I only just got over '76 !
Probably one of the most tiring days of my life...and I had bit more energy when I was 16.

...of course I'd be there.
I could afford a better bed for the night than a trolley on Stevenage station this time ;^)

My grandma is playing a bag pipe concert at Knebworth House. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

To be fair...I probably wouldn't bother with one.
To this day I still sit outside Kings Cross all night when I've attended a London show.
...Not sure whether it's the masochisic streak or the Yorkshire frugality

What concert?
This is a copy/paste of an email Deltics got yesterday (from page 8 of this thread).............
Dear xxx,
Thank you for your email.
The Rolling Stones are not playing here at Knebworth in August and the Country show is being held here.
I hope your daughters enjoy their day with us.
Kind regards

The last song is pretty much unplayable in this day and age Martha. I saw them play it live on the opening night of Licks in Boston in 2002 but recent news stories probably make it a non starter.

Guess you're probably right... was thinking perhaps possible with a few tweaks to the lyrics but perhaps not!

Nope I agree Cracking Tune imho and would love to hear it live again. With changes to the lyrics you can uncross and re-admit it in my book. If you listen carefully at shows you'll note that for many, many years now Mick has amended the original (very un-PC) lyrics of Brown Sugar (also in our "Set List" btw) and I'm sure he can do exactly the same to Stray Cat Blues.
And yes it's true, many farmers do keep cats to deal with their mice problem

Stray cat blues (guessing farms have cats around to control mice and rats?

Cute picture!
Seems they might as well have cats if they're using poison - but that's just my uneducated in farming (modern or otherwise) methods.
