Rolling Stones - 1981-12-14 - Kansas City, MO (SBD)

Rolling Stones Back To Back 1981 - #1: When the Rolling Stones went on tour of the US in 1981 in support of their soon to be number #1 album Tattoo You, Mick Jagger wasn’t completely in favor of hitting the concert trail once again. That didn’t stop Jagger or the band from finding ways to make plenty of money. Ticket sales for the 50 date itinerary grossed over $50 million, at an average ticket price of $16. The Stones garnered another $1 million from Jovan Musk, who in return were allowed to print their name on each and every ticket sold. It was quite ironic that the Stones, with their bad boy image, who had railed against advertising in the lyrics to Satisfaction, would be one of the first groups to engage a corporate sponsor. More cash rolled in on December 18, as the Stones’ show from Hampton VA, the next to last performance of the tour, became the first concert by any band to be broadcast on pay per view (the Grateful Dead had used closed circuit TV for their October 31, 1980 broadcast from Radio City). The end of the tour the next night didn’t mean the end of the financial windfall for the Stones. In June 1982, the band released the live album, Still Life, featuring highlights from the 1981 tour, which went to number 5 on the Billboard charts, selling over 1 million copies despite less than stellar reviews. In 1983, the Stones released the concert film, Let’s Spend The Night Together, showcasing songs from their 1981 shows on November 5th in New Jersey and December 13th in Tempe. The film grossed another $50 million for the band. All that money making did have one residual benefit for fans of the Stones. The band taped almost every show of the tour to amass material for the live album and movie. As such, over 30 soundboards from the 1981 tour are in circulation. This one captures the Stones on December 14, 1981, 3 dozen years ago today, in Kansas City with Mick Taylor sitting in!  Download this one, the come back tomorrow fro night 2 in KC.
