1. Maine
2. New Hampshire
3. Vermont
4. Mississippi
5. West Virginia
6. Wyoming
7. South Dakota

A shame about Mississippi - home of the Delta Blues.

I thought Hampton Roads was in West Virginia

no, it's in East Virginia....

Virginia.

DE. must have been pre-1969.

Hampton Rhodes is in Sweet Virginia....yes, a shame about never playing Mississippi...

Oh jeez...NO, the Stones have never played in Delaware (the 9th unplayed state)!! Thank you "Theif in the Night"!!

What about Rhonde Island?

er...Rhode

help me, Rhonde...help, help me.....

They should play the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, SD. It could be like Altamont only with more bikes and less hippies.

and more buffalos

Keith plays in an altered state every night.

So, to make up for it, the band will play small clubs in each of these states.

It'll be called the "Undiscovered Country" tour. LOL.

Oh, well, at least West Virginia WAS mentioned in one Stones song -- we all know what that one is, now don't we?

Here's a joke that the folks at Buffalochip Sturgis,SD hate...

What's the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

- The placement of the dirtbag

Looking down a 44 in West Virginia.
Dang right.

played there in 1965 - and got arrested there in 1972!

Oh thanks Gazza I was not aware of that.

And whats the story about the '72 arrest? I've never heard of that either...do tell

The Stones were at an airport at Warwick, RI en route to their show at the Boston Garden on 18th July when a photographer kept plaguing them so much for photos that Keith whacked him. Mick's protests got him arrested as well, and three of their entourage/security people were carted off too.

They were all thrown in the local jail, but after a bit of negotiation, released and made it to the venue some five hours late. On a night where there were riots across Boston, miraculously the fans didnt tear the place apart, thanks mainly to a bit of showmanship from the local mayor who announced to the crowd that the band were in jail, he'd got them released and that as a gesture from the fans he was asking them to behave if he took some of the on duty police from the garden to other parts of the city where they were urgently needed.

The story is told in riveting fashion in Bob Greenfield's "STP : Journey through america with the Rolling Stones" book on the '72 tour

Thanks for the info Gazza. I'll have to check that book out.

If redrum edits the original post, adding Delaware, is that the correct list? 9 states?

Delaware also has been mentioned in a Stones song.
