Would be great to hear some memories, if you remember enough to give a couple of lines
About the part of the show with Clapton, especially

Very hazy, I'm afraid - mid teens, discovered The Stones in 1975 via Made In The Shade and was hooked immediately
A mate gave me Beggars Banquet and (being the obsessive) bought the first 3 albums and the 3 EPs - don't think I had Black and Blue by the time of the concert
So 'real' Stones knowledge was limited and I was just starting to understand who Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, etc were and their importance
Applied for tickets by post, 1m application, 100,000 tickets - got 2 for Leicester
Went down, queued up early - big barn of a place, rushing in to get a good spot - tiered wooden benches to the right of the stage - very close
One of the "Sounds" mag covers that month featured The Stones and "Who or what are The Sex Pistols?"
The Meters were excellent for an hour and got warm applause. Fanfare For The Common Man sets the pulses going, KR out for the HTW intro...
Th band were loud and sounded great - hot, sweaty, exciting - and I didn't know half of the songs!
MJ on the snake, swinging over the audience, bump and grind with BP, whipping the stage during MR, water buckets in SFM
MR was awesome and, following that, the final 4 of IORR, BS, JJF and SFM is still my favourite way to finish a concert.
Remember EC coming on stage - but had no idea it was 'Key To The Highway' (all the EC fans the next day kept suggesting 'Crossroads'?)
According to the reports, he came back for JJF - I certainly recall him on SFM for the encore
Still have the programme and T-shirt - can't believe I ever fitted into that - must have shrunk!
Spent all my money for the next 3 years on Stones, Blues and punk records - and not doing very well academically!!
