The Rolling Stones performed at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in October 1989 as part of their Steel Wheels Tour. Over four consecutive shows, the band entertained a total of 360,068 fans. This tour marked a significant return to live performances for the Rolling Stones after a seven-year hiatus. The Steel Wheels Tour was launched in North America to promote their album of the same name and featured a diverse setlist, including hits like "Start Me Up," "Gimme Shelter," and "Satisfaction" [1][3][4]. The concerts at the LA Memorial Coliseum were notable for their energetic performances and guest appearances, such as Eric Clapton joining the band for "Little Red Rooster" [1]. The tour was a financial success, showcasing the band's enduring popularity. This series of shows was also the last with original bassist Bill Wyman. The tour's success was highlighted by its diverse opening acts, including Guns N' Roses and Living Colour, further solidifying the Rolling Stones' status as rock legends [3][4].
