"Ain't it time we said goodbye" to Great Britain, not each other. It's a chronicle of the 71 Goodbye to Great Britian Tour (that's what it was billed as back then)

Good point.
About that name "Goodbye to Britain" tour... in another thread we discussed the never-to-be Undercover and Dirty Works tour. But we never discuss the never-to-be "Sticky Fingers Tour", or call this one that.
OK, Stones didnĀ“t release the album until a month after the tour and by that time they were already in Exile. But on the other hand they themselves have rarely related the tours namewise to the albums. So it somehow makes sense to link it to Stick Fingers. Philosophically speaking of course. Does anybody else think of "the Goodbye... tour" as "the Sticky Fingers tour"?

The US 1969 tour was not officially the LET IT BLEED tour, at least as I recall, but... it was, pretty much. They played songs from it. So in a way, sure, it could be seen as the STICKY FINGERS tour. They played at least 3 songs from the LP.

What seems strange, in retrospect is that LIB cane out AFTER the US tour had finished.
Can't imagine that happening today.
One imagines the record companies weren't too impressed?
