The beginning of every stones concert..
But who says it?
Is it someone of the stones backing musicans - Chuck?
Or an assistant, maybe Matt Clifford?

Does anybody know something about the announcer?

Which tour? I think the '81-82 tour it was Bill Graham and I always thought it was Mick doing a lot of the early years.

As mighty stork notes it's not the same announcer (or announcement!) every tour.
It was Sam Cutler in 1969 (the greatest rock & roll band in the world);
Mick in 1978 (from England - the Rolling fokking Stones); Bill Graham in 1981/82;
Michael Cohl introduced some shows between 1989 and 2007, but not all of them had announcers/announcements.
And I don't think they had any announcers at all in 2012-2014, except maybe at the club/theater shows.

Oh yes, Matt Clifford, on every show

Yes, Matt, not their best imo.

This is the best...

Didn't Sam Cutler did it well into the 70's, too?
(I Never knew in 1978 Mick did it himself, btw.)

Really?! At the shows with drummers starting things off as well??
I was very successful in blotting him out :E

Woopi Goldberg did one show on Voodoo Lounge. All Bill clinton did the Beacon in 2006.

Round the 4:30-mark, S

Yes, I mean the announcer in 2012-2014...

Already thought it could be Matt.
I really like his announcing, especially since he screams it out

There is a shot a the beginning of Sweet Summer Sun when the Stones hit the stage in HydePark 2013 you see Matt Clifford on the right with microphone ready to announce. It's the shot when you see the Stones' backsides heading to the stage.

Who did Get Yer Ya Ya's Out? I always thought that was Mick doing like four different introduction tracks. Or was that whole intro concocted in the studio when they did the album?

You're right - I misread your post and see you already mentioned him. I was talking about Licks. That Charlie thing is getting to my head. Sorry about that.

At Madrid in June 2014, had a chat to Matt less than half hour before his announcement, in the FOS stage left area.
He was just getting the audience perspective at the time.
Sonoko and Andreea, zgubi , also had a chat to him.

A very nice guy.

Huh. Had no idea. Only took 45 years to learn.

Michael Buffer (let's get ready to rumble)

Chip Monck in 1972, Marshall Chess several shows 1973. And Peter Rudge for some 1975 and 1976 shows.
