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.
Right, but I don't know where this rumor that they only played 30 minutes started. The day after the show somebody asked me about it and said, "Yeah, I heard they sucked and they only played 30 minutes..." Well, I would go on to see better shows, but I don't think they sucked and they played at least 90 minutes, not quite two hours anyway....

I meant '78, yes. The show was really short. I remember convincing some friends to go, we had to buy the tickets from a scalper, and the Stones came out and it was great, and then they abruptly left and everyone was so disappointed. Maybe it was more than 30 minutes, but I don't believe it was 90 (set list notwithstanding). I remember being shocked at how short the concert was. Mick being sick makes sense for such a short show.

I remember the disappointment I felt and I remember all the booing and throwing stuff on stage. There was a lot of booing.

If that's the case, I'm glad I was way up in the stands. Where I was there was no booing and the vibes were pretty good.

I was pretty far back-- nowhere near the front. It was only my third Stones concert, so I had no expectations about how long the show would be, but I remember being shocked at how short it was. It is the only Stones concert I have ever been to where the Stones got booed. The vibe had been great up until they just walked off the stage. It is strange how different our memories of that concert are. I figure we were both there on the same date but apparently in some kind of alternate universe scenario.

They did hold the United States indoor record with An estimated attendance of 87,000. George strait broke it in April of 2014 with 104,000 at AT&T stadium in Dallas.
I think Alice Cooper holds the world indoor record , São Paulo Brazil 1974 over 158,000 attended.
