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.

Famous quotes containing the words the second, bridges, babylon and/or tour:
“Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,—the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead. The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Have faith, and a score of hearts will show
Their faith in your word and deed.”
—Madeline Bridges (fl. C. 1840)
“The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.”
—Linda Goodman (b. 1929)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
