Today in Rolling Stones history: September 29

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

September 29 covers a surprisingly broad stretch of Rolling Stones history. From early London theatre dates and British package tours to Rome, Foxboro, Pittsburgh, Zaragoza and Louisville, the date connects very different chapters of the band’s career. There’s even an unexpected reggae detour, with Mick Jagger joining Peter Tosh on (You Gotta Walk And) Don’t Look Back—because apparently the Stones weren’t content staying in one musical neighborhood. Across more than four decades, September 29 finds the band moving from small theatres to enormous stadiums, through changing lineups, tours and eras. It’s a date packed with enough variety to make one calendar entry considerably more interesting than it sounds.

September 29, 1962: Ealing Jazz Club, London (without Bill and Charlie)

September 29, 1963: New Victoria Theatre, London, England (2 shows)
This was the Stones’ first theatre tour of Great Britain, a package tour headlined by The Everly Brothers and Bo Diddley, and eventually Little Richard.

September 29, 1964: Odeon Theatre, Guildford, England (2 shows)

September 29, 1965: Granada Theatre, Shrewsbury, England (2 shows)

September 29, 1966: ABC Theatre, Stockton-on-Tees, England, 2 shows (The Rolling Stones British Tour 1966)

September 29, 1970: Palazzo Dello Sport, Rome, Italy (The Rolling Stones European Tour 1970)

September 29, 1978: Release of Peter Tosh’s 7″ single Don’t Look Back / Soon Come, with Mick Jagger as guest on side A
Tosh and Mick’s 1978 reggae-rock version of (You Gotta Walk And) Don’t Look Back transforms a 1965 Temptations soul song into an anthem of resilience. Their collaboration, included on Tosh’s Bush Doctor album, urged listeners to face heartbreak and personal troubles rather than retreat from them.
