When the Rolling Stones failed to appear at the Niwot Farmer’s Market as announced last year, some fans suggested that announcement was a hoax. In reality, it was simply a scheduling error coupled with what Mick Jagger said was “a bit of a brain hiccup on my part.”
When Jagger literally ran into Robin Abb on the ski slopes last year, he promised a concert in Niwot as payback. The date was kept secret to avoid uncontrollable crowds, but the secrecy also added some confusion.
The first scheduled date came and went with the Stones busy in the recording studio, and the second date was never passed on to the Stones’ promoter, who scheduled another appearance.
As the possible Farmers’ Market dates came and went, Jagger scrambled to fulfill his promise. “I may be a bit addled at my age,” he said, “but I don’t forget my promises. Well, I might forget for a while, but I have people who are paid to remind me.”
Not wanting to wait another year, Jagger offered Abb something she couldn’t refuse – a smaller concert in a tiny venue – the dance floor at Rockin’ Robin’s. The Stones whittled down their show to fit the miniature stage, and played an all-acoustic set to a packed house.
“Even though it was acoustic,” one audience member shouted to hear himself, “It was still loud. My ears are still ringing.”
The Stones managed to get in and out of town unnoticed, and neighboring businesses never knew what was happening.
One customer at the Eye Opener, however, thought he heard “sounds like a howling, hungry dog,” at the time of the concert, but also noted that he was a country music fan and didn’t like rock at any distance or volume.

The Left Hand Grange Hall is
celebrating its 100th - give or take a year. It appears that the celebration may
be two years too late, as the building was actually built in 1905.The two-story frame structure on the corner of Franklin and
Second Avenues in Historic Downtown Niwot is the center of the Left Hand
Grange’s activities. The Grange has served the political and social needs of
farmers in the area and the local community since it began.
Now the Grange needs our help. A professional assessment of the building’s condition, funded by a State Historic Fund Grant, was just delivered to the Grange Board. The building is in need of repairs and updates estimated to cost several hundred thousand dollars. [Read More ... ]
