History
Tickets were in high demand; on 1 April announced that the demand for three dates at London's Earls Court was such that they had received more than one million applications in the mail. Subsequently three more dates were added there.[1] The routing also saw two dates in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, the Stones' first time in a Communist country since an April 1967 foray to Warsaw.
The tour began a few days after the 23 April release of the group's album Black and Blue.
The show's live performances tended to be sloppy and rushed, testimony to the extent of Keith Richards' addictions; Mick Jagger also slurred his way through some of the numbers, which was his then new way of singing. The shows at in Paris on 6 June and 7 June formed much of the basis for the 1977 live album Love You Live. Tragedy struck the band on the night of the 6 June performance, when Richards was informed by his common law wife, Anita Pallenberg, that their 10-week-old baby Tara had died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
