What happened to Mick's band after he regrouped with the Stones in '89? Did they find a new singer?

No, because they werent a 'band'. They were a group of musicians he happened to hire.
Lisa Fischer and Bernard Fowler were of course re-hired for the Stones album and tour the following year. Simon Phillips was the drummer for The Who when they went back on the road in 1989. Joe Satriani resumed his solo career and released a new album a few months later.

So Mick's tour basically set the blueprint for later Stones tours with backup singers and Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil and those kind of songs

Was kinda surprised when he wondered through the crowd during the '81 shows less than a year after Lennon was shot

You would think at 35:47 he would have realized it was a mistake.

And, yes, Gazza and NilsHolgersson are right. When The Rolling Stones finally set foot on the Japanese soil for the first time in 1990 and played unprecedented ten sold-out shows at the Tokyo Dome (remember, that was the culmination period of the economic “bubble” of the country), quite a few people felt it was like a revamped version of Mick’s solo shows they had been treated to two years before. Some even went on to confess there was a somewhat anticlimactic feel about the Stones show they had been dying to see for such a long time. Despite the undeniable “fake Stones” flavour, a number of Japanese fans retain a fond memory from Mick’s solo shows, and, truth be told, some of them seem to have been more impressed by them than the subsequent Steel Wheels Tour, the “real” Stones shows!

I assumed that was done as a one-off stunt for the 'Lets Spend the Night Together' movie.

To me that was a rare Mick error...dangerous....he is smarter than that...he and the security detail could have been seriously hurt...there was "foreign substance" involved there for sure....yikes.

What was the matter with Micks voice? he sings Gimme Shelter so different just one year later on the Steel Wheels tour?
This version of Gimme Shelter sounds a bit like the 70s version but with older Mick.
Tis is 89:

Mick was not in his best nick on these Tokyo shows. He caught a cold in Osaka and had to have the fourth and final Osaka show postponed from March 19 to 28 which as a result ended up as the final Japanese date. As far as I know, the bulk of the TV broadcasted performances are from March 22 which is the first show after three days-off hence his voice. FYI at least Brown Sugar and It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll are from March 23 with the guest appearance of Tina Turner who was touring Japan around the same time. In turn, Mick joined the encore of Tina’s Osaka-jo Hall show, March 27, for Honky Tonk Women, which drove the crowd nuts (I was there, too).
