The Rolling Stones are coming to movie cinemas worldwide again in a concert film. As previously reported, “Some Girls Live in Texas 1978” is being released for one night only in movie theaters in October 2011, except for in Argentina, when it will be in cinemas in November 2011. The movie will be released by Eagle Vision on DVD and Blu-ray on November 21, 2011.
The dates, cities and locations for the theatrical release have now been announced.
“Some Girls Live in Texas 1978” was filmed in Forth Worth, Texas, on July 18, 1978, during the band’s tour to promote the Rolling Stones’ 1978 album “Some Girls.” Shot on 16 mm film, the movie that will be shown in theaters has been restored to high definition with 5.1 audio, and the total running time will be 85 to 90 minutes. In addition, the movie will include an August 2011 interview with Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger giving his thoughts on the concert.
Some of the songs performed in the movie include “Miss You,” “Beast of Burden” “Tumbling Dice,” “Honky Tonk Women,” “Brown Sugar,” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.”
As previously reported, Universal Music is releasing a remastered reissue of the “Some Girls” album (with previously unreleased tracks), which is due out on November 21, 2011 — the same day as the DVD/Blu-ray releases of “Some Girls Live in Texas 1978.”
The concert film “Ladies and Gentlemen ... The Rolling Stones” had a similar release in 2010: one night only in theatres, followed a month later by the DVD/Blu-ray releases.
