Please help my poor middle-aged brain recover some data.

I saw the Rolling Stones perform in either 1964 or 1965 at the Milwaukee Auditorium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was either the Stones' first or second trip to the US -- I think it was the second and they never got out of New York City on their first excursion Stateside.

Anyway, Brian Jones did not perform with the band as he was in Chicago in the hospital.

There was a very small turnout (especially for a fairly large hall) because few people at that time knew who the Rolling Stones were or had heard their music. Probably less than 200 people, maybe closer to 100.

My random access memory is getting more and more random -- and trying to Google the info seems to be hopelessly time consuming no matter what search combination I use.

(By the way, I touched the hand that touched the hand of Mick Jagger . . .)
