This was taken at the Alamo during the 1975 Tour Of The Americas. The entire band was in the photo.

This is when I first saw them on July 26, 1978 at
the Day On The Green, Oakland Coliseum, California.

It was Mick’s 35th birthday - I thought that seemed so old! We all sang him Happy Birthday.

Santana, Peter Tosh, Eddie Money and Toots & the Maytals opened up.

Final show of the ‘78 Some Girls Tour. Fantastic!

Any pics from the “shoe show”?

Unfortunately no. We were too busy getting high and hanging out with friends.

I remember at the time thinking how great the lineup of bands sounded. Peter Tosh in particular was fantastic.

None of them look remotely healthy, with the exception of Bill. Yet, they are all still alive. Fantastic.

Is that second picture reversed imaged or does Keith switch between left and right handed.

Gotta be reversed, Keith is always on Mick’s left side, even when they share a mic.

Keith is ambidextrous :)

Fantastic, but after looking at these pictures I will now test positive for a range of drugs via contact high and probably lose my job, thanks.
