Best Buy Brings The Biggest Bang to Life for Rolling Stones Fans
Four-DVD Set Offers Music Lovers Seven Hours of Concert Footage and New
Music
BURNABY, BC, May 30 /CNW/ - The best selling concert tour of all time, A
Bigger Bang, is coming to living rooms across the country as one of the most
ambitious music DVD sets in history. The Rolling Stones and Best Buy are
joining forces to release, The Biggest Bang, a four-DVD set featuring seven
hours of content including two full length concerts, two behind-the-scenes
documentaries and classic favorites such as, "Honky Tonk Women," "Sympathy for
the Devil," and "Satisfaction."
The Biggest Bang will be available starting June 12 for $34.99 at all
Best Buy stores in Canada and online at www.BestBuy.ca. Customers can
pre-order the four DVD set at www.BestBuy.ca beginning today.
The Biggest Bang will be released internationally mid-summer.
The Biggest Bang offers fans an all access pass including a
behind-the-scenes look from the Rolling Stones' recent tour, A Bigger Bang -
the biggest selling concert tour of all time. Additionally, the DVD set
features full length concerts from the Rolling Stones historic show on Rio de
Janeiro's famed Copacabana Beach, which was attended by two million concert
goers, and a concert in Austin, Texas - a highlight of the U.S. tour.
"The Biggest Bang DVD set lets fans join us as we traveled around the
world," said the Rolling Stones. "They will go behind the scenes at the Super
Bowl, see us play an intimate club show in Toronto and for 2 million people on
the beach in Rio, as well as gigs in Shanghai, Buenos Aires and Japan. It
features classics but also rarities - songs we've never released before on
DVD."
The Biggest Bang is loaded with rare songs and music. It includes
exciting never-before-released duets with artists including Dave Matthews,
Bonnie Raitt and Eddie Vedder. There are also rare, never-released tracks
including "Get Up, Stand Up" and "Mr. Pitiful," from a 2005 performance in
Toronto. The Biggest Bang features more than 55 songs and footage from around
the world, including concerts in Argentina, Japan and China.
"Four Flicks was great, but practice makes perfect and The Biggest Bang
is even better - it's got all the right stuff," said tour promoter Michael
Cohl. "It's great to be back with Best Buy, and we're pleased that they have
decided to offer fans this incredible DVD collection at a great low price."
This marks the second time that Best Buy has worked with the Rolling
Stones to release this kind of DVD set. In 2003, Best Buy released Four
Flicks, a four-DVD set from the Rolling Stones that was certified 19-times
platinum and is the number one selling concert (long form) DVD in U.S.
history.
"We're excited to bring our customers this incredible DVD set giving fans
an up close and personal look at the Rolling Stones and showcasing some of
their most dynamic performances," said Mike Pratt, Best Buy Canada's Senior
Vice President. "This partnership reinforces our continued commitment to bring
unique entertainment into the homes of our customers. The Biggest Bang is
truly a world class entertainment experience, and we are honored to be a part
of this DVD launch."
The Biggest Bang was produced, conceived and created by The Rolling
Stones, Michael Cohl, and Concert Productions International.

naturally the Stones arent offering any type of pre-sale bonus offers that all other bands custamarily do
just think, the next cool thing they do for their fans will actually be their first. |
