Rolling Stones Concert 1989


Sep 18, 2014, 8:27 AM

I was thinking the other day about the great concerts that Death Valley used to have. Rolling Stones came in 1989 on their Steel Wheels tour. Did anyone go? And does anyone happen to have pictures?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Went. No pictures, but my ears have been ringing ever since!***

I went....sorry no pics

worst traffic getting out of Clemson in history. Half the people in attendance had never set foot in Clemson before - you can imagine the issues getting that many people out of town.

Living Colour was the opener and rocked. Stones were the Stones, a little past their prime but still excellent.

The spectacle (first major concert ever in DV) was probably better than the concert itself.

Worst traffic ever...


Sep 18, 2014, 9:08 AM

If I remember correctly, the Highway Patrol refused, at the last minute, to work traffic, so there was no traffic control other than CU and town cops. I sat in a lot for three hours before moving, got home at 5 AM.

Great show though. We were on the top row of the north upper deck, so I can only assume it was really the Stones on stage.

Yep. I think I got home around 4 am.***

the band was set up towards the west EZ. Jagger looked looked like an ant. The girl I went with was a stick in the mud( set up blind date) and the people around me smoked the whole time. It was not the best of nights for me, but oh well....at least I can say I was there..:)

Stones bringing rock show to Clemson's Death Valley



Published: Tuesday, October 24, 1989 at 3:15 a.m.

Last Modified: Tuesday, October 24, 1989 at 12:00 a.m.


CLEMSON - The "Steel Wheels" of the Rolling Stones' world tour will roll into Clemson's Death Valley Nov. 26, marking the first time anyone has ever used the famed football field for a concert. It also will mark the sole Palmetto State appearance of the Stones, touted by many as "the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world." The current tour is the group's first since 1981. Promoters and university officials announced the details of the highly-anticipated performance yesterday in the Tiger Den during a 1 p.m. news conference. "Basically, to me, it's just like Clemson has another home game this year, only this time it's not a football game, it's the Rolling Stones," said Allen Corbett, a promoter with Camden-based C&C Entertainment who brought the show to Clemson. More than 60,000 tickets will go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. for the 7 p.m. show the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Tickets will cost $31.50 each, and will be limited to 10 per person, Corbett said. Gates at Death Valley will open at 5 p.m. the night of the show. The critically acclaimed rock group Living Colour will open for the Rolling Stones. With promoters expecting tickets to sell quickly, a Spartanburg man said yesterday he was taking no chances of not getting one. Glenn Fulghum, 37, intends to be the first Stones fan to get tickets at Duncan Park, one of four sites selling tickets for the concert. He started his camping vigil yesterday afternoon, just a couple of hours after radio stations blared the announcement. "I was there at 1 o'clock, pulling into Clemson," Fulghum said. "But when I heard Duncan Park on the radio, I made a U-turn in the middle of the road and headed back home. I knew there'd be more people who could get me some food closer to home." Fulghum's girlfriend, 34-year-old Pat Perry of Spartanburg, says she intends to camp out as well. Both saw the group at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh Sept. 16, but an elevated speaker spoiled an otherwise adequate view. This time, they expect to get great seats for what they described as an spectacular show. "They put bucks into it, they put their heart and soul and energy into it," Ms. Perry said. "They weren't cheap; now The Who was cheap!" Fulghum jokingly speculated that the Rolling Stones concert already has played a major role in the success of the Clemson Tiger football team's success this year. "I think (North Carolina State) let Clemson win to get back stage passes," he said. "We wouldn't say that if we were waiting in line in Clemson." Clemson students were equally enthusiastic about the announcement. Chris Liner, an 18-year-old freshman from Greenwood, said the concert is "the best thing that's happened to Clemson in a long time." "My dad was kind of a nut with them, so I gotta keep it up," he said. "Stones and The Beatles - that was my daddy, Stones and The Beatles." Carolina Gaskins, a 20-year-old sophomore from Michigan, said she saw the group in Raleigh, too, but won't let that keep her from going again. "My mom has said, `Why go back early - you've already seen them,' and I said, `I will see them again,"' Miss Gaskins said, adding that her mother knows little of the famed middle-aged rockers. "To this day, she is like `Was the Rocks's concert good?' I said `No, mom, it's the Stones."' Lead singer Mick Jagger, along with Ron Wood, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman will perform on a stage 306 feet wide, 112 feet high and 88 feet deep, Corbett said. The University of South Carolina in August passed on an opportunity to host the group in Williams-Brice Stadium after athletic department officials claimed having the concert might open the school up to having less desirable events. The proposed Sept. 30 date also would've occurred during the Gamecock football season. Butch Trent, director of Clemson's University Union, said Clemson officials had agreed to offer Death Valley as a concert site before negotiations began at USC. He added the concert would occur after the regular football season. Mike Arnold, director of programs and services for the University Union, said college officials expect to make $90,000 from the concert. The show will be the last major event of Clemson's Centennial celebration.

Officials expect to work out the details on student tickets today or tomorrow.>MIKE BONNER PHOTO Glenn Fulghum of Spartanburg set up camp yesterday at the Duncan Park ticket outlet.

Wife and I were there. It's been that long? Heck I was sort of young then. Had seats probably 15 rows from stage almost dead center. Turns out that while that's nice to brag about, it was LOUD (too loud in fact). It was quite a show and worth the money. No pictures though.

blow-up women they had on each side of the stage looked like she was giving the audience the finger.

I also remember Living Colour singing their only hit, "Cult of Personality."

Also, a friend and I were civil engineering grad students at the time. We parked in front of Lowry Hall about 3-4 hours before the concert. We had keys to the building so we tailgated on the front lawn and had access to indoor restrooms. It was great.
