Well, the guy from Lincoln was right in regard to Ian Stewart. Those shows were the last with him on board. Count yourself lucky for having seen the band with their original pianist and co-founder.Quote

It's an anniversary of sorts for me, 38 years today since my first Stones stadium show at St.James Park Newcastle. Travelled down by bus from Glasgow with my girlfriend almost sick with excitement. It rained almost all day but what a show. Support was George Thorogood and J.Geils Band. I was only 18 at the time and even then The Stones seemed impossibly old in their late 30's/early 40's I remember I got talking to this older guy from Lincoln and he said with some confidence 'Oh yes, this'll be the last time we see them'. I remember thinking to myself how lucky I was to have caught this band before they vanished. Well folks here we are 38 years later and I've been to many Stones gigs since. And the amazing thing for me is, against all the odds me and The Stones are still rolling Anybody else here at this show?
