Best tour they ever did IMO.I wish we would get more shows from this tour. 30 or so shows were recorded.

I think that photo is from the last gig on the 1982 tour. From Leeds, England.

35 years ago today, the Stones opened their 1981 tour at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, PA. I was there; it was a beautiful September day and lots of great memories despite a sloppy start from the band. It was still so much fun. As the tour progressed they would play much better as evidenced in Let's Spend The Night Together, Still Life, and Hampton. Some people say the tour was lousy but it's one of my favorite Stones tours. I loved the setlist, a generous helping of songs that were new at the time and plenty of unexpected deep cuts as well. Never expected them to open with Under My Thumb, or to hear Let's Spend The Night Together or Time Is On MY Side. It was the last tour where they took chances and jammed onstage, unlike the professional approach they would take from 1989 on. When they clicked it was magic. It was also special to me as it's the closest I've ever been to the Stones, right in front of the stage. Hell, I could see the Marlboro logo on Keith's cig pack and Mick was right over my head in the cherry picker. Good times..

Pretty sure you're right. Bobby Keys is in there. That looks remarkably like Jeff Lynne next to Charlie.

Worst tour they ever did. Are you serious when you say LSTNT and Still Life showed them sounding well?

I was 19 at the time; had been getting into the Stones classic catalog for a few years. What I heard of the tour was a big disappointment and gave me the idea they were largely a spent force. So I went back to discovering their old albums.

It's most likely that the 1975-76 tours are the worst Stones tours...

Then again, the BANG tour wasn't exactly good either.
