July 18, 1972: The Rolling Stones are unable to land at Logan Airport in Boston due to heavy fog. As they wait for a bus in Warwick, RI, Keith Richards is arrested for hitting a photographer, and Mick Jagger for obstruction. Meanwhile, 15,000 fans are growing restless at the Boston Garden, and Mayor White, fearing a riot, demand that they be released. They hit the stage 4 hours late at 12:45 am, and close the show at 2 am with “Street Fighting Man”!
