Live 1978 Concert on Double LP + DVD!
Mixed & Mastered by Bob Clearmountain from the Original Multi-Track Tapes!
Live concert performed and recorded during a show at the Will Rogers Auditorium in Fort Worth, Texas, July 18, 1978 during the Rolling Stones' 1978 US Tour in support of their Some Girls album.
The Rolling Stones 1978 tour of the USA in support of that year's Some Girls album is considered by fans to be one of their very best. The tour followed immediately on the release of the Some Girls album, and by the time the band arrived in Texas in mid-July, the album had hit the No. 1 spot on the US charts. The tour took a "back to basics" approach, with the band and their music very much at the forefront and little or no elaborate staging.
Filmed at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas on July 18, 1978, this concert is typical of the tour with the Rolling Stones delivering a raw, energetic performance in front of a crowd who are clearly loving the show. Many of the tracks from Some Girls are included in the live set with a sprinkling of Stones classics from earlier albums. Originally shot on 16mm film, the footage has been carefully restored and the sound remixed and remastered by Bob Clearmountain from the original multi-track tapes. This is undeniably the Rolling Stones at the peak of their form.
DVD bonus features include 2011 interview with Mick Jagger, a Saturday Night Live performance from 1978, and an excerpt from an ABC 20/20 special on their rehearsal in 1978 for the tour. Standard-weight black vinyl in a triple-gatefold jacket.
