Rolling Stones Ready ‘A Bigger Bang: Live on Copacabana Beach’ Reissue
The Rolling Stones’ February 2006 gig in Rio de Janeiro is the focus of the band’s next live album/concert film A Bigger Bang: Live on Copacabana Beach.
While the majority of the gig featured as part of the 2007 four-DVD collection The Biggest Bang, the “remixed, re-edited and remastered” reissue of the concert includes four tracks excised from the original DVD: “Tumbling Dice”, “Oh No, Not You Again”, “This Place Is Empty”, and “Sympathy for the Devil.”
A Bigger Bang: Live On Copacabana Beach will be released in a multitude of formats — Blu-ray/two-CD, three-LP, a deluxe two-CD/two-DVD, and more — on July 9th. Yhe live album is available to preorder now.
The Copacabana Beach show was a free concert, resulting in what was reportedly one of the largest crowds ever. “Not that we’re unused to playing some of the biggest shows in the world, but I must say Rio did take the cake,” Keith Richards said of the show in a statement.
“It was amazing,” Mick Jagger added. “It was a really good audience. They know how to enjoy themselves on those occasions.”
The deluxe edition of A Bigger Bang: Live on Copacabana Beach includes a bonus disc featuring the Rolling Stones’ November 2005 concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, another show from the same A Bigger Bang Tour.
Ahead of the live album’s July 9th release, Mercury Studios will drop a five-song digital EP with the Rio renditions of “Sympathy for the Devil”, “Wild Horses”, “You Got Me Rocking”, “Happy”, and “Rough Justice,” the latter track from the Utah show.
