Beat me by four years - my first (and only) Stones concert was the 1969 "Concert for Brian" in Hyde Park. I was never much of a concert goer - I preferred the smaller venues (clubs, pubs, etc.). I did see the Bonzo Dog around the time that "Urban Spaceman" was popular, and several folk and folk/rock groups (often at the Cambridge Folk Festival, which I attended most years from 1969 onwards until I left the UK in 1978). About the only other big events with well-know headliners were the Bowie "Stage" tour (which I saw in Auckland, along with 40,000+ other fans - not bad for a country with a population of 3,000,000); and, then, of course, there's my all-time favourite - Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" tour (and that's a whole story in itself).
