| Known as "The Worlds Greatest Rock & Roll Band", the Rolling Stones concert began at 7:00 with opening acts the Dorothy Norwood singers and Stevie Wonder. The Stones took the stage soon afterwards, beginning the show with their latest hit "Brown Sugar". They continued to play the hits until 10:00, with Street Fighting Man, being the last song, and no encore. This concert was unlike any concert that I had attended at the time, with an exceptional stage and light show. They did however, decide not to play the early 60's hits on this tour, including their biggest hit "Satisfaction" Above: Pictures of the Rolling Stones taken by Pat Adams |

| England's Rolling Stones Leave Lasting Impression On Nashville The long-awaited concert by England's No. 1 rock group, the Rolling Stones, is over now, but the memory of their Nashville visit is sure to live. More than 9,600 persons jammed Municipal Auditorium Thursday night to watch the group, lead by gravel-voiced Mick Jagger, perfom for 90 minutes proceeded by soul singer Stevie Wonder and the Dorothy Norwood singers. The Stones, as they are affectionately know, sent out for three "barrels" of Kentucky Fried Chicken before bouncing on stage and causing the audience to stand on their chairs. A tidal wave of shouting erupted and Mick Jagger was suddenly jumping up and down like a jumping jack. Without delay the band struck up. And there's no denying it was the raunchiest, flashiest, most exciting rock and roll band in the country. The sound was deafening but apparently delightful. Jagger gyrated throughout the show dressed in a one-piece membrane-thin silk jump suit, white shoes, lavender sash, and a denim jacket. He kicked it off with one of their most popular songs "Brown Sugar" and the crowd didn't sit down until the show was over at 10 p.m.. Metro Police officers were on hand, at least 100 strong, and they had their share of headaches. Several incidents occurred during the show. One young girl, who was unidentified, apparently took an overdose of something and passed out on the Fifth Avenue North sidewalk minutes before the show began. She was admitted to General Hospital. Traffic Sgt. Gane Bryant was attempting to make his way through the smoke filled auditorium when he said he felt someone grab for his pistol. "I looked down and my gun holster was unbuckled." Patrolman Joe Hays said he had to stop one teen-ager with a flying tackle after the youth had kicked open a side entrance door and let four of his friends inside. Hays said he chased the youth up three ramps in the auditorium and finally grabbed him and tossed him out. More than 200 persons showed up at the auditorium expecting to see the performance, but were refused admittance when it was learned they had purchased counterfeit tickets. As it turned out, the tickets were printed for the same seats and everyone had bought seat number D-E3-5. "It is a shame," said Joe Sullivan, head of Sound 70 Productions, which brought the show to town. "They came here from all over, but we cannot let them in." Sullivan said most of the phony tickets originated in Louisville, Russellville, and Bowling Green Kentucky. Members the press were prohibited by the Rolling Stones private security force, from interviewing the stars, taking pictures, or being within 50 feet of the stage. |
