Legendary rockers, including Alice Cooper, Queen’s Brian May and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, appear on a new two-DVD set boasting footage from the 2011 and 2012 editions of the annual Sunflower Jam concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Among the many highlights on the video, titled The Sunflower Superjam 2012, are late Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord’s final live performances, which took place at the 2011 event.
Other artists featured on the DVDs include ex-Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman, Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice, Procol Harum singer/keyboardist Gary Brooker, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson and former Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth.
Noteworthy performances on the discs include the world premiere of a Lord-Wakeman collaboration titled “It’s Not as Big as It Was,” Cooper singing his memorable hit “School’s Out,” Dickenson’s rendition of The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes,” an ensemble version of Deep Purple’s classic “Smoke on the Water” and May, Jones, Paice and other musicians collaborating on versions of Rainbow’s “Since You’ve Been Gone” and “Black Night.”
The Sunflower Superjam 2012 DVD is available for pre-order now at TheSunfloweerJam.com. Proceeds raised from sales of the collection will benefit the Sunflower Jam charity. The U.K. organization, which was founded in 2006 by Paice’s wife, Jacky, supports holistic and alternative healing programs for young people stricken with cancer.
