A quick search yields mostly positive reviews indeed of Undercover. Well. Forget what I said about that in relation to a DW tour then.

Dandelion, I seem to recall mixed reviews. I loved Undercover, but remember reading some criticism... and then Mick dismissed it later on as "ok". It did not sell poorly, but it didn't do nearly as well as Tattoo You, so I think the band, or Mick anyway, did not see it as much of a success. Of course, we're talking 30 years ago, so my memory could be slightly off about this!

I agree I think that Jagger dismissed it because it didn't sell well and prolly because the band started bickering big time by then.

I think the reviews were mostly good for Undercover but it didn't sell nearly as well. Undercover of the Night is hardly a commercial sounding song, compared with SMU.

Yep, good reviews, mediocre sales.
But the singles were as commercial as it gets, though.

Concerning Keith really wanting to bring that album on the road it might have been an interesting setlist...lots of undercover? which songs of the album?
another warhorse section, we´re still BEFORE the Vegas years...
what do you think?

Poor sales of Undercover confirm my suspects that the average Stones fan have very bad taste in music

What would a DIRTY WORK tour 1985/86 have looked like?
The tour t-shirt probably would have looked something like this:

Was there ever a more annoying drum track?
It's not Charlie is it.

Solo Mick had had his head turned by then as well.
He thought he could be like Bowie or Michael Jackson.
mission saved. and he was as bowie, nearly. bowie was bad in the mid 80s, dance/tonight/neverletmedown.
