To "The Sicilian" I would like to say: study all the setlists - in combination with the locations - available and analyse theme carefully. You will find that the Rolling Stones really do have an ear for the diehard fans! Check out some USA or European clubshows, for instance for a start. The Stones for sure listen! But greed is never welcome anywhere ...

HI 2000LYFH, nice list, but the one who made it up clearly was either drunk or not present at those Bristol shows. I was there ( hitchhiked from Liverpool on the 8th) and the Stones' encore was Street Fighting Man! They didn't play sixteen songs either! No CYHMK, no PS.

Hi JP, I do not recall that US fan and I agree it would have been noticeable because the audience was very quiet to start with. Things got "on the move" with Midnight Rambler.

It was a big, happy party of dancing people in the street. I even still have the (tiny) 75 p ticket

Hi Deltics, I went over Ernie Cefalu's spoken interview several times. It puzzles me, because he says that John Pasche came after his version of february 1971. At the same time Ernie is not quite sure about the dates. FACT is that JP's original creation is medio 1970 and NOT 1971 (and so not created after Ernie's result). Also Ernie talks about a guy named Chuch (a roadie). Ther

We Stones fans always wanna know "for sure". I googled on "red lips" as well as "lips & tongue" and it's amazing to see how many images there are.

I am pretty sure that Pasche's logo with thick tongue was earlier than Cefalu's' but it could very well be that Pasche modified his original design after having seen Cefalu's design. I also remember buying a Cefalu design logo pin many decades ago, thinking it was a counterfeit, but his interview made me think different.

Any interview with John Pasche goes accompanied with the Sticky Fingers inlay version of the logo. V&A museum eventually bought that image. Compare the logo on the backside of the SF sleeve with Ernie Cefalu's image and you notice that it has two white stripes on a slimmer tongue and more black is added. Coincidence or inspiration???
