Andrew Loog Oldham (manager, Rolling Stones) : The war wasn't over that long ago, and we weren't exactly pro-German. Satisfaction was out and the automatic thing that comes to mind is goose-stepping. So that's going on backstage, as everyone is quite frivolous. Next thing I know Jagger is out onstage doing that. They were playing in a big fucking tin shed. There were lots of police with big dogs. The audience was sitting there getting all emotional; their leader was in front of them. But they had to behave 'cause if they got up there was a guy with a club. When they left the place the kids did in about 100 cars in the car-park. All the trains going back to the sticks were a mess. It was worse than if they'd been allowed to let off steam inside the hall.
