Today in Rolling Stones history: July 11

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

July 11 proves the Rolling Stones never believed in taking the easy route. One year they’re launching tours from a train station with Mixed Emotions blasting from a ghetto blaster, the next they’re unveiling a new studio album or tearing through marathon setlists on opposite sides of the Atlantic. From sweaty club gigs in London to stadium spectacles in Brussels, this date keeps delivering memorable milestones with almost suspicious consistency. If anyone still thinks rock history happens by accident, the Stones’ July 11 timeline offers a cheerful reminder that legends have a habit of showing up exactly when they’re least expected.

July 11, 1989: After boarding a train in The Bronx, the Stones arrive at New York City’s Grand Central Terminal to hold a packed press conference announcing the North American leg of their 1989 Steel Wheels Tour. Surrounded by hundreds of journalists, photographers, and fans, Mick Jagger unveils the band’s brand-new single, Mixed Emotions, playing it for the first time on a portable ghetto blaster. The unusual launch generates huge excitement and marks the beginning of the Stones’ highly anticipated return to the road after seven years without touring.
Keith, during the press conference: “We’re doing it for the glory, darling, the glory.”

July 11, 1994: Release of Voodoo Lounge, the Stones’ 20th British and 22nd American studio album
1. Love Is Strong/ 2. You Got Me Rocking/ 3. Sparks Will Fly/ 4. The Worst/ 5. New Faces/ 6. Moon Is Up/ 7. Out Of Tears/ 8. I Go Wild/ 9. Brand New Car/ 10. Sweethearts Together/ 11. Suck On The Jugular/ 12. Blinded By Rainbows/ 13. Baby Break It Down/ 14. Thru And Thru/ 15. Mean Disposition

Released five years after Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge ultimately feels like the Rolling Stones’ true comeback, despite Steel Wheels receiving most of the reunion hype and being the first album with original bass player Bill Wyman. Produced by Don Was alongside the Glimmer Twins, the album returns to a stripped-down, classic rock Stonesy sound with touches of folk and country blues.
