Rock God Cred Report:
Founding member of Journey & Santana alumni Gregg Rolie is set to release a live DVD of his new band at “Live From The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2007″.
Visit Gregg Rolie’s website for additional info…plus check the details below for additional happenings:
You’ve heard his voice and keyboards on such classic Santana hits as “Black Magic Woman“, “Evil Ways”, “No One To Depend On”, “Everybody’s Everything” and “Oye Como Va“, now legendary Santana / Journey founding member, and Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Gregg Rolie is preparing to release a DVD of his band in concert at the Sturgis Motorcycle Ralley in 2007. Shot with 17 cameras, the Gregg Rolie Band whip up an exciting memorable performance featuring all the beloved Santana hits, as well as tracks from his 2001 critically acclaimed solo CD ‘Roots’
Along with preparations for the new DVD release, Gregg Rolie will be featured on the PBS special Trini Lopez Presents The Legends of Latin Music. Filmed at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles last October, the program will be aired in March 2009. Celebrating its 40th Anniversary, this year Warner Home Video’s will be releasing a Blu-ray and DVD Ultimate Collector’s Edition with high definition picture and sound of ‘Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music’, which will also feature two hours of bonus material, some of it newly-discovered. Much to the elation of fans worldwide, extra footage of Santana’s historic Woodstock performance will be included. Held at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas on Saturday March 23, along with Santana alumni Michael Shrieve, Gregg will reside on a discussion panel of performers, filmakers and key technicians who helped create the timeless music classic and Oscar winning ‘Best Documentary’ Woodstock.
The Gregg Rolie Band consists of founding Santana member Michael Carabello on Congas, Adrian Areas (son of original Santana percussionist Jose Chepito Areas) on Timbale s, drummer Ron Wikso (who was also in The Storm), Kurt Griffey on guitars, internationally acclaimed bassist, Chapman Stick artist and Santana alumni Alphonso Johnson and former Jean Luc Ponty keyboardist Wally Minko. “If you are having a good time at anything you do, you are going to do a good job at what you do,” Gregg recently told music critic Jim Harrington. “That’s really where the key to this band is. We really just enjoy each other a tremendous amount and have a lot of fun with this. We will get up to playing about 50 dates a year, and really that’s about all I want to do.” The Gregg Rolie Band will be performing throughout 2009 with tour dates listed on his official website.

Pete Townshend “Slit Skirts”
Rock God Cred Report:
Click hereto check Pete Townshend’s “Slit Skirts”…I guess it was ineveitable that “Empty Glass” will always overshadow “Chinese Eyes”…probably because the tunes are more Who-friendly. Not sure…anyways this tune kills. Love the Townshend look metamorphosis. New wave Pete was definitely cool on the Who’s “It’s Hard” tour. I was very fortunate to have seen that tour with opening acts T-Bone Burnette, and The Clash. Great concert.
