SOME GIRLS LIVE IN TEXAS ’78

ROLLING STONES
SOME GIRLS LIVE IN TEXAS ‘78 DVD

On the heels of their strongest album since Exile on Main Street, the Stones took on the States.  Not quite 1975’s Tour of the Americas, but stadiums, small clubs, and national TV were on the itinerary.  During the few years the band had been away, much had changed for them, both musically and personally.  They were eager to hit the road and once again assert themselves as The World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.

The Some Girls album sold well immediately upon its release in June thanks to the popularity of the “Miss You” single, news of the upcoming tour, and, of course, the inherent buzz surrounding any new Stones material.

As fans and critics began to realize that the album was an in-the-moment masterpiece, the Stones were a part of the conversation for all of the right reasons.  No more hollow accusations of being outdated or past their prime.  The talk now focused on their singing, playing and renewed energy.

Accented only by keyboardists Ian Stewart and Ian McLagan, the Stones brought a load of energy with them to Fort Worth, Texas on July 18.  The Will Rogers Auditorium oozed with anticipation as the crowd waited into the night for the band to take the stage.  The tension is evident and is finally broken with the opening of “Let It Rock,” a Chuck Berry favorite from years ago that was as symbolic as it was powerful.

Taking a little time to prove that they were back in control before moving to the new songs, they piled on with “All Down the Line,” “Honky Tonk Women,” and “Star Star,” three reminders of how potent they could be.

It’s now showcase time as the next seven songs are all new.  “When the Whip Comes Down” blazes while “Beast of Burden” and “Miss You,” later to become signature Stones songs, show the band’s still-powerful command of creating the right sound for the right time.

Segueing to a run of classics, they reach back to “Love in Vain,” which just pours out thick and rolls on with some beautiful slide from Ron Wood. “Tumbling Dice” has the proper amount of swagger and greasiness, and “Happy” is sleazy rockin at its best.  The closer of “Brown Sugar” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” leaves no doubt as to who lays claim to the title of The World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.

No excess, no restraint. Truly a moment in time and in Stones history.
