Bassist CHUCK WRIGHT To Take Part In 'Flashback - The Classic Rock Experience'

August 13, 2008

Bassist Chuck Wright (QUIET RIOT, HOUSE OF LORDS, GIUFFRIA) will take part in the "Flashback – the Classic Rock Experience", a national arena tour which "delivers anew the hit music of the all-time greatest artists — JANIS JOPLIN, JIMI HENDRIX, THE DOORS, LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD and more — presented in a mind-boggling multi-media spectacle one must see to believe," according to a press release.

"The intention is to present the music like it’s never been presented before," says veteran concert promoter Rick Bowen, founder of "Flashback – the Classic Rock Experience", and its creative director. "I wanted to do it even better than done originally. We have the world's greatest players, who studied every move the classic bands ever made."

The nearly three-hour show reworks indelible songs of the most highly regarded era in rock: THE DOORS' "Light My Fire" and "Riders on the Storm"; JANIS JOPLIN's "Piece of My Heart" and "Mercedes Benz"; JIMI HENDRIX masterpieces like "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady". Other rock classics include DEEP PURPLE's "Smoke on the Water", STEPPENWOLF's "Born to be Wild", "Layla" by DEREK AND THE DOMINOES, ROD STEWART's "Maggie May", as well as THREE DOG NIGHT's "One" and "Joy to the World", sung by Chuck Negron.

The second half of the show offers something never before attempted in the rock ‘n’ roll universe: LED ZEPPELIN and PINK FLOYD playing together. All their greatest songs are featured, including ZEPPELIN's "Whole Lotta Love", "Kashmir" and "Stairway to Heaven", as well as PINK FLOYD's "Money", "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2", "Wish You Were Here", "Comfortably Numb" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". This is a carefully crafted meeting of the titans — a loving vision of what might have been.
