Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Rolling Stones

Can be found here.

I was searching the Web for information on an early to mid-60's Rolling Stones' appearance at Georgia Southern College (now, University) in Statesboro, Georgia. Growing up, Dad had told me that he saw them there. He remembers it as being 1962 or 1963, but that isn't possible based on the information I came across on this site. It must have been 1965.

If you have the urge to find out what anyone in The Rolling Stones was doing on any day since they formed the band, this is the place. It contains a mind-boggling timeline, including this little tidbit concerning the Rolling Stones first appearance in the American Southeast:

"May 4-8, 1965: The Rolling Stones perform their first ever concerts in the southeastern U.S., playing auditorium and stadium shows in Statesboro and Atlanta in Georgia, Clearwater and Jacksonville in Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama."

Interestingly, this is what Mick Jagger had to say about America at the time:

"New York (in 1964 and '65) was wonderful and so on, and L.A. was also kind of interesting. But outside of that we found it the most repressive society, very prejudiced in every way. There was still segregation. And the attitudes were fantastically old-fashioned. Americans shocked me by their behavior and their narrow-mindedness. It's changed fantastically over the last 30 years. But so has everything else (laughs)."
