The Second Bridges To Babylon Tour
After the No Security Tour, the Rolling Stones embarked on an 11-show European Tour, partly in order to make up for the shows that had been cancelled or postponed in 1998; this brief tour reverted to the title Bridges to Babylon Tour. The sets were similar to those of the No Security Tour, with some changes. One show was played in a theatre – Shepherds Bush Empire in London – in front of fewer than 2,000 people.

Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
As all lives do, reaching that we may give
The best of what we are and hold as true:
Always it is by bridges that we live.”
