To mark their 50th anniversary, the Rolling Stones are going to play two shows at the new Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn. The Stones. THE STONES! I haven’t seen the Stones in years.

I saw the Stones at Madison Square Garden in 1969 on Thanksgiving with my father and sister. Janis Joplin, Ike and Tina Turner and BB King were there. I was 11 years old but I totally got it.

Mick Jagger wore his Jumping Jack Flash suit (see left). It was the most amazing concert ever.

More recently I saw the Stone in 1986 or so with Hugh at Shea Stadium and they put on the most awesome show.

I just read that they’re being paid 25 million to play those two shows and two in London. Still, it is the Stones (and Keith Richards) and I want to see the Stones. In Brooklyn. Yeah.

The dates of these two shows have not been reported yet. Truly, the list grows of shows I might want to see at Barclay’s: Neil Young and Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and now, the Stones.
