Pittsburgh
Saturday, July 22
The two Pittsburgh dailies mention few
songs, but then the entire set (almost) is already documented on collectible soundboard
audio. (Keep in mind that one circulating
“Pittsburgh” song, Sweet Virginia, is actually from Fort Worth.) Despite the skimpy song clues, the Post-Gazette
review is noteworthy for quoting two bits of Jagger stage dialogue that can be
heard on the tape; few STP clippings actually relate such Jaggerisms, and rare
is the article that cites two.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
“When the Rolling Stones arrived at the Civic Arena Saturday night in a Dodge
camper – limousines are too conspicuous – they looked beat. As they piled out
they looked as though they were disembarking from a ghost ship.” Pittsburgh Press:
“Jagger soon divested himself of a blue denim jacket to reveal his full
outfit – the skin-clinging jumpsuit with a loose sash around the waist,
flowing purple scarf and slightly bared chest.” Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
“The only bad vibe came when a spectator threw an empty bottle to the stage,
just in front of Jagger who shouted, ‘Don’t go throwing your bottles up here
at me,’ with the audience breaking into cheers after the singer issued the
order.” |
