FOURCHETTE This question is to Soldatti or anyone else who can answer this question :

What are the most important Stones tours and how much did the Stones earn in those tours. I want the figures.

I know the Licks Tour was the most lucrative of all, but could you remind me the exact sum, please ?

Thank you very much.

Soldatti The Grossing U.S.A. Concert Tours of All-Time:
(single-year statistics, up to Dec. 2004)

1. The Rolling Stones (1994, 60 shows) $121,200,000.
2. Bruce Springsteen (2003, 47 shows) $115,900,000.
3. U2 (2001, 80 shows) $109,700,000.
4. Pink Floyd (1994, 59 shows) $103,500,000.
5. Paul McCartney (2002, 53 shows) $103,300,000.
6. The Rolling Stones (1989, 60 shows) $98,000,000
7. The Rolling Stones (1997, 33 shows) $89,300,000.
8. The Rolling Stones (2002, 34 shows) $87,900,000.

We can say goodbye to the #1, U2 will be there this year with an expected US gross of $130.000.000 or more.
The problem is the Stones doing US tour on two legs (97-98, 2002-03), they did over $120 million in US during that tours but not in a single year like the Voodoo Lounge tour.

But then, hopefully, The Stones will butt-fuck U2 on their upcoming tour.

I'm sure that Voodoo Lounge is #1, Bridges To Babylon #2 and Licks Tour #3.
I guess that Macca 2002-03 tour is #4 with $200 m, Bruce' 2003 tour is #5 with $182 m and Pink Floyd's Divison Bells #6 with $175 m.
U2's Popmart and the Steel Wheels tour are on the Top 10 too.

No if they tour 2005-06, they need to tour on a single year to be #1 again.
