Welton Jones (reviewer, Shreveport Times) : You had to look fast to see them. Their private plane arrived at the Greater Shreveport Municipal Airport after the opening acts had already taken the stage at Hirsch. They went on at about 9:40 p.m. and finished at about 10:05 p.m.
These guys don’t fool around. During the 10 some-odd minutes they were on stage, they spoke only thrice — lead singer Mick Jagger said three ‘thank yous.’
It was a good show, actually. The Stones music is neither as complicated or as interesting as that, of say, the Beatles, but it has an elemental pull that was obvious in Hirsch Saturday night.

Ernie Roberson : I was an usher for the concert. The Fair Park High School Student Council had the contract for the Fair Association. I do not recall how long (the Stones) played. It seems ‘Satisfaction’ was their final song. ‘Last Time’ was also on the list. Odd as it may be, I remember that a plywood barrier with a door built into it was covering the east side hall. It blocked any entry to the backstage. To me that was a first and two SPD cops stationed there for security.
