*Mick Jagger (Tattoo You Tour) Signed Photograph, by Rocky Widner, Rolling Stones Candlestick Park 1981, Framed with Certificate of Authenticity*
An authentic hand-signed concert photograph of Mick Jagger, captured during The Rolling Stones landmark American Tour of 1981 in support of their album Tattoo You. The image shows Jagger in full performance mode, shirtless at the microphone, a look strongly associated with the band’s historic performances at Candlestick Park, San Francisco, on 17–18 October 1981.
The photograph is signed directly to the image in black felt-tip pen and is presented framed with an engraved display plaque. The autograph is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Autographs, a respected U.S. memorabilia firm established in 1978.
The photograph is believed to have been taken by Rocky Widner, (Getty Images / FilmMagic photographs credited to Widner from the October 18, 1981 Candlestick Park concert). Widner is known to have been one of several professional photographers covering these shows, and his archived images from this event depict Mick Jagger in identical stage attire, lighting conditions, and performance sequences.
Approx. Framed size: 34.3 cm x 45.2 cm, 8" x 10" photograph.
Historical Note: The Rolling Stones’ two Candlestick Park concerts in October 1981 were among the most significant live events of their career, drawing a combined audience of approximately 140,000 fans and shattering the venue’s attendance records. These shows marked the first major music performances at Candlestick Park since The Beatles’ final concert there in 1966.
The 1981 American Tour became the highest-grossing tour of its time, generating an estimated $50 million in ticket sales and setting new standards for large-scale rock touring. The concerts were celebrated for their vivid Americana-themed stage design and a powerful, hit-driven setlist including Start Me Up, Miss You, Honky Tonk Women, and Jumpin’ Jack Flash.
