Black Country Communion, the rock and roll band featuring bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (DeepPurple, Trapeze), blues rock guitarist/vocalist Joe Bonamassa,drummer Jason Bonham(Led Zeppelin), and keyboardist DerekSherinian (Dream Theater),have confirmed the Monday October 24th UK and Europeanrelease of their first ever live DVD & Blu-ray; "LiveOver Europe".
Released by Mascot records, the doublelive DVD wasfilmed with 14 HD cameras and 5.1 Surround Sound during the band's debut worldtour in the summer of 2011. Recorded across three nights in the German citiesof Hamburg, Munich and Berlin, the 18-song set includes tracks taken from bothof BCC'salbums – 2010's eponymous debut, and 2011's follow-upalbum 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 download, available September 8th here. Bonus features include an exclusive 28-page collector's booklet and additional DVD with a 20-minute "behind the scenes" featurette and photo collection.
Producer Kevin Shirley 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 the rest of the world to see and feel."
BCC recently completed their debut tour, visiting a select number of cities in North America and Europe. On June 10, the band played to a packed crowd in Anaheim, California where the Orange County Register exclaimed, "The four members of BCC truly recast the heavy rock of the '60s and '70s and yank it into the 21st century as well as anyone in recent memory." When the band played the UK's Wolverhampton Civic Hall, the Birmingham Mail called their performance "Rip-roaring" and "breathtaking."
