Part 3: European Tour
2006 European ‘A Bigger Bang’ Tour Overview
Following the final New Zealand show on April 18, whilst Mick and
Charlie returned home, Keith and Ronnie travelled to Fiji for a break with
their families. About a week into the
holiday, Keith went for a swim and while still wet slipped and fell from a low
branch on a palm tree, landing on his head and cracking his skull. A couple of days later following seizures and
headaches, he was flown back to Auckland, New Zealand where it was discovered
that he had a blood clot on his brain.
It was as if it was summer 1998 all over again, only this time it was
more serious. Surgery to remove the clot followed and he wasn’t allowed to fly
home until May 22nd, by which time the European Tour, scheduled to
start in Barcelona five days later had been postponed until mid-July. The
entire schedule was thrown into chaos with 13 shows being cancelled (several
ended up being re-sold for 2007) and some others having to be rescheduled. Mick didn’t escape unscathed either as two
Spanish dates in mid-August were cancelled due to him contracting laryngitis.
In the end, this leg ended up consisting of just 19 shows over six weeks.
The tour finally opened in Milan on July 11th – two days
after Italy had defeated France in the World Cup Final – ironically the
previous occasion when they won the trophy was in 1982 when the final took
place a few hours after the Stones played a concert in Turin. The band debuted
‘Streets of Love’ and (more significantly) ‘Con Le Mie Lacrime’ – the ultra-rare
Italian language version of ‘As Tears Go By’. At the following show in Vienna,
they played five songs from ‘A Bigger Bang’ for the only time on the entire
tour. Late August saw the band back in the UK for two shows at Twickenham
stadium in London – the Stones’ original plans were to play at the renovated
Wembley Stadium, but these fell through as the much delayed rebuild meant that
the iconic venue wouldn’t be ready until 2007.
Keith wasn’t allowed to forget his mishap in Fiji by the audiences,
several of whom waved inflatable palm trees in his direction throughout the
tour – a bit of banter that he took in good humour.
There are no official releases from this tour leg. A very strong
show in Glasgow on 25th August was broadcast almost in full (17 out
of 19 songs) on BBC Radio a few days later and is the best document from summer
2006. Also recommended are Paris, Amsterdam,
and Twickenham 22nd August.
Number of concerts – 19
Number in circulation – 18 (only Bergen 1st September is
missing)
Personnel – Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood
with Darryl Jones (bass), Chuck Leavell (keyboards), Bernard Fowler and Lisa
Fischer (backing vocals & percussion),
Blondie Chaplin (backing vocals, percussion & occasional guitar),
Bobby Keys (tenor sax) and The New West Horns – Tim Ries (sax , Michael Davis
(trombone) and Kent Smith (trumpet).
