Keith Richards (guitarist, Rolling Stones) : We didn't realize really what we'd done to New York until it was all over. I mean, we realized we'd just blown the biggest market in America and played a 3000-seat theater. But that was what we wanted to do and we felt that we needed to do it and that people who dug us would understand it too, you know. I mean, OK, it's a one-shot. We ain't dead yet, we'll be back, you know.

We've always been good in the small halls. I mean, (laughs) 'cause we did them for so long and, I guess, in a way, we kind of tested ourselves by doing it. Like going back to playing SMALL places again has always been something like, Come on, let's do it. We SHOULD. You know, We used to be great there, you know, we can really turn it on there. Cause you have lot less problems. You know, you don't have to worry too much about amplification 'cause you can feel the hall yourself.
