Described as a document of their “final touring chapter,” it’s to be screened in North America on November 3rd, with a DVD release to follow on November 18th.
Producers say, “Featuring interviews with the band throughout their sold-out 2015 40th Anniversary tour, the film also shows rarely seen backstage footage capturing the final moments of life on the road.
This is the final touring chapter of a band that has meant so much to so many fans around the world. It’s an intimate view ‘under the hood’ of a historic moment from the perspective of the band, their fans, crew, and management.”
The two-hour presentation also includes 20-minute short A Salute To Kings, in which Gene Simmons of KISS, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy and Rush producer Nick Raskulinecz discuss their experiences of the Canadian trio.
The nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017 are in, and the list includes Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Depeche Mode, Electric Light Orchestra, Jane’s Addiction, Janet Jackson, Journey, the Cars, the Zombies and Yes. The rest of this year’s hopefuls are Bad Brains, Chaka Khan, Chic, J. Geils Band, Joan Baez, Joe Tex, Kraftwerk, MC5 and Steppenwolf. The top vote-getters will be announced in December and inducted next April at a ceremony at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. HBO will broadcast the ceremony later in the year.
For the fifth consecutive year, the public will have the opportunity to vote alongside the more than 800 artists, historians and music industry insiders of the Rock Hall voting body. From now until December 6th, fans can vote on RollingStone.com for the nominees they’d like to see inducted. The top five acts will comprise a “fan’s ballot” that will count as one of the ballots that determine the class of 2016. Voting is available at the bottom of this page.
To be eligible for this year’s ballot, each nominee’s first single or album had to be released in 1991 or earlier. Some of the nominees have appeared on previous ballots, but this is the first appearance for Bad Brains, Depeche Mode, Electric Light Orchestra, Jane’s Addiction, Joan Baez, Journey, Pearl Jam, Steppenwolf, and Tupac Shakur. It’s Pearl Jam and Shakur’s first year of eligibility, while Chic earned a Hall of Fame record with 11 ballot appearances. It’s the fifth for Joe Tex, the fourth for the J. Geils Bands and Kraftwerk and the third for Yes.
In a change of tradition, the Hall of Fame has announced the individual members of each band that will be honored. Pearl Jam have had five drummers, but only current drummer Matt Cameron and founding member Dave Krusen will be inducted should they make it in. Electric Light Orchestra has had many musicians come and go over the years, but just Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, Bev Bevan and Richard Tandy made the cut. The classic Steve Perry lineup of Journey is listed along with founding keyboardist/singer Gregg Rolie. As far as Yes, original singer Jon Anderson is on the ballot along with drummers Bill Bruford and Alan White, keyboardists Tony Kaye and Rick Wakeman, guitarists Steve Howe and Trevor Rabin and bassist Chris Squire. Keyboardist Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode after their first album Speak & Spell, but he is listed along with the rest of the band.
Great debut today for my new show on the new SiriusXM channel Volume (106). It’s really exciting to see where this is going to take me and there are so many great possibilities now doing a daily rock talk show. My first guests were Lars Ulrich and Peter Frampton (like I said, I will have variety in rock in this show). The complete Lars interview will be available as my free podcast posting this Thursday. I only aired about half in the Volume show due to time constraints. The podcast is free and Lars will go up this Thursday on www.podcastone.com and Itunes. It was great to talk with Frampton as well. A true legend and very underrated guitarist and super nice guy. Tomorrow Rick from Cheap Trick is among the guests plus we dissect the latest R&R HOF nominees. This is a LIVE show so you never know what will happen. Join me 2-4PM ET tomorrow and get involved by calling 844-6VOLUME. Replays every night of my show 9-11P and it’s also on the SiriusXM app. Huge thanks to all the great staff I have attached to this show. We will no doubt have some fun in the days, weeks and months ahead!
Please note my Monday show on Hair Nation channel 39 resumes live next Monday at a new time of 5-8P ET. That will still be the usual mix of music and hard rock/metal only talk and guests.
