Customer Reviews
Stones at the Akron Rubber Bowl - my first concert
The Stones’ Akron Rubber Bowl concert in 72 was my first concert. I was 15 and my parents had to drive my friends and me there ... I’m still not sure how I convinced them to let me go. We were sitting in the stands and I clearly remember seeing the confrontation between the police and some concert-goers down on the field early in the concert. I owned a copy of Sticky Fingers and was really looking forward to hearing the Stones play those songs, but I couldn’t figure out why Stevie Wonder was opening the concert. He turned out to be a revelation and I became a big fan and bought Talking Book when it came out later that year. It was the only concert I saw at the Rubber Bowl that summer but I still have my ticket stub! Eventually I saw many memorable rock concerts in Akron and Cleveland in the years to come (including the Stones again in Cleveland in 75).
Love this pod!
Gotta love listening to old timers reliving their glory days! 10/10 for Cle rock history!
