I got together with some friends the other day and we were talking about bands that opened for the Rolling Stones in the US. I didn't see the Stones until the Steel Wheels tour at the LA Coliseum. Living Colour was the first band and then Guns and Roses was next. There's a great piece about having Guns open at a point when they were probably the biggest new rock band. Anyway, I saw the Stones again in 1994 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers opened (Buddy Guy was first up). I was not a fan of the Chili Peppers at that time but they've grown on me. Anyway, I have absolutely no recollection of seeing the Chili Peppers. I drove with a friend of mine and he shot the show for some magazines and claims we were there in time to see the Chili Peppers. Am I alone in this big memory gap? I mean, it's one thing if I forgot that I saw Living Colour because they were opening for everyone in LA around that time but the Chili Peppers?
BTW, my friend saw Van Halen open for the Stones on the Tattoo You tour and claims Van Halen took it easy that night. Guns did not; they seemed to come to take the rock and roll crown.
