I don't bother correcting people, as I really haven't come across anyone so insistent about their memory of a particular show or year.
Not every Stones or music fan is concerned about those kind of details...especially when it's regarding a concert from decades ago. I don't worry about it.

I’m the same way. Can’t help it, but I try to not be rude. A cousin of mine recently told someone, “Dave saw The Beatles at Dodgdr Stadium, with The Supremes opening”. I gently corrected him with, “The Ronettes”. He said, “Are you sure?”. I just smiled.
About 10 years ago, my wife and I took a tour of San Francisco. When we went to the Haight Ashbury district, the guide talked about the summer of ‘67, the “Summer of Love”. He rattled off a list of groups that were a part of the scene, including Led Zeppelin. I started to tell him that they didn’t exist as a group then but my wife stopped me. From that point on, I didn’t believe a word he said.

Was just talking with someone who said "I saw the Stones in '79 at Soldier Field in Chicago" and was like "No, it was '78" and we started fighting about it. He was like "No, I'm sure..." Man, I feel like a weirdo nerd at times like these. Anyone had similar discussions?

Dave- I’m pretty sure Led Zep was there for the ‘67 Summer of Love. I remember hangin at a Music Festival there where they played with The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Show was headlined by Paul Revere & the Raiders. Good times back then!

I talked to Slash on a call-in show one time and asked him about opening for The Stones in 1989...
Slash: "I'm pretty sure that was 1990."
Me: "No, it was 1989."
Slash: "Huh. Are you sure?"
Me: "Yes."

To be honest, in those kind of discussions/debates, I nearly always turn out to be the one that's wrong. It's amazing the things I look back on as fact and then realize I'm just remembering my own mistaken impressions. In the case of the Stones, for example, I'd have happily taken a $100 bet that they played Who's Driving Your Plane at the Albert Hall show in 1966 as I clearly remember them doing it. But they didn't.

nothing worse than talking to someone about a particular gig they went to,ask them the setlist and they not really sure. i knew this couple who for years went to many big gigs. queen, bowie, u2 etc, never really knew any of the setlists when asked. also someone said to me once they been to see the stones in 1980 at the apollo glasgow, i said are you sure what songs did they do, he didnt really know.
also annoying is meeting someone who claims to be a fan of the stones and has all the records, when all they really have is 2 compilation albums and have heard of 7 songs.
