The Rolling Stones were dreadful at Ashton Gate in 1982 - in fact, the whole afternoon was.
I'm with you there regarding the Stones, Bob. They just went through the motions that evening and looked bored to pieces. The J Geils band were pants too. The one good band were the opening act, a local to Bristol reggae act called I think, Talisman?
