📋 5 Fast Facts About the Performance & Liner Notes:
• *The 1981 “Tattoo You” Anthem* – Originally released in August 1981 as the lead single for The Rolling Stones’ album *Tattoo You*, “Start Me Up” reached #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became the defining stadium opener for the band’s 1980s era.
• *The Long-Awaited Japanese Debut* – Due to Japanese visa restrictions that blocked 1970s and 1981 tour dates, Jagger’s solo performances at the Tokyo Dome marked the very first time Japanese audiences got to hear these 1981 Stones classics performed live by their original lead singer.
• *Virtuoso Guitar Support* – Fresh off his breakout instrumental solo album *Surfing with the Alien*, guitar hero Joe Satriani joined Jagger’s touring lineup, bringing signature technical brilliance to Keith Richards’ iconic 1981 open-G riff.
• *From Reggae to Rock* – The track originally evolved during the 1978 *Some Girls* sessions as a slow reggae jam named “Never Stop” before being rediscovered and re-recorded into a driving 1981 rock masterpiece.
• *Restored Vault Audio* – Sourced directly from original multi-track broadcast soundboard masters, this high-definition audio restoration isolates Jagger’s vocals and Satriani’s soaring solos in pristine clarity.
