BAD COMPANY LIVE AT WEMBLEY DUE JUNE 28 IN THREE FORMATS
When legendary classic rockers Bad Company performed at the historic British venue Wembley Arena in London on a beautiful April 2010 spring night, high-definition cameras captured the whole evening in all its glory. On June 28, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Live At Wembley simultaneously on DVD, Blu-Ray & CD, through its Eagle Vision & Eagle Records imprints.
There was magic in the air as all three original Bad Company members—vocalist extraordinaire Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke — are augmented by bassist Lynn Sorensen and guitarist Howard Leese. (Original bassist Boz Burrell sadly died in 2006.)
The set list is packed with every major hit, fan favorites and seldom-heard deep album cuts. The DVD and Blu-Ray includes a band interview.
Bad Company burst upon the rock’n’roll scene in 1973, and was immediately dubbed a super-group by fans and press alike, as its members all came from very successful popular bands: Free (Rodgers and Kirke), Mott The Hoople (Ralphs) and King Crimson (Burrell). They lived up to the hype for nine straight years with a string of six soulful hard-rocking albums.
After a four-year break, Bad Company got back together minus Rodgers (who had formed The Firm with Jimmy Page) with lead vocalist Brian Howe. Rodgers returned in 1999.

BCC has been wowing crowds since the tour kicked off on June 9. The band played to a near sold-out crowd in Anaheim, CA on June 10 where The Orange County Register exclaimed, “The four members of BCC truly recast the heavy rock of the '60s and '70s and yank it into the 21st century as well as anyone in recent memory.”
On June 14, Black Country Communion released its highly anticipated sophomore album “2” on the independent label J&R Adventures. “2” is in stores now and available on the band’s website. Fans can also download a free MP3 of track "The Outsider”.

J&R Adventures was founded by Joe Bonamassa and longtime manager Roy Weisman. The company prides itself on its ability to diversify and stay nimble in the ever-changing music industry landscape. Since its inception, J&R Adventures has been able to combine customary label operations with artist management, album production and mastering, merchandising, publishing, licensing and concert promotion – all under one roof. Through this, Weisman says, “J&R is a true 360 degree record label that is able to benefit because we are a vertically integrated company. We are able to utilize social networking to its fullest and consolidate all profit centers into one. This kind of integration is required to maintain success in today’s constantly changing record industry.” Through these methods, J&R has also been able to give control to its artists, allowing the artists to work hand-in-hand with the label to achieve their shared vision.
BCC has many more tour dates this summer as they head to Europe and the UK where The Birmingham Mail called a recent performance at Wolverhampton Civic Hall “rip-roaring” and “breath-taking.”
