Wasn't the Live Aid show played at JFK?

The USA part of Live Aid was at JFK

BTW, JFK was also the site of FDR's famed '4 Freedoms' speech.

The stadium had an interesting history, but the '78 Stones concert is notable only for a rare 1970s performance of Satisfaction, and for being one of the worst shows they ever played.

at the june 17 1978 show at jfk did jagger wear the black plastic pants and yellow tux jacket only for that show or did he wear it at others. anybody

Still working on finding the answer to this important question.

Waht's with sirspamalot?

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

It was 78 so I guess it was 50% cotton and 50% polyester...
Had it been 72 it would have certainly been 100% cotton!

I apologize for bumping all those "dariog" threads, but when I looked at his posting history, and saw that in four years and over 100 posts he has never posted about anything other than jkf june 17 1978, my head exploded.

splattered all over, manhattan?

In the book "Old Gods Almost Dead" talks about the '78 tour outfit,dubbed as the "F train" look.
The book describes it as Mick's concept of cheap disco fashion,consisting of
Puerto Rican trousesrs,After Six dinner jackets,and Kangol cap.

I remember he had on a cute little white hat.

when they opened for the stones on that day did they get really pissed after the objects started to fly at them i heard it was tomatoes and beer bottles.

Your ongoing obsession with 1978 is getting a little weird.

foreniger?

well who cares if its getting weird tatters dont read it then or comment. ok some people were there and saw it just wanted to here some stories.

did they run for cover.

no they finished the set but there was alot of ducking, lol

I don't recall objects thrown at Foreigner, they played a good set,I was right up front and when they sang " I'll leave you my key", the lead singer tossed hotel keys into the crowd. That was no doubt the WORST CROWD I'd ever been in at a Stones concert! Very, very drunk, very aggitated and the pushing kept up throughout the show, especialy when the Stones came on. When Mick sang Faraway Eyes" I was nearly killed! Really! Some nice kid actually held me up because I was being bent over and about to hit the ground! He saved me! A nasty day in my Stones history.

yes plus the stones set was a bit short compared to other 78 shows as far as running quickly through the numbers

I think the reason it was so short was that Mick was pretty ill--they almost considered cancelling the show. My buddy's brother went to this show and at the time it seemed so wild that someone was actually going to SEE the Rolling Stones. The fact that we were from NY and the show was in Philly only added to the mystique.

I thought that Peter Tosh was on the receiving end of the really shabby treatment from the fans.

Was this the only '78 show where they played Satisfaction?

No..they performed it in Chicago and San Francisco to. The philly version is a very good punk version.

Rooster---I knew you would be able to answer a ? regarding the '78 tour!

Thanks.

I like the Philly version also--pretty different and very cool.

actually i think they (foreigner) were pissed at LBJ.
