The Rolling Stones American Tour 1972
(as per wikipedia)
**The tour followed the release of the group's album Exile on Main St. a few weeks earlier on May 12. But this was far more than a rock band's typical promotional tour following the release of a new recording. Rather, it became a major pop cultural event of the time. It came at the height of the Stones' reputation as "The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World," and attention was focused on the group's multi-edged visibility in popular consciousness: as purveyors of raw R&B carnal energy, and as the epitome of bohemian decadence, the band were seen as the opposite of the now-defunct, and relatively wholesome Beatles. At the same time, singer Mick Jagger was by now a glamorous celebrity who had moved into the jet set of high society. These aspects were all intertwined, and so the tour attracted much attention from observers of both high culture and low culture.**
This was a great period for the Stones when they were at their popularity peak and put out their best tunes. Although Brian Jones was influencial to their early success,
Mick Taylor was a talented lead guitarist that came at the right time to bring them to a higher rock and roll level by adding great hard driven guitar riffs and song writing contributions.  Once Taylor quit, that faded and they lost their raw edge as well as much of their originality.  To their credit though, they have stayed the course and are as iconic as ever.  They are currently the longest touring band of all time.
This is a really nice stub.  Not many 1972 stubs around, especially ones that show the full name.  Just very light creasing and light handling wear, EX/EX-
