Standard DVD version with no bonus CD. Continuing their partnership with the greatest rock ānā roll band in the world, Eagle Rock Entertainment have announced the DVD and Blu-Ray release of The Rolling StonesāSome Girls Live in Texas 1978ā. Available for the first time ever from 28Ā November āSome Girls Live in Texas 1978ā features Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and Bill Wyman live in concert during the 1978Ā US tour which followed the release of their groundbreaking album SomeĀ Girls.
āSome Girls Live in Texas 1978ā comes hot on the heels of the huge success of 2010ās āStones in Exileā and āLadies & Gentlemenā and marks the next stage in the Eagle Vision / Rolling Stones enterprise. āSome Girls Live in Texas 1978ā will be available on four different formats: DVD, Blu-Ray plus special edition DVD + CD and Blu-Ray + CD digipack presentations including a reproduction tour programme. Bonus features on all formats will include a new interview with Mick Jagger. Worldwide theatrical distribution deals including the UK will be announcedĀ soon.
Capturing The Rolling Stones at their live best, and fully restored to the highest level of picture and sound quality, āSome Girls Live in Texas 1978ā was filmed at the Will Rogers Memorial Centre in Forth Worth, Texas on 18Ā July 1978Ā on what many fans consider to be one of the bandāsĀ greatest tours. This was due to the bandās āback to basicsā approach both musically and visually, as the shows were stripped back compared to previous tours, harnessing the new punk rock attitude of the lateĀ 70s.
Showcasing many songs from the Some Girls album, celebrated for being the Rolling Stonesā most direct and diverse collection of music, and which by the time the band arrived in Texas, had gone to the top of the US charts, this concert demonstrates the sheer force and raw energy of The Rolling Stones live onĀ stage.
Some Girls songs like āMiss Youā, āRespectableā,ā Beast Of Burden, āWhen The Whip Comes Downā and āShatteredā weave into a set list which also includes āAll Down The Lineā, āHonky Tonk Womenā, āTumbling Diceā, āJumpinā Jack Flashā, āHappyā and āBrownĀ Sugar.
Originally shot on 16mm film, the concert footage has been carefully restored with the sound remixed and remastered by Bob Clearmountain from the original multi trackĀ tapes.
āEagle is delighted to once again be working with the Rolling Stones on another landmark release highlighting an outstanding performance from the worldāsĀ greatest rock ānā rollĀ band.ā
