My day was spent mostly in meetings with a very unhappy customer and follow-ups with colleagues. After dining at a very pleasant restaurant in downtown Florence, a colleague pointed this historical marker while we were walking back to our hotel. The Holiday Inn mentioned in the marker has given way to a large Hampton Inn, but the history is still great.
In December 1969, the Rolling Stones recorded these hits which were released on Sticky Fingers in a room at the old Holiday Inn.
Scenes of recording the songs in the Holiday Inn room were reportedly included in the movie documentary Gimme Shelter from the infamous Altamont Concert where a concert attendee was murdered by a Hells Angels member acting as a bodyguard for the Stones.
