The Rolling Stones: Rare and unpublished photographs of the Stones' concert in Athens,

17th April 1967,
photographed by Vasilios Karageorgios, comprising fifty-five negatives, 2½ x 2½ and 1½ x 1½ inch format, including shots of the Stones onstage and being smuggled back to their hotel, at the airport awaiting departure from Athens and general shots of the audience/crowd, to be sold with copyright

Footnotes

The Rolling Stones' European tour of March-April 1967 included concerts in a number of countries they had not previously played in - Poland (the first time a rock band from the West had played behind the Iron Curtain), Italy and Greece - and was marked by rioting audiences in a number of cities.

In Warsaw, on the 13th, police had used tear gas and batons to break up the crowds and arrested some of the several thousand ticketless fans trying to get into the concert. The Athens concert, at the Panathanikos Stadium, was the last on the tour and was just as chaotic. Brian's chauffeur/bodyguard, Tom Keylock, lost several teeth in a fight with fans onstage and the concert was eventually stopped by the police. The tour was also the last to include Brian.
