Spanning two months, the tour took the Stones across the continent with stops in cities including Paris, Rotterdam, and Munich before wrapping up on July 25, 1982 in Leeds, England. Known for their electrifying stage presence, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and the band delivered unforgettable shows that solidified their status as one of the greatest live acts in rock history.
Fun fact: The 1982 European Tour was the last time the Rolling Stones would tour with pianist Ian Stewart, an original founding member who continued to perform with the band behind the scenes.
