More than 2 million people saw the Rolling Stones during their 50-plus concert – September to December 1981 – tour of America > the biggest tour the band had so far undertaken.

Bass player Bill Wyman says in his book Rolling with the Stones that on this mostly stadium tour, at some venues the band played to more people than on their first US tour in total, in the early 1960s.

The 1982 European tour had over 1.5 million fans in 33 gigs across 23 cities > three times as many people as the Rolling Stones previous European tour in 1976.
