I saw the Stones on their very first date in Detroit at Cobo Hall in 65. Sparsely attended. They hadn't broken big yet. Satisfaction had just been released. Overall I seen them about 6 or 7 times.
I have seen very few live concerts and very many plays. I guess words resonate with me more than music. Or at least I am willing to pay for it. Of course a lot of those plays were musicals. So both sometimes.
Until the last five years I would go to see live bands on a weekly basis. There are certain performers I have seen over 20 times-Springsteen, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, Alejandro Escovedo. Never cared much for plays. Remember being taken to The Heidi Chronicles which I believe won the Pulitzer and thinking this awful. Altho I saw a performance of M Butterfly which I liked at the Fisher. Hated Rent but liked Spamalot.

I like this song a lot.

They were already Very big in the UK, not that being given "I Wanna Be Your Man" by Lennon and McCartney in '64 hurt matters much for them.
Somehow, I think the band or certainly Andrew Oldham might approve of 69 as the age to really start digging them.
Been a big fan of the stones since I was in my late teens
