LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ –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 first concert DVD Live over Europe on October 24, 2011 (Blu Ray to follow November 15, 2011) on the J&R Adventures imprint. Watch the official trailer on YouTube here: bit.ly/bccexclusive .

the 2-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, which the Sunday Mercury praised, “This is classic rock goes large, an album that lives up to its heritage. it may not be bettered this year.” 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 Sept. 8, here – bit.ly/bcclive . 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 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.”

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 near sold-out crowd in Anaheim, CA 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.” at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, the Birmingham Mail called their performance “rip-roaring” and “breath-taking.”

as part of J&R Adventures’ strategy to use social media as an integral part of the initial marketing launch of Live over Europe, they created the Facebook BCC Event Page. Facebook members can join the page here on.fb.me/loebcc to receive an exclusive glimpse of the new DVD and a chance to download the live free track “Song of Yesterday.”

Led Zeppelin‘s version of “I Can’t Quit you Baby” is a reasonably slow 12-bar blues that delivers an extremely raw take on Willie Dixon and Otis Rush‘s mid-20th century version.

The song was featured on the bands debut self-titled multi-platinum album, in 1969.

This song was certainly the most successful track venturing out of that album and is a perfectly composed piece. There are no rough patches and the blues patterns are symmetrical, leaving absolutely zero evidence of any sort of studio error.

This one is sure to cure any person’s “Monday Blues.”

Led Zeppelin-”I Can’t Quit you Baby”

You wouldn’t peg Mary J Blige as the black-light-and-tapestry sort, but, as has become readily apparent in recent weeks, she absolutely loves Led Zeppelin.

In early February, reports began circulating that Blige had re-recorded Zeppelin’s classic “Stairway to Heaven,” working with Travis Barker, “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson and guitarist Steve Vai on the track, which is slated to appear on the international reissue of her Stronger with Each Tear album, due Monday.

But after she had recorded “Stairway,” Blige continued to get the Led out, covering another Zeppelin classic — the thunderous “Whole Lotta Love” — for the album too. And when MTV News caught up with her on the Essence Black Women in Hollywood red carpet, she told us all about channeling her inner Robert Plant for the tracks, a process that came much easier than you’d probably imagine.

“I did Led Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and ‘Whole Lotta Love’ — it’s crazy,” she said. “I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I’m not going to say I’ve been to their concerts, but I’ve listened to their music since I was a child, and it’s always moved me, especially ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ and ‘Whole Lotta Love’ is just fun.”

Blige also said she recorded another new song — a “club record” called “I Can’t Wait” — for the re-release. And while it’s only slated to hit shelves outside the U.S., she hopes her fans will get a chance to hear all the new songs pretty soon.

“I want y’all to hear it,” she laughed.
