Mick performed twice at the Tokyo Dome. My friend and I enjoyed both days at the Tokyo Dome. Our seats were next to the PA booth. Halfway through the live show, the venue went dark. Then the intro of Gimme Shelter came on and a spotlight illuminated the PA booth for some reason. In the blinding light, Mick Jagger appeared right next to our seats.
Like Keith would say of Jagger's idea of a solo concert - play the Stones hits with different musicians. The songs of the Stones don't work without Keith Richards. Strange but true to this day.
I think its the most apparent without charlie. Holy shit this drummer is butchering miss you. Yeah bro do an over the top bombastic fill every 2 bars. Absolutely terrible
Nothing wrong with the boys having a break from each other in the 80s, I'm sure it made them stronger as a band. The magic of the Stones might not be here, but Mick shines.
I agree and I really like this era as it's the time I came on board as a Stones fan. This may sound sacrilegious to Stones purists but my introduction to the Rolling Stones was largely through Mick's '88 Australia tour. That and a borrowed copy of Rolled Gold from my older brother.
Mick happy and on fire with new people on stage after seeing the same old ugly & grumpy faces for the last 25 years; the guy needed a solo break just as any Joe needs a new car every 10-12 years
i remember this was happened back in 1988, and i was there that concert. we were actually expecting the quality of the sound was going lower, because of the dome shape. but when the show begun, it totally blow my head. the drum sound like specutacular, and two guitar sounded super cool! you can see that easily how japanese were going crazy on that night. it was definitely my best rock concert ever, and mick jagger was the king of rock music history together with jeff beck group band.
Mick picked a great band to solo tour with. I'm sure this must have kicked the stones up the arse and made them tighten their game for their 89/90 tour.
I was in Sao Paulo, Brazil a couple of weeks ago and came across a copy of this bootleg DVD. Ultimate musicianship with guys like Satriani, Phillips and Jagger himself.
GREAT BAND ! Simon Phillips on drums, Doug Wimbish on bass, Joe Satriani and Jimmy Ripp on guitars, Phil Ashley and Susie Davis on keyboards and vocalists Bernard Fowler, Carol Kenyon, Jenny Douglas and Valerie Scott !
Don't forget Richard Cottle on sax, and one of the vocalists was the great Lisa Fischer! And special guest percussionist Tsutomu Yamashita on Sympathy For The Devil & Satisfaction.
@@georgehenderson7783 Yes! I noticed the great Simon Phillips and Joe Sztriani instantly. And to think, some ignorant jack ass, in a comment above referred to it as Micks little jerk off band? I thought immediately, well may not sound like the Stones (who's gonna sound like Keith, Ronnie, Daryll and Charlie anyway? Lol). But they certainly have their chops and no one can say they are not competent. Lol Maybe even overqualified? Lol
@@markvaught672 Agreed, I really think this is one of the best concerts ever performed, every song was great, including Gimme Shelter, which I see a couple of people didn't like, lol. I thought Mick plunging through the crowd to get to the main stage was pretty ballsy. 😎

Mick brought this same band to Australia immediately afterwards, first I ever heard of Joe Satriani. They were much tighter by the time they got to Australia, some great musicians here.
First time I have ever seen this after so many years. Having been a hardcore Stones fan since the 1970s and seen them countless times, this is interesting. Independent of my feelings of Mick playing so many Stones songs without the proper band, you can see he is not comfortable at times. Many mistakes on starting or stopping the songs. Also, visibly shaken for several minutes after the debacle of going into the crowd during Gimme Shelter. That decision never happened again. Still, overall enjoyable.
This was the first time Mick came to Japan. How much we were looking forward to this!! However, the guitarists were too accurate, too fast, too powerful, too good. So I realized that I really loved Keith. Then I went to see him in LA, but the band finally came to Japan 6 months later for the first time. この前日に東京ドームで試合をしたマイク・タイソンも見にきてましたね。
If this whole Jagger solo thing actually gained steam, it could've meant the end of the Stones. Thankfully, it just found it's place after he saw it wasn't going far, the sponsors and producers threw so much money at them in 1989 that they just could not pass it up. 31 years later, they are still playing stadiums and making music.
I totally disagree, Mick's solo career continued regardless of the Stones. This break also served Keith, he matured a lot in those years. I'm a fan of the Stones, but I believe they have the right to do things on their own. I'm not a huge fan of Mick's solo works, however I loved Primative Cool and Wandering Spirit. On this tour I think Mick has decided to quit some vices.
Vi siete mai chiesti perche i rolling stones stanno ancora a fare concerti e sprigionano un energia senza euguali ho visto il cocerto solista di mick jagger a tokio nell 88 che spettacolo i giapponesi se loricorderanno per tutta la vita long live of rock n roll
Hey there is one difference between German Actor Klaus Kinski and Mick Jagger. : Mick is still living ! *lol*The best Performance I ever heard from M.J. Great Band !! Kiss and Greets from Germany. Klaus
Without being a fan, Satriani does well on the guitar. He must have listened a lot to Mick Taylor's stuff. That helps to keep that roughness we like in "it's only R&R" and "sympathy" for exemple, imho.
Que en esta gira hubiera visitado Latinoamérica hubiera sido todo un éxito!!! Sus discos solistas de Mick Jagger tienen buenas rolas. Yo creo que si los Rolling stones se hubieran desintegrado en los ochentas Jagger también hubiera echo una gran carrera solista
The tour included Japan, Australia, and Indonesia only. I think it was 31 shows in total. Mick never brought the tour elsewhere to my knowledge, which says a lot about his level of pride and ownership regarding the results of the band, sound, feeling, etc. Also, his then-current solo album "Primitive Cool" was not well-received commercially or critically; probably accelerating the erosion of confidence in undertaking a broader tour.
Satriani interpretations of Keith Richards are intrresting. Let me put it this way, it's a lot more Rock than Roll, if that makes sense. A Stones song demands the wearing of the guitar as low as possible, so we may not just Rock but rock n ROLL as well🙂😎
The audio is so bad on this recording, that it makes difficult to give a completely accurate opinion, I also think chosen tempos may have also affected this as well. When the Stones toured in the late 70s there groove was at its best, those may have been there best overall performances.
@@marko1970 I've read Mick saying that ' tempos ' are the one thing he & Keith really disagree about in all their various bickerings. Keith thinks Mick wants everything too fast ( like this non Stones version! ) & Jagger wants Keith to 'wake up ' a bit !! They nearly always reach the perfect point of course, like Tumbling Dice eg , plus Keith has Charlie on his side haha ! sorry Mick.
Putting Gimme Shelter into the lineup must have really pissed off Keith as that was essentially his song. He wrote the whole thing while waiting to pick up Anita Pallenberg after shooting a scene screwing Mick for "Performance".
