Rolling Stones - Live 1978 - Detroit

[@robertseiberling5432]

I was fortunate enough to be at this show. Detroit wasn't even on the scheduled on the 78 tour and the Stones basically showed up at the last minute. 3 other friends and I snuck in the back, ran up some stairs, down a few halls, through a door and there we were. I remember it like it was yesterday. Seen them every year since 75. They never disappoint!!!

[@nanchanger]

robert seiberling Where did you see them in 1979?

[@r88080]

Me and a friend also snuck in the back door via the fire esacape. Sat on the steps of the balcony and watched the whole show. One of my best memories from the 70s. Tickets were being scalped for as much as $250!

I assume you mean every tour...

[@roberttompkins6489]

Can you imagine having such a vast catalog that you don't play songs like Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil, Paint it Black, Satisfaction-----only the Stones.

[@nanchanger]

We got Satisfaction in Philly...

[@mistaskeem]

and so many other songs...

They didn't even play Start Me Up

[@ARIZJOE]

This demonstrates why the Stones are great. They have five guys playing as a whole, excellent sidemen (keyboards) and a tremendous entertainer in Mick Jagger fronting the thing. Keith to various degrees and states of mind is the orchestra leader, and the soul of the operation.

[@fernandoaugusto7749]

STONES IN THE 70's WERE BEST YEARS.

[@petestaint8312]

Agreed! Unfortunately, they don't sound this good live anymore.

[@josededios658]

[@jkckmarcumful]

One of the best setlists ever! And they played 'Lies'.

[@adonismapother]

My mom was 10 years old when she went to go see The Rolling Stones concert in Detroit in 1978 she even has her ticket stub too

[@coolasamoose4299]

Excellent recording of one of the all time great bands, but if I had to select just one live recording of the Rolling Stones it would be the 1972 "Ladies and Gentlemen" tour.... Best. Ever.

[@SuperStrik9]

The Stones were great in '78.

[@DominiqueBlot-ec8go]

Robert S., As someone born in 1977 I envy you. Didn't see the Stones until 1999. I'll remember it as clearly as the first time I had sex. ( in a Spanish brothel on my 16th birthday, a present from my father) I love all the Stone's era, but here they sound tough, funky and a little punky. Keep going!!

The greatest rock'n'roll Band of the world! STONES FOREVER!

[@bacardibum]

have you guys noticed that the 75-76 concerts all run like 2 hours, but the concerts before and after are around 60-80 minutes. they must have hit their all-time bamboozled levels in those years. crazy guys didnt even know how long they had been playing for with so much coke and heroine lol.

[@WillyvanLoon-vy2ft]

this Band lives in my heart ever since 1964, they will stay there forever, I am 71 since 3 december! I listen to them everyday!!! I've seen them 3x during the beautyfull 1970ties.Unfortunaly time goes by, I can't handle it, It hurts so bad but I must be very greatful for the fantastic live I've had, the fantastic music I have seen in the Netherlands Amsterdam!!! Love to you all Friends of The ROLLING STONES for eternity🥋🎯🎸

[@RonaldComby]

I got a lot of nice pics from this show,they play 18 songs back to back,and nobody ever sat down,my ears are still ringing,greatest stones show ever!

[@user-pp9rr7ze4h]

not really. but it was a decent one. Mick Taylor obviously not there. All downhill since unfortunately

[@anthonyaswe4174]

@@user-pp9rr7ze4h I don't think so...I've always thought they were at the peak of their powers at exactly this point...and up to '81. I think the glacier-sized amount of great material in the vaults is testament to that...and they were fierce as a live band on this tour. Ronnie's crude, slashing style was ideal during these breakneck shows.

[@laj043]

This show was a bummer memory for me. This was a surprise show that was announced on the radio I was listening to that tickets were now (and I mean right this %^%$# instance) available. When I heard the announcement I was toiling on the assembly line making Cadillacs on Clark Ave. in Detroit. One of my work mates instantly became "sick' and left to get tickets. By the time he got off work and got there the tickets were gone. CRAP!!!

Can never get enough of this band! This is obviously an inspired performance. have seen the Stones 21 times since 1965 on 10 tours. Am looking forward to a farewell (Last Time) tour in 2013, since the Brooklyn and Newark shows were instant sellouts.

The shows on this tour could have been so much better had the band played longer and also played more hits. As good as they sounded on this tour, some of those hits would have sounded nothing short of amazing. This by far though is my favorite era of the band. The fuck off attitude they had then was so badass

[@eddiecoyle9152]

I think this was the last great tour The Stones ever did, I believe they played shorter shows this tour was because the 75 U.S Tour they were playing close to 3 hour shows and Jaggers voice was shot because of that, regardless all the shows I've heard from this tour show the band to be a really tight unit with only Ian " Mac" Mclagan on keyboards, nowadays there's about 10 other players/singers on stage with the band!
