I disagree. I missed the Aud show but I've seen about all the 1975 show footage that exists, and between that and the Goodnight America boot and the audience reaction and my memories, 8-8-75 was a good show. It was held a lot higher in local legend than Rich Stadium 1978 (I was at that one, also, and it was better than the worst opinions say). Goodnight America documents that 8-8-75 was "sloppy good."

Andrews27, I'm looking at my photos now...the white jumpsuit was often covered with a red & white patterned light-weight jacket and he wore a gorgeous red, black, white and gold sash around his waist...very long. At one point, he took off the jacket to reveal the top that had straps..the sides were very open. In one shot, you can see his ribs.The back was open and multi-colored suspenders held up the pants. He briefly wore a short, black leather jacket over this outfit. He never wore those striped gauzy pants at this show. I have seen photos of him wearing those pants but not at this show. He also wore a black and gold sash/scarf around his neck along with the red multi-colored sash for awhile. Keith was all in black leather with white scarf around his neck. Ronnie was all in red with a jacket over it. Bill was in white jacket and pants with a red shirt under it. I should try to figure out how to post a few of these pictures.

Ah yes...Thanks for the memory refresh. Didn't a guy shimmy up a rope that was hanging at about mid-field too? I remember that caused a bit of a ruckus with security trying to get him down. I drove round trip that day from Binghamton NY.

The guy hanging from a wire connecting the two upper decks of Rich Stadium was in 1981

Wow, you had quite the experience too, ITSALLOVERNOW!! Are you talking about the dude who blew himself up?? Or the airplane?? It was NUTS! And I am still amazed that the crowd was generally so well behaved, considering the 9 hour WAIT!! I honestly had no idea that it was be 9:15 before the Stones came on..I went into the stadium with only a can of Pepsi...and I was directly in front of that stage ( general admission, remember!?) and I was NOT moving....kind folks gave me water. After the show, once back at the motel, I literallycrawled across thefloor to the fridge and drank an entire quart of orange juice! I was so dehydrated I couldn't walk.
WELLALRIGHT, I do hope to one day post pictures.
