Today in Rolling Stones history: October 13

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

October 13 offers a reminder that Rolling Stones history involves more than riffs, records and spectacular live shows. Sometimes, the real drama happens when the music stops and somebody discovers the money isn’t being divided quite equally. In 1963, a Liverpool engagement exposed Brian Jones’s special payment arrangement, helping fuel tensions over leadership that would reshape the band. Elsewhere in the chronology, the Stones conquer Rotterdam in 1973, while Ronnie Wood’s earlier adventures with The Creation reveal another chapter in his musical journey. Rock history, apparently, comes with plenty of backstage accounting—and not everyone likes the figures.

October 13, 1962: Ealing Jazz Club, London, England (without Bill and Charlie)

October 13, 1963: Odeon Theatre, Liverpool, England (2 shows)
It was on this day, after a Stones show in Liverpool, that the rest of the band found out that Brian was earning more than them.
Ian Stewart and Keith Richards on Brian getting a bigger share:
Stu: “When we started playing outside London, Brian said, ‘I’m the leader of the group and I think I’ll stay at the best hotel. All the rest of you can stay in a cheaper hotel’. Of course, the rest of the Stones just laughed at him, and that was it from then on. It was all over for him as the leader. He started to isolate himself because of this attitude.”
Keith: “He had an arrangement with Eric Easton, that as leader of the band he was entitled to this extra payment. Everybody freaked out. That was the beginning of the decline of Brian. We said, ‘fuck you’…”

October 13, 1965: De Montfort Hall, Leicester, England (2 shows)

October 13, 1973: Sportpaleis AHOY, Rotterdam, Holland (The Rolling Stones European Tour 1973)
Brown Sugar/Gimme Shelter/Happy/Tumbling Dice/Star Star/Dancing With Mr. D./Angie/You Can’t Always Get What You Want/ Midnight Rambler/Honky Tonk Women/All Down The Line/Rip This Joint/ Jumpin’ Jack Flash/Street Fighting Man

October 13, 1998: Release of The Creation’s CDs The Complete Collection Vol. 1 – Making Time (with Ronnie Wood on For All That I Am) and The Complete Collection Vol. 2 – Biff Bang Pow! (on Midway Down)

The Creation was a British psychedelic rock group formed in 1966 by Kenny Pickett, Eddie Phillips, Mick Thompson, Jack Jones and Bob Garner. Evolving from a pop-art sound like The Kinks and The Who, they embraced 60s psychedelia. Their biggest hit, Painter Man, showcased Phillips’s unique violin bow guitar technique. Eonnie joined The Crearion in 1968 after his first band The Birds split up, remaining briefly before moving on to The Jeff Beck Group in 1967.
