When the Stones first rolled into town
Jeannie Kanakos was thrilled when the Sun recently unearthed a photo of her as a 15 year old at the first Rolling Stones show in Vancouver on Dec. 1, 1965. 22, 1964. But she was too far away to get a good look, and couldn't hear the music for all the screaming.
So when the Rolling Stones came to town on Dec. 1, 1965, she wasn't taking any chances. She camped out all night with her friend Margot Dickenson to get tickets. At the concert, she threw caution to the wind and rushed to the front.
The Vancouver Sun's Ken Oakes photographed her in mid scream, completely lost in the excitement of imitiaton hermes bag seeing her heroes onstage. The photo ran in the paper the following day.
Fast forward half a century and the long lost negatives for the Stones' first Vancouver show turn up in the Sun archives. I wrote a story about them last week, and scanned in several photos that ran online; three were of Jeannie Kanakos.
"I had lunch with fake hermes bag my siblings and we laughed about it," said Kanakos, 66, who's now a city councillor in Delta. "It was pretty cool, an amazing event in my life."
Kanakos'slate dad plays a big role in her Stones story, because he was cool with letting her sleep outside overnight to get tickets.
"That was a big deal at age 15 for my dad to drive us over to the Playhouse and drop us off with this group of scruffy teenagers," she recounts.
"We had our sleeping bags. 'Bye dad!' But I inherited (a love of music) from him he was really into music, he was a drummer himself."
It was fall when tickets went on sale, "and friggin' cold." But the Stones fans bonded.
"We all kind of connected," she said. "Somebody had a transistor radio, but mostly we just talked. We thought, 'Oh, we're going to ace first row tickets.' But by the time we got to the front (we) only got the third row. So we were a little disappointed."
Dad also drove them to the Agrodome for the show. Once they were there, Jeannie and Margot determined they were getting as close as possible to the stage.
"We just beelined to the front," said Kanakos, whose maiden name was Wimbles.
"We got in position, the show started, and as the pictures show, it was a good show."
She laughs.
"I don't remember the playlist or the songs. Listening to the albums has kind of overtaken the memory of the songs from that particular night. But it was heaven to be 15 years old and at a Rolling Stones concert with screaming girls and right at the front. What more could you fashion cheap hermes handbags ask for?"
Who was her favourite Stone?
"Oh, Mick, absolutely," she replies. "Mick, 100 per cent. He was the dancer, he was the guy with the moves. To this day I try toimitate his walk and his moves."
Did Mick take notice of her as she was screaming her head off?
"Oh yeah, he looked at me and he was winking," she laughs. "I wish! replica birkin handbags No, I don't remember any eye contact with them."
Kanakoswent on to marry, have four kids, and obtain a masters degree in aboriginal land history. She's a negotiation advisor on aboriginal issues.
