THE STONES ROLL THROUGH AMERICA

The Rolling Stones' 1981 American tour will long be remembered as the best-kept secret in show business. Newspapers everywhere shunned the spectacle; nowhere on TV were their names even mentioned.

Despite this shoddy treatment, the Stones played to well over a trillion people between coasts. Starting from a small club date in Boston, they managed to work their way up to arenas and stadiums by tour's end. Eventually, Mick Jagger was interviewed by Rona Barrett for our sins.
