THE "ROCKS OFF" ROLLING

ON-STAGE TOUR
Praia de Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil© David Moffitt
Part 1: North and south
American Tour, 10th January – 14th March
2006 North and South American ‘A Bigger Bang’ Spring Tour Overview
As per usual, the Stones took a month off over the holiday season before
returning to North America to resume the Bigger Bang tour. Kicking things off in Montreal, the band played
11 arena dates in addition to performing a three-song set in Detroit before a
worldwide TV audience as the prestigious Half Time Show at Superbowl XL. It’s worth noting that whilst most acts play
at the Superbowl using a pre-recorded backing track in case things go wrong,
the Stones’ performance was totally ‘live’ – albeit with a brief time delay so
that ABC could censor a couple of words such as ‘cocks’ or ‘cum’ in case the
prime-time audience would be traumatised.
The Stones then returned to Latin America for the first time since 1998
playing six shows in Puerto Rico (their first visit there), Mexico, Brazil, and
Argentina. Economic issues were again an
issue in South America with the band’s visit to Argentina consisting of just
two stadium shows in Buenos Aires despite a demand for tickets which would have
enabled them to have sold out several nights. The sole Brazil show would be one for the history
books, however – the city of Rio de Janeiro funded a free concert on the city’s
Copacabana Beach. An estimated 1.5 million people showed up even though the
concert was broadcast live in Brazil and streamed in full (with a slight time
delay) worldwide as a webcast on AOL. Visually,
the Copacabana show made for an astonishing sight and the Stones delivered a
superb performance. Indeed, this entire
leg of the Bigger Bang tour saw the best series of gigs of the whole tour. Following the second Mexican show, the Stones returned
to the US for four arena dates before closing this leg of the tour with a
benefit concert for the Robin Hood Foundation at New York’s Radio City Music
Hall. (The charity organisation to alleviate
poverty in New York is named for the mythical 13th century English nobleman who
stole from the rich to give to the poor. Tickets for the show ranged from $250 to $7,500,
hopefully the attendees saw the irony!)
There are quite a few official releases from this tour leg. The Superbowl
show was included in the official NFL DVD release of the event. Sixteen of the twenty songs from the Copacabana
concert and five songs from the first Buenos Aires show featured on the
‘Biggest Bang’ DVD released in June 2007 with the full Copacabana show being
released in audio and visual formats on ‘Live at Copacabana Beach 2006’ in
2021.
