For mine, back in 1988. Got mega lucky.
Mick Jagger toured Australia in 1988 on a solo tour (coincided with his album, Primitive Cool). From memory he played 5-6 sold out shows at Rod Laver Arena - but did a warm up gig at the Corner Hotel before these concerts.
The show had a few of his new songs, but majority were the old Stones classics.
Beer at bar prices. Smoking bans in pubs hadn't been heard of. About 600 punters in the room.
Mick belting out classics like Little Red Rooster, Brown Sugar, Tumbling Dice etc in a dingy smoky local bar - all for a $10 cover charge.
Life doesn't get much better than that!
IIRC - Dave Gilmour also put on a similair show at The Corner in the same year.
Anyone else got any similiar experiences?
