In addition to double CD and triple LP versions of Live At Roosevelt Stadium, Rhino.com is offering an exclusive vinyl LP edition (limited to 500) that includes a 12x12 lithograph of of new original album artwork by Roger Dean. A special Spirit of ’76 vinyl edition will also be available at select independent retailers with an insert. The album will also be available to download and stream.

 Pre-order Live At Roosevelt Stadium

On June 17, 1976, the formidable Relayer lineup of Yes — Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, and Patrick Moraz — performed in front of a capacity crowd at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ. The quintet was captured mid-tour during a live broadcast on New York’s WNEW-FM. While the performance has remained one of the band’s most popular bootlegs for decades, this release marks its first official appearance. Ahead of the full release, the live version of “Roundabout” is out digitally. Have a listen below.

The recording finds the band at a creative peak during the “Solo Albums Tour.” Following the success of Relayer (1974), the members spent 1975 recording five individual solo projects; this 1976 tour was the first time these new arrangements were integrated into the live set. The performance balances full-band epics like “The Gates Of Delirium” and “Ritual” with staples like “Siberian Khatru” and “Heart Of The Sunrise.” The set also features rare individual spotlights for Anderson’s ethereal selections from Olias of Sunhillow and Moraz’s rhythmic explorations from The Story of I, alongside Howe’s acoustic signature, “Clap.” The performance concludes with a rare rendition of “I’m Down,” a high-energy classic originally by The Beatles.

New King Crimson Live Release ‘2014 NYC’ Releasing July 10

 

From 2014 to 2021 King Crimson played music that was, in keeping with Robert Fripp's approach, "new whenever it is performed", freshly minted each night for a new audience to hear. The band would frequently stay in one city for more than one night so that demand for tickets could be met while still appearing in venues where all of the audience could both see and hear fully.

2014 NYC is the start of a new series (to be released on 2LP and 2CD), compiled from those runs of concerts at a single venue/city and commences from the first year of touring with a set taken from the band's four-night run in NYC in September 2014.

Pre-order 2014 NYC on Double LP Vinyl, Double CD, Double CD &  Double LP Bundle

For King Crimson, New York was never just a tour-stop – it was a recurring stage in the band’s mythology. Starting with the 1969 Fillmore East breakthrough and running through those early-’70s returns, climaxing in the Larks’-era farewell to that chapter at Central Park in 1974.

And when Crimson kept mutating, the city kept calling them back. Robert Fripp later pointed to the six nights at the Savoy in 1981 (after rehearsals tucked away in the garment district) as a high-water mark, and later line-ups - the Double Trio, Double Duo, and a 2008 quintet with newly recruited Gavin Harrison at the Nokia Theatre  continued the Manhattan connection, right up to a major reset at the same venue (by then the Best Buy Theatre) in 2014.

That 2014 band (guitarist Robert Fripp, guitarist and vocalist Jakko Jakszyk, horn and reed player Mel Collins, bassist Tony Levin, and drummers Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, and Pat Mastelotto) looked like nothing else on the circuit: three drummers lined up across the front - an idea Fripp described as a sudden “point of seeing - turning rhythm into a moving, interlocked engine”.

Crucially, they didn’t treat the back catalog like museum pieces; they played it as living material, rebuilt with microscopic attention rather than copied note-for-note. The “drumsons” delivered a choreographed surge and uncanny unity (Harrison joked it felt like “one drummer with six legs and six arms”), and a calmer group chemistry let the seven-piece hit with brute force and fine detail at once - refreshing older classics and giving newer pieces extra muscle.

In New York, moments like “Starless,” framed with a deliberate red-light nod to 1974, landed as proof that Crimson could honour its past without slipping into nostalgia: a band that kept reinventing its own language, still pushing forward with no obvious limit.

Later this year, there will be a 2 x Blu-ray release of King Crimson’s entire 19-date U.S. tour from 2014 which will also include this compilation.

J.P. Reali Releases Blues Cover of Grateful Dead's 'I Need A Miracle'

Veteran guitarist and singer-songwriter J.P. Reali has released his new single “I Need A Miracle” and announced his new EP, Grateful Blues, a blues tribute to the Grateful Dead, which will be released on Friday, July 31st. 

Keeping in the spirit of blues guitar giants, Reali’s take on “I Need A Miracle” serves as the perfect introduction to the six-song valentine to the iconic and enduring ensemble. Here, the Bob Weir-penned bopper, originally featured on 1978’s Shakedown Street, gets a lyrical shave, and an infusion of Texas shuffle a la Stevie Ray Vaughn, before dovetailing into a tease of “Bertha.” Have a listen below. 

“‘I Need A Miracle’ is one of my favorite Bob Weir songs,” shares Reali. “Recognizing that it is written in a commonly used blues format, I thought this song has great potential to be a blues guitar rave up. I loved it wherever it appeared in the Dead’s set, but my favorite spot for ‘Miracle’ was always post drum solo!”

The half-dozen Dead nuggets featured on Grateful Blues run the range – from early, blues-laden rarities to deeper album cuts to fan favorites – each reimagined in Reali’s own vernacular. Just like the notoriously adventurous group that sparked the project, Reali sought to create new, atypical versions of these decades-old songs. Recorded at Turtle Studios in Philadelphia, mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Andy Kravitz, and produced by Reali’s longtime friend and drummer Jim Larson, Grateful Blues is as unique a compilation as its creator. Too, it’s as fitting a tribute to the Grateful Dead itself. Track listing for Grateful Blues below.

Pre-order Grateful Blues 

For J.P. Reali, his love for the Grateful Dead all began when he spotted a bumper sticker in a Long Island record store. To his teenage mind, on that fateful day nearly five decades ago, that gleaming, glossy, rectangular vessel of rock-and-roll promotion spoke like a muse: On the Eighth Day God Created The Grateful Dead. Reali was hooked. Raised on a steady stream of Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, and the blues, Reali gravitated towards artists that alchemized it all into arena rock gold. Whether Jimi Hendrix, or Yes, or The Allman Brothers Band - and, of course, the Dead - Reali found overflowing founts of inspiration. He studied guitar, formed bands, and played the blues. And of course, there were the concerts. Reali consumed dozens upon dozens of Dead shows in the 1980s, while pulling double duty as an aspiring musician and audio engineering student at American University in Washington, DC. The obligations and opportunities of Reali’s life merged into a successful career as an audio engineer, working in recording studios alongside the greats and a tenured stint at the venerable Kennedy Center in the nation’s capital.

Along the way, the now Delaware-based Reali has made records of his own, releasing a trio of independent self-produced blues albums over the last nearly 20 years. Grateful Blues will mark the follow-up to 2024’s Blues Since Birth, which featured acclaimed originals and garnered widespread airplay. 

Brit Floyd Kicks Off New Leg Of North American Dates

Brit Floyd, recognized as the world’s premiere Pink Floyd experience, have returned to the road for a new leg of North American dates with its most ambitious production to date: The Moon, The Wall and Beyond tour. Produced by Palladium Entertainment, the dates celebrate 15 years of Brit Floyd (established in 2011), a milestone that underscores the band’s evolution into a global phenomenon, having performed over 1,600 shows worldwide.

2026 marks Brit Floyd’s biggest year ever with the expansive 123-date North American tour that showcases a powerful creative concept celebrating two of Pink Floyd’s most iconic and best-selling albums of all time, The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. The dates follow a massive 2025 that saw BRIT FLOYD dazzle audiences across North America, the UK, and Europe. Some highlights along the 2026 tour route include two nights at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado; a return to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles; and multiple-night engagements in Saratoga, CA; Reno, NV; Milwaukee, WI; Waukegan, IL; Clearwater, FL; Wilmington, NC; Huber Heights, OH.

The Moon, The Wall and Beyond is Brit Floyd’s most immersive production to date, combining spectacular laser and lighting design, iconic visuals and inflatables, a massive video screen, and theatrical staging inspired by The Wall. On select nights, audiences will experience full thematic performances, with distinct setlists dedicated to each album — creating two completely different concert experiences within the same tour. 

The shows will feature selections from The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, including such timeless classics such as “Time,” “Money,” “Comfortably Numb,” and “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2.” Beyond these iconic songs, audiences can also expect a selection of fan favorites from Pink Floyd’s vast discography including tracks from Wish You Were Here to Animals and many more.

“I find this year’s tour rather special for a multitude of reasons,” says Brit Floyd creator and Musical Director Damian Darlington of this year’s production. “Not only do we have the privilege of performing one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, The Dark Side of the Moon, but we are also able to celebrate the very best of The Wall.”

“On the evenings dedicated to The Wall,” Darlington continues. “We truly go all in on the visuals and theatrics; some have said it almost touches on elements of Broadway theatre, which we feel greatly enhances the storytelling. Ian Cattell delivers a remarkable performance in his portrayal of ‘Pink’s’ progression and transformation through each song, much as one might expect from anyone familiar with The Wall film or those who grew up immersed in the album’s imagery and narrative.”

“The Beatles at 3 Savile Row” Opening 2027

Apple Corps Ltd. has announced news of the first ever official Beatles fan experience. The destination known as 3 Savile Row, Mayfair, London is already enshrined in pop cultural history. It was one of Apple’s earliest 1960s headquarters, the studio where Let It Be was recorded and the setting for The Beatles’ – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr – final public performance, the era-defining rooftop concert of January 30, 1969.

And now, 3 Savile Row will open its famous doors to all for the first time. Due to launch in 2027, The Beatles at 3 Savile Row will feature seven floors of never-seen-before material from Apple Corps’ extensive archives, rotating exhibitions, fan store, and the recreation of the original studio where Let It Be was recorded. It will also give fans the opportunity to tread in the band's footsteps as they relive the iconic rooftop concert on exactly the spot it happened.

Since its inception in 1968, Apple Corps Ltd. has overseen The Beatles’ creative and business interests and this completes a full circle moment as it returns to its most famous early headquarters.

Speaking of the opening of 3 Savile Row, Apple Corps’ CEO Tom Greene comments: ‘We’re thrilled to bring Apple Corps back to its spiritual home and give The Beatles fans something truly special. Every single day, fans are taking pictures of the outside of 3 Savile Row – but next year they can go in and explore all seven floors of the iconic building, including the rooftop where even the railings remain the same from that famous day in 1969.”

Paul McCartney says: “It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around. There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people to see it when it’s ready."

Ringo Starr adds: “Wow, it’s like coming home.”

Further details of The Beatles at 3 Savile Row - as well as details of a second experience currently in development - will be announced in due course. Stay tuned by visiting 3savilerow.thebeatles.com.

Deep Purple New Album 'SPLAT!' Dropping July 3

Deep Purple will release their latest studio album SPLAT! July 3 on earMUSIC. The band — Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey, and Simon McBride — has once again teamed up with renowned producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper) and together, they have crafted an album that draws on the sound and attitude that has always set Deep Purple apart from the rest. SPLAT! is their heaviest album in years, with the band playing together in the studio — the way they have always recorded. 

Pre-order SPLAT!

“I have to say, now we are very much back in with material that is compatible with ‘Highway Star,’ ‘Smoke on the Water,’ and ‘Lazy,’ the dynamics, the balance, and the fun of the music we made from ’69 to ’73,” says frontman Gillan, adding: “Where we are now with this incarnation of Deep Purple feels very much like a very ‘now’ version of Deep Purple as it was in the seventies.”

At the heart of SPLAT! is an idea conceived by Gillan. Rather than treating the end as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation: SPLAT! explores the end of humanity not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.

Additional details about the album concept will be revealed in the weeks leading up to its July 3 release. New music from SPLAT! is on the way and Deep Purple invite fans to follow the journey at their Facebook page.

To celebrate the release, the band continues their extensive 2026 touring schedule with no fewer than 86 shows across 28 countries on three continents.

Ian Gillan sums it up: “Deep Purple is in a great place right now.”

The Rolling Stones Announce New Album 'Foreign Tongues' For July 10 Release

The Rolling Stones have announced the release of their new studio album Foreign Tongues, arriving July 10 from Polydor/Universal Music. The 14-track collection follows less than three years after the band’s Grammy Award-winning Hackney Diamonds, which topped charts worldwide and achieved multi-platinum success. The new album will be introduced by the upbeat and infectious lead single "In the Stars" released digitally alongside the album’s opening track "Rough and Twisted." Check it out below.

In the lead-up to the announcement, the band have been subtly building anticipation for the new project, including the limited white label release of the track "Rough and Twisted" only on vinyl under the name The Cockroaches. Circulating among fans and collectors, the release has already sparked excitement and speculation around the sound and direction of Foreign Tongues, offering an early glimpse into the album’s raw and exploratory energy. 

Pre-order Foreign Tongues

Recorded during an exceptionally creative period, Foreign Tongues was brought to life in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who also helmed Hackney Diamonds. The result is a dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band’s unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy.

The album features standout performances from Jagger, Richards and Wood, alongside their core collaborators including Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford and Steve Jordan. It also includes a special appearance from Charlie Watts, captured during one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021. Additional contributions come from an impressive line-up of guest artists, including Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Reflecting on the recording process, Mick Jagger said: “I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 great tracks and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there as it’s not too big so you can feel the passion in the room from everyone.”

Keith Richards added: “The Foreign Tongues album has a continuity from Hackney Diamonds and it was great to be working in London again, and to have that London vibe around us. It was a month of concentrated punch. To me, it's all about the enjoyment of it.  I'm blessed to be able to do this and long may it last.”

Ronnie Wood commented: “The atmosphere in the room was so creative, and the whole band was on top form throughout the whole process. Very often we nailed it on the first take. I hope everyone loves it.”

The album’s striking cover artwork is a painting created by acclaimed American artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn who commented: “Creating the album cover for the Rolling Stones is an artistic honor - a dialogue with one of the most enduring forces in cultural history”

Foreign Tongues will be available on a wide range of formats, including CD, deluxe CD editions, cassette, multiple vinyl variants (standard and limited color pressings), exclusive retailer editions, and special box sets, alongside the single "In The Stars" on CD and vinyl formats.
