Quotebv If you go to a Stones show nearby these days then it may be your last Stones show ever, unless you are prepared to travel. Then a question for those who did travel to see another show recently: Do you regret it? Personally by answer is simple: No, no regrets at all. 1st concert 1965. Walked to venue, under a mile. Paid for ticket out of pocket money. Last concert 2016. taxi, l

Loved watching this, til it jammed up outside the court. So evocative of the 60's in England. I often think back and wonder how we found this stuff out without the internet, but we always knew their 'feuding' was all a put up job by the press. Nothing much changes does it?
