The Rolling Stones : ABC's 20/20 Steel Wheels Tour 1989 (RARE)

[@jeffe9842]

Now, it's 2021, 32 years later, and they're still going strong. Been watching some of their current tour dates and I'm amazed. Mick's, Keith's, and Ronnie's appearances have gotten older but they are still playing like it's 1989. RIP Charlie.

Is there anybody anywhere comparable to these guys? Their talents are off the charts and always have been.

[@janeceeastwood8035]

No. The Rolling Stones are in a league of their own. As fine as I thought The Beatles were, they only toured for 3-4 years…no comparison. The Stones rule!

Agreed

The Stones still are and always will be the best band in the WORLD. Thanks boys.

Wow! 46 looks young on Jagger! '89 was my graduation year, I remember all the hype for that tour. I have always liked Mick Jagger, his voice and annunciation of words when singing. Older songs were really good.

[@soph3420]

The older we get, the more we see that age is just a number. 1989 was my high school graduation as well. My mother is 84 and she didn't start declining in health until 81, and that's only because she didn't take care of herself. We have great examples in the Stones to keep active and to go get a tune up when needed like Mick just did.

[@BeefheartLynch]

I caught the Steel Wheels tour in Cincinnati and Indianapolis, and the Tattoo You tour in Chicago in 1981. The Tattoo You show was incredible. My first Stones concert and it did not disappoint. Flash forward 8 years and the Steel Wheels tour. They were even better. I caught the Cincinnati show early in the tour and the band was just tight and sounded incredible, same for the Indianapolis show. Back then, people thought the Stones were washed up. They definitely were not. Like a fine wine, it seems like the Stones got better with age. I've not caught any of their concerts since the Steel Wheels tour, but from what I've heard, they can still rock with the best of them. Long live the Rolling Stones!

[@no1nestandsalone387]

[@bjones8470]

I was fortunate to see the 81 tour. It was my first Stones show as well. Saw them again on Steel Wheels and again for Voodoo Lounge. Fantastic shows all three times but for me 81 was my favorite. Not necessarily because they were better but it was just an amazing night the night before and the day of the show. Plus I really loved the sax player who originally played on Waitin On A Friend which is a favorite of mine and just sounded so great that night

[@vincenzostr4488]

Steel Wheels tour i think is the last tour where they played really well

[@rebeccawagner4167]

I was at the Steel Wheels tour at it was phenomenal and amazing. Mick was always ready to party with the fans. The Stones are definitely delivering on bad ass rock and roll 🎉🎉. This is a experience of a lifetime 🎉🎉. They are hitting on all cylinders. I'm so blessed that they started touring again 🎉🎉

[@manuelmota2821]

[@toms4442]

I remember back in 1981 when tattoo you was released I've gone to the record store to pick it up, I was 14 years old and a man it was probably in about as 50s saw what I had in my hands while I was in line and ask me if I was just getting into the stones. I told him that I had been a fan sense some girls back in 78 he kind of scoffed at me and said oh you go that far back. Hahaha! I remember when this first aired on 20/20 I wonder how many 14 year olds I just gotten into the stone then? 1989 seems like a lifetime ago. In a 1980 interview John Lennon said the amazing thing is not that the Beatles broke up, but that the stones didn't. Some people say they have a pact with the Devil, I guess we'll find out in 2060 when they're doing there one more go around the world tour! One more quote from Pete Townshend from his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of the stones, don't grow old gracefully guys, it wouldn't suit you! Keep on rockin guys!
