Subject: Soap & Deodorant for Stones!

Musician Richie Green was in a band called Bocky and the Visions. The Visions opened for the Rolling Stones at Cleveland Public Hall, November 3, 1964:

"We opened for the Rolling Stones first time they were here in town, 1964. I'm a kid just out of high school opening for the Rolling Stones. It kind of came pretty quick. We didn't meet the Rolling Stones, they weren't real friendly. They had a separate dressing room and didn't want to fraternize, which was kind of disappointing. We were their throwaway warm-up band, which was great for us. But there were other people who we opened for who were just super to us, like the Young Rascals, Lonnie Mack. This was the beginning of the British Invasion. The most notable thing I remember about that concert is that people were throwing soap and deodorant at the Rolling Stones. I guess they had some strange reputation. It was packed. They were immediately popular."

From "Cleveland Rock & Roll Memories" by Carlo Wolff.
