My favorite Stone song changes with my mood....Jagger/Richards definitely are great songwriters. Saw them first in 1978 when they opened their Some Girls tour in Lakeland Fla. The Lakeland Civic Center only held 10,000 people so the concert was a "secret". Another guitarist called me and said: "Hey Robbie, get your ass to the Civic Center box office..they are selling tickets to The Rolling Stones" I lived 5 minutes away and got right over there. At the box office ticket counter was a sheet of paper duct taped over the window that said: "Stones Tickets" I bought 2. They were $10.50 each. The most expensive concert tickets I had ever seen back then! (I had went to see ELO, with Eric Burden, and Rick Derringer opening up for $3 2 weeks earlier)
My tickets did not say "The Rolling Stones" on them. They said: "THE GREAT SOUTHEASTERN STONED OUT WRESTLING CHAMPIONS" lol
They sold out all 10,000 + tickets in 45 minutes by word of mouth.
