Well, i didnt know about the Eagles and Bob Marley. Unreal. |
|
|
| Happy Motherfucker!! |
Why, do you have something against Bob Marley? Shit, reggae has always been a favorite music of Keith and he regularly hangs with the Rasta men while in Jamaica. |

Rufus (June 6 - 9, 18)
The Crusaders (June 11 - 12, 15 - 18, July 23 - 26)
I remember Chaka Khan and Rufus at the June 18 show in Toronto but not The Crusaders as well.
Was this the only time they played Luxury? |

In Cleveland, on June 14, in addition to Tower Of Power and The J. Geils Band, there was a third group. Actually the first to come on. It was The Joe Vitale Band. He was/had been the drummer for Barnstorm, Joe Walsh's band. I'm pretty sure he was from the Cleveland area, which would make sense. It was a five piece band. |

Karnbach's info obviously isnt complete in this case, so keep them comin'!
That tour was a lot before my time as I didnt see them until the '82 European tour (and even then he lists the support act for Slane 24.7.82 - the show I was at - as "J. Geils band" - when George Thorogood & The Destroyers and The Chieftains (yep) were also on the bill)
For the '75 shows, it seems that the stadium shows tended to have several bands on the bill |

I saw the Buffalo show and have the Buffalo & Boston boots so I suppose I should have remembered. Looks like just the first part of the 75 tour. Luxury is definitely a song that should be brought back in 05!!! |

Is it true that santana has opened for them more than any other band? |
|
|
| Gazza |
Santana have opened for the Stones on probably more TOURS than any other band, dont know about actual concerts |

I saw them in 97 open at the Citrus Bowl..It was before Santana had that ridiculously successful pop album with the helpof Rob Thomas...sadly, it didn't work for Mick..but yes, I think Santanna opened more shows than any other band...can someone please verify.. |

well, Santana played on the same bill at Altamont in 1969, the Nicaraguan Benefit in LA in 1973, Oakland in 1978, two shows in Pontiac, Mi in 1981 and those shows you saw them in in 1997. As you can see, generally they were an opening act only once or twice per tour.
Living Colour did the whole US Tour in 1989, apart from the only indoor gigs which were those at Atlantic City at the end of the tour, so that must be almost 50 shows.
Stevie Wonder did the 1972 tour, again around 50 shows.
Then theres the J Geils Band. Aside from those 1975 dates listed above, they did about half a dozen shows on the west coast in 1981 plus all of the 1982 European tour from the official opener in Rotterdam onwards (they didnt play the theatre gigs in Scotland prior to that, it was a local band called TV21, although Karnbach mistakenly states that it was George Thorogood)
Ike & Tina Turner not only opened at around 15 shows on the US Tour in 1969, but also were on the same bill throughout the Sept - October 1966 UK tour, around 24 more shows (two each day)
A lot of those early UK tours were often about 30-40 shows in length, with two gigs played per day and multiple acts on the bill so theres lots of bands from around that time who would have played numerous shows as opening acts.
The Swinging Blue Jeans - a Merseybeat era group who had a big hit with "Hippy Hippy Shake" did over 60 shows on the 2nd and 3rd British Tours at the start of 1964.
The 3rd UK tour (Feb - March '64) and the 4th British Tour from April-May '64 each featured about 60 shows with most of the opening acts being there for pretty much the whole tour, such as John leyton, Mike Berry, The Innocents, Jet Harris et al for the 3rd UK tour and David John & The Mood, Julie Grant, Peter & Gordon, The Barron Knights and The Overlanders for the 4th tour..
However, I reckon the overall winners are two guys named Berry - and neither of them was the guy who wrote "Johnny B Goode" (although he HAS opened for the Stones on several occasions in the 60's)
Second is probably Dave Berry & The Cruisers - around 36 shows on the 2nd UK tour (Jan - Feb '64) and then the 28 shows of the 6th UK tour of March 1965.
Runaway winner however is Mike Berry - he did some 62 shows on the 3rd UK tour in 1964 and then returned for the 5th UK tour from Sept- Oct. 1964 - another 60 shows.
For trivia fans : After a few hits in the early/mid 60's he returned with a couple of hits in the late 70's before appearing in the last few series of the BBC sitcom "Are You Being Served" as Mr Spooner.

Thanks..obviously it can't be Santanna as you have pointed out..I wonder why I was so misled? |

What happened when the Eagles opened? Was it mayhem? Aggravated mayhem? Were the Eagles escorted off under heavy guard?
Damn, I'm surprised they made it out alive. We Fans O' Stones missed a real opportunity there. |

blame the Beatles. You'll feel better. Trust me.

The problem was that back in 1975 they werent as huge as they later became, so there wouldnt have been the "anti Eagles backlash" and violent reaction that would have surely and (IMHO) quite justifiably occurred from lovers of good music had they appeared on the bill several years later.
However, I agree that the otherwise good citizens of Kansa City, Milwaukee and Dallas missed a great opportunity to deliver a message

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. What about Lynard Skynard? I thought the famous live clip of them doing Sweet Home Alabama was from the 75 tour? Or was it the 76 Euro tour? Oh i dunno, its just in that Skynard clip, the stage looks like a tongue. |

i think skynyrd played before the stones at knebworth (sp?) in 75 or 76. i also think that this footage is featured prominently in the movie "free bird" |

Correct, and they kicked major butt that day. In 75, LS was right up there with The Who, Stones, and Zep. Sadly, the remains of the band have done nothing but tarnish their legacy. |
|
|
| corgi37 |
Yeah, Knebworth. That must be it. Is that the gig the Stones did their longest ever set? I have a pretty crappy cd of a Stones Knebworth show. I dont play it much. But, paid $5.00 for it, so who can argue with that? |
|
|
| Gazza |
They played for close on two and a half hours that day and played more songs than any other show theyve done (30 I think, if you count the few bars of "country honk") but I think a couple of the early "Steel wheels" tour shows (Philly 31.8.89) may have actually been longer in duration as have a few others since, up to as late as 1998..
and yes, that Skynyrd clip is indeed from Knebworth '76
