The back of Van Halen's cover to Diver Down was shot at the Orlando show
when they opened up for the Stones. Looks like the crowd was going crazy for Van Halen. Was anybody at that show?

Amazing - I must have said this 10 times already about this thread. Never seen the Van Halen pics of the Stones gig. In their prime.
As essential as Michael Anthony's sound and esp. his BU vocals were to the band, he just never quite looked as cool as the other 3.

Exilestones,
Oh My God...I was at the Nov 13th show...never seen any pictures of it until
this thread.
The fourth picture to the right of the Nov 13th pictures is taken from
exactly where I was seated...(without an actual seat)...at the bottom of
the stairs in the old RED Section at the tip of the stage.
I will never forget that show!
Thanks so much man...It's great to see these pictures!

Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman (far right) are enjoying a moment during the final bow at the ARMS Concert at Royal Albert Concert Hall in September 1983. Filmed during the A.R.M.S. Charity Concert, that took place at the Royal Albert Hall, London in September 1983, Eric Clapton leads a star-studded performance of “Layla” featuring; Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, Andy Fairweather-Low, Bill Wyman, Kenney Jones and Charlie Watts. The show’s abbreviated titles stood for; Action into Research for Multiple Sclerosis and was put together by Ronnie Lane, the ex-bassist for The Small Faces and The Faces, who himself had suffered from the condition. Although initially planned to be just a one off show, due to the overwhelming success, subsequent dates occurred in the United States, but with slightly different lineups. The London show was particularly notable for the fact that it was the first time Clapton, Beck and Page, (all former lead guitarists for The Yardbirds), had performed together on stage. Earlier in the evening, Jimmy Page performed a rare solo instrumental version of Led Zeppelin classic “Stairway to Heaven” which can be seen in the second of the two clips below.

I feel the same way about watching the Stones play "Tops" in Philly 1981.
I remember thinking that I hoped they would play a fast song. Now I think
that song is great, with it's warts and all! That's one thy need to bring back
like they did with "Worried About You."
There were some great parts! This could be a great live song!

Kent Meireis ++++++++++ BOOT CAMP: THE LAST TIME MICK TAYLOR SAT IN WITH THE STONES November 26, 2012 by Scott Bernstein Last night The Rolling Stones kicked off a celebration of their 50th Anniversary at the 02 Arena in London, where they filled the 23-song performance with rarities and guest spots. One of those guests was former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor who joined the band in 1969 before resigning in 1974. Yet yesterday wasn’t the first time Taylor performed with his old mates since he quit as he sat in for a large part of the Stones’ December 14, 1981 show at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City.
Taylor was in Kansas City for a gig with Alvin Lee leading to his guest spot at the Kemper. Ronnie Wood explained in his autobiography, “On the ’81 tour in Kansas City, we heard that Mick Taylor was in town we invited him up on stage for a few numbers. Perhaps the reunion over excited him. He seemed to refuse to realize how much the band had changed since his departure. He shocked us with how loud he was blasting it. Bulldozing through parts of songs that should have been subtle, ignoring the breaks and taking uninvited solos. And the volume! I thought me and Keith play loud, but he was easily three times louder than us. I was standing next to him, passing along messages from Keith who would say, ‘Tell that @#$%& to turn it down!’ I was a little more diplomatic: ‘Um, Mick, the song is finished’ or ‘It’s in E, not F.’ Afterwards, Keith told me, ‘It’s a good thing you were standing in between us or I’d have flattened him.’ But he’s a lovely man and it was great to see him.” Taylor was in Kansas City for a gig with Alvin Lee leading to his guest spot at the Kemper.

When you can make out Taylor’s guitar licks, he adds to the songs, he doesn’t take away from them. Mick T. stayed on stage during a number of tunes from after his tenure in the group and he must’ve turned his volume down as you can’t hear his distinctive tone on those songs. Taylor especially shines on You Can’t Always Get What You Want. [www.glidemagazine.com]
