Keith was busted with acid when he ran his car off the road after playing in Stoke ... what was it 1973? I thought then it seemed an odd choice (in '73) for an Opiates Fan but he said he just liked a lick to give things "a bit of sparkle".
So I think you can safely say Stoke On Trent was such a show.

Not the Stones, but at a show in January of 1970, I went to see Eric Burton and War, Alice Cooper, and Lee Michaels. Michaels seemed to be stoned at all of his shows (if you're unfamiliar with him, he played a Hammond B3 and had a LARGE drummer). His shows were incredible. On this particular night, he was obviously high, presumably on LSD. A few minutes into the first number, he suddenly seemed to not know what was going on or where he was and had a look of panic on his face. His drummer, Frosty, looked pissed at him and tried to keep things going but Michaels was pretty much lost. At the end of the number someone yelled out, "O.D.", to which Michaels responded with a "I know". It was really bad and sad at the same time. He tried to complete the show, but he was really messed up. (Of course, I was probably on LSD at the time, so I may have been hallucinating!!) But, it was all too real and my idea of psychedelics changed from that time on. Some musicians could handle being on psychedelics and performing, others could not.

Thanks Dave. Very peculiar and vivid memories.
I was quite entertained by your report, so I looked for any show in January 1970 with the same bill.
Here what I found.
You may like it. Amateur photos are priceless.
