History

On 31 March 2015, the Rolling Stones announced the Zip Code tour, a new United States & Canada tour subtitled Tour of North America 2015. [3] The tour featured stadium concerts after extensive usage of said venues during the 14 On Fire European tour. Mick Jagger had declared that the band would extend the tour to South America "but it's kind of difficult to put together." [6] Given the tour started the same year the Sticky Fingers album received a deluxe re-release, "Zip Code" is a reference to how that album's cover features the crotch of a man wearing jeans, which in the original vinyl release had a working zipper. [4]

On 20 May 2015, the Rolling Stones performed a surprise L.A. concert at The Fonda Theatre (an intimate 1,300-person-capacity venue) in Hollywood, California, playing sixteen songs in total, including the entire ten-song track list of Sticky Fingers. [5] [7] [8] The show was filmed and later released on Blu-Ray, DVD, CD and LP. [9]

On 27 May 2015, the Rolling Stones performed a private show at Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach, California, playing a shorter set of fifteen songs. [10] [11]

<i>Sticky Fingers</i> 1971 studio album by the Rolling Stones

Sticky Fingers is the 9th British and 11th American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. The Stones released it on 23 April 1971 on their new, and own label Rolling Stones Records. They had been contracted by Decca Records and London Records in the UK and the US since 1963. On this album Mick Taylor made his second full-length appearance on a Rolling Stones album. It was the first studio album without Brian Jones who died two years earlier. The original cover artwork, conceived by Andy Warhol and photographed and designed by members of his art collective, The Factory, showed a picture of a man in tight jeans, and had a working zip that opened to reveal underwear fabric. The cover was expensive to produce and damaged the vinyl record, so the size of the zipper adjustment was made by John Kosh at Abcko records. Later re-issues featured just the outer photograph of the jeans.
