Revisit The Rolling Stones Infamous 1972 North American Tour on New Podcast

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

When the Rolling Stones kicked off their 48-date North American summer tour in 1972, Rolling Stone writer Robert Greenfield was by their side to chronicle every second of the madness for his book Stones Touring Party. He logged more than 60 hours of interviews with the band and their associates, but much of that audio has sat in the vault for the past five decades.

It’s finally going to be heard as part of the iHeartPodcast series Stones Touring Party , kicking off on August 2. Hosted by writer Jordan Runtagh, the podcast will explore the mayhem of life on the road and the broader chaos engulfing the country as the Vietnam War was winding down and major American cities were going up in flames.

“Either I stopped touring, or I didn’t,” Jagger says. “It was as simple as that. A few people said don’t go — friends of mine. They said, ‘You’ve really gotta be more careful; you can’t go.’ I said, ‘Well, it’s more or less what I do, so I gotta do it!’ Either I do it, or I don’t do it. If I don’t do it, what am I going to do? There was a few places where it did get scary, and there was a lot of guns confiscated and stuff like that. Don’t say I wasn’t scared — I was scared shitless!

Stones keyboardist/roadie Ian Stewart, who died in 1985, also shared some thoughts on the matter with Greenfield back in 1972. “The way I think about it is if anybody was going to ‘do’ Mick they’d do him,” he said. “They’d do him with a rifle from the back of the hall or something like that. If anybody really set out to bloody kill him, they’d kill him.”

Needless to say, Jagger and the rest of the Stones survived the tour intact. And according to many hardcore fans, the tour represented their absolute pinnacle as a live band.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger on their 1972 US tour, from the documentary film Cocksucker Blues.

The Rolling Stones tour the US – archive

28 June 1972: The Rolling Stones toured America to wild acclaim in 1969. Geoffrey Cannon describes the impact of their return visit

KSAN FM RADIO, San Francisco , ran a competition to give away tickets to the Rolling Stones’ concert at Winterland. The prize was to go to the most imaginative answer to the question: what would you do to get a pair of Rolling Stones tickets? The winner, a man, said: “Shave off all the hair on my body, and smoke it.”

Inside Winterland, after Stevie Wonder had wound up his support act, roadies roll back a carpet on-stage. Underneath there’s revealed a double serpent, in green and yellow, covering an area the size of two boxing rings laid side by side. The tongues of the serpents extend mid-stage, so that Jagger will sing within their painted flicker.

In this circus, the audience also perform. Looking round, there’s a girl styled like Nina Simone; another like Janis Joplin. A man wears a Jimi Hendrix hat, with Curtis Mayfield glasses. Another is styled like Dr John, in white robes, a white fur hat, and a stick. Another, like Alice Cooper, make-up starred round his eyes, T-shirt slashed down his torso. Another, like Randy Newman. Another like Jesus, another like Angela Davis. In front of me, a man wears coveralls stamped “City Transfer United Van Lines,” which in this company appears to be the wildest legend of all; until I guess he really is a van driver, for the Stones’ equipment.

Winterland used to be the home of the Ice Follies. Most of the audience will have gone there with their parents years ago. The auditorium is the size of a hangar. Thirty feet above the stage, banks of coloured lights beam down; and eight shafts of white light, from 50 yards in front of the stage, focus on the spot between the serpents’ tongues. Way above the stage, a vast banner displays the Stones’ insignia: a red tongue, stuck out. In this flux of impressions, the band walks on, and Mick sings.

He’s wearing dark-spotted silver satin trousers, a thick waistband of red and blue, spangles on his neck and temples, a silver-laced vest. Jim Price and Bobby Keyes, playing horns, roar out the chorus (this is “Bitch,” from the album “Sticky Fingers”), and the concrete floor shivers beneath my feet.

The Stones were back performing in San Francisco for the first time in two and a half years. Last time 300,000 people (the population of San Francisco is under a million) had gone to see them 50 miles east of Berkeley, at Altamont Speedway . The morning of the Winterland concert, the newspaper carried a Reuters report of the first concert of the 1972 tour. “Vancouver. Thirty-one policemen were injured on Saturday night as they battled a crowd of 2,000 rock and fire-bomb throwing youths unable to get into a Rolling Stones concert.”

What did Mick Jagger himself want of the tour? “Who wants 300,000 people going potty?” he said. And, talking of violent audience response: “I was really ill at ease. I wasn’t ready for all the people jumping all over the stage. I’m being all serious, and we’re trying to play and sing as well as we can.”

Back in Winterland Mick hunches into the microphone, left finger wagging, his voice piercing, at the top of its range, the words of “Gimme Shelter,” the anthem of Altamont, blurred but known by heart.

“Rape, murder, it’s just a shot away, It’s just a shot away.”

The words of the songs, almost indecipherable, hover on the edge of sense. Jagger’s voice sneers and slurs. Side-stage, in darkness sometimes lightened as the spotlights shift, people dance, dream-like, solitary, many half naked, eyes clenched shut. They bob and circle each other.

Heat, lights, sound, begin to melt us in Winterland. A physical thrill, as the band starts up on the killer of the new album, “All Down The Line.” Everyone starts clapping, hands above their heads. The album has only been out for three weeks, and yet everyone knows the song. Mick described the song to me. “I saw it as this railway, and then it widened out. Now it had all these women working and crying. The railway became a railway of life.”

“All down the line We’re gonna open up the throttle, yeah All down the line We’re gonna bust another bottle, yeah.”

The sound can’t be louder. Mick drops to the floor, crawls around, mike in one hand, belt in the other, to disjointed cries from the audience, starting up “Midnight Rambler,” ambiguous between absurdity and hurt.

The band winds up behind him, with the force of a locomotive, and hurtles into “Rip This Joint,” the Stones’ celebration of American speed. The temperature is up in the nineties now, with the maximum humidity of 8,000 sweating people. After Winterland, there were to be fights in Long Beach, San Diego, and Tucson, as people struggled to get in and experience the Stones. Mick was being a star the hard way: putting himself up front, as he’s done hundreds of times.

All the time, Mick Jagger’s international Raree Show is asking the question, what are the limits? Mick Jagger’s answer is, that he has no idea either. Except that over the years he’s stretched limits in just one area, that of taste, and he’s still stunned to discover just how many people are impressed. The show ended, encore aside, with the song in which he asks himself the question: “Street Fighting Man”:

“Hey! Said my name is called Disturbance I’ll shout and scream, I’ll kill the King I’ll rail at all his servants. Well, what can a poor boy do ‘Cept sing for a rock ‘n’ roll band?”

He brings a box on stage, squats, takes fistfuls of rose petals, kisses them, throws them to the crowd. He whirls and whirls round, bows, and jumps, his iridescent shirt now torn at the shoulder. Through the solid applause, after the band have left the stage, the PA system plays “Greensleeves,” and we all file out.

This article was part of a full page of coverage to celebrate the Stones’ US tour. Read the full coverage , including a backstage diary and an interview with record producer Jimmy Miller.

After Wings’ UK college itinerary, it was all aboard a double decker bus for a major European adventure.

Paul McCartney’s 2022 Got Back tour and Glastonbury Festival headliner showed that his love of getting out on the road to play his songs remained undiminished. It also underlined that the way he tours has itself come quite a long distance.

If we mention the idea of Paul and the band getting on a bus for destinations undiscovered, you may well assume we’re in Magical Mystery Tour territory. Instead, we’re turning back the clock to July 9, 1972. That’s when McCartney and his still relatively new group Wings followed their UK college tour of earlier in the year by getting on a brightly-decorated, open-top London double-decker for the Wings Over Europe itinerary.

Back to college

Paul and the band had amazed and delighted their British fans in February that year, mounting a tour of UK universities. It was his first live schedule since The Beatles finally decided that they couldn’t take the deafening screams and relentless fan mania anymore, ending as a touring entity in 1966. After the late 1971 release of the Wild Life album , the new low-key dates supported the controversial single “Give Ireland Back To The Irish.” The song was banned by radio for its outspoken political stance.

Mary Had A Little Lamb (2018 Remaster)

In dramatic contrast, Wings followed up with a single that was criticized for the absolute opposite reason: the nursery-rhyme approach, literally, of “Mary Had A Little Lamb.” That was their current release as they hopped on a bus with their names proudly and neatly emblazoned on the back: Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough, and Denny Seiwell, with the McCartney children and the road crew also aboard. First destination: Ollioules, in the southwest of France.

“We knew we were going to tour in Europe, and that the weather would be nice, and the idea of being stuck in a bus all the time, going from city to city, hotel to hotel, wasn’t too appealing,” Paul remembers on paulmccartney.com. “So we decided to travel around in an open-top bus and got some sunshine as we travelled from one place to another.”

I Am Your Singer (Remastered 2018)

That first gig took place at the Centre Culterelle, Châteauvallon. Wings introduced a generous 20-song set that would be the basis of a 26-date, nine-country itinerary lasting until  August 24. The July 9 show featured both of the aforementioned singles, as well as tracks from Wild Life including “Bip Bop,” “I Am Your Singer,” and the title song.

Denny Laine’s feature spot

Laine sang his beautiful ballad “Say You Don’t Mind,” which had just been a Top 20 UK hit in March 1972 for former (and future) Zombies singer Colin Blunstone. There were songs from Paul’s immediately pre-Wings projects such as “Maybe I’m Amazed” from McCartney and “Smile Away”   from Ram. The next Wings single “Hi Hi Hi” also featured with some unadulterated rock’n’roll fun, as on covers of “Blue Moon Of Kentucky” and “Long Tall Sally.”

Listen to the best of Paul McCartney & Wings on Apple Music and Spotify.

The intention was to record shows on the tour for a future live release. While that didn’t come to pass, the live version of “The Mess” from the August 21 show in the Hague, Holland, did become the B-side of the 1973 US No.1 single “My Love.”

The Mess (Live At The Hague/1972)

“We painted the outside psychedelic, like a magic bus,” McCartney says of their tour transport on that halcyon trip. “If you look at it very straight, very conventionally, it was quite a mad thing to do, to put a playpen on the top deck of the bus and put all the children in there while driving around Europe. It was not what you’d expect from a normal band. But we weren’t a normal band.”

What happened for Paul in 1972

From Wikipedia :

Following the addition of guitarist Henry McCullough, Wings’ first concert tour began in 1972 with a debut performance in front of an audience of seven hundred at the University of Nottingham. Ten more dates followed as they travelled across the UK in a van during an unannounced tour of universities, during which the band stayed in modest accommodation and received pay in coinage collected from students, while avoiding Beatles songs during their performances. A seven-week, 25-show tour of Europe followed, during which the band played solely Wings and McCartney solo material except for a few covers, including the Little Richard hit “Long Tall Sally”, the only song McCartney played during the tour that had previously been recorded by the Beatles. McCartney wanted the tour to avoid large venues; most of the small halls they played had capacities of fewer than 3,000 people. Of his first two post-Beatles tours, McCartney said, “ The main thing I didn’t want was to come on stage, faced with the whole torment of five rows of press people with little pads, all looking at me and saying, ‘Oh well, he is not as good as he was.’ So we decided to go out on that university tour which made me less nervous … by the end of that tour I felt ready for something else, so we went into Europe. “

This Day In Music

Led Zeppelin – Australia 1972

Published on

Robert Plant

Led Zeppelin’s 1972 Australasian Tour was the only tour of Australia and New Zealand by the British rock band.

The group had built up a loyal following down under with their first four albums all making the top 3 on the Australian charts, (both Led Zep II and III reached No.1).

The tour commenced on February 16 and concluded on February 29, 1972.

The original plan for this tour was for the group to stop off en route at Singapore for a concert on February 14, but the local authorities refused their entry due to local laws banning males from wearing long hair!

Led Zeppelin received rave reviews for this tour and black and white footage of some of their concert at Sydney on February 27, were filmed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, some of this footage was later made available on the Led Zeppelin DVD, released in 2003.

16th Feb 1972 Led Zeppelin made their Australian live debut when they kicked off a six-date tour at the Subiaco Oval, Perth. Police battled with over 500 fans who rammed locked gates trying to get into the concert. Over 4,000 fans stood outside the venue without tickets.

17th Feb 1972 Police raided the Scarborough Hotel in Perth, Australia where all the members of Led Zeppelin were staying after their debut live performance in the country the night before. Police woke all the members and searched their baggage and belongings but no drugs were found. Jimmy Page told a local paper: “They came into our rooms and started abusing us – they were very rude”.

18th Feb 1972 Memorial Drive, Adelaide. Zeppelin had brought to Adelaide the largest PA system seen in Australia to produce what was expected to be the loudest rock show ever heard.

20th Feb 1972 Led Zeppelin played an afternoon show at Kooyong Tennis Courts, Melbourne to over 15,000 fans. Zeppelin were forced off the stage near the end of the show after a rainstorm developed suddenly at this outdoor venue, but returned to finish the set.

24th Feb 1972 Led Zeppelin appeared in front of over 20,000 fans at the Western Springs Stadium, Auckland, New Zealand, the group’s first ever gig in New Zealand. News reviews the next day reported the band could be heard over 5 miles from the Stadium.

27th Feb 1972 Led Zeppelin appeared at Sydney Showgrounds, Sydney in Australia, over 25,000 fans attending the show.

29th Feb 1972 On the last date of an Australian tour, Led Zeppelin played at the Festival Hall in Brisbane Festival Hall.

On the 20th anniversary of the original release of Led Zeppelin IV , it was announced that ‘Stairway To Heaven’ had logged up an estimated 2,874,000 radio plays, (back to back, that would run for 44 years solid). As of 2000, the song had been broadcast on radio over three million times.

We have a new book Led Zeppelin – The Day I Was There available for pre order. This hardback edition is limited to 500 copies, each numbered 1-500 and signed by the author Richard Houghton.

Led Zeppelin – The Day I Was There is a collection of over 500 eyewitness accounts of seeing the band live, with fans recalling memories of the earliest Yardbirds and Zeppelin shows at UK and European clubs right through the record breaking US tours and the O2 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in 2007. With personal photographs, memorabilia, fascinating anecdotes, and fan stories that have never been published before. Published June 16 2019.

Review: Madness and mayhem as national tour of Sleuth comes to the Cambridge Arts Theatre

D escribed as “the world’s greatest thriller”, Sleuth was written by Anthony Shaffer, a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, and was, perhaps most famously, made into a film in 1972 starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine.

This new touring version, which is on at the Cambridge Arts Theatre this week, stars Neil McDermott - who is probably best known as Ryan Malloy in EastEnders \- as Milo Tindle and Todd Boyce, of Coronation Street fame, as Andrew Wyke.

The play is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, whose many credits include working with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).

With an excellent set creating just the right country house atmosphere, Boyce gets the proceedings off to a bright start, his aristocratic character’s eccentric behaviour setting the scene for the mayhem that’s to follow.

Ably assisted by McDermott, the two are very believable as love rivals, of sorts, and put on a manic first half performance, full of twists and turns.

The special effects are also very impressive, as are the costumes - although I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of the suit with polo shirt look sported by McDermott, preferring what Michael Caine wore in the film. Still, I guess it’s in keeping with the character.

The second half maintains the pace of the first, introducing the character of Inspector Doppler. There is more high-octane action and verbal - and physical - sparring to enjoy before another ‘big reveal’.

As I’d seen the 1972 film fairly recently (another film version came out in 2007, this time with Michael Caine in the Laurence Olivier role and Jude Law taking on the role Caine had played previously), I knew what was coming, but it was still enjoyable watching the story being played out.

Like the film, I felt the play started to ‘drag on’ a bit towards the end, but the ending, when it came, was emphatically done.

I’m not quite sure whether the ‘world’s greatest thriller’ accolade is deserving, but nevertheless this is a solid production that should delight and intrigue theatre-goers.

Sleuth is on at the Cambridge Arts Theatre until Saturday (23 March). Tickets, priced £20-£40, are available from cambridgeartstheatre.com .
