I've seen the Stones three times in five years. At Desert Trip in California, £30 lucky dip ticket got me in the front pit at Southampton and another £30 lucky dip right at the back of the Cardiff stadium. Fantastic every time. Was also lucky enough to see them in the late 90s at the Brixton Academy where I had a hand on the drum stick he threw into the crowd, as well as at other times in other places.
Charlie was the oldest but I didn't think he'd be the first to go, given that his past was a little more sedate than the others.
RIP.
PS @ Helicopter, I have a ticket to Axel and Ben in Sept somewhere on the S Coast.
