Without all the ballyhoo , media attention , and jet set hangers-on of the group 's 1972 American Tour , the 1973 European Tour was seen as having less drama — the biggest pending issue was the resolution of Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg 's 25 June drugs and weapons bust , which hung over them until a 24 October £ 205 fine from the Great Marlborough Street Magistrates Court resolved it — while showcasing consistently good musicianship . Songs like " Brown Sugar " and " Gim me Shelter " were well received and Billy Preston 's organ and clavinet added a contemporary and funky edge to the " classic " Stones sound , although the tour 's relatively conventional delineation between rhythm ( primarily Richards ) and lead guitar ( primarily Taylor ) parts were later criticised by Richards . By the time of the group 's following Tour of the Americas ' 75 , Ron Wood would be in the band and Richards ' preferred interweaved approach would be restored
