The Rolling Stones

In July 1990, during the Rolling Stones' performance at the Tokyo Dome, the band was riding high on the success of their album "Steel Wheels," which was released in 1989. This album marked a significant resurgence for the band, as it was their first studio album in seven years and re-established their presence in the rock music scene after a period of declining popularity in the 1980s. The "Steel Wheels Tour" was notable not only for its extensive global reach but also for its elaborate stage shows and setlists that included classic hits alongside new material. The live recording in question features "Start Me Up," one of the band's signature songs, and underscores the Stones' ability to blend new work with their lasting legacy. Interestingly, this performance was part of their first tour of Japan since 1973, highlighting the band's enduring global appeal and the warm reception they received from Japanese audiences.
