1964: The Stones tape an appearance on UK TV’s Lucky Stars Special in Birmingham (all playback, ABC, UK TV) Around And Around/ Little Red Rooster/ Off The Hook/ Empty Heart
1965: Coliseum, Denver, CO, USA The Stones first played the Coliseum on Nov. 29, 1965, and the Rocky Mountain News review managed to avoid mentioning any band members by name. No, not even Mick Jagger. A year after the Beatles’ breakout, the business of carbon paper, linotype machine, typewriters, and type trays still was trying to catch up with the revolution. The review noted the concert “should have been reviewed by a dance and drama critic, for it was basically a visual production which included some of the most intricate choreography seen in Denver for some time as well as an extremely interesting display of contemporary dress onstage and off.” He accused the Stones of showing a ‘who needs you’ attitude.”
