..mine was MSG '72 when you had to send in postcards to get "picked" to get tickets..I sent in the postcards that were enclosed in Exile and was so happy to get picked. Stevie Wonder opened for them and I sat in the nosebleed seats..but at 16, I didn't care one bit. They brought out a big cake for Mick, since it was his birthday.
1990 Frankfurt... there were fences we had to climb, hehehe Mick stinged the balls of that wild dograt And my God, they actually played "2000 light years from home"...
Wooo hooo, and the weed was good. I remember Bill Wyman played bass for me in Oslo the same year, "Tumbling dice" just for me alone!

The infamous 6 hour club gig in London in 1963. Actually they played for only 45 minutes and did coke and smoked several packs of Luckies the rest of the time.
Seattle Kingdome, October 15, 1981. I remember how odd it was that this show started at 3pm on a weekday, with the Stones going onstage at 6pm. The whole show was over by a little after 8pm. This was the second show, added after the first one on the 14th sold out quickly. We were told the reason for the real early start time, was that they needed these extra hours for the stage and/or crew to make it to San Francisco for the show 2 days later.
Chicago Amphitheater- evening show 1969. Opened by Terry Reid and followed by the man himself Chuck Berry. Stunning. Got my tickets via mail order leaving plenty to trust. God were the boys great on that tour or what?
First night in Tokyo 1990 followd by both nights in munich 1990

October 6th 1973! Exactly 32 years ago. In Gothenburg. The Stones did two shows, one in the afternoon, one at the night. I was at the first one.
Billy Preston was opening act. Mick was all over the place. From start to end. Keith didn't move much but was very concentrated at banging out the chords. No posong. Bill and Mick Taylor hardly moved at all. Taylor played a lotsa slide but seemed to be in his own world. If they'd play wireless at that time he could've been sitting in the dressing playing. But don't think I mean it wasn't good. Taylor was fantastic, he just looked to be aside. Amazing show and awesome job of everyone. Ticket price 40 SEK = ca 4 euro.
My 1st show was in london hyde park,poor brian jones had died and mick taylor was introduced to the world,stones were rusty but what a day to remember and top that we were given free single of HONKY TONK WOMEN for helping collectin a black bag full of rubbish.THAT WAS 1969 AND STONES ARE STILL ROCKING.KISH.
my 1st stones show was the voodoo lounge concert Brisbane Australia i went on a bus for 14 hours from Mackay to Brisbane took 20 joints with me and i sat up in the Voodoo lounge area the 60$ seats.the support band was the cruel sea.
the opening song was not fade away.when they came on i almost wet myself i was that excited.just like i dreamed they would be.i sang to all the songs they played.
