The Rolling Stones performed in Rupp Arena on June 29, 1978, during their Some Girls Tour. At left, Ron Wood played guitar as Mick Jagger worked the crowd. The U.S. tour was 24 shows, and Lexington was the 11th stop. It was one of the first big concerts in the young history of Rupp Arena, which opened in 1976. The band played 19 songs for the sold-out crowd. Click here to see another image of the show from our archives. Photo by Ron Garrison | Staff
