1989 Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour

-This tour helped to promote the band's recently released Steel Wheels album
-Continued to Japan in February 1990, with 10 shows at the Tokyo Dome.
-That show featured a different stage and was called the Urban Jungle tour, which ran from May-August 1990.

History
-A pre-tour 'surprise show' took place on August 12, 1989 at Toad's Palce in New Haven, Connecticut.
-The official Steel Wheels tour kicked off later that month at the now demolished Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

-During the show in Pennsylvania, the power went out when the band was performing "Shattered" and caused a delay in the show. Jagger started talking to the people in the audience during the delay

-The stage was designed by Mark Fisher along with help from Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts

-Performances were later documented on the album Flashpoint and the video Live at the Max, both released in 1991
