Somebody on facebook clued me into this map, put together by vizzuality.

Here's some of what the company has to say about it:

THE PROJECT

To celebrate the launch of version 2.0 of our geospatial tool CartoDB, we wanted to develop a small and quick visualization to demonstrate the tool's technical capabilities, and show some of the interesting things that can be told through maps.

So we started thinking and then the idea came: what could be better than mapping 50 years of Rolling Stones tours?

THE RESULTS

An interactive visualization that displays all Rolling Stones tours, allowing fans to navigate their almost 1 million kilometers spent on the road.

Check it out:

It's been posted here a few times before, but always cool to see again.

I went through the map, great stuff. Is it thorough though? I think it missed the first US tour in 1964...got this from Wikipedia, and didn't see it in 1964. I'm only getting 3 tours of UK in 1964:

Urban Jungle is in the map summarized with Steel Wheels - you can see the european locations. 50 & Counting is missing .....

That's because this map was made before the 50 & Counting tour.

Nice job, but 1976 needs a correction. Münster is about 60 km north of Dortmund. In the map it's placed right next to Berlin.

..What's 'interactive' about it?

Some dates to add: 1982 3 shows in Frankfurt, 3 in Rotterdam, 2 in Collogne etc.
