If Dodger sells out relatively quickly, I believe the Forum will happen on November 20. I'm living for this possibility.

Rooster, I appreciate your passion. On the bright side, we'll ALWAYS have the vinyl, CDs, DVDs etc -- and a hell of a lot of great memories. I feel sorry for the dopes that spend their dough on music and have never seen The Rolling Stones. Or even ATTEMPTED TO!

Magenta and Dave, wouldn't you say that second show was one of the greatest musical experiences of your entire life? I believe this was the show that was delayed by a sports event earlier and I remember that virtually no one in the 20,000 crowd would have considered leaving. When the Stones came on it was THRILLING. After the show most of my friends wouldn't have considered g

Yes, Dave, those 1969 gigs at the Forum were magic. For the band as well as the audience. It was a different world then when nothing was more exciting than a great Stones gig. Even though some of the "warhorses" (HATE that word but it unfortunately fits) were damned terrific at the Bowl last November. I think some of us yearn for one more great evening of half blues, half rock w

Great story re "Shoe City." Maybe I'm wrong but I do believe the excitment, the thrill of discovery, the freshness of the music and the performance was generally more overwhelming in the sixties. I often buy "Flashpoint" CD since it's a mere $6.99 at Tower and give it to various teenagers I know in US and Europe. Once they hear it they wanna go see the band. An

Yes, was aware of the Rose Palace and the Zep gig that night is somewhat legendary for people who were there. I wasn't. Pasadena was a long drive... Zeppelin, their manager and tour manager were wild ones, to put in nicely. Nice "nice" boys like the Stones and company! The Stones concert at Hollywood Bowl last November had a great mixture of audience -- people who'd

Your brother must be a cool cat. That was a great show. The entire audience just fell in love with Jimi and the next year he played there kids "rushed the stage" as though they just couldn't help themselves. That was the beginning of "mosh pits," I suppose. Very little security, who didn't know how to handle it. As a teenager I used to go to the Forum a lot

Did anyone see the Stones perform in Los Angeles in the sixties? Any memories? Comparisons to today?
Forum: Tell Me

Y'all have some wonderful memorabilia. I was the stupid person who brought my sister one of the first copies of Beggar's Banquet from London full autographed to her by each Stone including Brian. WHY was I so generous? But, yet, I wouldn't trade the memories of wonderful live concerts for anything or the teenage thrill of the first playing of any new Stones single on KHJ

Many thanks to LetitLoose and BV for their wonderful impressions of the Glasgow gig. When you're melting in the sun of Los Angeles and wishing you were in freezing Glasgow, it's great to get the feedback. I've seen the Stones be brilliant many times but always the emotion counted more than technique...for me anyway. Musicians and their technique are ever at the mercy of the

Thanks for photos Dominick. Jagger looks fired up.

Will be looking forward to Singer Not The Song's reaction to seeing the band for the first time. As a teenager I saw Dylan and when he sang, "You know something's happening but you don't know what it is," I sat there and thought, "No I don't" But a year later when I saw the Stones at Royal Albert Hall, their first gig there, within ten minutes I

Hilburn's review did not run until after the Stones played the Hollywood Bowl on November 6. From privileged info, I am not alone in believing that his opinions had nothing to do with the set list. The Bowl concerts were fabulous, strongly led by Mick and Charlie. "Back of My Hand" on November 6 was amazing. Muddy Waters would have been very proud of his boys.
