Revisit The Rolling Stones Infamous 1972 North American Tour on New Podcast
By Andy Greene
Andy Greene
When the Rolling Stones kicked off their 48-date North American summer tour in 1972, Rolling Stone writer Robert Greenfield was by their side to chronicle every second of the madness for his book Stones Touring Party. He logged more than 60 hours of interviews with the band and their associates, but much of that audio has sat in the vault for the past five decades.
It’s finally going to be heard as part of the iHeartPodcast series Stones Touring Party , kicking off on August 2. Hosted by writer Jordan Runtagh, the podcast will explore the mayhem of life on the road and the broader chaos engulfing the country as the Vietnam War was winding down and major American cities were going up in flames.
“Either I stopped touring, or I didn’t,” Jagger says. “It was as simple as that. A few people said don’t go — friends of mine. They said, ‘You’ve really gotta be more careful; you can’t go.’ I said, ‘Well, it’s more or less what I do, so I gotta do it!’ Either I do it, or I don’t do it. If I don’t do it, what am I going to do? There was a few places where it did get scary, and there was a lot of guns confiscated and stuff like that. Don’t say I wasn’t scared — I was scared shitless!

Stones keyboardist/roadie Ian Stewart, who died in 1985, also shared some thoughts on the matter with Greenfield back in 1972. “The way I think about it is if anybody was going to ‘do’ Mick they’d do him,” he said. “They’d do him with a rifle from the back of the hall or something like that. If anybody really set out to bloody kill him, they’d kill him.”
Needless to say, Jagger and the rest of the Stones survived the tour intact. And according to many hardcore fans, the tour represented their absolute pinnacle as a live band.

The Rolling Stones' 1972 tour inspires new podcast 'Stones Touring Party'
In 1972, The Rolling Stones were the biggest band in the world; their U.S. tour that year became the stuff of legend. Now, it's become the stuff of a podcast.
The podcast, Stones Touring Party , is based on the book S.T.P.: A Journey Through America with the Rolling Stones by Rolling Stone magazine's Robert Greenfield , who did more than 60 hours of interviews with the band on that tour. He and another entourage member, Gary Stromberg , are sharing those tapes on the podcast.
Stones Touring Party is described as "an all-access pass to the sights, sounds, riots, bombings, drug busts, death threats and other assorted mayhem" of the 1972 tour. But the first episode details what happened before that tour: the Stones' ill-fated 1969 Altamont concert, during which 18-year-old fan Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death by members of Hell's Angels, who had been hired as "security."
“I think it affected all of us very profoundly. The only thing we were very upset about was being accused and held responsible for what happened,” then-Stones guitarist Mick Taylor says on the tapes. "And you can’t really blame anybody in that kind of mass hysteria."
The episode sets the stage for the Stones' return to America in 1972 and their concern that every time they stepped onstage, they might be a target for more violence.
"Either I stopped touring or I didn’t. It was as simple as that. A few people said don’t go — friends of mine ... I said, ‘Well, it’s more or less what I do, so I gotta do it,’” Mick Jagger says on the tapes. "There was a few places that it did get scary and there was a lot of guns confiscated and stuff like that ... I was scared s***less."

In the summer of 1972, the Rolling Stones swept across an America still smoldering from the tumult of the ‘60s, bringing their gritty masterpiece Exile on Main St. to the masses. Rolling Stone magazine journalist Robert Greenfield was along for the ride, writing the seminal rock book STP (Stones Touring Party) — culled from weeks on the road and more than 60 hours of interviews with the band and their entourage. Now, for the first time, Greenfield and fellow STP vet Gary Stromberg share that tape archive, allowing listeners to sit in on intimate chats with the Stones in their prime. Written and hosted by Jordan Runtagh, with original music by Noel Brown and Mykal Alder June, Stones Touring Party is an all-access pass to the sights, sounds, riots, bombings, drug busts, death threats and other assorted mayhem from this pivotal moment in American history.
TWELVE: The End of the Road in New York City
After a wild two-month tear through North America, the Stones play the last gig of the STP tour at NYC's Madison Square Garden. Their entourage work overtime to ensure that it's the craziest rock show to ever hit the Big Apple. After their final bows, the band is exhausted. What's more, they're disheartened by the overly glitzy showbiz crowd that turns up at their tour wrap party, which doubles as Jagger's 29th birthday. As they come to grips with aging, they also grapple with their gradual drift towards the mainstream. The STP trek birthed the modern rock tour, but it also hastened the Stones' transformation from a rock band to a business venture. The bonds that kept the motley 40-person crew together evaporate and everyone goes their separate ways. Reintegration into everyday life is lonely and confusing, and everyone copes in different ways as they struggle to make sense of the life-altering experience they'd just shared — one that could never be duplicated.

ELEVEN: Bombings, Busts, and Boston Burning
The Stones organization is rocked to its core when terrorists bomb one of the band's equipment vans in Montreal. The STP squad are relieved to make it out of Canada alive, but they soon discover that their problems are just beginning. The flight to Boston for that night's concert is diverted to Rhode Island due to bad weather. Already late, Mick and Keith get arrested at the airport after a scuffle with a photographer. With 18,000 rowdy fans ready and waiting at the Boston Garden, a riot seems imminent — until they get a hand from a higher power.
TEN: Sex, Drugs and Motel Mayhem in the Midwest
The STP tour has hit the midway point, and the Stones & Co struggle to stave off boredom and madness as a result of the destabilizing daily grind. Some blow off steam by deconstructing their hotel rooms, while others get lost in gratuitous sex. Drugs are a frequent refuge, which wreaks havoc on the physical and mental health of many. The tour starts to seem like a cult, with members feeling increasingly isolated from the world outside and everyday reality in general. With tempers shortened by exhaustion, tedium and drug use, tour mates feud with fellow rock star road warriors — and also each other. Ultimately, a savage beating requires an impromptu trial (with Mick Jagger as the judge!) to affirm law and order within this wild roving pirate nation.

Start me up: iheartpodcasts going on a ‘stones touring party’.
A new iHeartPodcast series, Stones Touring Party , will soon unveil previously unheard recordings chronicling The Rolling Stones’ eventful 48-date North American tour in 1972. The interviews, conducted by Rolling Stone writer Robert Greenfield, were initially compiled for his book of the same name. Hosted by Jordan Runtagh, the series is set to launch on August 2nd.
The podcast will delve into the roller-coaster journey of the legendary band as they navigated tumultuous times both personally and across America. With the Vietnam War ending and civil unrest on the rise, the band was also grappling with the aftermath of the tragic Altamont concert incident where a fan died, a memory that had stayed with them for three years.
In the series’ first episode, Mick Jagger reflects on his fears surrounding potential attacks from the Hells Angels gang, who were allegedly held responsible for the Altamont tragedy.
Similarly, Robert Greenfield and Stones’ keyboardist Ian Stewart, who passed away in 1985, reminisced about the constant threat looming over Jagger throughout the tour. Despite the palpable threats, the band not only survived but thrived, with many die-hard fans claiming the tour to represent the peak of the Rolling Stones’ live performances.

Maroon 5 was right: Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger still has the 'Moves Like Jagger' at 80
Nearly 15 years after the hit Maroon 5 single, Mick Jagger has still got the moves.
The Rolling Stones frontman took to Instagram last week to show off his famous dancing while Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" played out in public.
"Moves like who !" Jagger, 80, captioned the video , featuring the rocker flailing his arms around at the cameraperson during a live cover of the 2011 track.
Jagger's son Lucas Jagger commented, "Dadda WHO PUT U UP TO THis," while others were excited for the band, credited as Splash, to have Jagger himself in attendance for the performance.
Jagger moved freely in what appears to be a bar in Mustique, St. Vicent and the Grenadines. The British rock star has a history of showing up at bars and going relatively unnoticed. In 2021, Jagger hit up a North Carolina bar ahead of a performance and no one seemed to recognize him, to the delight of social media .
Rolling Stones set to tour together
The singer will no doubt have the moves on tour with the Rolling Stones, who are setting out on their latest stint on the road later this month, six decades after their first tour.
Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood will embark on a 19-city tour kicking off April 28 in Houston to support their well-received 26th album, " Hackney Diamonds, " and plug into their extensive hits parade.
The stadium tour, sponsored by the age-appropriate AARP , will also hit cities including Las Vegas, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. The band will detour on May 2 to play the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
The band premiered songs from the album at an intimate, invitation-only show of a few hundred people at the Racket NYC club in October, running through a handful of visceral new tracks and leaning into classics including "Shattered" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" with youthful vigor. Lady Gaga, who sings on the album track "Sweet Sounds of Heaven," joined Jagger for a thunderous duet .

Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Is a Sprawling, Endlessly Entertaining Tour de Force: Album Review

It sounds pretty magnificent, if a short answer is required. But if it’s genre we all really want to get into, “Cowboy Carter” sounds kinda country, and kinda not — in a way that feels wholly country. Because what is modern country music if not a cornucopia that’s a long way past being defined by a single sound? “Act II” feels a lot like a 27-course meal, difficult to describe in whole, but endlessly easy to digest, serving by serving. There are moments throughout where she’s embracing the tropes and traditions of country as we’ve known it, and just as many where you’re thinking she decided to abandon the concept, until suddenly Willie Nelson or Dolly Parton pop up for one of their intermittent spoken cameos, or there’s a fleeting Patsy Cline interpolation, and suddenly she’s veered back into C&W mode again. No one will mistake this sprawling set for ever following a straight path, or having a remotely dull moment.
It’s almost as if Beyoncé was watching some of the evolutionary leaps and hiccups country has been experiencing as it redefines its boundaries — as the music always has — and said, “Hold my Armand de Brignac. I’ve got this.” But it’s not just a matter of what Beyoncé can do for country music; it’s what her concept of country can do for her, in expanding her musical empire and even her already well-honed sense of self. It’s a lot.
As a whole, “Cowboy Carter” is a masterpiece of sophisticated vocal arranging, laid out on top of mostly fairly stark band tracks. It’s not as if she ever laid off that great trick of her trade, even in a dance-based album like “Renaissance.” But here her brilliance at rendering self-harmonies is pushed up to the forefront in a way that might not have been as easy to focus on for a listener since Destiny’s Child covered “Carol of the Bells” for a Christmas record. It’s bliss.
Apart from these mostly common elements, the tracks almost couldn’t be more different from one another. Who knew that her exploration of Black Country would seem so much like her White Album? Or like a countrified version of Side 2 of “Abbey Road,” once the second half of this album turns into a series of short, sometimes weirder songs that have more strength as part of a dizzying medley than they might as Spotify singles. In its own fashion, “Cowboy Carter” plays as well as a smartly sequenced album as “Renaissance” did, even though that felt like a DJ club set and the new one goes harder on eclectic songcraft.
Her decision to issue “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” as the two teaser tracks two months in advance of the album turns out to have been ideal for setting expectations for two very different sides of the record. “Texas” wasn’t shy about invoking country tropes, like line-dancing; it, along with some of the attendent pre-release imagery, made some suspicious souls wonder if this album would end up feeling like country cosplay. But then there was “Carriages,” a deeply personal ballad about her misspent youth as a budding starlet, sounding nothing like either old or new country, but married to the genre somehow just by the sound of its intricately plucked strings and storytelling.
There aren’t many moments that sell the lifestyle-branding side of country as hard as “Texas Hold ‘Em” does. (That song did its job; it’s still rising on the country airplay charts, upending some people’s initial expectations.) But of course she’s tying herself to mainstream country’s coolest elders, bringing in Willie Nelson, who does a couple of faux-DJ skits, and Dolly Parton, who brings a chuckle to a spoken introduction to Bey’s “Jolene” cover by pointing out the correlation between that classic’s auburn-haired temptress and the fabled Becky-with-the-good-hair. The Dolly homage is unquestionably the most pure country number on the album, but it’s not a completely straight take, as Beyoncé has rewritten almost all of the lyrics (and added a bridge) to make the song a fiercely protective warning instead of an endangered housewife’s plea. Taking out all the vulnerability lessens the tune a little, but it’s still a kick to hear “Jolene” with a serious infusion of “Lemonade.”
Did we mention that this murder fantasy — which starts off with a classical-sounding guitar that sounds almost fit for a Marty Robbins song — eventually winds up with Beyoncé flawlessly singing an aria from the 1700s, “Caro Mio Ben,” in Italian? It’s that kind of unpredictable album, although this at least counts as probably the strangest turn on it. Unless you count “Oh Louisiana,” a much goofier number that has Beyoncé covering a Chuck Berry oldie in a sped-up voice for a mere 52 seconds.
In evangelizing for this album, it’s hard to know whether to emphasize its weirder choices or its more conventional pleasures. There are more than enough of both of them to give “Cowboy Carter” a real sense of dynamics. But when it comes to the most straightforward material, the average listener may gravitate immediately to Beyoncé’s crowd-pleasing duet with Miley Cyrus , “II Most Wanted,” which has producer Ryan Tedder building a breezy buddyship anthem over an interpolation of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” “I’ll be your shotgun rider ’til the day I die / Smoke out the window flyin’ down the 405,” they sing, putting the western back in country & Western. “II Most Wanted” is not the most interesting song here, but Bey harmonizes with Cyrus just as effectively as she does with herself. It’d be no surprise if their duet finds its way onto and sticks around the adult contemporary chart for about 18 months.
Sexy-time is a big thing on this album, too. Another superstar duet, “Levii’s Jeans,” has Post Malone in the role of Jay-Z. (Or at least we can surmise from other lyrics on the album that Beyoncé considers herself to have a very healthy marital relationship, physically and otherwise.) “Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom / Denim on denim on denim on denim,” she sings, although it’s actually more lilting and gentle in tone than any saucy lyric excerpt is going to make it sound.
There are theories that “Act III” in her promised musical triptych will be a rock ‘n’ roll album. It could be wishful thinking; maybe she is saving an all-arias album for last in the trilogy. But if she is planning to rock, she gets a slight head start on it here with a couple of numbers here. “Bodyguard” is a strummed soft-rock number with a straight-up backbeat, sounding almost like a demo, in its sweet minimalism.
Later, she seriously ramps up the energy with “Ya Ya,” which brings out her Tina Turner side, and/or sounds like a “TAMI Show” outtake. “Ya Ya” risks extending itself an interpolation too far, as some iconic bass riffing from “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” is succeeded by Bey twice throwing in the hook from that famous country classic, “Good Vibrations.” On paper, “Ya Ya” is overstuffed with references, but that doesn’t really matter when you can feel the wind coming off the fringe of her miniskirt.
It takes until the 12 th song on the album — at which point, remember, we’re not halfway through — till we get the first and only real hip-hop song on the album, “Spaghetti,” which has Beyoncé rapping, ever so briefly. But it does have, yes, the barest trace of a spaghetti Western feel, which is just enough to technically tie it back to the overriding concept. It also has an introducion from Linda Martell, the first Black female star in country music (circa 1970), who gives a short homily: “Genres are a funny little concept, aren’t they? … In theory, they have a simple definition, but in practice, well, some may feel confined.”
And then, after a few more essentially acoustic-based songs that pick up the tempo, there’s the final stretch of the album, where things finally get a lot looser and loopier. It may be at this late point in the album when Beyoncé loses some people. After the bonkers “Oh Louisiana” and the 1:13 paean to oral sex that is “Desert Eagle,” a few listeners might be going: What the hell was that we just heard? Suddenly, after that, it begins turning into a club album, with “II Hands to Heaven,” which has an electronic pulse we haven’t heard much of, and “Tyrant,” which flirts with trap, even though Bey is keeping the rodeo underpinnings alive with a “Giddy-up, giddy-up.”
Hearing the album finally turn into something that feels a bit closer to 2022’s “Renaissance” toward the very end could be seen as a reward for some of her faithful fans who are more into dance music for sticking through the Texas two-stepping. But in country terms, it also feels a bit like going to California’s Stagecoach Festival, where the headliner is now always followed at the end of the final night by a late-night DJ set from Diplo, since the line between line-dancing and EDM culture is being further erased these days.
Who cares if any or all of it is country or not, you might ask? Well, lots of people do — especially fellow Black artists who have a stake in how this album is received and how it might affect their futures. Martell, 82, is on board for a couple of spoken-word interludes to serve as a reminder Black country’s largely swept-under-the-rug past. But Beyoncé has brought on board here several young singers who are part of the music’s past and future, including Willie Jones, on “Just for Fun,” and Shaboozey, on “Spaghetti” and again on “Sweet Honey Buckin’,” where their interplay is as randy as the title suggests.
“You were only waiting for this moment to arrive” — that’s a key line for an album that lives up to its event status as an inherent piece of agitprop and socially significant performance art, reflecting and affecting the history of Black music and country. It obviously has been compared to Ray Charles’ landmark 1962 “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music,” but this feels different than someone coming in and adopting the existing country songbook for their own purposes, vital as that was. Beyoncé expanding this historic catalog with her own crucial additions to it is a never-to-be-forgotten signpost, however much it does or doesn’t immediately affect the fortunes of those still trying to get a basic foothold in the genre.
And she’s not pulling this off either by unduly ingratiating herself into a scene with country customs or ignoring those hallmarks entirely. With this endlessly entertaining project, she gets to be a warrior of female and Black pride and a sweetheart of the radio. Because being Beyoncé means never having to pretend to be just one thing.
