The management for the Rolling Stones sent the band out on a Spring tour of Europe in 1967 immediately after Mick and Keith were busted for drugs. The tension among the members of the group were also strained by the defection of Brian Jones' girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, running into the arms of guitarist Keith Richards. This tour would be Brian's last stand.

The Redlands bust came one week before the release of their fifth studio album, Between the Buttons. Once the news of the bust was made public, everything surrounding the Stones became controversial. Embarking on a European tour two months after their arrests may not have been the ideal career decision for the group at this time. The U.K. bust seriously complicated the band's international touring mobility.

The band arrived in Sweden on the 24th March. Swedish customs agents searching for drugs riffled through 17 pieces of luggage. Members were subjected to body searches. The reality of the Redlands bust had stigmatized the Rolling Stones forever.

The opening tour date in Malmo was marred when police turned off the electricity to the band's amps to interrupt the concert. In Orebo, rioting teenagers put policemen and five fans in the hospital. Audience calmness welcomed the band throughout all four dates in Germany.

With two shows in Austria, rioting again surfaced as 154 fans were detained by the police during the concert. Oddly in Rome with an older audience in the front rows, the Stones found they had to deliver a more professional performance with Jane Fonda, Gina Lolabridgida, and Brigitte Bardo as guests.

Flying into Paris on the 10th April was another major hassle for the band at the hands of airport customs agents. Their Paris performance was one of their best concerts on this tour. However, money and belongings were stolen from their ransacked hotel rooms at the George V.

Departing France from Le Bourget Airport on the 12th April was a harrowing experience for the band. A French customs official began berating the band in his native tongue as tensions escalated. After being punched in the face, Keith was grabbed by his lapels and threatened, receiving another punch in the chest. Keylock fended off another punch to Keith before it was determined the inflamed French border guard had wanted each member to introduce their passport individually, instead of all at once.

Landing in Warsaw later that day, the Stones were driven to the dull, gray Orbis-Europjski Hotel. Everybody was in and out of everyone else's room checking out who got the better digs. There was no television, the radio stations were jammed with interference, and dinner cost the band a small fortune.

During the morning before their two scheduled concerts, band members noticed each of them had agents tailing their every move. When they tried to exit the hotel, the Stones were surrounded and told to remain inside. Band management failed to notify the hotel about their press conference and had to bribe the hotel to allow the media event to proceed.

Arriving at the venue, the Stones were greeted with rioting in the streets because Polish Communist Party members had reserved all of the tickets for both performances. Eastern Bloc fans were assaulted by the police. The shows were good, but anyone who stood up to express their enjoyment during the concert was reprimanded by the police to sit quietly. This demonstration of force angered the Stones.

After the concerts, the Stones canvassed Warsaw streets for Polish fans to distribute all of the albums and singles they had as an apology. Departing the next day, the Stones found, coincidentally, their bill at the hotel matched the amount of revenue from their concerts.

Brian may have been fortunate not being nailed at Redlands, but he became a target of Scotland Yard, and the heat was on to bust him and break him. Compounded by the defection of Anita, Jones had to endure a touring schedule standing on stage next to the bandmate who he felt had stolen his girlfriend behind his back.
