The Rolling Stones American Tour 1972
The Rolling Stones American Tour 1972 was a much-publicized and much-written-about concert tour of the United States and Canada in June and July 1972 by The Rolling Stones. Constituting the band's first performances in the United States following the Altamont Free Concert in December 1969, critic Dave Marsh would later write that the tour was "part of rock and roll legend" and one of the "benchmarks of an era The tour in part supported the group's Exile on Main St. album, which was released a few weeks earlier on 12 May. It was also part of a tour-America-every-three-years rotation that the group established in 1969 and maintained through 1981.

The tour ended with four shows over three consecutive nights at New York City's Madison Square Garden, the first night of which saw 10 arrests and two policemen injured, and the last leading to confrontations between the crowd outside Madison Square Garden and the police. The last show on 26 July, Jagger's birthday, had balloons and confetti falling from Madison Square Garden's ceiling and Jagger blowing the candles off a huge cake. Pies were also wheeled in, leading to a pie fight between the Rolling Stones and the audience.

Following the final performance, a party was held in Jagger's honor by Ahmet Ertegun at the St. Regis New York. Guests included Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Andy Warhol, the Capote entourage, and Zsa Zsa Gabor, while the Count Basie Orchestra provided musical entertainment. At the event, Dylan characterized the tour as "encompassing" and "the beginning of cosmic consciousness."

As 1972 began the Stones were in France finishing work on Exile On Main Street. Once the tracks were recorded Mick and Keith took them to LA for mixing. Decca took advantage of the gap to release the excellent Hot Rocks compilation in the US and the Milestones collection in the UK both of which sold very well. BUT the main event of 1972 was the Stones' long awaited North American Tour. To prepare for it they took over the Rialto Theatre in Montreux in May for a week of rehearsals some of which were filmed and can be see on the dvd Ladies And Gentlemen. The rehearsal was needed as the Stones included many new recordings from Exile in the set. The band pleayed no songs from before 1968 and they also left out SFTD which may associated with Altamont. The 1972 tour was more about excess. As Keith Richards commented in his book: "The whole entourage had exploded in terms of numbers, of roadies and technicians and of hangerson and groupies. We become a pirate nation moving on a huge scale of under our own flag with lawyers, clowns, attendans".

IORR memories of the show
I went to the show with a hippie girlfriend. We smuggled in a hipflask and several well-packed Js. Found we had seats about 25 rows back and to the side, with a pretty decent view, at least for the Rectum, as we called the hall. I was always a big Stevie Wonder fan, so when he came out with Wonderlove, I was jazzed. Bummed, though, that the hardcore Stones fans yapped through much of his show even though he was on fire.

The lights went up. Huge marijuana and cigarette haze. Then when the lights went down again, they opened up on the band of wastrels on stage. From there, we were transported. It remains the all-time single greatest rock and roll show I've ever seen. Even with a huge number of Dylan shows dating back to the 1974 tour with the Band, with a slew of rock festivals dating back to the first festival on the East Coast (Miami 69, with the Dead and Zappa), and with great Stones shows since and hundreds of wonderful concerts over the past 30 years, it remains the all-time highlight.

As great as Philadelphia Special sounds, I can only recommend cranking it as loud as you can get it, light up a doobie, pour some Jack Daniels and imagine the boys taking over the stage for 80 minutes of classics, joined by Stevie for a rousing Uptight/Satisfaction finale...and then hearing from the announcer on exit that the show has been recorded!
