Umm...I remember what a pain in the @ss it was to get to Oshawa on a Sunday...Doug and I had two sets of tickets, two for the afternoon show and two for the evening...we sold the evening ones for $50 a piece.
I recall John Belushi coming out to introduce the band.
I remember the New Barbarians were pretty good, but couldn't wait for the Stones to come out...the NBs finished their set and it was a mad house. Then out of the dark there were two stools and Mick and Keith walked out and sat on the them and played Prodigal Son....the place went crazy...Everyone was now standing on top of their chairs and I had to fight with some @sshole photographer who told me he wa from Rolling Stone magazine as he pushed his way to share the space on top of my seat...
Otherwise...it went way too fast..It was a short show, I can't remember but I doubt it was much longer than 90-100 minutes...
But it was a great introduction to the Stones live....
The only thing that surpassed this was 2002 when I got to seem them rehearse in Toronto...but that's another story.
PS No, Doug's dad never mentioned the missing lawn chairs><
