The Rolling Stones' 1969 Tour of the United States took place in November 1969. With Ike & Tina Turner, Terry Reid, and B.B. King (replaced on some dates by Chuck Berry) as the supporting acts,[1] rock critic Robert Christgau called it "history's first mythic rock and roll tour",[2] while rock critic Dave Marsh wrote that the tour was "part of rock and roll legend" and one of the "benchmarks of an era."[3] In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the tour among The 50 Greatest Concerts of the Last 50 Years.[4]
