Rolling Stones on video: Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, West Germany – ‘It’s All Over Now’ plus rare footage (March 31, 1967)
The Rolling Stones’ 1967 European tour was a concert tour to promote the band’s new album Between the Buttons and also their new singles “Let’s Spend the Night Together” and “Ruby Tuesday”. The tour started on March 25, 1967 and ended on April 17, 1967, the Stones’ last concert tour with Brian Jones, who originally formed and named the band.
The tour will also mark one of the first times the Western rock band has performed in Eastern Europe, having played two shows at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, Poland, on April 13. Eventually attendees were told “to behave during the concert or be ejected from the venue”, but a riot ensued. Visiting Soviet officials were unhappy with the Rolling Stones’ performance, and it was a long time before the Stones returned to the Eastern Bloc country.
Mick Jagger about the Stones’ 1967 European tour: “They thought the show was so awful, so decadent, that they said this would never happen in Moscow”.
