You Can Still Experience Hendrix

Even before launching next week in Washington DC, the Experience Hendrix Tour has gained enough momentum to add two more stops to its five-concert, Northeast trek. The tour’s initial five shows all sold out, so a second date was added in New York and a new show was scheduled in Providence, RI.
Sponsored by Gibson Guitars, the tour features some of the most respected and innovative figures in rock and blues performing music written by and associated with Jimi Hendrix. The artists include blues guitarist Buddy Guy, pedal steel virtuoso Robert Randolph and contemporary guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Special guests include Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, Rolling Stones veteran guitarist Mick Taylor and Hubert Sumlin, the Mississippi-born guitarist who worked with both Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters.

Madonna, Live Nation Signing New Deal

Madonna is close to making A-Rod money.
The Material Girl and Live Nation are reportedly close to signing a 10-year, $120 million contract which calls for Madonna to deliver three studio albums and for Live Nation to exclusively promote the singer’s tours, sell merchandise and license her name.
Though currently 49, Madonna is showing no signs of slowing down, and even though the pact won’t be done until she is well into her AARP years, the Rolling Stones can attest to major artists still possessing drawing power into their 50s and beyond.

Prince Goes After Bootleggers

Prince is preparing lawsuits against a host of major Web sites- including YouTube, ebBay and BitTorrent site the Pirate Bay - in an effort to regain control of bootlegged music, videos and merchandise. Although no legal action has been taken, the singer recently enlistedhelp from Web Sheriff, a London-based company that scours the Net for offending sites. "It's just a matter of clearing out the worst commercial piracy," says Web Sheriff's John Giacobbi, who has forced the removal of 2,000 illegally uploaded Prince viseos from YouTube and more than 300 auctions of bogus merchandise from eBay. article by Rolling Stone

Led Zeppelin Return

Led Zeppelin will reunite on November 26th at London's o2 Arena for their first concert in twelve years. The September 12th announcement sparked an overwhelming response from fans and fueled speculation that the band might tour for the first time since 1980.

Robert Plant, jimmy Page and John Paul Jones will perform with John Bonham's son, Jason, who played at Zeppelin's last performance, when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.

Lez Zeppelin broke up in 1980, after Bonham died of alcohol-related asphyxiation. They reunited for Live Aid in 1985 and at Atlantic Records' fortieth anniversary concert in '88, but Plant resisted his bandmates'calls for a tour.

Many in the tour industry hope the group will take the show on the road. "It's the one band that everyone has been salivating over forever," says Andy Cirzan, a Chicago promoter. article by 'Evan Serpick'

Van Halen Rocks the Night Away

"I'm not going to waste time BS'ing around tonight," David Lee Roth told the sold-out crowd in Charlotee, North Carolina, on September 27th- as he kicked off his first tour with Van Halen since 1984. Van Halen played for more than two hours. Diamond Dave showed his gift for gab-and flamboyantduds-imitating Mick Jagger, busting out martial-arts moves and riding a giant microphone. Despite old wounds, Eddie VanHalen seemed charmed, nuzzling up to Roth throughout the set. And even Eddie's sixteen-year-old son, Wolfgang- who replaced founding bassist Michael Anthony- had the crowd in the palm of his hand, throwing them picks during "Atomic Punk." We at Platinumtickets have Van Halen tickets to all the shows throughout the country. For a list of tour dates and ticket prices click here.
