"It’s finally here! A show we will never forget at an iconic venue, one that’s been on our bucket list for decades. And doing so as the first international band to tour the UK during a pandemic. The entire experience will live in our hearts forever. Thankfully, we can relive it with this incredible movie," says Black Stone Cherry, talking about their just released Live From The Royal Albert Hall… Y'All!
"Not only are you getting the entire performance from the Royal Albert Hall, you’re also going beyond the curtain with us. There are some great behind the scenes footage, jam packed with passion and emotion. We are beyond proud of this! We hope it hits you in the chest just like it did when we watched it!"
Watch "Blame It On The Boom Boom", one of the standout moments from Live From The Royal Albert Hall... Y'All!
On Wednesday, September 29, 2021 - the year of the band's 20th anniversary - Kentucky's favourite sons, Black Stone Cherry, realized their childhood dream of playing at the legendary Royal Albert Hall, London. Sat on the stage at the iconic Victorian building, singer-guitarist Chris Robertson pauses, looks around and says, "When you're a kid, and you see your heroes' playing places, and then all of a sudden you find yourself sitting on the stage, it's pretty emotional. But we're gonna royally rock it this evening. You better believe that."
Throughout the set they tear through an impressive back catalogue, playing songs from their most recent studio album 'The Human Condition – "In Love With The Pain", "Again", and the previously released live track "Ringin' in My Head" - through to their biggest hits and fan favourites. "Blind Man", "Hell And High Water", "Blame It On The Boom Boom", and "White Trash Millionaire" rock the building alongside moments of tenderness such as the touching rendition and emotional performance of "Things My Father Said."
Talking about playing the iconic venue, drummer John-Fred Young said, "To be honest, I was terrified. It was heavy walking in there. You think about how many great acts have played this place. The prestige behind it. We've wanted to play the Royal Albert Hall since the first UK tour in 2007. Dudes from the middle of the country in Kentucky to go out here and have built an amazing group of people that we care about and come to our shows and support us. To know that with all that hard work and dedication we have put into Black Stone Cherry, we've accomplished something here. Walking in that place, it's just breath-taking. You walk on that stage, and you say, we did it, and it's a feeling that I will cherish for the rest of my life."
On the Blu-Ray, the live footage is dotted with behind-the-scenes interviews, fly on the wall footage and archival insights into the band as kids first starting out, snippets of their first ever UK tour and heartfelt moments of reflection. But ultimately Live From The Royal Albert Hall… Y'All was about bringing rock 'n' roll to London, Kentucky style, and they tore the roof off that mother.
The release is available to order here in various formats: digital, CD & Blu-Ray, double vinyl and an online exclusive double vinyl in transparent red.
