I much prefer John Lennon to anything the Stones ever did.
More human, more in line with my own values after the ravages of the Empire in the last 60 years.
Only once do I feel I ever got took for a R n R show.
The Stones might as well held me up at gunpoint.
'76 Assembly Hall....Mick's Birthday....yippee.
It sucked.
Jagger was running around trying to undress Billy Preston and the band.
The sound was for crap, even without Mick interferring with the musicians.
The crowd was booing the Stones... almost stopped the show, twice.
IU crowd was very non-violent, far left but vocal
even for '76, but being ripped off for 15 bux in that day was a buncha ****.
A full tank of gas and a nice dinner and drinks in that day.
Twice the price of a Dead show of the same time frame.
Less than one tenth the show of the Dead.
To this day I don't buy Stones music.
I don't hold grudges, OK, very VERY rarely, and very provoked I do so.
But I never forget being used or taken.
