Edited by Flip. Jo Bergman: I never noticed anything about Keith particularly till 1970, and then not so much Keith as with Anita. Anita was violently ill. It was quite noticeable. By '72 it was VERY noticeable. I didn't think Keith was going to live through the '70 tour of Europe. Mick Jagger on the 1970 tour: We've got to start cutting down, you know, because it just gets so expensive. I mean, it's like we've really worked and worked and worked and then, at the end of it, you've got people saying, Well, I paid too much to get it, and then I'm saying, Well, we spent it all in transportation. Do you know what I mean? That's what happens. And people get angry. Especially that European tour, the ticket prices were rather high. We actually had nothing at the end of it because... we had a bigger crew and like it was a much bigger presentation than anything we'd done in America, and the places weren't as big and the tickets weren't as expensive. So we came out with nothing. Which we knew before we started but you can't do that all the time. Notes from Wikipedia on the 1970 tour. Edited by Flip. This was the Stones' first tour in Europe since 1967, and became part of a pattern (not always followed) wherein the group would play North America, continental Europe, and the United Kingdom on a three-year rotating cycle. Shows were similar to that of the 1969 American Tour, but with the material more familiar to audiences as Let It Bleed had now been out for some months. The Stones continued to preview new material, however, as "Brown Sugar", "Dead Flowers", and "You Gotta Move" were set list regulars; they would not appear on record until Sticky Fingers was released a half year later. Unlike many of the group's tours of this era, here the group only played one show a night with only one exception (Milan). The band played "Gimme Shelter" only once, in Malmo, Sweden (the first show of the tour). It can be heard on the bootleg Secrets Travel Fast, and features solos by Keith Richards, Bobby Keys, and Mick Taylor. Following a tradition set since the band's earliest days, the tour was not without its altercations. The show at Råsunda Stadion in Stockholm on 4 September was interrupted by police who feared that fans, provoked by Jagger, would storm the stage. The singer duly responded by pointing the microphone to the police on stage and soon after suggested the audience would sit down for the next song (the slower "Love in Vain"). On 14 September a thousand or so forged tickets were rejected at a show at Ernst-Merck-Halle in Hamburg; two hundred policemen were needed to handle disappointed fans. Two days later at Deutschlandhalle in West Berlin, there were nasty battles between assorted youths and the police before the show, and some 50 arrests were made. Then on 1 October at Milan's Palazzo Dello Sport, two thousand youths tried to crash the gates to get into the show. Police had to use tear gas to quell the riot; there were injuries among both the cops and the crowd, and 63 arrests were made. No live recordings of the tour have been officially released; there is only one known soundboard recording from Paris.
