The Omni Coloseum hosted the Stones ATLANTA debut during 1975's Tour of "the Americas, after which two consecutive outings visited the Fox Theater, each seen by a lucky few thousand. Tickets for the 1981 show there went on sale in the middle of the night, so most people woke up to the news that they'd lost out.
"I Missed The Stones, with the venue and date, was a popular lapel button of the day. The New York Times reported that the band jetted in and out of Atlanta in five
hours before heading for Houston.
"RAGING LIKE A FOREST, FIRE. THEY BURNED UP 26 SONGS IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS."
The setlist is now available from the show…
"Before every show, I draw up the set list on a big canvas, putting down the songs and the keys they're in. It's a big pre-gig ritual for me."
– RONNIE WOOD
The first 750 orders will also receive a custom show plectrum inspired by the host city or venue.
