The Rolling Stones packed more than a hundred thousand fans into JFK Stadium for their concert in support of the “Some Girls” album. Jagger was ill, the Stones set was shortened and a riot occurred afterward. © Roger Barone 1978

Rolling Stones Photos & Stories From Philadelphia: The City of Brotherly Love 
I was at this concert as a kid. My mom worked for the Electric Factory, feeding the crew and bands, she use to take me to all kinds of concerts back then. I was 7 at this time. She worked there from 74-78, and somewhere else a bit after. I was back stage a lot, running around, trying to stay out of trouble.
I sat in the bleachers behind the stage to watch the show. I remember them shooting out the faces from the some girls album as confetti. I collect a bunch, but, no longer have them. I also collected about 50 frisbees. I watch from the back as the audience threw bottles at the stage from the early ending. It’s a very vivid memory for me, and out of all the concerts, its the one that sticks out the most. My mom still lives in Philly.
What was your mom’s name? Karen? Thanks for visiting my rolling stones site. I
