- Black Country Communion, the English-American rock supergroup featuring the talents of bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Trapeze, Black Sabbath), blues rock guitarist/vocalist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), will release their much-anticipated concert DVD and Blu Ray ‛Live Over Europe“ on October 24, 2011. The performances were filmed with 14 HD cameras during the summer of 2011 in the German cities of Hamburg, Munich and Berlin. Bonus features include exclusive 28-page collector’s booklet and DVD featuring 20-minute ‛behind the scenes“ footage and photo collection [!]
Producer Kevin Shirley explains, “we saw that this live act could be an awesome force of nature to behold; that promised legendary performances like those of our heroes of Classic Rock (and I have seen some of my all time favorite performances at a Black Country Communion gig because they are that good). The plan was to get them "out there", for all the 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 would build a repertoire big enough for a full concert and then we could unleash the monster for all the world to see and feel... so here it is!”
