I still listen to some '60's-era Rolling Stones' music. The main attraction for me was Brian Jones - my 13-year-old self had a huge crush on him! It was just about over when I saw the Stones perform in June '66 though. IIRC my ticket cost either $4.50 or $5.50 (which was the top price). The McCoys, Trade Winds, and Standells opened for the Stones.
