CENTENNIAL, Colo. (Top40 Charts/ NCM Fathom) Multi-platinum rock 'n roll band, The
Rolling Stones will transport their legion of fans back to the magical summer of 1978 in The Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live In Texas, a one-night in-theater concert event on Tuesday, October 18, at 7:30 p.m. (local time). Unveiled for the first time in more than 30 years, this rare, never-before-seen concert was captured live in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 18, 1978. Digitally re-mastered to HD with Cinema Surround Sound, this legendary footage includes a mixture of classic Stones hits such as "Brown Sugar," "Honky Tonk Women," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Tumbling Dice," paired with blues numbers and
Chuck Berry covers, as well as songs from the then newly released Some Girls LP including fan favorites "Beast of Burden" and "Miss You." This tour has never been released via broadcast, cable television or DVD before. The special event will also include an exclusive 20-minute interview with
Mick Jagger filmed in August 2011 where he reflects on the fabled 1978 U.S. tour, which is widely believed among fans to be one of the band's greatest tours and strongest musically.
"Fort Worth was an amazing night in a blistering hot July"

"Fort Worth was an amazing night in a blistering hot July," said Jagger. "Watching it now, the band was really intense and focused, but we were also having a blast with the fans who were really getting into the show and the new tracks from Some Girls. I think our fans will love the chance to see this concert movie for the first time on the big screen."
