The Day I Saw The Rolling Stones And Bo Diddley

With the release of their new album, I had to look up where I saw the Stones.

I was still at school and I knew I saw them at the Regal Edmonton cinema, which is now a Sainsburys supermarket.

The Internet says they played there on the 2nd of October 1963, when they toured with Bo Diddley, who I also remember seeing at the same venue.

This Wikipedia entry is entitled The Rolling Stones British Tour 1963, also states that the Everly Brothers were on the bill.

It was nearly sixty years ago.

A year later, I saw a similar gig on the 20th of October at the same venue, with The Animals, Carl Perkins, The Nashville Teens, The Quotations, Tommy Tucker and Elkie Brooks. Who was Tommy Tucker?

Those were the days!
