ROCK SUPER BOWL XII TANGERINE BOWL - ORLANDO - FLORIDA OCTOBER 24 & 25, 1981 |
”The front rows in Orlando were filled with these 12 or 13 year old girls, some of whom were making the most unseemly suggestions.” - Mick Jagger, the New York Times, November 4th, 1981 - In the fall of 1981, The Rolling Stones were touring behind Tattoo You, The Only Florida Appearance would be Orlando for 2 shows and breaking ticket sale records and raking in millions. Van Halen was on the road supporting Fair Warning and ran into the Stones in Orlando. Van Halen would be the 2nd on the bill for both shows in Orlando, marking this the 2nd time these bands would ever share the same stage as Van Halen opened for the Rolling Stones at the Superdome in New Orleans on July 13, 1978 during the "Some Girls" tour. The Henry Paul Band was the first act to open the show, then Van Halen and finally The Rolling Stones. A few songs into Van Halen’s set David Lee Roth speaking to the press box down front shouted “Do you know what the first thing the newspaper critic with the Elvis Costello haircut is going to write about this show in tomorrow’s paper ? How fucked up Van Halen was!” “And you know what the second thing they are going to write is ? How fucked up the audience was !” Then the crowd went nuts ! “Well, this one’s for the press !” Roth moons the press box and the band kicked into “So This Is Love?” The stadium played “London Calling” by The Clash a few minutes before the Stones came on switching to Duke Ellington’s “Take the ‘A’ Train” as the band finally took the stage. Mick Jagger in white football pants, and Salmon button-down shirt (completely unbuttoned) and pointy white shoes, Keith Richards in a short leopard coat, Bill Wyman in a yellow suit, standing still the whole time. I had wriggled my way down to the 30-yard line just before the Stones went on. They opened with “Under My Thumb.” I could only catch glimpses of Mick because everyone else was taller than me. When the song was over, I ran back to my end zone bleacher seats to enjoy the rest of the show. It would be another eight years before the Rolling Stones returned to tour North America. Their paths would never cross again, but for two nights in Orlando in the fall of ‘81, the Rolling Stones and Van Halen rocked the Tangerine Bowl ! Van Halen selected the photo of them on stage at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando to be featured on the rear cover of their "Diver Down" album....check it out ! |
