The Rolling Stones have announced the release of a new live album from their 2002-03 Licks World Tour. The Rolling Stones Live at the Wiltern features the band’s Nov. 4, 2002, set from Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre.
The show in front of an intimate audience – the Wintern’s capacity is 1,850 – arrived during the Stones’ massive world tour in support of the career-spanning 40 Licks compilation from September 2002 that celebrated the band’s 40th anniversary. The group played nearly 120 shows, mostly arenas and stadiums, on that tour.
The new live set – which will be released on March 8 – will be available in DVD and two-CD, Blu-ray and two-CD, double CD and three-LP formats. The Rolling Stones Live at the Wiltern arrives five months after the release of Hackney Diamonds, the group’s first album of original material in 18 years.
