Chickenfoot - "Get Your Buzz On LIVE" - DVD/Blu-Ray

Regular readers know of our love of Chickenfoot here at Rockgig.. we reviewed their gig at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire (read it here) and their CD (right here) and we adored both of them. So if you've read both of those reviews (and I think you should) then there is little that I can add to sell this to you - you know it's going to be good - and it is. From the start of Avenida Revolution to the crowd's cheers at the end of My Generation when Sammy says "That's the way Rock n Roll is supposed to be played!" - and he ain't wrong. The guy is in his 60's now but he still has that voice.

Filmed with 16 hi-definition cameras over three sold out concerts, Chickenfoot: Get Your Buzz On “Live” offers fans an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience four rock’n’roll legends sharing the stage and blowing the roof off with their explosive musicianship and  dynamic onstage chemistry.  In case you've been living under a rock for a while Chickenfoot won Best New Band of 2009 at the Classic Rock Magazine Awards, and features vocalist Sammy Hagar (ex-Van Halen, Montrose), bassist Michael Anthony (ex-Van Halen), drummer Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani.

The band’s self-titled debut album, released in heat sensitive packaging, was released to critical acclaim in June 2009, and has since been certified gold in both America and Canada with sales in excess of 750,000 copies.  During the same year, the band embarked on a small North American club tour, performed in Europe in the summer and returned to North America to perform two sold out tours, one in the summer, followed by another in the fall. During the summer of 2009, the electrifying, hi-energy concert performances were filmed in hi-definition by award-winning director Daniel E. Catullo III (Rush, Creed, Godsmack, Smashing Pumpkins) and mixed in DTS 5.1 Surround Sound by Mike Fraser.

The Blu-ray and DVD features one full concert shot at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, Arizona on September 23rd, 2009, plus live segments from shows at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia and The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

Also on the disc is a photo gallery and a 52 minute documentary which is just as entertaining as the live gig.  It's full of exclusive, never-before-seen backstage footage, rare interviews, extra performance footage, and interview segments featuring a host of special guests including Adam Corolla, Bob Weir and Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel (aka Christopher Guest). Chad Smith is a legend - just stopping people on the street, showing them a photo of Chickenfoot and asking them if they know who they are (apparently yes,  that is Jimmy Page on guitar) Adam Corolla asks Michael Anthony what it's like being the worst member of the band and Christopher Guest confirms that it was him we saw at the Shepherd's Bush Empire gig (I'm sure that's a fiver you owe me Mark!)

Chickenfoot: Get Your Buzz On “Live” is released on DVD & Blu-ray in the USA by EMI America (April 20), and in the UK by Eagle Rock Entertainment (April 26).  Further info:www.chickenfoot.us
