When I was 13 years old the Rolling Stones made their first American tour. I was a huge fan & went to their first concert in Philadelphia. It was May 2nd 1965 in Convention Hall. The tickets were $4.75 each. It was a rather small building with a little stage like they had in my high school. All the seats were metal, fold up chairs. They had some other band come on stage first... to warm up the crowd I suppose. Nobody in the audience really cared about this group. We were all waiting for the Stones. I found the 'warm up band', along with the same song they sang that night, on YouTube. Here it is:
When the Stones came out, everyone went wild. Everyone took their fold up chair and closed it flat, then they were all thrown into a big pile. People climbed the giant chair pile. I was not climbing. I wanted to get pictures of Mick Jagger. I had my mother's black & white camera. I was pusing my way through the crowd of people that had pushed their way towards the stage. Somehow I got lifted up and all the people passed my body along over top of the crowd. I was set down right in front of the stage!!!!!!!! Only one problem, I was right in front of Bill Wyman. Not so thrilling for me. Mick was to my left. They were singing Get Off of My Cloud. I snapped a picture of Mick while he was standing with his arm stretched out, pointing at the crowd singing the lines "Hey, hey, you, you..." That photo disappeared many, many years ago. I may not have the photo, but I will always have my memories.
