This, my friend, is from the 1969 Madison Square Garden concert--one of the last shows on the Stones' 1969 North American tour. Shortly thereafter, they gave a free concert at Altamont--where shit got heavy (as the kids used to say).
This December will mark the 40th anniversary of that fiasco, by the way. Methinks I shall dust off my copy of Gimme Shelter in honour of it.
I used to hang around on rabble.ca's "babble" until May, 2006, and, since then, I've been found at www.enmasse.ca and www.breadnroses.ca. Even more lately, I've been at EnMasse, but also numerous blogs from the progressive side.
I'm sometimes rude to people and I've been accused of "schoolyard taunts," so, here's my schoolyard.

Oh yeah. I didn't even stop to think about the date.
