In 1967 (had just started a tough and very intens study) I totally missed out on an announcement that the Stones were doing one show in March. I was very, very pi*sed with myself.
Two years later I had arranged a boat trip to Harwich to go and see the Rolling Stones in Hyde park in 1969. When I woke up on the morning of July 3rd the media came with the news that Brian Jones had died in his swimming pool during the night. Even though Brian had left the band only weeks before, I was devastated. I could't find any excuse to go to London anymore, so I didn't (!).
So finally when the band came to Amsterdam on October 9 1970 I experienced my first live concert with the band.
Great setlist:
Jumping Jack Flash
Roll over Beethoven (!)
Sympathy for the Devil
Stray Cat Blues (!)
Love in Vain
Dead Flowers
Midnight Rambler (!)
Live with Me
Let it Rock
Little Queenie (!)
Brown Sugar (!!!)
Honky Tonk Woman
Street Fighting Man (my favourite at the time)
