The Rolling Stones Live at Wembley Stadium: Start Me Up Performance
In July 1990, during the Urban Jungle Tour, The Rolling Stones performed at Wembley Stadium, marking a significant moment in their touring history. Prior to this live recording, in 1989, the band had released "Steel Wheels," which rejuvenated their popularity and showcased a more polished sound in a post-punk era. The Urban Jungle Tour was notable not only for its high-energy performances but also for the themes of urban struggle and social issues, resonating with the band's roots in rock and roll. Interestingly, this concert featured "Start Me Up," which became one of their signature songs, initially released in 1981 on the album "Tattoo You." The Wembley show was particularly poignant as it was Bill Wyman's last tour with the group, as he departed in 1993 after more than three decades with the band, marking a transition in The Rolling Stones' lineup and legacy.
