LEGENDARY LIVE ALBUM TO BE REISSUED IN A 4 CD BOX SET
 Live at Leeds |
To mark the 40th anniversary of the 1970 release of The Who‘s Live at Leeds, Geffen/Universal will release a “Super Deluxe” 4 CD
box set on November 16. Having been reissued and expanded from the original six tracks twice before (in 1995 and
2001), the new set will include the complete 150 minute version of the February 14 Leeds University concert, as well
as a double CD of the recording from the February 15 Hull City Hall concert.
The Hull City Hall concert, considered by the band themselves to be the superior performance, was originally
intended as the live album but was later shelved due to “technical difficulties” in the recording. Both concerts
contain a complete performance of Tommy.
The Super Deluxe 4 CD box set also includes a reproduction of the original vinyl album in heavyweight vinyl, a 64-
page hardcover book with pics, memorabilia and recording notes from the shows, a seven-inch 45 single of
“Summertime Blues” b/w “Heaven and Hell” in a color sleeve and a Pete Townshend poster. (via Direct Current)

LOTS OF COOL ACTIVITY FROM A TRULY MODERN ROCK BAND
 Brothers Past by Tobin Voggesser |
It was right around this time ten years ago when Tom Hamilton, Tom McKee, Clay Parnell and Rick Lowenberg first began making music together in a house near West Chester, PA. Ten years later, Brothers Past is still going strong, and they’ve got some big plans for the next year to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the band.
They’ll be kicking off the celebration next month with an anniversary party at the famed Bowery Ballroom in New York City on October 9. The Bowery has been home to many a great BP show, including the CD release party for This Feeling’s Called Goodbye. The party begins at midnight on 10/10/10 (Saturday night, but technically a Sunday show).
The band has also announced the release of Everything Must Go, a digital box set of unreleased studio tracks and live music from over the years. And beginning in October, Brothers Past will be cleaning out the vaults by digitally releasing a soundboard recording from the past along with an unreleased studio track. The tracks will be released on the 10th of each month for the next year. Download
information and cost will be made available soon.
The remainder of 2010 will be spent balancing time between the road and the
studio. Colorado fans take note: Brothers Past returns October 7-8 with allies The New Deal. And down south, the band will be performing in Charleston, Blacksburg and
Baltimore (Oct 21-23 with friends Telepath) Plans for a Thanksgiving run will be announced soon, but one detail is the band will be back at the River Street Jazz Cafe on Thanksgiving Eve, a BP tradition.
Brothers Past Tour Dates
Thursday, Oct 7 – Fox Theatre – Boulder, CO (w/ The New Deal)
Friday, Oct 8 – RE:DEFINITION – CERVANTE’S, DENVER, CO (a two-day event with The New Deal, Future Rock & more)
