Premise: Beggars Banquet is the seventh British and ninth American studio album by English rock band The Rolling Stones . The Licks Tour was a worldwide concert tour undertaken by The Rolling Stones during 2002 and 2003 , in support of their 40th anniversary compilation album Forty Licks . Finally , on 7 -- 9 November 2003 , the band played its first ever concerts in Hong Kong , as part of the Harbour Fest celebration . The Rolling Stones . Subsequently , the group returned to its `` bluesy '' roots with Beggars Banquet ( 1968 ) which along with its follow-ups Let It Bleed ( 1969 ) , Sticky Fingers ( 1971 ) and Exile on Main St. ( 1972 ) is generally considered to be the band 's best work and is seen as their `` Golden Age '' . By 2007 , the band had four of the top five highest-grossing concert tours of all time : Voodoo Lounge Tour ( 1994 -- 95 ) , Bridges to Babylon Tour ( 1997 -- 98 ) , Licks Tour ( 2002 -- 03 ) and A Bigger Bang Tour ( 2005 -- 07 ) .
Hypothesis: The Rolling Stones are not a band.
