Two weeks ago, we learned that the Rolling Stones were accepting pre-orders for highly collectible, limited-edition vinyl sets of 'The Brussels Affair,' a much-bootlegged show from 1973. Now the band will release two-LP/DVD/CD versions of two other concerts on Sept. 11: 'Some Girls: Live in Texas ‘78' and 'Live At The Checkerboard Lounge Chicago 1981.'
