Given that the band was on the verge of practically winding up in this Fall/Winter tour of 1990(Mick's book, Stevie and Chris announcing their 'retirement' etc), I'm always impressed that they still give 100% performance despite all of the behind the scenes stuff. True professionals!

You hit the nail on the head. I believe Christine was a leader of the band at this time. Mick and Stevie had their substance abuse and Christine was the ultimate professional and the rock to the band. Rick and Billy were more relaxed this tour.
They put on a great show and gave 100%.
This tour had many problems. It would have been easy to not continue the tour in late 1990. But they made up their US dates and kept their word.
