On June 12, 1964, The Rolling Stones offer a concert in Minneapolis Minnesota, as part of their first Tour of the United States of America "Big Reggie's Danceland" in the now-defunct Excelsior amusement park, with capacity for a thousand people.

In this concert the Rolling Stones were booed, it must be understood that the well-known British invasion was beginning and the Rolling Stones had no record success in the United States of America, days before the Beach Boys had packed Big Reggie's Danceland ballroom, but the only reference that was made of the Rolling Stones in the United States were the four previous presentations of the Tour in California and Texas.

The place was practically empty, perhaps the reason was that the music fans were not willing to shell out 6 dollars to see Mick Jagger and his companions, as one attendee of the show put it.

Another noted that he initially wondered who these Beatle wannabes are, but after the performance he thought they were cool.

Excelsior resident Nancy Olmsted told the Sun Sailor that the performance was nothing like other high-energy shows they've had at the venue. "Mick Jagger had straight front bangs... I don't remember him dancing with the energy that he is now known for," she told the publication.

The late Jimmy Hutmaker, who died in 2007 at age 75, told KARE's Allen Costantini in 1999 that he and Mick Jagger had discussed the lack of cherry Coke at a local drugstore. Hutmaker says that he told Jagger: "You can't always get what you want." Jagger has never confirmed whether that exchange was the seed for the future hit song, which includes a reference to a drugstore, a cherry soda and Hutmaker's nickname "Mr. Jimmy."

Another performance attendee Bob Roepke noted that there were usually a lot of young people there, a lot of girls there, a lot of people to meet and talk to" and on the night of June 12, 1964 there was also music, an unknown British band that had to play in a practically empty room and that he had the opportunity to see because he arrived when the concert had started and they had lowered the price of admission to 50 cents. "I saw the Rolling Stones for 50 cents, for about 15 minutes," he said . "It was an interesting memory and, frankly, fun."
