Found in a local junk-shop .......................

I was there! Though maybe not that night, I seem to remember they played several and my ticket's somewhere in the UK (with a bunch of other memorabilia).


I remember now, there was a postal ballot for tickets, and all my friends and I applied for the maximum and several of us including me got lucky. So we all went, and I think I may have gone twice. I remember my flat-mate getting home at about 1 a.m. and opening the door bellowing "Starf*cker Starf*cker Starf*cker . . " Happy days.)



Speaking of the 1976 tour of Europe:




accommodation requirements

(Who was Callaghan??)

Who was Callaghan??)

Jim Callaghan ...head of Stones security for a number of years



ROCKMAN

Completely forgot him--thanks.

Love the letter, Aquamarine, I looked up the names. Mick wanted to be a world famous tennis player, no surprise there...Keith a gardener and writer, pretty much what he became...Charlie dreamed of announcing cricket games, and Ronnie fancied himself an astronomer. It doesn't seem to say what Bill's alias was..any guesses?


Rockee, that's quite a find, that ticket...very cool.

I wonder how many times they used those names in 76?

Cool letter!

Yep I think I will order one copy very soon, the pics looks awesome !
Just one question Rockeee is there many spares , I mean for the pics with A boy from Tupelo book ??? just wonderin' ...

Not exactly sure what you mean there HM BUT..

Both book are essential ... Files has a slightly more detailed story
and is around $100 cheaper but does not include any CDs like A Boy From
Tupelo carried ... And there are 1400 rare photos compared to ABFT's 500 photos

Get it quick HM because I'd imagine Files is also a very limited number print run ...
