That was an infamous show, as was the one with Guns and Roses opening at the Coliseum in '89. I saw them on every tour from 1971, (I was 12), to 1989. Missing a Rolling Stones tour in those days was unthinkable, there was never something better going on in Minneapolis, MN. on those nights.
I have no desire to see them now, but in fairness I really don't like crowds or seeing live music anymore. I went to hundreds of shows as a kid and young person and saw everyone I ever wanted to see. I was very lucky as a fan. I am personally of the opinion that the Stones should have hung it up in the '70s when they were on top artistically and commercially, they would be so much cooler now if they had. Now it's just more corporate rock with $100 tickets for senior citizens.
