The Rolling Stones’ American debut
Written by admin on June 2, 2009 – 4:15 pm -| Today marks not only the birthday of The Rolling Stones’ drummer Charlie Watts (he’s 68 today), but also the 45th anniversary of the band’s very first gig on US soil. This took place at the Manning Bowl in Lynn, Mass. |
That first US tour wasn’t very successful as the band didn’t even have a hit record to promote, but the trip was not a wasted one. During the tour, the band did a two-day recording session at the legendary Chess studios in Chicago which produced their first UK number one – the classic It’s All Over Now.
