Hey, LL71!How's it going!
That is a great website on the STP tour. Have you ever read the book S.T.P.: A Journey Through America With The Rolling Stones by Robert Greenfield? If you read that book, watch Cocksucker Blues and Ladies & Gentlemen and listen to the boots and Exile over and over you can almost put yourself there. I truly believe that 1972 was a watershed year for all of rock music, the last hurrah for somewhat wild, anarchic rock and roll that nevertheless created record sales and which was replaced starting in 73 by corporate managed, market driven rock.
p.s thanks for the Albany Mp3 links- |

Yes, those are great links and are permanently in our links for photos since some years ago.
Stoneslib is a regular here, he has also provided great headers, many of them premiered here as a header before going to his website.
He's the kind of regulars who does not post often but a post by him worths 1K of posts (no pun intended just giving the right weight to his messages)

I can't believe some of those great 72 photos! Oh man, brings back some great memories for me at RFK Stadium on July 4, 1972. I was just 14 years old when I had my Stones cherry popped and saw them for the first time. My older cousin (he was 18 yrs. old) took me to the show. I didn't even know the Stones very well (beyond the AM hits that I grew up listening to on WPGC 1580 AM).
Well, the rest was history and here I am at 47 years old and still loving the band! |

The greatest moment from the 72 tour has to be the one/two punch of the two guitar solos from Mick Taylor during Love In Vain. Some of the best lead guitar runs ever produced on a concert stage. Certainly as good as Clapton, Hendrix, Santana, Duane Allman to my ears.
Thank God for the 72 tour boots!
