Axel Rudi Pell Releasing Magic Moments.. DVD on April 28th
Axel Rudi Pell has releasing a three CD/three DVD digipak set titled Magic Moments – The 25th Anniversary Concert on April 28th in North America via SPV/Steamhammer, which captures his 25th anniversary as a solo artist with a once in a lifetime performance at the Bang Your Head Festival in Balingen, Germany in 2014. Stream “Black Night” with Ronnie Atkins here.
It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning… Wrong song, wrong place! But the weather gods smiled on Axel Rudi Pell on that memorable magic evening of July 11th 2014: There had been a severe weather alert, but in the end the floodgates of heaven opened only during the last song of his regular set, the Rainbow classic “Long Live Rock´n´Roll”. “That was Ronnie James Dio crying from above,” promoter Horst E. Franz speculated while bidding his farewells to the almost 15.000 drenched- but-happy fans at the festival site.
