The Rolling Stones performed, on two consecutive nights, at the Astrodome during their 1981 North American Tour on October 28-29, 1981

The Astrodome transcends municipal allegiances in this state. Most Texans are proud of the Astrodome and its historic significance to the state of Texas. The vocal few that want to tear it down and deny its importance are the same ones who think Jason Garrett is a great coach.

We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this city. Mr. Gorbachev. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this dome!

They tore down Yankee Stadium. Down with the Dome!

You proved my point: you are star-shaped glasses wearing Cowboys fan. See my Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl thread to find out more about yourself. Vocal minority.
quote:I appreciate your apology. Next time, just give us a full disclaimer before you post your opinions about the Dome.quote:quote:

I proved no point at all. Being a Cowboys fan has nothing to do with wanting to tear down the dome. Nice red herring though.

Astrodome got two Stones shows on a Wednesday & Thursday.
The Cotton Bowl had them for Halloween on a Saturday in a driving storm, and the next day Sunday November 1, 1981, perfect weather.
Still have an old photo from Sunday from down in front, some chick on her boyfriend's shoulders showing Jagger her tits.
Even though a long time ago, we hosted a Halloween bash that Saturday night with four kegs of Heinekein. Next morning, bodies passed out all over the house, bologna thumb tacked to ceiling. Woke everybody up, and went back for the Sunday show.
