AC/DC's "Backtracks" Drops Next Tuesday
AC/DC's box set "Backtracks" is available for fans next Tuesday. The Aussie band has revealed that the "ultimate collection" is packaged inside an amplifier that actually works. Included are three CDs consisting of both studio and live tracks, as well as the DVDs "Family Jewels" and "Live At The Circus Krone." Other goodies in the deluxe set include a 164-page coffee-table book, an 180-gram vinyl LP, original memorabilia reproductions of three fine art lithographs, the "Lock Up Your Daughters" tour flyer, the 1977 "Let There Be Rock" European tour poster, an Angus "Beanie" sticker, and the King Street Studios multi tracks for "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." The "Backtracks" collection is available November 10th.
Norton Buffalo has left the building...
I had a chance to see him with the Steve Miller Band on their visits here and finally got a chance to met him after an after concert party on their last visit, when he made a stop at Jimmy Buffett's new place in Waikiki. It turns out that Norton Buffalo and Kap'n Paul (my former morning show partner) were grow up together. He got up and jammed with the Pirahna Brothers. What a musician and nice guy too! I was sad to read this morning that Norton passed Friday night from cancer. He was 58. If you didn't know Norton appeared on 180 albums and spent 33 years as a member of the Steve Miller Band. Besides Steve he worked with just about everyone in the music business. Norton's life will be celebrated January 23 at the Fox Theatre in a benefit concert starring the Steve Miller Band, The Doobie Brothers, Huey Lewis, George Thorogood and Bonnie Raitt. (That's Norton in the top right picture) Thanks Kapn Paul for introducing to one of your boyhood friends!
