#142. The Licks shows were quite the feat. In many towns, the Stones played 3 shows. They would play a theater, an arena and a stadium, and would design their set lists to fit the venue. Of course, the theater shows were the most difficult ticket, but I ended up scoring one on the 2nd hand market. However my friend Paul Serchia lined up at the Wiltern the day of the show at the ungodly hour of 5:30 AM and got in at the last minute for FACE VALUE. But I got my money's worth, standing less than 20 feet from the stage. As an added treat, the late, great Solomon Burke opened the show.
