Today in Rolling Stones history: October 8

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

October 8 has a surprisingly crowded place in Rolling Stones history, spanning everything from early British theatre dates to massive stadium shows decades later. The band spends this date moving through Cheltenham, Lewisham, Stockton-on-Tees, Cardiff, Kansas City, Buffalo, Durham and Regina, while Mick Taylor also turns up in a rather different setting with Todd Sharpville. Then there’s Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones, bringing the raw 1972 Exile on Main St. period back to the screen—and eventually DVD. October 8 proves the Stones rarely did anything quietly.
