Riffhard Actully Gerardo I think that may have been "The Cockroaches" second show. When the Stones played Atlanta in 1978 at the Fox Theater they went under the name The Cockroaches. In fact the tickets did not go on sale until three weeks before the show date. So to avoid a mad ruch at the ticket center the Stones and Alex Cooley Productions decided to "trick" people by selling the tix as the Cockroaches! It did not work! The tickets sold out in less than ten minutes. The Fox only seats 3,200. I still have my ticket stub. It's very rare and I've only seen about three of them since the show date. Sure enough it says Alex Cooley Presents "The Cockroaches".

Coincidently enough,the debut of Chucky also happened at The Fox Theater in Atlanta. I was also at that show. It was actully a better show than the 1978 Some Girls tour. That show was the loosest that I have ever seen the Stones.

we all think that. but chuck already had his place, he was dressed like a bodyguard at that time, he was payed by the CIA to investigate the stones,
and at that point in the show he yells with his Southern accent:

*the chorus is coming* and waves his masculin arm
