Today in Rolling Stones history: May 17

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

May 17, 1963: Wooden Bridge Hotel, Guildford, England

May 17, 1964: Odeon Theatre, Folkestone, England (2 shows)

May 17, 1965: Community Concourse, Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, USA

May 17, 1975: While attempting to break his fall, Mick accidentally smashes his hand through a window in Montauk restaurant, in Long Island, New York, which then required twenty stitches on his wrist, but the Stones’ North American tour still proceeded in 2 weeks, as planned.

The Rolling Stones’ 1975 rehearsals for their Tour of the Americas were anything but typical. Instead of a cramped studio, they chose the upscale setting of Montauk, New York. True to their larger-than-life persona, the band invited none other than Andy Warhol to add his unique artistic flair to the scene. Warhol, ever the visual chronicler, documented the wild energy with his signature photography. As Mick Jagger and the crew ran through songs—likely with drinks in hand—the rehearsals took on the feel of a surreal performance piece rather than traditional practice. It was pure Stones: style, spectacle, and Warholian cool.

May 17, 1976: New Bingley Hall, Stafford, England

May 17, 1999: In New York, Luciana Morad gives birth to Lucas Jagger, Mick Jagger’s second son and seventh child.
