STP: “The Tuscaloosa concert is jam-packed, with dope-smoking, pony-tailed kids who must have come out of the hills somewhere, but it’s no more than a quick flash. The goal is to get out of Alabama and back to civilization without anything untoward happening.”

Birmingham News: “It was incredibly hot, cigarette smoke filled the arena. At least 40 persons were treated by an emergency medical team, most of them victims of the heat and the stifling fumes. Concession stands ran out of soft drinks, but hurried in a new supply, then ran out of ice. Sweating patrons did not care – they drank them warm.”

Tuscaloosa News: “Nothing resembling a riot – for which local law enforcement authorities had prepared in connection with the concert – ever developed.”

Crimson White: “[Jagger] comes on stage in sequins, silk, and pearls but wraps it all in blue jean toughness.”

Elman, Uptight With The Stones: “After the Tuscaloosa concert Mick Taylor said he felt they had all played well together, but Nicky Hopkins said, ‘I couldn’t hear a thing.’”
