Kolner Sporthalle
This was the 3rd year in a row now at the Olympia, and each time without fail the French seem to be heavily in favor of The Stones compared to any other act at the time.
Bill Wyman said, "Mick wore a floor-length satin gown, and at the end of concert, threw tulips into the audience who, as France Soir reported, tried to make more noise than we did. The only injury was to Charlie who was accidentally hit on the nose by an over-eager fan with a camera, just as we were leaving for the hotel." As for the recording itself, it is from a broadcast of the concert on French Radio. The audio has been circulating on bootlegs for years, with all but Paint It Black, Under My Thumb, Ruby Tuesday, Let's Spend The Night Together, being terribly low quality. But is has come out that better sources for, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Get Off Of My Cloud/Yesterday's Papers, and Satisfaction, have come up.
I compiled the best source for every song, along with the banter from the actual Broadcast, to make the complete concert. This is by far the best sounding recording of their 1967 European tour. The band's playing is spot on too. Keith notes having to play the rhythm and lead parts on the albums, and this knowledge translates live as well, on Paint It Black the improvisations he's playing are quite sublime. On Under My Thumb, he pretty much solo's the whole thing through. And lastly on Satisfaction, a year and a half after the songs debut, has perfected it.
On the topic of Satisfaction, if that was Brian playing with the feedback on the first verse, that was great too for early 1967. Though Brian's ability lies in the fact that he plays 6 different instruments during the concert. Rhythm Guitar on Paint It Black, Declaimer on Lady Jane, 12 String lead on Get Off Of My Cloud, Recorder on Ruby Tuesday, Organ on Let's Spend The Night Together, and lastly Harp on Goin' Home.
Don't think Charlie missed a single fill, beat, clash for the entire concert. Consistency great he was. Drummers might realise he plays some parts different from the record too, a little improv.
Bill's playing for every song is great, sliding on Paint It Black, the solo of Lady Jane, the almost second lead on Get Off Of My Cloud, and the bass running off just at the every end of the recording. Mick, even though the tour had gone on for 3 weeks at this point, still sounds great. A highlight being Satisfaction, he drives the audience to his command here. Well enough rambling on, setlist is down there."

The Rolling Stones Rehearsing In Montauk
For the 1975 Tour
Here's some info from
The East Hampton Star
Montauk was cold and damp on Sunday, quiet and dark befitting late autumn, the throngs of summer visitors long gone.
Downtown, the Memory Motel, built in the mid-1920s and immortalized a half-century later in the Rolling Stones’ song of the same name, was shuttered and silent.
But on an adjacent island 116 miles west of Montauk’s downtown, the party was just getting started as the light faded from the Manhattan skyline. On Third Avenue in the East Village, the drinks were flowing at Memory Motel, this one a 69-day pop-up bar that bears quite a resemblance to its namesake to the east, down to the exterior painting of the Montauk watering hole.
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes. In 1975, the Rolling Stones famously spent time at Eothen, Andy Warhol’s 30-acre oceanfront compound east of Montauk’s downtown, spending their time in Montauk rehearsing for an American tour, partying at Shagwong Tavern, and drawing inspiration from the Memory Motel. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards-penned a piano-driven ballad that became a standout among the band’s immense catalog.

at Warhol’s estate
As the Stones practiced for their upcoming tour and worked out new songs for their upcoming album, Black and Blue (which Warhol ended up designing the artwork for), they played during all hours of the night. A local newspaper at the time wrote:
“Sensationally loud music that welled through the windows, into the ruts and hollows over the tangled crab-grass of an estate in Montauk… Residents of the Ditch Plains trailer park were woken in the night – yapping dogs, even wolves, the loud grief of coyotes. From East Hampton to New York the word spread with the ferocity of a brush fire: The Rolling Stones were rehearsing!”

1978
The Rolling Stones' US Tour 1978 was a concert tour of the United States that took place during June and July 1978, immediately following the release of the group's 1978 album Some Girls. Like the 1972 and 1975 U.S. tours, Bill Graham was the tour promoter.
The tour used a stripped back, minimal stage show compared to the previous Tour of the Americas '75 and Tour of Europe '76, possibly due to the emergence of the punk rock scene and its emphasis solely on music and attitude rather than presenting a grandiose stage extravaganza.
Continuing a schedule started in 1966 of touring the United States exactly every three years, the Stones played in a mixture of theatres, sometimes under a pseudonym (i.e., at the start of the 1978 US Tour in Lakeland, Florida, as well as in Fort Worth on July 18, The Stones were billed on the tickets as "The London Green Shoed Cowboys"), arenas, and stadiums, a practice that they would follow for many of their future tours as well. The tour was the first in which Charlie Watts used the famous Gretsch drum set that he continued to play with the Stones until his death, as well as his first employment of a China crash cymbal. The concerts featured backing vocals by Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards, something that the Stones would get away from beginning with their next tour when Richards handled the majority of the backing vocals himself.
Plans were made to bring this tour to Europe, with several locations in major cities booked, but plans were scrapped for financial reasons. This broke the group's similar schedule of performing in Europe every three years, which had started in 1967. This gap-year from touring prompted Keith Richards to join Ronnie Wood on his 1979 United States solo tour, to promote his then-album Gimme Some Neck, in the process forming the band The New Barbarians.
The tour is widely believed among fans to be one of the band's greatest, largely because it was in many ways back to basics both in musical and visual terms. It meant Tumbling Dice, Star Star, Happy, Brown Sugar, etc.) mixed with blues numbers and Chuck Berry covers (Let it Rock and Sweet Little Sixteen in particular) as well as including a large number of songs from the then-newly released Some Girls LP.
It was the first tour featuring songs written with Ronnie Wood as an official member of the Rolling Stones, and his contributions from this period are considered by many Stones fans as some of his greatest with the band. While no live album was released immediately following this tour, a fair number of bootleg releases showcased its musical qualities – most notably the multi-show King Biscuit Flower Hour FM recording often known as "Handsome Girls".
