In reply to Debbie Deaton. That's an excellent idea. I should contact one of the GSU reference librarians.

I first found out about the Rolling Stones playing in Statesboro when I was thumbing thru an old Georgia Southern yearbook while I was attending school there. The opening band may be mentioned there.

Hey Bill, Stan Deaton here. When I was researching the Today in GA History segment on the Stones I came across all kinds of info. that I didn’t have room for in the story. The info. I found stated that the Stones flew into Atlanta and that they drove to Savannah. On the afternoon of the 4th they drove to Statesboro and returned to Savannah that evening after the concert, so it seems that stayed over the night of Tuesday the 4th. The next morning, Charlie Watts took a cab out to Fort Pulaski for some sightseeing before they all left for their Clearwater concert. And supposedly, it was out by that Clearwater pool that Mick finished up writing “Satisfaction” before it was recorded for the first time in Chicago on May 12th and then finished at RCA Studios in Los Angeles. If it was like most Stones songs, he and Keith had been working on it awhile before they arrived here. Great article!!

I met a guy at Tybee in 70 that claimed he was John Fogarty. Wonder how I could check that out.
