The Stones at 55: still swinging, still sweating, still showing everyone how it's done.
Bridges to Babylon Tour '97–98 by The Rolling Stones is a video from a concert which was filmed in St. Louis, Missouri 12-December-1997 during the Bridges to Babylon Tour 1997-1998. It features a single, massive oval video screen behind the band on the main stage, a stripped-down set on a small stage in the middle of the arena floor, and guest appearances by Dave Matthews ("Wild Horses") and Josh Redman.
Production
Massive oval screen dwarfing four men who don't need it.
Practical Effects
Two-stage setup lets them literally walk into the crowd.
Acting
Jagger's 55-year-old hips: still criminal, still mesmerizing.
Director
Dick Carruthers
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Bridges to Babylon stage cost $2 million to build and took 4 days to assemble at each venue — the oval screen alone weighed 6 tons.
This tour marked the Stones' pivot toward legacy act territory, yet they deliberately booked smaller arenas to prove intimacy was still possible at their scale.
