Actually Kev, I reckon you'd be a perfect fit...suave, sophisticated, well bred, a clean living non swearing gentleman......oh...wait......

[mick7504]

Another 16 hours and I'm outa here. 

How's this whinging sheilas style who's having a fcuken sook about 'em doing a sound check tomorrow for the Stones which is gunna disrupt her cocktail violin performance that she has to cancel.
Life must be tough for a violinist when the Rolling Stones come to town.

Sounds as if she's a bit pissed off with the lads. 

[petercb750]

Have a good trip mick,  and enjoy those old pommy gits smashing out the tunes. I'm 80km south from the concert but I'll sit out the back and have a listen haha.
Now that it's happening I'm pissed off I'm not going.

[mick7504]

Thanks Pete.
I reckon that this will probably be the last time that we'll see them so it's a bit of a nostalgia thing I guess more than anything.

I can still remember seeing the Sticky Fingers album cover for the first time with the zipper.
The parents thought that it was a bit promiscuous for our young innocent minds way back then.
If only they knew what laid ahead.
And then we rocked up at home with brand new shiny Honda 750 Fours a few years later and didn't that piss 'em off. 

I think that the ol' man giving me an ear chew over that is called Tough Love. 

[petercb750]

My old man was pissed off when I came home with a brand new k2 in 1972, mum was in tears. ...for the first half hour I couldn't get the old man off it, just going around and around the block "testing" it to make sure I'd be "safe".
I don't think he was as pissed off as he made out 
My first album I bought was led zepplin 4, my folks were pissed off when I used to play it on the family HMV, so mum bought me some headphones.  I followed it up with mad dogs and englishmen. Happy days.

Another 16 hours and I'm outa here. 

Hard to be pissed off about that.

Not sure who I'd look for touring, stones once played right here, but I think I was out of town. That must have been 15 years ago.

Drove to Dallas touring the "NEW" album at   the Cotton Bowl.  Mick was forty and  we thought that was old to be running around onstage like that.

[mick7504]

They deserve a lot of credit I reckon mate.
50 years and still kicking goals.
And Keith is a bloody legend after administering every substance known to mankind and loving it.

Not exactly a role model in that department but hats off to him for hanging in there. 

[demon78]

Have fun Mick.
Bill the demon.

[faux fiddy]

Bla Bla Bla. I thought I saw them earlier, but I think it was steel wheels,

Okay, it was better part of a decade earlier.

[mick7504]

Thanks Bill.
Mum is coming along as well, complete with hearing aid and I've told her that she'd better turn down the volume switch when the boys start.

It should be a bit more civilised than what is was back in about 1973/4 when I last saw them with this strange smelling haze obliterating the atmosphere and the police paddy wagons overflowing with happy Rolling Stones revellers.

Was Billy Preston playing with them then? 

[mick7504]

I honestly can't remember mate.
Too much brain damage that night.

Mick Taylor is onboard this tour.
There isn't much info about that 70's tour that I can find.
It was at Memorial Drive in Adelaide.

Went and saw Rod Stewart there as well.
I managed to get within about 5 feet of him and Britt Eckland before the security gorillas spoilt the fun.

[faux fiddy]

I just looked this up. Billy Preston rocked that one in the cotton bowl in  '75,  I was too well underage to go at the time. 

I guess Leon Russel played with them at some point enough to have written Jumping Jack Flash.

 I have to agree with you odean 73 - I was at both of those Birmingham concerts and quite a few more on the 73 European tour and I thought Billy was great - his support act was fantastic, full of energy and such enthusiasm, also his contribution to the Stones albums was excellent although I do not personally rate Melody at all.

"till the next time..."

You probably saw Billy, it pisses me off that you don't remember him.

[mick7504]

Thanks for finding that mate.
Those days back in the late 60's and especially early to mid 70's were just full on with good music that everyone enjoyed.

Admittedly, there was a ton of dope and alcohol available wherever you went, but on the whole, people looked after each other and there wasn't much trouble.

That's just how it was back then and it pisses me off that the clock can't be wound back. 

[vfourfreak]

I am thinking of your adventure Mick, and to celebrate it, while refitting the carbs on the NC35, I cranked my garage system up to the max playing 19th nervous breakdown, Honky Tonk Woman and other tracks , much (I hope) to the consternation of my nearest neighbour (who is a prannet).

Have fun (oh and bring some condoms, just in case)

Ha ha, best of luck with that Mick, I watched the Stones concert in Hyde Park in London on Foxtel earlier this year, and there was plenty of women flashing their boobies, drunks falling over each other and poor folks sharing the one cigarette etc, I don't think much has changed since the "Good old Days". Keep an eye on your mum mate........

I've gotta drive to Canberra tomorrow, to do some stocktaking as part of the new contract's transitioning, then to Wagga Wagga next week to do the same,

G'Day Brian, I'd love to mate, I'll give you a call when I get sorted in Wagga. Cheers, Terry.


Geez mate, your going to be right next door.
Are you going to drop in for a beer?
Cheers,
Brian

The Rolling Stones were fcuking awsome.
What a night.
54,000 people and heaven and hell were rocking as well.
My mum rocked it with the best of 'em and then she got up early to sing in the choir this morning.
Jagger, Richards, Woods and Watts are timeless.
Mick Taylor came on about half way through and lit the joint up with his guitar when he joined the lads.

The new stadium at Adelaide Oval is a huge credit to this city.
It is magic.

Anyone that has an opportunity to see the Stones in  concert will be severley pissed off if they don't.   

[mrbreeze]

I saw them once in the 80's at a Day On The Green in Oakland, Ca. Gotta agree Mick......one band you don't wanna miss!!

[petercb750]

I'm pissed off that Terry's not here

The show that they put on the other night has to be right up with the best of 'em I reckon Fred.

Terry might have pissed off the interstate coppers when he crossed the border Pete which would explain why he isn't here.
