Rick Miller - Stones production [or tour] manager?

hey there!

Has anyone heard of Rick Miller, or known what tour he would worked with the Stones on? I searched the IORR archive but his name did not come up even once.

The source that set me to wondering: Miller "was a production manager for the following artists: Aerosmith, Eric Carmen, Christopher Cross, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, The Jacksons, Ted Nugent, Lou Reed, The Rolling Stones, Santana, Bob Seger, Boz Scaggs, and Robin Trower" between 1970 and 1988.

thanks & Happy New Year!

From Rock and Roll of Fame

ARC-0054 Rick Miller Papers, 1970-1988, 2.0 l.f.
The Rick Miller Papers span the years 1970 to 1988. The collection consists of documents collected by Miller while he was a production manager for the following artists: Aerosmith, Eric Carmen, Christopher Cross, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, The Jacksons, Ted Nugent, Lou Reed, The Rolling Stones, Santana, Bob Seger, Boz Scaggs, and Robin Trower. The papers document the featured tours rather than the artists themselves and include riders, blueprints, stage plans, venue information and photographs, and lighting cues, as well as itineraries for the artists and crew, correspondence, contracts, artist requests, and carnets (merchandise passports). Miller's papers provide insight into the process of producing rock and roll concerts, specifically the aspects of administration and design.

Yup...as quoted above tongue sticking out smiley My question above asks whether anyone knows anything about him and what tour and in what capacity was he with the Stones?

I reckon this is not Rick Miller, the Canadian comedian smiling smiley

I didn't know, but my guess was that he had something to do with the 1978 or 81/82-tours. I see know that it was 1978.

Good detective work! thumbs up
