Suddenly feel old

I saw them in the 80s in my teens. They were amazing! ?

I have never liked the stones or their music.

Saw the Stones in Cardiff on their 1964 tour.
Couldn't afford a ticket so went down to see if I could catch a glimpse of them. Walked boldly into the foyer saying my friend over there had my ticket, asked a guy carrying two hotdogs if I could carry one in for him, then legged it to the front row where I stayed until the end as nobody sat in their seats anyway. Where there's a will there's a way - still my motto

Think you've tapped into the Zeitgeist with this thread esspee ..just this morning I woke up feeling 90 when normally I don't feel TOO bad. I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing to remember all the brilliant bands from our youth lol! We were so lucky to have such fantastic music. In my early teens all of the giant bands of the time - the Beatles/Stones/Small Faces/Yardbirds etc all did appearances that were getable to in the North West and later on when I was 16-17 we used to go to the twisted wheel in Manchester so i got to see the legendary Motown/Stax etc artists whose music I loved then and still do today. Can't move n groove like I once could tho sadly ?!

Ah! The Twisted Wheel, fond memories, thanks patricia, I'd forgotten about that.

One of few regrets, I never went to a Stones concert. Tried to get tickets for the O2 but they sold out in 3 minutes and the cheapest was over £100.

I saw them at the Greenford Granada in around springtime 1965. Went with my new boyfriend who became my husband in 1967. The Granada was a cinema but still had a stage and the screen rolled up and out of the way for stage use. Can remember that everyone had a seat and stayed sitting in them!

I saw the Rolling Stones twice, in 1966 and 1967 (i think!) at the Romford Odeon -- they were on one of those large rock n roll tours with loads of artists, supported by the Hollies, Ike and Tina Turner and Dave Berry amongst others whose names, er, escape me.
You could hardly hear them at all because of all the screaming. But I still clearly remember Mick Jagger dancing on the stage and in fact I wrote an essay on the event for my A level English exams. got an A* equivalent. Not so stealth boast
In my first year at university I saw Pink Floyd at one of the Balls and have no recollection of it whatsoever. Well, you know what they say about the 60s....

Chewbacca and all other "soulies" on GN if you ever feel like getting your mojo back there's an afternoon (don't laugh!) session of the Wheel every month with oldies but goodies like us packing the dance floor. Not sure of dates but Google will oblige. KTF!

I saw the Rolling Stones at Longleat in 1963 Before it was a wildlife place. My friend and I pretended to faint so we would get hauled over a 6 foot fence and we could see them. I always regret not running on the stage to hug Bill Wyman

I saw the Rolling Stones in Weston Super Mare in 1964... they weren't by any means top of the Bill - that was Millie of My Boy lollipop fame !

Cheltenham 1963ish- felt brilliant going to school next day showing off to a class of envious girls whose parents hadn't allowed them to go to the Stones' concert. My parents were 36 or 37 at that time -seemed so old then!

Sorry so lovely reading all the Stones memories I forgot we were supposed to be doing 'wind out of sails'. At a large supper for complete family my little granddaughter ran round the table and whispered in my ear 'you're my favourite', then she popped back and whispered 'of the old people'

Went to an attraction yesterday and lady automatically charged us both senior price, I'm 56!!

I saw the Beatles at the Albert Hall and there were not top of the bill. Del Shannon was, if you remember him. We sat right up the back but they were still great.
When I see the stones or Paul or Ringo now I know they have all grown old with me.

Biggest mistake I made was selling my ticket for a
early days Tina Turner concert to be held in Leicester as my friend was not able to make it with me.

After retirement I was helping out at a senior school and in History they were talking about many, many years ago in the olden days 1952, and it suddenly hit home it was the year I was born !! Also in assembly, I looked round and realised that I was the oldest person in the whole school. It's weird, I don't have any issues with my age, I just have to keep reminding myself just how old I actually am. Of course it's so nice when everyone doesn't believe just how ancient you actually are !!

Someone carried my shopping to the bus today and someone else pressed the bell for me and someone helped me off. I feel about a hundred and have not dared look in the mirror since. In fact I think I might put a veil over it. Or turn it to the wall.

There was a good programme about Marc Bolam on BBC 4 the other week; in his own words, I think it was called.

When I feel old I think of a celebrity that is my age and that gives me hope because they are usually well kept

I've never liked the Stones but have seen some amazing bands over the years including Queen and Tina Turner and still love those from this generation. Next month I'm seeing Placebo and have often gone to concerts on my own as no one else likes my taste in music. I don't feel old or out of place - in fact I quite like the shock some youngsters show when they realise I'm a grandmother still into music Don't take any notice of people's comments and continue to enjoy going to gigs

Margsus, have you still got Brian Jones' comb?
I never saw any 60s bands live at the time but have seen loads of later bands. Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zep, Springsteen etc and to me they are better, they have a deeper more rounded sound. The 60s bands always sounded tinny to me, but each to their own.

Saw the Stones live at a concert at Longleat in 1964. Danced to the Yardbirds at a Cambridge May Ball in 1964 or 1965, can't remember which.

Billy J Kramer was the support act at the Stones gig if I remember right.

I rather like Placebo Willow DS played some of their stuff when he lived with us. Saw the Stones a couple of times at Poll Winners concerts in the 60s. I once got chatting to a young girl who was a distant cousin of John Lennon. I don't know who was more impressed, me because she was related to him or her because I'd actually seen him on stage!
