Forty-three years ago today -- 11/1/64 -- the Rolling Stones played an evening show at Balboa Park Bowl after appearing that afternoon at Long Beach's Civic Auditorium. Tickets cost $3.50, and the show started at 5:00 p.m. Openers included local garage band the Misfits, which featured future Moby Grape singer/bassist Bob Mosley.
"We played a lot of places around town," he recalled in a 2005 interview, "but [the Stones show] was the biggest thing we'd done."
At the time, the Misfits were signed to Imperial Records, whose roster included Ricky Nelson and Fats Domino. Their single, "This Little Piggy," released just before the Stones show, was appearing in Top 30 surveys for radio station KDEO -- which hosted the Stones concert -- as well as at KCBQ and KGB.
A backstage photo of the Stones mingling with locals is reproduced here: (top row from left) Ron Armstrong, Bill Wyman, Keith Richards, Earl Steely, Mick Jagger, Joey Page, Charlie Watts, and Bob Mosley; (bottom row from left) Joel Scott Hill, an unidentified photographer, Harold Kirby, and Eddy Dunn. Misfits members depicted are drummer Armstrong, rhythm guitarist Steely, bassist Mosley, and lead guitarist Dunn. Hill and Kirby were with the local Joel Scott Band. Page was an area singer, and the photo was taken by Misfits manager (and swimming pool salesman) Bob Herrington.
The Misfits split in 1965, after guitarist Earl Steely married and refused to tour. Bob Mosley joined Moby Grape but hit on hard times after that band dissolved amidst years of lawsuits.
"I was living in the bushes alongside a San Diego freeway in 1996," he recalled in 2005, "when a friend picked me up and told me Judge Garcia in San Francisco had agreed to give the Moby Grape name back to the band, instead of the corporate suits." The partially reformed Grape occasionally performs and records today.
The day after the San Diego show, the Rolling Stones recorded at RCA Studios in Hollywood for the first time. They taped the songs "Pain in My Heart," "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love," "Hitch Hike," "Heart of Stone," and "Down Home Girl."
