Just over 50 years ago the Rolling Stones played a series of Teesside gigs on their rise to stardom.
The date was 1964 and between then and 1966, Stockton played host to the band no fewer than four times for a grand total of eight shows
The venues? The ABC Theatre and the Odeon - did you pay 6/6 for your ticket?
New money equates the figure to 33p, ticket prices went up to 12/6 for the better seats (63p) but still seems good value however you look at it.
September 1966 saw the Stones make their final visit to Stockton - by that time, Mick and co had notched up more hits and the audience were watching the band on its last ever extensive UK tour.
Let us know if you were amongst the screaming masses in Stockton!
