When:

Short story:

The Rolling Stones play at The Pavilion, Ryde, Isle Of Wight, UK.

Full article:

Frank Orchard (security staff) : Twelve bouncers were employed for this and we were all instructed to stand at the front. A Stones roadie told us that if anybody left their seat we were to rush towards them and tell them to sit down.

?In the first performance one person moved and then they all did. We were nearly crushed, and the show stopped after a few songs. As a result the second performance did not run its full course.


Mick Jagger played up to the crowd, but the sound was so brilliant and exciting for an Isle of Wight audience who had been alienated up to that time. The Stones made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. They stayed at the Ryde Castle. Brian Jones climbed the ivy growing on the wall outside.
