I was 12 years old for the first show and 13 for the second. It was an awakening for a very young girl after a time of great sadness in the US and in my personal life (dad passed when I was very young.) The music opened my ears. Those harmonies!!! Paul opened my eyes lol...he was (is) so damn beautiful!! I had to BEG my mom for the money to go. I remember that one of the shows was under $6.00! In those days, the tickets arrived in the mail. I don't remember the ordering process at all. It was also a time when it was safe for young girls to travel around NY on bus and subway although the first year, my mom did take us. A different world.

. I found this as a nice example to illustrate what a Schultüte is, which apparently has no equivalent outside the German speaking world.

My late father was from Germany, and I have a photo of him as a small boy with one.
It's my understanding that there is candy in them?
Do kids get them every school year, or just when they start grade school?

Loads of candy...
Well, I expected them every school year, but unfortunately, you get them only when you start. One of my first major disappointments in life when I realized that...

It's candy and fruit and the like in there, and maybe some useful items like pens. But you'll get the Schultüte only once in your life, on the very first day you ever go to school, first day of first grade.
I still have the pic of my first school day, freshly combed, best clothes on, proudly, a bit shyly presenting the Schultüte on the stairs to the school's main gate. That are memories: 1965 and all innocent.

on August 15, 1995 the Stones played in Leipzig/Germany for the very first time. I was there as around 80.000 other, but was one of few giving high five to Mick when he came down the stage walking some meters along the front row ...

Here's a nice read on "Hey Jude". It shows the song as one of the greatest singalongs - and popular Beatles song - ever recorded. Is it? Is there any song by the Stones that's comparable i terms of being sung, essentially, everywhere for various occasions?

I don't really think so. The closest I can think is the "woo woos" on Sympathy but thats pretty different. Same with Brown Sugar and the "yeah yeah woos" at the end. Other than that they have choruses that are super recognizable like Start Me Up or Ruby Tuesday but thats also pretty different than the Hey Jude singalong.
Start Me Up gets sung at quite a few different events... including football gamesQuote
