DanvillRob Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 But Bob, I thought you were a bass player back then, not a drummer....????? Yeah.... THAT'S why she found the drummers more "interesting" maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 When I was a kid, I'd have given anything to spend a weekend on a Stones tour. Now, I'd probably look at the ladies...smile....fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I went to see the stones before I was old enough to drive, (I owned a car, but didn't have a license...and I drove it to the San Jose Civic Auditorium), I recall it was winter...so December 1965 Saw them again, (with Joan Baez and Jefferson Airplane before Grace Slick), at The Cow Palace...had to be 1966. The Cow Palace is a big venue...but the Civic Auditorium only holds like 3500 people. Your East Bay location in the mid-60's had to be the ideal spot for one of the greatest rock scenes ever: the Fillmore, the Avalon, and dozens of small venues. Not to mention the great bands, (including Peter Wheat and the Breadmen, of course, along with lesser lights such the Jefferson Airplane in the Signe Anderson days).

J200_2013 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Saw them in 1966 just after the release of Aftermath. I still remember vivdly their doing Under My Thumb. BUT...you're not talking about the real Rolling Stones without Brian Jones. The Richards/Jagger band was something different as Gram Parsons' ghost, if only it could be summoned from the vasty deep, could tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Just out of an all nite acoustic kitchen jam. Gibsons played : '04 J-45 Historic Collection. The Hummingbird. The '63 SJ. The '53 J-45 (sounded incredible tonite). The new necked '66 C&W. And my 12 fret. No Stones tunes, but good wine and a series of Jack D's. I'm pretty loaded folks. Appreciate you old rockers a lot. Zomby – you were there. You were all there. You younger lads also. Keep rockarollin' - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larryp58 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Well, I say handsome or ugly, young or old farts, The Stones bring it every time. The boys can play. I'll listen to 'em till they quit playing or die off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my mom to accompany me into the theater to see Gimmie Shelter, it was rated R with the movie "Klute" I think in 1971. Klute came on first..i wonder what went though my mom's old world Greek village head. She sat through that & left me there. After I saw Gimmie Shelter I was very reluctant to go to my first concert anywhere expecting that kind of s%#t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers She sat through "Klute" and wanted us to leave after that..but I insisted it was the Rolling Stones I was there to see. I wouldn't leave,she upped and left. I was about 12 or maybe 13 but really big for my age so they let me in under her supervision. She knew I was serious about the Beatles & the Rolling Stones..(as she went out looking for the Rolling stones album with "the cake" on it for me). I really didn't understand Klute much then except that the girl in it (Jane Fonda) had me mesmerized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember that they were in there a long time from what I read.. And this is what they wrote. I always thought this song sounded so amatuer (especially compared to what was coming out of Mr.Lennon & McCartney..). But I always thought it such a significant song. They had never done it before..starting with this amatuer thing..and within a year or two they were writing pure gold. Its really such an encouraging thing ,brilliance does not just come spitting out. P.S.I always thought Keith Richards background vocals were THE BEST I can't tell you how much better I hear it. Jagger double tracking himself was a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Richards/Jagger band was something different as Gram Parsons' ghost, if only it could be summoned from the vasty deep, could tell you. The "real" Rolling Stones started by Jones were a cover band trying to do American blues as authentically as possible. They had great success with that, but soon realized they would need original material in order to coninue. That's when Richards and Jagger began to take over the band as Jones couldn't write songs, and then later, as you say, Gram Parsons had a big effect on Richards. So, I guess the "real" Rolling Stones can mean different things to different people. Most Stones fans find their later 60s early 70s albums to be their best work, so I think it would be hard to say those weren't the "real" Stones...

I have always said if it were not for Mick Tayor the Rolling Stones would have disappeared with the 60's..(not a fact just the way I see it) They were a Blues band..then a very artistic Pop band...a Rock & Roll band...then I wish they'd not made another record. (I guess with Mick Taylor it includes Nicky Hopkins..Jimmy Miller..Gram Parsons..and all the other input..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
