Best Buy Brings The Biggest Bang to Life for Rolling Stones Fans
The best selling concert tour of all time, A Bigger Bang, is coming to
living rooms across the country as one of the most ambitious music DVD
sets in history. The Rolling Stones and Best Buy are joining forces to
release, The Biggest Bang, a four-DVD set featuring seven hours
of content including two full length concerts, two behind-the-scenes
documentaries and classic favorites such as, "Honky
Tonk Women,” "Sympathy
for the Devil,” and "Satisfaction.” The Biggest Bang will be available starting June 12 for $29.99
exclusively at all Best Buy stores in the United States and at online www.BestBuy.com.
Customers can pre-order the four DVD set at www.BestBuy.com
beginning today. It will also be available in Canada at Best Buy stores
as well as Future Shop stores.
The Biggest Bang will be released internationally mid-summer.
The Biggest Bang offers fans an all access pass including a
behind-the-scenes look from the Rolling Stones’
recent tour, A Bigger Bang – the
biggest selling concert tour of all time. Additionally, the DVD set
features full length concerts from the Rolling Stones historic show on
Rio de Janeiro’s famed Copacabana Beach, which
was attended by two million concert goers, and a concert in Austin,
Texas - a highlight of the U.S. tour.
"The Biggest Bang DVD set lets fans join us
as we traveled around the world,” said the
Rolling Stones. "They will go behind the
scenes at the Super Bowl, see us play an intimate club show in Toronto
and for 2 million people on the beach in Rio, as well as gigs in
Shanghai, Buenos Aires and Japan. It features classics but also rarities
--- songs we’ve never released before on DVD.” The Biggest Bang is loaded with rare songs and music. It includes
exciting never-before-released duets with artists including Dave
Matthews, Bonnie Raitt and Eddie Vedder. There are also rare,
never-released tracks including "Get Up,
Stand Up” and "Mr.
Pitiful,” from a 2005 performance in Toronto. The
Biggest Bang features more than 55 songs and footage from around the
world, including concerts in Argentina, Japan and China.
"Four Flicks was great, but practice makes perfect and The Biggest Bang
is even better - it's got all the right stuff," said tour promoter
Michael Cohl. "It's great to be back with Best Buy, and we're pleased
that they have decided to offer fans the same low price as they did with
Four Flicks three years ago."
This marks the second time that Best Buy has worked with the Rolling
Stones to release an exclusive DVD set. In 2003, Best Buy released Four
Flicks, a four-DVD set from the Rolling Stones that was certified
19-times platinum and is the number one selling concert (long form) DVD
in U.S. history.
"We're excited to bring our customers this exclusive DVD set giving fans
an up close and personal look at the Rolling Stones and showcasing some
of their most dynamic performances," said Gary Arnold, Best Buy’s
senior vice president of entertainment. "This partnership reinforces our
continued commitment to bring unique entertainment into the homes of our
customers. The Biggest Bang is truly a world class entertainment
experience, and we are honored to be a part of this DVD launch.”
The Biggest Bang was produced, conceived and created by The Rolling
Stones, Michael Cohl, and Concert Productions International.
