The Rolling Stones

In July 1978, during the Rolling Stones' "Some Girls" tour, they performed at the Will Rogers Memorial Centre in Fort Worth, Texas. This live recording of "Beast of Burden" showcases the band at a pivotal moment in their career, following the release of their acclaimed album "Some Girls" just a month prior in June. This album marked a significant shift for the band, incorporating elements of punk and new wave while still maintaining their classic rock roots. "Some Girls" was critically acclaimed and commercially successful, revitalizing the band's popularity and showcasing their adaptability. This period also saw the Stones addressing social issues in their lyrics while remaining true to their rock 'n' roll ethos, encapsulated vividly in their energetic live performances. The tour was a celebration of this resurgence, capturing the band's dynamic stage presence and the connection they fostered with their audience.
