CACTUS To Release 'Live' DVD In December

September 27, 2007

MVD has set a December 11, 2007 release date for CACTUS' "Live" (cover),a DVD of the first live CACTUS performance in over 30 years. Filmed in June 2006 at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City, the hard-driving, boogie based, blues rock band took control of the stage from the first note, and never released its grip.

The original CACTUS (and VANILLA FUDGE) rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice — two names often celebrated more than the actual groups they were members of — along with guitarist extraordinaire Jim McCarty (MITCH RYDER AND THE DETROIT WHEELS) were joined by vocalist Jimmy Kunes, and Randy Pratt has been added on the harmonica.

Despite the 30-year hiatus, it feels like these guys never stopped playing together. Performances include many of the classic CACTUS songs such as "Evil", "One Way or Another" and the high-energy "Parchman Farm". Cuts from the newest album, "Cactus V" (2006),include "Muscle and Soul" and "Cactus Music". Bonus materials include footage from a backstage rehearsal and a photo gallery.
