Title: Temple of Rock (Inakustik)
You might be interested if you like: UFO, The Scorpions
Tell me more: Like Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore, one-time UFO lead guitarist Michael Schenker influenced countless players to pursue the art of perfection when playing their instrument. Because rather than simply shred, Schenker blended emotion into a distinct voice that makes his work on the guitar so timeless. On his "Temple of Rock" (available on DVD, Blu-ray and CD), Schenker proves his prowess on electric guitar continues to be a wonder. Recorded and filmed live at the High Voltage Festival in London in July 2011 and at 013 in the Netherlands in May 2012, the highlights come strong and fast. There is high-octane '70s hard rock ("Blackout"), melodic metal featuring Schenker's graceful side (""Doctor Doctor") and breathtaking lead work ("Lights Out").

Tell me more: Over the years there have been heartfelt tributes to everyone from John Lennon and Johnny Cash to Freddie Mercury. But there is something different and special about "Love For Levon: A Benefit To Save The Barn" (available on DVD, Blu-ray and audio CD). The range of performers who gathered in October 2012 to celebrate the life and music of Levon Helm included legends Roger Waters, Mavis Staples and Gregg Allman as well as rising newcomers Grace Potter, Eric Church and Robert Randolph. Highlights include Potter's chilling "I Shall Be Released" and a blues-styled gospel take on "Move Along Train" courtesy of Mavis Staples. Proceeds from the project will be used to help his estate keep ownership of Helm's home, barn and studio, and to continue The Midnight Ramble Sessions (a series of live performances at his studio).
