LeonidP.........I meant I was there in 1966, but not where GLIYWI was recorded.
I went to the 1st show in Birmingham, England in October 1966. Ike & Tina Turner Revue, and The Yardbirds (with both Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck in the band).
My mother took a day off work and went into Birmingham by train and queued at the Odeon Theatre box office for the tickets. It was all seated in a theatre, sitting in the stalls about 25 rows back from the stage. The whole show was great, but those were still the days when the girls all screamed at the stage. Seeing Brian playing the dulcimer on "Lady Jane" and hearing "Paint It Black" live were highlights.
That was not my first Stones show. I first saw and heard of the Stones when they made their first TV appearance with "Come On".......they looked and sounded so different,..... I was hooked from the start.
My first Stones' concert was in Rugby, England in March 1965 and that is still the best Stones' concert I have ever been to......but thats another story.
I have posted about that concert on iorr some years ago, so you may be able to find it if you search.

This whole era is sadly underrepresented in terms of LIVE output. It would be great if the band and ABKCO could come together to agree on releasing whatever live material they may be able to package.
Not sure what the demand would be for this time period but from a historical perspective it would be great. But I know the accountants aren't overly concerned about the "historical perspective".

That's a very good idea Ironbelly.
Do you have a contact number ??
I was of course originally thinking of someone perhaps from this web site.
The people who removed the copyright protection bleeps did a very very good job and might be interested in this as a project.
To hear a "clean" 1966 live Stones' concert would be great, particularly because I was there.
Alternatively if anyone has Giles Martin's phone number or email........let me know.

They always need product. I think that's how we finally got the BBC released. That was helped immensely by forward strides in technology. I imagine the same could be done for various mid-60s live Stones, the '66 American tour, the '67 Europe.

Ah ok. Still great story! I'm sure you told some of your Stones history before but I suppose I missed them. I've always wondered how many were fans in the beginning and still stick around on the forums. To me, you're a legend!
BTW, I started in '78 (or was it '79?), never really knew of the Stones (I was into Jim Croce, ELO, Kiss), and then saw the Stones make their SNL appearance - Shattered is the one that started my Stones journey.

The fake crowd noise totally ruins the great performances for me. Seems like some of it is on a loop, which makes it extra hard to get over. Totally terrible idea to add fake crowd noises. I'd buy one without the noise, for sure.

I really enjoy reading how diehard fans like me first became enamored with the Stones and their music, especially the ones that arrived after the 62-72 era or far into the so-called post 89 Vegas era. I started like many with the British Invasion as a pre-teen in Michigan USA. At first they were just another group amidst the crowd of blues/beat/pop invaders. I became hooked with It's All Over now with in-your-face vocals and guitars.
