Flashpoint is a live album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, their first live album by the group since 1982's Still Life. The album was compiled by Chris Kimsey with the assistance of Chris Potter.
The album was recorded in 1989 and 1990 on the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour and released in 1991. Steel Wheels Live, released in 2020, is another release from the tour, with a complete 1989 concert and a selection of live rarities.
The tour and the two studio tracks recorded for Flashpoint were the last for bassist and long-time member Bill Wyman as a Rolling Stone.
