The Brisbane show was my 3rd ever Stones show (after the two in Sydney). I was 24 years old and Inwas so incredibly excited that the Stones were back in Australia for the first time in 22 years. I had a seat quite a long way back in the stands. My fondest memory of that night was the guy next to me who was probably about 50 (then) with his son who was about 10 years old. Before the show the guy was quite serious, trying to explain to his son about the Stones and what to expect. The said was quite reserved and serious.....but went the Stones came on and started playing "Not Fade Away" the guy lost it - all of a sudden he was 15 years old again. It was really cool to see.
Now I am 45 years old and I have an 8 year old son and I think that quite soon (if we are lucky)we may get to see the Stones in the UK again and I will take my son with me and I will be just like that dad that I sAw in Brisbane 21 years ago...

It's a thrill to introduce yer kids to the Stones. I took my two boys to see the Stones in 2005 and they loved it. They were 11 & 9 at the time!

Philly. July 1972. Won the ticket on WIBG. Ticket price, with tax, was $6.50.
Question for all you Philly fans-- anybody know why the June 17, 1976 JFK concert was so short? They only played for about 30 minutes, then abruptly left the stage. The crowd was quite pissed and people threw all kinds of trash onto the stage. It was a disappointing concert. No internet back then. I always wondered why they did such a truncated show that night.

I'm assuming you mean June 17, 1978. I was there. They played the same length set as other shows on the tour. They played about 18 songs, including Satisfaction, which didn't get played every time in 1978. I was pretty far from the stage so if there was any throwing of garbage, I didn't see it. It wasn't their best performance but from where I was, the crowd was digging it and all the vibes were positive.

They almost canceled this show cause Mick was ill. I was there too.
