June 20, 2007, 17 years ago
According to Tbnweekly.com, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams, Joe Lynn Turner (ex-RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE) and a bevy of special guests will join forces to present the Classic Rock Cares concert on Tuesday, July 3, 8 p.m., at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Tampa, FL
Classic Rock Cares concerts are a series of fundraising concerts which will benefit the John Entwistle Foundation. The foundation, named for THE WHO’s late bassist, provides free music education and instruments for underprivileged children through the public library system.
Backed by a group of world-class musicians led by drummer Steve Luongo of THE JOHN ENTWISTLE BAND, Turner will sing the best of Deep Purple and Rainbow. Johnson and Williams, joined by Luongo and Mark Hitt, will perform AC/DC’s record-breaking hits along with their own new material.
The non-stop classic rock show culminates with all of the participating musicians taking part in a raucous Highway to Hell finale. In addition, there will be a silent auction in the Hall’s Grand Concourse with signed artist memorabilia.
Tickets start at $39.75 and are available at the box office, through Ticketmaster or online at www.rutheckerdhall.com.
