he cancelled the US leg of the tour because the ticket sales were so low.
i think we've been seeing the repercussions of that blow to his confidence ever since.
i'm not finding fault - far be it from me to judge what it takes to give that cat the confidence he needs
to go out there and do what he does, bless his face! but i do think the solo-tour thing was ...
an iffy decision, let's put it that way.

mick didn't want to tour to support DW (a good call, btw) which outraged keef. the solo thing, in general, is what peeved keef - mick wanted to go it alone and keef's a team guy....basic essence of the feud.

okay, i'm not hallucinating - it's mentioned in Bockris's Keith biography:
"Though Jagger's US tour was canceled as a result of poor sales, Keith's wasn't." no further details.
the way that's phrased, it might not mean shows were scheduled in the US and then cancelled;
it might mean a US leg of the tour never got off the drawing board due to Primitive Cool not selling too well.
like i said it's also mentioned briefly in some documentary - maybe not Let It Bleed,
but something along those lines ... i really hope someone who knows the details will turn up and enlighten us.

>> Re: MJ US Tour cancellation...I believe you.....just wasn't aware of it <<

but now *i* want to know more about it, if anyone has any facts to add
(and don't forget: if you're on your bike, wear white - evening all!)

With the right promotion, I truly believe that Mick Jagger solo could attract as many people as RS concerts...

I find it easier to point out Mick songs and Keith songs than on the earlier albums.
I could be wrong of course. That's what hunches usually are.

not in my opinion.....and a Robert Plant Tour does not attract in the same
way that a Led Zeppelin concert would. Even Plant WITH Jimmy Page doesn't
attract the same attention as a Led Zeppelin Concert.
...and there are many other examples too.
