My very first Rolling Stones concert, and I thought it might be the only time I would have to see them.
Turns out there were nine more shows to go, up to the Zip Code tour.
There does not seem to be any kind of bootleg of even one song from this show, but I still keep my hopes up.
Anyone else out there at the Greensboro Coliseum on July 31, 1975, Tour of the Americas?

I was 15 and my brother and i were dropped off by my mom about 1pm too.
Festival seating was crazy.
My brother was younger than me so when we ran in we sat on the first row off the floor on Ronnie's side.
StonedAsia i think you said you had a boot from that record store in Chapel Hill. Would love to hear that one.

YOu beat me to it, Treacle. I also wasn't there (I was barely born) but am enjoying reading this reunion!

I was lucky to see the Stones the month before Greensboro at MSG when i was 14, so that was my first Stones show.
Smoked my first joint (strawberry rolling papers) with my buddies walking to the train station after High School on the way to the show.
My dad came in to the city and drove us home after the show.
Also saw Beach Boys & Chicago playing together sometime in spring '75 at MSG.
We moved to Greensboro, and i turned 15, in between the June NY show and July Greensboro show.
When we got to Greensboro i bought tickets for $25 each from the For Sale section of the local paper.
The Greensboro Coliseum was 20 minutes from our house and every band in the 70's came through Greensboro. Festival seating was nuts. I remember Les Zeppelin ('77?) when the crowd just busted through the lobby - glass doors breaking and the ticket takers at the turnstiles just ran away.
Great times.
Looking forward to Charlotte '21.
