After over forty years , it has now been acknowledged that Jimmy Miller played the last part of the song right as the coda begins due to Watts having difficulty with the conclusion of the song . Further to this , Tumbling Dice remains the only Rolling Stones song where Charlie Watts overdubbed a second drum part over the original part , creating a much bigger sound . The Rolling Stones performed " Tumbling Dice " live for the first time on 3 June 1972 at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver , British Columbia , at the start of their 1972 North American Tour . Since then , only seven regular tour concerts and a handful of benefit shows have not included " Tumbling Dice " . From 29 April to 3 May 1976 , during the European tour 1976 , the Stones did not feature the song in the setlist . The first two nights of the 1999 No Security Tour did not feature " Tumbling Dice " making them the first regular tour concerts in 23 years not to feature " Tumbling Dice "
