Today in Rolling Stones history: October 4

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

October 4 offers a remarkably crowded snapshot of The Rolling Stones’ world, from a 1962 Marquee appearance without Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts to major American stadiums nearly six decades later. Along the way, the date catches the band in several distinct eras, while Ronnie Wood turns up as a guest on Rod Stewart’s Smiler and Bill Wyman gets wonderfully domestic with Come Back Suzanne. There’s also a sprawling 1981 set in Boulder and later stops from the Voodoo Lounge, Licks, A Bigger Bang and No Filter tours. In other words, October 4 has rather more going on than just another page in the chronology.

October 4, 1962: Marquee Jazz Club, London, England (without Bill and Charlie)

October 4, 1963: Odeon Theatre, Guildford, England (2 shows)

October 4, 1964: Gaumont Theatre, Southampton, England (2 shows)

October 4, 1965: Gaumont Theatre, Bradford, England (2 shows)

October 4, 1973: Vejlby-Risskov Hallen, Aarhus, Denmark, 2 shows (The Rolling Stones European Tour 1973)

October 4, 1974: Release of Rod Stewart’s LP Smiler, with Ronnie as guest
This was Rod’s sixth and final solo studio album under his original Mercury Records contract, marking the end of that chapter before his move to Warner Bros./Atlantic. Its release was delayed by five months because of legal disputes between both record labels.

October 4, 1981: Release of Bill Wyman’s 7″ single Come Back Suzanne / Seventeen (A & M AMS 8170)
Blending new wave, synth-pop, and glam rock, Come Back Suzanne was produced by Chris Kimsey and Wyman. Bill wrote the song about Suzanne Accosta, his future third wife, while they were dating and she was away traveling. Its playful lyrics turn her absence into domestic disaster, with mounting dishes, a broken washing machine, a departed gardener, a cat having kittens, and a flea-infested dog completing the chaos.
