“I would hate to come out with something that’s not startling,” Mick Jagger said about the launch of the 1989/90 Steel Wheels Tour in a statement.
Steel Wheels Live will come in a variety of formats, including a limited 180gm 4LP colored vinyl, DVD + 2CD, SD Blu-ray + 2CD and digital. The set will also include a DVD from the Japan Dome as well as Steel Wheels Rare Reels, a CD featuring songs that aren’t in the Rolling Stones’ usual setlist.
Aside from the special edition restored, remixed and remastered set, they’ll also be dropping a double A-sided 10″ picture disc of “Rock and a Hard Place” (Live from Atlantic City) and “Almost Hear You Sigh” (Live from Tokyo Dome) on Record Store Day‘s fall date (Sept. 26).
To make matters more interesting, ahead of this show, Keith Richards allegedly pulled a knife on none other than Donald Trump, who was the show’s promoter. Richards said that he wanted to bill the show as Donald Trump presents the Rolling Stones. “I got out my trusty blade, stuck it in the table and said: ‘You have to get rid of this man,'” Richards said in 2018.
