The Rolling Stones 1966 tours


The Rolling Stones had four concert tours in 1966. Tina Turner supported them on the UK leg in the fall. "I didn't know who the Stones were," Tina recalled. "They were just these white boys and Mick was the one who was always standing in the wings watching us. He was a little shy of me, but finally we started having fun and I tried to teach him some dances, because he'd just stand still onstage with the tambourine. He'd try things like the Pony or some hip movements backstage and we'd all just laugh." Tina later appeared solo with the Stones on their 1981 tour. In April, the band released the album Aftermath to critical success; they promoted it during their American tour in June and July.
