“Hampton Coliseum - Live In 1981” is the first title in this series. The Rolling Stones American Tour in 1981 was the most successful tour of that year taking a then record $50 million dollars in ticket sales. The tour was in support of the critically and commercially successful “Tattoo You” album. There were fifty dates on the tour which ran from Philadelphia at the end of September through to Hampton, Virginia on the 18th and 19th of December. The show on December 18th, which was also Keith Richards’ birthday, was the first ever music concert to be broadcast on television as a pay-per-view event. The footage has now been carefully restored and the sound has been newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain for this first official release of the show.

The Stones are one of a few acts (maybe Bowie, McCartny, Elton John) who have experienced an entire life. When you listen to the entire Stones discography, you experience what it is to be human. What it is to be alive in this time in our cosmos. That is what popular music should be... a reflection of us as a human race. I hope to meet Mick and Keith one day... thank you Kieth and Mick... see ya soon

I think it's funny how Paul and John were talking to Mick and Keef when they were giving them a song. The two Beatles were telling the Stones how to start their own way of writing songs. The Stones were in awa and they were not going to be able to do anything close to the McCartney Lennon Superstars. You can get rich in a few ways by making a trip back in time. Bet a fortune that Mick and Keef are in a different place than the Beatles are in. Before the 1970 New Year's Eve celebrations , The Beatles are broken up and The Stones are in the middle of writing a few of the songs that will be timeless classics that will be as relevant in 50years as they are now. The Stones are also the longest touring band ever. In the year 2021. Mick Keef, Ronnie and Charlie are in a similar situation in which they have been in at least two different ways of a relationship with their own family and the other one of them was in their first year of dating but they are also the only one of us with whom we have to deal with the situation in their life and we will not get the chance for the same thing in their own lives that is a good way of getting off the ground to get to the bottom of the list of a upscale and affordable alternative home in the middle east but the world of the United nations has been the biggest threat since it started to go down in our economy as a result of the crisis in our country that was not in a recession or the recession that is in the middle of this year and a year of growth is not the way we have to be in a long term environment where the government can get more jobs and more jobs than the rest of us can get through the day this time around us and we need more than we can be with you and the other two countries that have a lot more of a chance for the future and you have a better life than you can imagine if they were in our lives or in their homes in their homes in their lives or the world we would be in danger and the need for the best way we would be

[@keeponrollin7922]

I'm glad I discovered them when I was around 13 and never turned back I knew their music was real and they are some deep fellas,25 yrs later they still havent let me down,I was kinda the loner in school because I was listening all the time too the stones and everyone else was just gtn into grunge(93) nirvana,SG PJ etc

[@jasonwagner1674]

There are no words to be said about Charlie

[@donhanlon7121]

I appreciate all the good comments, nobody ever said a bad word about the great Charlie Watts ( RIP) when he died Aug 24th 2022 I waited for and taped all the BBC radio interviews that following week and they are like gold dust to me now and of course we have the numerous U tube clips as well, who will ever forget the pre show shuffle he used to do as he was about to go on stage, we will never forget you Charlie🙏🙏🙏

[@johnkeller5163]

To get this in perspective, several thousand people in Hampton Roads, VA signed a petition to persuade the Stones to extend the Tattoo You Tour a day beyond Washington DC in hopes the Stones would play since it had been a very long time that the Stones played southeastern Virginia. The Stones were impressed and made the trip to play Hampton Coliseum which sold out about 15,000 tickets quite quickly. I was 13 years old and luckily saw this concert which was recorded in full with a flexible playlist and relaxed tone for a Stones concert. It was special night even by Stones standards.

[@Camiloquai1]

When my late father played this record back in the day, it meant things were doing fine. RIP Charly Watts

Yes this version is by far the best version I ever heard I. First heard it back In 1983 i found a 3 album bootleg box set of this concert This concert was the last concert of the 1981 tour And it was also Keith Richard's Birthday The whole concert was great

[@michelbryant2668]

I'm sorry but there will never be another group like the Rolling Stones or any of the groups from my generation. I know each generation says that, but I mean that with all my heart. There is a reason why the music of the 70's was sampled so much.

[@josephkelley8641]

I tried it (hands-free), couldn't hang - eventually hadda quit (40 years ago). Thought it might increase my KF. Kool Factor. Only made my fingers smell.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

The secret is to put the cigarette in whatever corner of your mouth you want and then lean your head so it doesn't go in your eyes. The whole time. You also need to practice chain smoking and not give a shit about the ash.

[@Hyslop65]

The great Ernie Watts on tenor sax

[@stevefaure415]

He's doing a very good Rollins take here, that's for sure. This must have been when the Stones had a falling out with Bobby Keys. I'll have to see if there's a live recording of this with Bobby playing, I think he would approach it all differently.

[@golds04]

Excellent 💐shown for Newk. 💯👊

[@TATOIANENTERPRISES]

One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time by the greatest Rock n Roll band in the world. Thanks for letting me listen to you guys rehearse back in 1982 in an old barn around midnight in Brookfield, Massachusetts. RIP Charlie.

[@robertmiddlemiss6807]

Originally recorded in Kingston, Jamaica, the backing track for this song was cut in late 1972 during the "Goats Head Soup" sessions and featured Mick Taylor on guitar. After Mick's vocal overdubs, it was released as part of the "Tattoo You" album released in 1981. Keith later commented: "The thing with 'Tattoo You' wasn't that we'd stopped writing new stuff, it was a question of time. We'd agreed we were going to go out on the road and we wanted to tour behind a record. There was no time to make a whole new album and make the start of the tour."

[@rockrecordreport7136]

Really? I know the album uses a lot of old tracks with new over-dubs and reworkings, but I never heard this quote from Keith. Where did you get this quote? The part about stopped writing?
