The Rolling Stones’ Previously Unreleased Concert Film ‘Steel Wheels Live’ To Get A Release
Written by Johnson Stephen on July 31, 2020
The Rolling Stones have announced that their previously unreleased 1989 concert film ‘Steel Wheels Live’ filmed at Atlantic City, New Jersey will be available on multiple formats from September 2nd 2020. This latest release from the band’s archives via Eagle Rock Entertainment has been restored, remixed and remastered.
Their first Tour hitting the US since 1981, Steel Wheels was famously one of their longest, and most ambitious, setlists which ran for 2 ½ hours. The Rolling Stones not only played their hits, but dared to roll out several new songs from the then-newly released ‘Steel Wheels’ album. This was a statement – The Rolling Stones revisiting their vast body of work while confidently showcasing where they were going and the broad spectrums of music they’ve explored over their career.
A highlight of this particular Tour stop was the band being joined by special guests: Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin accompany the Stones for the first-ever Live performance of ‘Salt Of The Earth’, from their 1968 ‘Beggars Banquet’ album. Eric Clapton brings his slow Blues burn to ‘Little Red Rooster’ and joins the Stones in backing up one of their Idols, Blues Legend John Lee Hooker, on ‘Boogie Chillen’.
All in all, ‘Steel Wheels Live’ is a Living 
Testament to The Rolling Stones’ incomparable Live Shows.
