Summer Sorcery Live

Professionally filmed and recorded before a sold out crowd at New York City’s historic Beacon Theatre on November 6th, 2019, the live concert extravaganza, "Summer Of Sorcery Live At The Beacon Theatre", expertly captures Little Steven bringing the house down with his band The Disciples Of Soul as they showcase their acclaimed 2019 album, "Summer Of Sorcery", a 12 track record about the first rush of summer and the electric feeling of unlimited possibilities.

With summer just around the corner, Van Zandt is pleased to announce the full 2½ hour concert, the triumphant hometown culmination of the Summer Of Sorcery’s European and US tours, will be released July 9th, 2021, via Wicked Cool Records and Universal Musicin a variety of formats including BluRay, a 3 CD set and as a limited edition 5 LP 180 gram Psychedelic Psorcery Pswirl color vinyl box set.

The live album, which was mixed by Bob Clearmountain and mastered by Bob Ludwig, both career long collaborators, includes thrilling performances of every song from "Summer Of Sorcery" alongside tracks from throughout Van Zandt’s solo career, songs he wrote for Southside Johnny, and some souped up covers.

Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul were joined throughout the Summer Of Sorcery tour by an array of legendary friends and family. "Summer Of Sorcery Live At The Beacon Theatre" is highlighted by a surprise appearance by the one and only Peter Wolf, who lends his inimitable vocals to powerhouse versions of J Geils Band’s “Freeze Frame” and Artists United Against Apartheid’s landmark protest anthem, “Sun City”.

"Summer Of Sorcery Live At The Beacon Theatre" is rounded out with nearly an extra hour of live music featuring 7 previously unreleased bonus performances recorded throughout 2017 to 2019, including with such superstar special guests as Australian music legends Jimmy Barnes and Peter Garrett, longtime friend and E Street Band bandmate Nils Lofgren, and the legendary Nick Gravenites, who joins Van Zandt for a spectacular rendition of the Electric Flag’s “Groovin’ Is Easy”. In addition, Peter Wolf returns for an explosive cover of The Showstoppers’ hit, “Ain’t Nothin’ But A Houseparty”, recorded during the Soulfire Tour but, according to Van Zandt was 'too good to leave on the shelf'.

The festivities come to a rousing conclusion with a star studded version of “Sun City”, which edits together performances with Jimmy Barnes, Jake Clemons, Sam Fender, Peter Garrett, Courtney Hadwin, Garland Jeffreys and Bruce Springsteen.
