The Greatest Day in Rock - Part One

The morning of June 17, 1978 (the greatest day in rock) broke gloriously on West King Street. The previous night's bash had ended only a few hours prior when Bobby Soder's van pulled up to load up with beer, booze, contraband, chicks, and the gang. To the best of my memory I rode with Bobby, his lady Pam, Wayne and Cindi Lou, Chris Lake and maybe Crazee Mitch (although he likely was with The Bonnie Parker Band as a roadie). Another vehicle contained Phil, Woody, Jimmy Z, Sybil and Kenny. I believe Mike Heller made the trip. (PHIL PLEASE CORRECT, ADD OR WHATEVER VIA COMMENTS. THIS POST WILL EVOLVE AS OTHERS ASSIST MY MEMORY).

The destination that day, that wekend was two fold:

1. JFK Stadium, Philadelphia - Rolling Stones
2. Dunes Till Dawn, Margate, NJ - The Bonnie Parker Band

First, Philly. The Stones at the time consisted of Ronnie Wood, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. Mick was a little under the weather and the show lacked the usual energy but few in the crowd and none of us noticed:

Here is the setlist from that show:

Let It Rock
All Down the Line
Honky Tonk Women
Starfucker
When the Whip Comes Down
Miss You
Just My Imagination
Respectable
Beast of Burden
Respectable
Far Away Eyes
Love in Vain
Shattered
Satisfaction
Happy
Sweet Little Sixteen
Brown Sugar
Jumping Jack Flash

Prior to the Stones we slept through Peter Tosh and half of us slept through Foreigner.
