Weirdly they had no business playing Street Fighting Man on that tour. Similar to not playing Midnight Rambler - fortunately.

JJF and Satisfaction were sub-pedestrian at best.

There were a couple of tracks they did that sounded weirdly outdated, like @#$%&, Down the Road Apiece, All Down the Line and Street Fighting Man. They just didn't seem to fit the band at the time.

Happy 20th Birthday "Rolling Stones 1981-1982 Wardrobes"

And Happy Birthday to exilestones the father of this huge successful thread founded in 6 Feb. 2016.

One of the biggest hits ever here on IORR.

And still going strong.

Because we can't get enough of the tour that connects us all here the most.

I'd love to have a professionally mixed version of this great version of Brown Sugar. It rocks!

I checked various boots for this performance of Brown Sugar. The sound and mix were not great. This news report seems to be the best.

That newscast of the SF show is funny.

This thread is one of my favorite ones. Every time I come here, the memories of the shows, I saw in 82 come back. It was my first Stones tour.
They still were rough and wild.
Thanks to everyone, who posted pictures in this thread!

Fanks exilestones ....
