played dulcimer etc...was enjoying himself immensely. May have been his proudest moment because a year later he was not so happy within himself. (MANY good people tried to help him..but he simply couldn't be helped.)
EACH member of the Rolling Stones stood out that night. Audience loved them all...It was before "websites" had been invented and "favorites" were in fashion.
Keith had not yet become a God.
I was not one of the screaming leapers storming the stage...but I was mightily impressed and also concerned they'd all end up in hospital. I was very young and had never seen anything like those determined lasses. I remember it all vividly and it's still one of THE best shows I ever will see. Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift would die for that kind of crowd response!

Parts of a bunch of shows from that tour seem to have been transmitted on the radio, along with interviews (don't think it was TV--my diary's not clear).
