Mick Jagger at 46 still moving like gravity owes him money.
Continuing the very successful From The Vault series of classic, previously unreleased Rolling Stones live shows this release is taken from their performance at the Tokyo Dome in 1990, one of ten shows from the 14th to the 27th February at the venue which were the culmination of the Steel Wheels World Tour. These were the first concerts The Rolling Stones ever performed in Japan, their previous attempt to tour there in the early seventies having fallen through. The footage has now been carefully restored and the sound has been newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain for this first official release of the show.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
These were the Stones' first Japan shows ever— their 1973 attempt collapsed due to drug convictions making visas impossible. The seventeen-year wait built near-religious anticipation.
Bobby Keys, the saxophonist who steals multiple songs here, was fired from the band twice for 'substance-related incidents' but kept coming back because Keith Richards insisted.
