Without losing his composure, Richards moved in front of the charging fan, wielding his guitar like a baseball bat, then shoved the fan away from Jagger with his guitar until security guards could escort the intruder away. On this recording, Jagger can be heard singing through the whole episode, while Richards' guitar falls out for a few moments and some feedback can be heard. Richards then resumes playing, his instrument audibly unaffected by the rough contact it absorbed.[3]
The 2-CD/DVD, single DVD and Blu-Ray for this concert was released on 3 November 2014 entitled, From The Vault – Hampton Coliseum – Live In 1981.
The album peaked at number 120 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Initially the Hampton Coliseum was not a scheduled stop on the Rolling Stones tour. Thanks to a grassroots campaign by local radio stations and petitions signed by thousands of area residents, the band added two Hampton shows to the itinerary.
