Back in November of 2022, a star-studded show was staged, under the guidance of Paul McCartney‘s lieutenant Brian Ray and QUEEN associate Spike Edney, to raise funds for the restoration of Palm Springs’ historic The Plaza, with some unique performances from Orianthi and Josh Homme, who went for classic covers, and some smashes delivered by Alice Cooper and Paul Rodgers, who aeons ago were part of the “British Rock Symphony” project. Three years later, the works are well underway, and so it’s fitting that a recording of that concert, in which Matt Sorum and Eric Singer were a part of backing band, is to be released now.
With vinyl version hitting the shelves on November 28th as a part of Record Store Day and CD issued on December 5th, there’s a format choice, while purchasing the platter seems like a no-brainer, especially for such a noble cause.
