Richmond. Surrey. UK. August 10-11th 1963. |

The first appearance at the festival by the Rolling Stones, who were still in not well known outside of London at the time. Note their status , right at the bottom of the bill. However, the Stones apparently went down a storm and by the following year were the main headliners in the rock section of the festival. |
