1976 EUROPEAN TOUR

1976 Tour of Europe
overview
By the time the Stones returned to Europe for their tour
in spring 1976, Ronnie Wood had been officially confirmed as Mick Taylor’s replacement
and the band had finally released ‘Black and Blue’. The line-up remained identical to that on the 1975
American tour, with the Stones presenting a more streamlined setlist than the
previous year, showcasing four songs each night from the new album.
The eight-week tour featured theatre, arena and stadium
shows in West Germany, Belgium, England, Scotland, The Netherlands, Switzerland,
Austria plus France for the first time in six years as well as first time
visits to Spain and Yugoslavia – the latter being only the second time (after
Poland in 1967) that the Stones had performed in an Eastern Bloc country.
The band had initially announced three concerts at London’s
Earls Court arena but the huge demand for tickets (over one million applications)
saw the run doubled to six nights. The Paris shows were filmed for a 55-minute
TV concert special in France which was later shown in other countries. Re-broadcasts
in France featured even more songs. The Paris shows (plus one song from the
final night in London) made up the bulk of the 1977 double LP ‘Love You Live’ –
a somewhat uneven release where bizarrely the overdubs do the concerts
themselves something of a disservice. Just
before one of the Paris shows, Keith learned the news that his infant daughter
Tara had died unexpectedly, making his performance pretty
remarkable under the circumstances.
The shows in general mark something of a step back performance
wise from 1975, but there are many shows worth tracking down and a few nice
soundboards. The Paris shows – both
audio and video – are the best representation of the tour. Two months after it concluded the Stones headlined
Knebworth Fair in England in front of 200,000 people, playing more songs than
at any other show in their entire career before or since and including several
songs that hadn’t been played anywhere else that year. Details of that show are
documented in the ‘Miscellaneous Non-Tour Concerts’ section.
Number of shows – 41 (excluding Knebworth)
Number of shows in circulation – 35
Recommended shows – all four Paris shows (especially 6th
June). Partial soundboards from Frankfurt 29/4, London 22/5 and an almost complete
soundboard from Lyon 9/6 are also worth getting.
Personnel - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts,
Ronnie Wood, and Bill Wyman with Billy Preston (keyboards), Ollie E. Brown (percussion)
and occasionally Ian Stewart on piano.

It’s uncertain whether or not |

'Happy’ was
performed. The fact that the |

band intros
which normally precede it are |
|
|
|

also missing
would suggest to me that it |
|
|
|

was played but
not recorded. |
