Free Trade Hall
4th February 1971

Absolutely deserving a front page splash, news that The Rolling Stones were planning on making an appearance in Manchester on what was being touted as a farewell tour, that old chestnut. The band were due to bring their own roadshow which included lights and support act.

The show was eventually staged at the Free Trade Hall with a matinee and evening performance on 5th March 1971, promoted by the Students' Union - quite a coup for the Union at this time.
