BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION - Complete Live Over Europe Details Revealed
September 1, 2011, 13 years ago
As reported earlier, BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION - the band featuring vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH, TRAPEZE), drummer Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN), Derek Sherinian (DREAM THEATER) and blues rock guitarist JOE BONAMASSA - are set to release their Live Over Europe DVD on October 24th and Blu-Ray on November 15th.
The two-DVD live set was filmed with 14 HD cameras and 5.1 surround sound during the band's debut tour in the summer of 2011. Over three nights, playing to packed venues in the German cities of Hamburg, Munich and Berlin, the 18-song set list (17 originals and 1 cover) hits on both of BCC's albums - 2010's debut and 2011's sophomore release 2. Live Over Europe highlights include the songs 'Black Country', 'One Last Soul', 'Save Me', 'Man In The Middle', 'Cold' and 'Song of Yesterday', which fans can sign up to receive as a free audio track download, available September 8 here. Bonus features include an exclusive 28-page collector's booklet and DVD with a 20-minute "behind the scenes" featurette and photo collection.
Producer Kevin Shirley (LED ZEPPELIN, IRON MAIDEN, AEROSMITH) explains: "We saw that this live act could be an awesome force of nature to behold; one that promised legendary performances like those of our heroes of Classic Rock. The plan was to get them out there for the entire world to hear. Records allow a certain musical finesse, but live performance promises so much in the very transient nature of a gig; chances are taken, boundaries are crossed and the most exciting performances explode. Two studio albums built a repertoire big enough for a full concert which allowed us to unleash the monster for all the world to see and feel."
