I was among the many hopefuls camping out in the parking lot for the Benefit concert in January '73 There was some serious waiting and stress about if the Stones would be given visa's.

Sadly, and with no shortage of irony here, Fogarty caused no less pain to his brother and bandmates than Zaentz inflicted on him(for his earlier mistake). While Fogarty lost millions on songwriter royalties, the band lost concert revenue and artist royalties, had they continued. JF did get wealthy non the less from his songwriter share per his legal entitlements.

Quotefloodonthepage Love Me Do Stones are my #1, but it took them a minute to catch up and indeed surpass. I agree, the few Beatle songs I like are the very early singles. When the Stones love of music led to songwriting and their own sound, the Beatles couldn't keep up, they couldn't even tour or continue.

The best way I can justify spending a high price for Stones tickets is to donate an equal amount to Charity. Not the corporate charities, but the home grown and hands on ones. I am pretty well networked so I'm most pleased with the results. I know many can't afford this, so I'm very lucky I can do this. If I couldn't do this, I'd still see the Stones, for sure.

So many cool songs predate Love Me Do, that are better imo. The Beatles came just when teeny boppers needed some out of control hysteria. Well done,lads.Thank God for the great British bands that soon followed.

Come On was the start for the Rolling Stones, and their amazing catalog, which they are still performing in 2022. The Beatles limped out after about 10 years. Love Me Do is a nod to Hey Baby.Not that original.
