At this point The Stones had transitioned from The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World to The Greatest Garage Band in The World. This is an excellent concert form 78.
Some Girls was essentially a "come back" album. They stripped down from the over-the-top 75-76 lives shows to the basics in 78. The set list is heavy on Some Girls with a few warhorses thrown in.
78 is one of the best tours from the Ronnie years in regard to how much Ronnie and Keith actually played. And how well they played! The negative- Mick was nearing the end of his very flamboyant stage antics era that included some questionable cringe-worthy moments with Ronnie (or Billy Preston a couple of years earlier).
