KEEF: “I’ve Only Fallen Over Twice In 15 Gigs!”

(Herewith we give you the first injection of CREEM's infamous STONES TAPES, in which Roy Carr, Keith Richard, and Mick Jagger set new world record?for loose talk and pinguid prose.

Contrary to legend, out on the road The Rolling Stones attempt to lead as normal a life as one can expect when living out of a suitcase and relying on room service.

And there it remained when the Stones hit New Orleans for The Big One—in excess of 80,000 kids under the roof of the breath-taking Superdome, for what turned out to be the biggest-ever indoor concert' staged in entertainment history. Well over one million greenbacks were grossed at the box office, while untold thousands were exchanged at street level; over 10,000 bootlegged t-shirts were seized in one raid alone.
