Unreleased 1989 concert film issued on audio and video formats
The Rolling Stones will issue a previously unreleased 1989 concert film Steel Wheels Live – Atlantic City, New Jersey in September across a large number of audio and video formats.
The Steel Wheels Tour (later rebranded the Urban Jungle Tour) kicked off in August 1989 was in support of the band’s 19th studio album (in the UK) which was released the same month. It lasted a whole year and the North American leg finished at the Convention Centre in Atlantic City, New Jersey in December 1989.
The performance features the usual hits along with four cuts from the Steel Wheels album and guests on stage include Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin, Eric Clapton and John Lee Hooker.
This release from Eagle Rock Entertainment has been “restored, remixed and remastered” and there’s an incredible amount of physical formats to choose from, including limited edition 4LP 180g coloured vinyl, 2CD+SD-blu-ray and 2CD+DVD combo sets, standalone DVD and blu-ray and non-limited 4LP black vinyl.
The pick of the formats however, is probably the special limited six-disc deluxe version, which includes the Atlantic City performance on DVD, SD-Blu-ray and 2CD; a DVD of their Steel Wheels Tour performance at the famed Tokyo Dome; and Steel Wheels Rare Reels – a CD featuring tracks which didn’t feature on the core tour setlist (exclusive to this release).
