When The Rolling Stones played in Denver in 1965 (from Colorado Music Experience):

The Rolling Stones put their talent on stage in Colorado for the first time on Nov. 29, 1965, when the rock icons were still making their reputation basically as a pop group, obliged to do little more than fill the Denver Coliseum with shrieking teens. Award-winning photographer Nicholas DeSciose, who has developed a body of work in portraiture, commercial, product, fashion and fine art photography and in industrial and documentary filmmaking, had graduated from East High School–he was 19 years old and took on the assignment of shooting the concert. DeSciose has compiled those iconic images from his archives for Colorado Music Experience; the collection is represented by Leslie Hughes.

The Rolling Stones live in Denver 1965 (from The Denver Post:

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”.
