No disrespect to the City of Buffalo, but the possible last US show ever can't be in Buffalo.

I'm supposed to be there, but earlier this week my wife was in the hospital so she finally knows the answer of what's more important, her or Mick.

I hope you're wife is recovering nicely, JTHanis, and I think Mick will understand.

Thank you. I'm taking it as a sign that I will have another chance to see him. The ride isn't over.

Wishing your wife can recover soon and that both of you hopefully can see them together.

It's clearly Got Me Rocking since it so early in the setlist. We can also see ''SH'' and then ''ts'' so SPOILER ALERT, here's the first three songs:
JFF
IORR

That looks more like the 78 Buffalo stage unless my memory escapes me.

hope your wife is better. ...

as for the Stones, that's the 1978 stage at then Rich Stadium, not 1975 when they played the old War Memorial Aud. 1978 was the stripped down Some Girls tour, my very first concert, with my younger brother, and it was our favorite band, the Stones, who couldn't/didn't come to Canada that year due to Keith Richards' drug issues in Toronto, so we went to Buffalo to see them. amazing show, just 1.5 hours but rocked, big middle section of if I recall 8 of 10 Some Girls tunes.. afternoon show, no encore and as a result people tore down the stage, according to reports (our bus tour had left by then). April Wine, Atlanta Rhythm Section and the pre-Steve Perry somewhat psychaedelic Journey opened...Stones rocked that day and there were at least 20,000 Canadians there from reports. 1978 tour along with No Security 1999 to me seems among the 'forgotten' tours for whatever reason though 1978 since more celebrated due to live in Texas DVD, I wish they'd release something official from No Security, another great tour. Seen every Stones tour since 1978 but for 1981 (in northern Canada then) and this one, though saw them in 2013 in Toronto rockin' show, they are playing essentially the same set. my brother and I thought of going to the Buffalo show this time, 37 years later! but traffic, it's a night show, we're old, ha ha whatever, we're not there! have fun everyone! thanks for tolerating this ramble.

Thanks Baldboy I was also there and knew that was the stage. thank you

hope your wife is getting better...

as for the photo, that's the 1978 stage from Rich Stadium, July 4, not 1975 when Stones played the old War Memorial arena where the hockey Sabres and basketball Braves played. My brother and I came down from the Toronto area for the Rich Stadium show along with thousands of Canadians as the Stones didn't hit Canada that tour due to Keith Richards' 1977 drug bust in Toronto ... our first concert ever, and it was our favorite band, the Stones, 1.5 hours of classics and a big middle section of Some Girls tunes, essentially the same show as the live in Texas DVD, short but very sweet... April Wine (we missed them, our tour bus stuck in traffic), Journey in the pre-Steve Perry somewhat psychadelic days and Atlanta Rhythm Section then big on their Champagne Jam album and So Into You single opened, afternoon show unlike tonight's...great memories and a somewhat forgotten tour, 1978, stripped down etc, until the release of live in Texas (somewhat like No Security, wish some official DVDs would be released of that tour, it's the outlier tour in that respect now and was a great one). Seen every Stones tour since 1978 but 1981 (was in northern Canada but it was the same, they didn't come to Canada and everyone in Ontario went to Buffalo for the show)...won't be there tonight, my brother and I thought of revisiting 37 years later but we're old, traffic, hassles, night show we'd get home at 4 am and we are dedicated Stones fans but saw them in 2013 in Toronto and they're playing the same set so...enjoy the evening folks, thanks for tolerating this ramble and double posting if it's a double posting (my first attempt didn't seem to go through).

Hmmm...
but it was on the internet.

all good in Stones' lore! cheers.

you know, Stones fans, I still swear the Stones opened that Buffalo show in 1978 with Bye Bye Johnny not Let It Rock though all set lists and Stones books say Let It Rock, but I dunno...anyway, was a great show. saw them in 79 Oshawa (near Toronto) for the blind show too.

My 25th show on my 55th birthday. Could be best birthday ever.

Ticketmaster has put up a couple large blocks of tickets for $118 with taxes and fees that says obstructed view. They have been up for awhile in sections 114 and 131. I took a chance and bought two. Now that Cristiano posted a pic of the stage, they look like great seats with an unobstructed view. I hope. If you look at the pic on the right side of the stage, the long section that extends up into the red section is next to the so called obstructed section directly to the left of that going toward the stage. That is section 131 and next to that is the empty section not being used. Section 131 and 114 appear to have perfectly clear views.

So I am off to the show!

Oh sweetie, no! S 131 is side-on, S 132 is even partly obstructed. I went to Guest Services at 6:00 and was told nothing available except obstructed view. Went in, saw my seat and was not happy - no Charlie. So. Went to another GS area - they sent me back to the end zone (opposite end of stadium) where one lonely guy is working. And nobody else there looking for upgrade. Eventually moved to Sec C, row 41. No active offer of upgrade and you really have to hunt for assistance. If stuck in 131/132 you deserve a rebate down to $118. Fight like hell for it!

great photos of the 78 and 15 set ups, and thanks for your story baldboy.

have a great night eveyone, and viva periscopers!

Hell yeah! Any seat that doesn't provide a view of Charlie should be considered obstructed view. That is a very good point.

Section C?! That's the front section on Keith's side right? I'd say you got a great upgrade from section 132, no? Good job girl. Have a great time.

The Stones did play Rich Stadium in 1975 but that picture looks like 1978.

Full props to St Paul m& the Broken Bones - they're really bringing it!

MickJagger Just going on stage in Buffalo, NY. Everyone here is over the moon about the England cricket win, well done lads! #ENGvsAUS #StonesBuffalo

no, they played War Memorial Aud. Rich Stadium was 1978 and 1981. 1975 tour was an arena tour, 78 and 81 football stadiums.
