The Offical website says they started a Canadian and American tour on April of 1965, however it soent actually give any dates of locations. So given the date you mentioned it could be very possible they did perform there.
I found this site on mamma.com searching for the rolling stones, if you want check out some of the others sites they have listed( a lot more listed)you may find the info your looking for.

Thanks for the help...i'll try the site Jfpnatl mentioned.
I have a yearbook from the junior college in San Bernardino for that year that has a circle of signatures in the back that sure looks like Jaggar and the others and below it, in another hand (probably the owner of the yearbook...a girl named Judy), is written "The Rolling Stones, Orange Show, May 15, 1965. I got it at an auction with a few more yearbooks from the same school and was very pleasantly surprised today to find those autographs in it and want to make sure they were real...hence my trying to find out if they did tour this area then.
I have a copy of Stone Alone, Bill Wyman's autobiography of his life in the Stones (he was their bass guitarist since 1962). In the back of the book he lists every concert and TV appearance they made in the 1960's. He kept a journal and the records are probably the most accurate Stones history there is.
Guess what? On May 15, 1965 the Stones played Swing Auditorium, San Bernadino, CA!! Mr. Wyman calls it Swing Auditorium, not the Orange Show, but I'll bet they are one in the same.

Loosecannon...the Orange Show is a fairgrounds for the San Bernardino county Fair which is known as the Orange Show (guess what they used to grow a lot of in this area...oranges!)...on the grounds is the Swing Auditorium.
Thank you for your help! Now I need to figure out what the autographs are worth.

I want it! I've got three marbles, a buckeye and a broken pocket knife, along with my lucky yo-yo. Can we swap?

But seriously, there should be 5 autographs if they all signed.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Brian Jones and Charlie Watts.
Ian Stewart was their Road Manager and sometime piano player, but I doubt if he would have signed since he wasn't officially in the band, although I'm quite sure he was at that concert.
Are the 5 band member signatures there? If so, let me bid on it. I'll do my best to win it, no kidding.

Loosecannon...the three marbles are intriqueing...are they aggies?
I think today is my lucky day. Found those autographs in that yearbook then went to the market and won two tickets to the new theme park at Disneyland. I wonder...maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket?
Those are the ones!! Brian is only signed as Brian though. The autographs are in a circle with Keith and Mick at the top.
I'm having my husband doing the pictures right now so I should have it up by this evening...on my book account (inanutshell). Give me your email and I'll email you when it is up.
