Tony Scaduto's 1974 work, Mick Jagger: Everybody's Lucifer, gives an excellent overview (pp. 154-164) of this first U.S. tour by the Rolling Stones, including their time in New York City at the beginning of their tour and then their travels several days later into the heartland of America. "Their fantasies about America smashed against reality," Scaduto tells his readers (p. 159), including an excellent account of the band's performance (pp. 160-161) in Omaha, Nebraska and the band's disappointment with their appearance on Dean Martin's "Hollywood Palace" show.
