Briefly: Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, Mark Sandman, Eminem
Foo Fighters have signed on to play two free concerts Wednesday (10/13) at the Arizona Democratic Party's Debate Watch Party at Tempe Beach Park.
The group will perform before that evening's debate between President Bush and Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, and will play a second set immediately after the debate.
Tickets to the free event are available at Kerry's website.
An updated version of "No Quarter: Unledded," Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant's 1994 concert film, will hit movie theaters across the country on Oct. 26, and will also be released on DVD. Page and Plant remixed the film in 5.1 surround sound for the event and DVD release.
Information and tickets for the movie premiere are available at Big Screen Concerts' website.
The late Mark Sandman 's former bandmates in Morphine have compiled the box set "Sandbox: Mark Sandman Original Music," which features two CDs and a DVD.
The 31-track collection, due on Nov. 16, includes previously released material from Morphine and Sandman's previous band, Treat Her Right, as well as some newly uncovered material. The DVD features a mix of previously unseen footage, artifacts from Sandman's career and more music.
Sandman died after collapsing onstage during a 1999 Morphine performance.
Michael Jackson reportedly is demanding that the video for the new Eminem track "Just Lose It" be pulled from the rotation of music networks. BET has complied with the demand.
Jackson is parodied in the clip, in which Eminem dresses like as the self-proclaimed King of Pop, at one point telling a group of children, "Come here, little kiddie, on my lap."
