I suppose if you mention The Beatles at some stage you have to mention The Rolling Stones and as I wrote a piece last Saturday marking the anniversary of Paul's first encounter with John, this week I'll mark the occasion of the Rolling Stones first ever gig which took place 52 years ago on this day in 1962 at The Marquee Club in London which was then located at 165 Oxford Street. While the Marquee show was the first Stones gig, it was not the first time that Mick and Keith played together as they had their own band, Little Boy Blue and The Blue Boys, which was active on the Dartford scene a year before they upped stakes and moved to London and legend. Estimates put the number of concerts played by The Stones since that first appearance at over 2000! So now ye know!
Still gathering no moss!
