Rock Prophecies

Note: Beginning September 1, APT will eliminate the duplicate SD and HD feeds. This means programs with a native HD format will feed in HD only on HD03 or HD04. Programs with a SD Widescreen format will feed only as an HD-Upconvert on HD03 or HD04. SD formats will feed in SD only on SD05.

Kicking off our impressive September roster is The Rolling Stones: Live at the Max (Widescreen/HD-Upconvert) from Premium Service 22. Filmed during a European leg of the Rolling Stones' 1991 Steel Wheels tour, this 90-minute concert (available in Base, Pledge and 1x120 Pledge Event versions) boasts great songs and an extraordinary stage. The set list includes: "Tumbling Dice," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Paint It Black," "Rock and a Hard Place" and a cheeky "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll." (Watch Connect for feed and release information.)

Let the good times roll a bit further with Live from the Artists Den (2nd Release) (Exchange; 6x60).
