Memphis in '78, I believe or '75???, there was a plan to bring an elephant(s) onstage but was scrapped. Mississippi Fred McDowel opened that show I think.

I don't think Mick fancied being upstaged by a pachyderm unexpectedly crapping on stage.

I can't see how the lotus stage would have supported their weight, especially on the fold down petals, they bounced a bit until they locked in place and even then were unsupported at the edges

It was 1975. They paid $2,200 for the elephant rental, but they were "subsequently not used," according the 1975 tour accounts that I was just looking at.

Those animals are abused to get them to perform, including being beaten with hooks. Keith is smart.
