Last paragraph: there was a show on Sunday June 25th, at the Inglewood forum supposed to start at 7, but started at 8pm, because a show was added at 4pm.
There was another show on June 11th at the Long Beach Arena at 8pm.
This site has a bunch of newspaper articles about the shows, just in case the stuff above is incomplete:

[edit] History
The tour followed the release of the group's album Exile on Main St. a few weeks earlier on 12 May. But this was far more than a typical rock band's concert following the release of a new recording. Rather, it became a major cultural event of the time. It came at the height of the Stones' reputation as "The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World", and attention was focused on the group's multi-edged visibility in popular consciousness: As purveyors of raw R&B carnal energy – "would you let your daughter near them?" was a popular question bandied about at the time – the supposed opposite of the now-broken-up Beatles' pop and art. As the epitome of bohemian decadence or worse, with Satanic influences and the legacy of the disastrous Altamont Free Concert to their name. And as a window into glamourous celebrity, for singer Mick Jagger had moved into the jet set of high society. These aspects were all intertwined, and so the tour attracted much attention from both high culture observers and low.


[edit] The Press
Several well-established writers were assigned to cover the Stones jaunt, a first for a rock tour. Truman Capote, who had not published any significant new work since 1966's In Cold Blood but was still considered a celebrity of the highest caliber, was dispatched to cover the tour for Rolling Stone magazine with good friend and Kennedy family member Princess Lee Radziwill and her companion, the artist Peter Hill Beard. Capote, who was frequently drunk and high on tranquilizers, did not mesh well with the group and along with his entourage abandoned the tour in New Orleans, only to resurface for the final shows in New York's Madison Square Garden. Capote did not complete his feature, tentatively entitled "It Will Soon Be Here", out of boredom with the subject. Rolling Stone recouped its stake by interviewing Capote about the tour in 1973. More palpitable was Terry Southern, who covered the tour for the Saturday Review and was good friends with Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Ultimately, the defining document of the tour came to be Robert Greenfield's S.T.P.: A Journey Through America With The Rolling Stones, published in 1974. Greenfield had already covered the band's 1971 British Tour for Rolling Stone and was granted unlimited access to the band's affairs. Greenfield was initially assigned as the magazine's sole correspondent on the tour, but then was relegated to "additional reporting" status by publisher Jann Wenner (akin to Timothy Crouse's status during the concurrent 1972 U.S. presidential election) after a last-minute deal was reached with Capote.

Answer 3

It sounds like you're referring to the infamous Altamonte concert. I'm trying to get a link for you.

Edit: Nope it wasn't Altamonte that took place in 1968. Sorry I couldn't help.

Edit #2: I found a set list site. Reason I try so hard on this one, most of the people on here are under 25 and just barely know who they are.
