Eric Burdon and War Rare Live Footage


Gonzo will release a rare Live DVD/CD package from Eric Burdon and War in April. Part of the Lost broadcasts Series the live performance was captured in a German TV studio in late 1970. Eric Burdon first encountered War in 1969 in San Francisco and the musical rapport was immediate. With War Eric recorded two well received albums, “Eric Burdon Declares War” and “Black Man’s Burdon”. It was shortly after the release of the second album Black man’s Burdon that this session was captured for broadcast. Shortly after the recording however Eric Burdon was taken ill and left the band mid tour. Footage of Eric Burdon and War is extremely rare and this footage has rarely been seen since the original broadcast in 1970. The tracks featured include an extended version of the bands hit single Spill The Wine and a cover of the Rolling Stones song Paint It Black. The DVD/CD package will be available to order directly from the Gonzo website.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
