8242 - Mick Jagger Signed Rolling Stones Press Release: "The Waiting Is Over - 'Summer '82 Concert Tour'"

Mick Jagger Signed Rolling Stones Press Release: "The Waiting Is Over - 'Summer '82 Concert Tour'" Official Rolling Stones press release, headed, "The Waiting Is Over - 'Summer '82 Concert Tour,'" two pages, 8.25 x 11.75, April 28, 1982, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, "Mick Jagger." The press release begins: "After months of rumor and conjecture, it was confirmed today that the Rolling Stones will start their first European tour in six years with an outdoor show in Rotterdam on June 4th. They will appear at many of the largest outdoor stadiums throughout Europe, as well as relatively small concert halls, thus ensuring as many people as possible a chance to hear and see the group. With 75 percent of the venues set, the Rolling Stones will finalize the rest of the tour as soon as possible." It continues with a prescient remark on the band's longevity: "The tour, which follows a highly successful U.S. jaunt that saw the group play to over 2 million people, will be comprised of roughly 60 percent outdoor and 40 percent indoor shows in some 12 countries during a 63-day period. There are also plans afoot to play two massive concerts during the World Cup in Spain. The Rolling Stones refuse to confirm or deny that this will be their farewell concert tour. Rather, they will let the fates and calcium deposits decide the issue, but as they have often said, 'Performing is what we do as a living and a necessity, so we will probably be making albums until we enter some sort of senior citizens facility.'" In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold and a Bonham's provenance label affixed to the reverse.
