Ep. 62: From Pubs to 80,000 - The Struts’ Rolling Stones Breakthrough
Description
This week on The Struts Life, I sit down with Jed Elliott for a whirlwind of tour tales and hard-won wisdom from opening for rock royalty—The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Queens of the Stone Age, and more. Jed relives that pinch-me leap from pub gigs to 80,000 screaming fans, a back-of-the-house “enjoy the ride, boys” from Roger Daltrey, backstage mayhem with Dave and Taylor at MSG, and a goosebump moment when Brandon Flowers praised “Could’ve Been Me.” We get real about what younger bands should never do on a big stage (leave early, keep it classy backstage), why a great camp matters, and the dream double bill The Struts still crave—Queen with Adam Lambert.
Plus, a little fan fun: follow @thestruts and @thestrutshq on Instagram and tag your show story for a chance at a tee.
Hit play for the full ride—because some stories deserve to be heard, not skimmed.
