1969 United States Tour

After an almost three year absence, and with the rejuvenating effect of a skilled young guitarist (Mick Taylor) added to the roster to replace Brian Jones, the Stones mounted a comeback tour to support their new album 'Let It Bleed' and present material from what most regard as their best album (Beggars Banquet).

Other than the inclusion of 'Gimme Shelter' at a few shows, there were no rarities or variants in the set list until the final (free) concert in Livermore California at Altamont Speedway. There the Stones played 'Brown Sugar', which they had recorded only days earlier, as well as Jimmy Reed's 'The Sun is Shining'.
