The cover

Voodoo Lounge — Yellow spotted figure on white front
Yellow spotted figure on white front

Voodoo Lounge’s rabbit-eared figure began as a doorkeeper on a cardboard model of an imagined club. Mark Norton and Alex Quero’s recollections, collected by IORR, describe photographing the model and reducing the figure to a black-and-white image. Norton recalled simplifying it for a fax presentation to Mick Jagger.

What critics said

In Entertainment Weekly’s 1994 multi-critic feature, Greg Sandow praises Voodoo Lounge’s hooks and adventurous arrangements, especially “New Faces”, “Moon Is Up” and “Thru and Thru”. Deborah Frost hears something much less convincing in the same feature: a band parodying itself, with Jagger and Richards sounding bored by one another’s musical territory.

About these numbers

Concert figures describe 2,181 distinct archive record IDs from 1962-07-12 to 2024-07-21. Separate same-day record IDs remain separate; they have not all been reviewed as unique performed concerts.

1,506 records have stored song entries; 675 do not. Complete-setlist coverage is not established. Missing entries do not establish that a song was not played.

Song observations count distinct record IDs with a matching title after playback entries are excluded. These are documented appearances, not verified full-song performances. Tour groupings can include warm-up dates.

Snapshot: 2026-10-03T21:42:51Z. Original database supplied and factually approved by the editor; normalized and calculated by Glimmer Wire. Counts can change when records or identities are corrected.

Calculation record

Concert records: distinct concert.setlist_id. Country groups: concert.country_code. Stored entries: records with non-playback setlist_song rows. Song appearances: distinct concert_song.setlist_id matched to setlist_song by record ID, position and exact raw title, excluding tape = 1. This does not use a complete-setlist percentage denominator.

Snapshot SHA-256: 7e86a3e2d0670574fd1e8bf42cd9e4dc99d3325db8db1b471707805387b00e5a
