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. 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. |
