The Rolling Stones St James Park Newcastle July 18th 1990
The Stones returned to St James Park in 1990, 8 years after their last visit to the venue. Support this time came from Dan Reed Network, and local rockers The Quireboys. This was part of their Urban Jungle Tour which took them around the world. The Stones put on a great show, and were on better form than their previous visit to St James. Stand-outs for me were Ruby Tuesday, and 2000 Light Years from Home, which is one of favourite Stones track, from the (in my view) much under-rated Their Satanic Majesties album. 
Setlist: Start Me Up; Sad, Sad, Sad; Harlem Shuffle; Tumbling Dice; Miss You; Almost Hear You Sigh; Ruby Tuesday; Rock and a Hard Place; Mixed Emotions; Honky Tonk Women; Midnight Rambler; You Can’t Always Get What You Want; Can’t Be Seen; Happy; Paint It Black; 2000 Light Years from Home; Sympathy for the Devil; Street Fighting Man; Gimme Shelter; ;It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It); Brown Sugar; Jumpin’ Jack Flash; (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction. From the (very large) tour programme: “The success of the band is bound up in the story of Mick and Keith. It’s pretty simple, almost comic book stuff, two schoolboy friends who grew up together first listening to, playing and then writing music. The two have opposites: Keith is shy, Mick is not.”

I was there as Local Crew. Ferried both Dan Reed Network and Quireboys from dressing rooms to stage and back and was literally on stage at the same time as the Stones. Had a fab week and night, even got paid for it.
