Could this be one of my favorite STP pics?

Agreed. I've seen enough to know that I must have this book. But thank you just the same.

This is one I will have to have. I never get tired of seeing pics from that tour - it was epic/iconic in a way the others were not.

Bill, Brian, Mick and Keith have probably knowingly shagged 13 - 14 year olds.

Agreed. All other Taylor-era tours come close, especially the '69 tour (which is more historically significant for several reasons), but the '72 is the most legendary, IMHO.

But the best one imo was the 73 tour, because they did extraordinary things during the best shows of that tour.
A book with pics from the 73 tour would be very welcome indeed.
But well, I could do with some more pics from the 72 tour as well!

Yeah, the '73 tour is a bit underdocumented, especially in terms of off-stage pictures and videos.
I think part of the '72 STP mythology stems from the fact that it took place in the USA, the original land of blues, country, R'n'R and the backdrop for the themes on Exile On Main Street. Places like the Playboy mansion in Chicago, the deep south, New York City, Hollywood and Washington are more rock and roll than Berlin, Rotterdam and even London. A whole lot of photographers, writers and filmmakers also made sure it would go down in history as a classic rock 'n' roll tour of excesses.
Also, I think the '73 tour was decently covered by local media, but unlike in the US, they didn't have any journalists or photographers following the through the whole tour like Robert Frank or Robert Greenfield. I have a Swedish book called "The Rolling Stones i Sverige" and it has a couple of amazing pics and anecdotes, among them from the Stones' press conference at a Danish porn club in '73. If someone was to collect stuff like that from all over Europe, there could be some great stuff published.

There are some stunning unseen photos in here,it is a real treasure. So many captions are incorrect however. It seems that the authors were completely unaware that Marshall shot the Long Beach show, which is where many of the "white suit" pics came from, as well as the backstage shots featuring Rose Taylor and Jagger's pink "bathrobe."

Good catch: the compilers do indeed over-credit the LA Forum to stage shots clearly taken at other venues.
In addition, they are silent on other shots that are easily identified by STP photo detectives. For example, the crystal-clear Jagger purple suit shot on p. 105 is San Diego for sure, and the two-page spreads on p. 106-7 and p. 108-9 are both Winterland.

Its funny to think that: in 1979, I was in the 6th grade. In my school library there was a book called Rock, Pop and Soul, basically a biographical encyclopedia of popular music. The Stones had just started to creep into my consciousness and I looked them up in the book. It had the standard bio up to that point, and the photo accompanying their brief chapter was of Jagger on stage in 72...it was in color so I remember that blue jumpsuit and the painted stage and Jagger looking wild. But to me, there was something so 'old' about the photo - I had not yet read the Stones mythology, so it just seemed like something from a time warp....like everything did when your 13. This was right after Some Girls, so the photo was my first impression of mythical Stones, although it didn't seem mythical at the time, just 'old', like from another time. Its weird to think that more than 30 years later, that tour, that costume, that stage and all the photos documenting it...are so alive and timeless. These pics take me back to how my 13-year old self saw them for the first time and how they've become larger than life.

I can't understand why a certain poster posted almost every photo from the Dominique Tarle Exile book by Genesis in a thread but no one worries about copyright.
Voila
Most confusing. Are copyrights different for limited editions?
