Coming off their most-successful world tour to date, Alter Bridge announces the release of a new live album and rarities collection. Live At The O2 Arena + Rarities is scheduled for worldwide release on September 8th through Napalm Records. One of the biggest moments of the band’s career was the monumental show at London’s famous O2 Arena on November 24th, 2016. That landmark performance is now captured in its entirety on two CDs. The 19-track recording documents what an enormous presence Alter Bridge have become on concert stages around the world. The album can be preordered here.
Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips tear through hits like Farther Than The Sun, Show Me A Leader, Rise Today, and their masterpiece Isolation, showcasing a band on the top of their game. Other highlights include the Tremonti sung Waters Rising, the acoustic-driven Watch Over You and their mighty signature anthem Blackbird.
In addition, this latest release contains an exclusive full-length “Rarities”-CD that will give every collector cause for rejoice. The CD features the never-before released tracks Cruel Sun and Solace that were recorded during the One Day Remains sessions. The song Breathe from those same sessions was released as a bonus track exclusively for Best Buy on The Last Hero. These tracks join seven other songs that have only been released in Japan until this collection.
This incredible collection of Alter Bridge gems will be released in xxx different formats. In addition to the regular three CD audio version, you can go for the ultimate fan experience and get one of the limited deluxe versions which also include an exclusive documentary with plenty of interviews with the band, their crew and family, giving you an amazing glimpse behind the scenes of this legendary show at London’s O2 arena!

No dvd of the concert? I’d also like to know what happened to the Live In Milan dvd that was supposed to be released a few years ago. It had a release date and everything then just disappeared. Alter Bridge’s website is awful.
I love Alter Bridge! I have all of their music, and will certainly buy this. They are a CRIMINALLY under appreciated band, in my opinion. Each of their records has it’s own sound, but also carry the Alter Bridge ethos. THE LAST HERO is a killer record, if you haven’t heard it.
