The Rolling Stones 1966 American Tour was the last concert tour by the Stones with Brian Jones in the United States. The band had played 29 concerts in just over a month arriving in Honolulu to conclude the tour. Back in England, one politician announces "Our relationship with the United States runs the risk of getting considerably worse as soon as The Rolling Stones arrive in America... Americans will believe that English young people have attained a new degree of degeneration and that this country is being recklessly ruined." Having released 'Aftermath' in the spring of 1966, the first Stones album with all Jagger - Richards compositions, not surprisingly the tour featured a number of songs from the album. This then is The Rolling Stones on the 28th July 1966, live in concert in Honolulu, USA, from a recording circulated as 'So Much Younger Than Today' by The Swingin' Pig (TSP 012). Set list is: 1.

The Killers are of course an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, who it may be fair to say have combined music styles from the 1980s and 1990s with modern synthetic music. Formed in 2002 and made up of Brandon Flowers ( vocals , keyboards ), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals ), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals ) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr., ( drums , percussion ), they released their debut album, Hot Fuss , in 2004. Their second album, Sam's Town , was released in 2006. The compilation album Sawdust , containing B-sides, rarities, and some new material, was released in 2007. Their first two albums to date have sold in excess of 12 million copies worldwide combined.
