This past March saw ‘The Sound And Vision Awards‘ host an all-star charity concert that celebrated the works of Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler and ex-Bad Company, Free, Queen, etc. vocalist Paul Rodgers. That March 02nd show was held at the Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs, CA and saw both honorees in attendance. It was captured for what will now be an official live concert film/album.
Matt Sorum (ex-Guns N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver, etc.) co-founded the Adopt The Arts non-profit which benefitted from the show and also served as a producer for the concert. Dubbed ‘Sound & Vision Live‘, that live concert film will be screened on September 13th at the aforementioned venue it originally took place at. A September 28th release date has been set for a new vinyl pressing of the record, which has been limited to 2,000 copies. For pre-orders, head to experiencevinyl.com. Kemble Walters and Miguel Sosa mixed the audio for this upcoming release.
Guest performers included with the show itself included:
Matt Sorum (ex-Guns N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver)
Lzzy Hale (Halestorm)
Corey Taylor (Slipknot)
Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)
Glenn Hughes (ex-Deep Purple)

Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke)
Mike Mangan (The Cult)
Phil X (Bon Jovi)
Tanya O’Callaghan (Whitesnake, Bruce Dickinson)
Steve Salas (Mick Jagger)

Paul III (Alicia Keys)
Sorum said of the endeavor:
“I never went into that night thinking we were making a record. I originally had the show recorded and filmed because I wanted to preserve the experience for myself. But when I listened back, I realized we had captured something truly magical — the energy in the room, the performances, and the spirit of all these incredible artists coming together for the kids. Through Experience Vinyl, we had an opportunity to turn that moment into something people could hold on to while raising meaningful support for music education.”
