(2002-2003)A Bigger Bang Tour
(2005-2007)The Licks Tour was a lengthy, worldwide concert tour held during 2002 and 2003 by The Rolling Stones. Its start was somewhat concurrent with the compilation album Forty Licks, which was released on October 1, 2002.
The itinerary continued the Rolling Stones' practice of mixing theatre, arena, and stadium venues. With little new music to promote, set lists were dynamic and featured a total of 80 different songs.[1]
Planned dates in East Asia and the final date of tour conclusion were both made hash of by worries from the SARS outbreak of 2002-2003. Additionally, because Toronto, Ontario Canada was also under siege from the outbreak, on July 30, 2003, the band headlined the Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto concert, to help the city recover financially and psychologically from effects of the epidemic. It was attended by an estimated 490,000 people. Finally, on November 7 and November 9, 2003, the band played its first ever concerts in Hong Kong, as part of the Harbour Fest celebration, also for revival from SARS.
The tour was sponsored by E-Trade.

Tour happenings
In Chicago, U2 frontman Bono joined the Stones for "It's Only Rock'n Roll (But I Like It)". But after the conclusion of the song, Bono left the stage without acknowledging the audience.[2] Dr. John also guested as well.
In January, American cable network HBO broadcast a concert from Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.[3]
The Rolling Stones played "drastically different" shows depending upon the size of the venue.[4]
The production was designed by Mark Fisher, Charlie Watts, Mick Jagger, and Patrick Woodroffe.[5] The design included a 60-metre (200 ft) wide digital print created by Jeff Koons. During the song Honky Tonk Women, an animated video was shown of a topless woman riding the famous Rolling Stones Tongue logo before being devoured.[6]
In Sydney, Leipzig, Hockenheim, Oberhausen and Toronto Angus and Malcolm Young of AC/DC played "Rock Me Baby" with the Rolling Stones. The Leipzig performance can be found on disc 2 of AC/DC's Plug Me In, while the Toronto performance was included in the Toronto Rocks DVD.
