QuoteDeltics According to the ticket, the show started at 2.30 PM and the review for the 1965 show indicated that it ran for three and half hours, I imagine that the 1964 concert would have been much the same.

A very appropriate dig by the great Steve Bell on the lamentable way The Stones (and it turned out later U2 and many many others) avoid paying tax). (And if anyone can tell me why it does not show up as an image in the way the first posting here does, I'd be more than grateful).

Given that Shirley (& Charlie) have had a long interest in horses there's a jolly good chance that they will be there. I'd guess that the biggest factors would be security (not the badly thought out mania/hysteria we have here at the moment, but the general issue of mega-stars in public places) and the possible impact on preparations for the next day's show.

I think that ROCKMAN has got it wrong there. The book he points to is not, as the original poster says, "displaying all the words and comments from MJ between the songs captured live" It's good, but it's nothing more than a trawl through cuttings files picking up a load of quotes. I did read ages ago about someone doing a book of the actual words between songs, but ha
