Some Girls: Live in Texas \u201978\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Stones mark their 50th anniversary with talk of a new album and tour, it\u2019s useful to look back to \u201978, when Mick, Keef and the gang were in their mid-30s, and the band was nearly\u00a020 years old. These days, their longevity is a source of wonder, and for all the gruff they get for shaking their sexagenarian rumps like a bunch of frisky grandpas, few really want them to call it quits. In the late \u201970s, though, there was more at stake and less goodwill to take for granted. This live set, recorded just after the release of the mid-career masterpiece\u00a0Some Girls<\/em>, finds the Stones nimble and loose\u2014determined but in no way desperate to retain the title of \u201cWorld\u2019s Greatest Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll Band.\u201d<\/p>\n

This Fort Worth gig has been available since 2011, when it surfaced on CD and DVD, but this latest reissue spreads the show over two 180-gram vinyl discs, one lipstick red, the other mustard yellow. The colors match the brilliant cover art\u2014a cheeky take on American wartime propaganda posters\u2014and the vibrancy of the show itself. Drawing heavily from Some Girls<\/em>, the Stones prove their relevance in the age of punk, doing the disco-rock groover \u201cMiss You,\u201d Temptations cover \u201cJust My Imagination\u201d and mangy mover \u201cShattered\u201d with their inimitable slack, sexy bounce. The package comes with a DVD, but the footage is secondary to the music itself. Mick\u2019s white blazer and Keith\u2019s red blouse look dated, but the performance will hold up in 25 years, when the Stones celebrate 75 years with a lunar residency. \u2013Kenneth Patridge<\/p>\n
