Seeing them first time live. So much invested in that experience, lots of expectations, hopes & fears... and they topped them all! The band was simply better than I ever could have imagined! Greatest thing was to realize how well those great tracks from the records worked in concert. Some songs were realized there, and I was able to hear there features I couldn't quite grasp just by listening records. But's like losing a virginity - one can do that only once. Not any concerts of theirs since then have been able to give me
that feeling again. Shit, after that concert I really thought that 'yeah, now I can die happy". I was in heaven, still days and weeks afterwards, the setlist just stick into my mind, and for years I could spell it number by number, without ever seen in print anywhere (now I don't but I have Gazza's pages..). It also felt at the time that not just having a dream finally realized, but also 'this is it', my first and last Stones concert - little I knew...
