From Classic Rock Revisited.com:

"Peter Gabriel revealed on his official website that he and the original member of Genesis are reuniting for the first time since 1975 to take part in an upcoming documentary.

The feature length documentary is being produced by the BBC and will include the participation of Gabriel, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford. A broadcast date for the film has not yet been announced.

Gabriel site had these details: From their first beginnings as a band of songwriters in the late 1960s to its final incarnation as a rock giant in the 1990s - via full-blown theatrical progressive rock in the mid-1970s and the subtler jazzy pop of the early 1980s - Genesis could perplex and enrage the die-hards, whilst exciting and exhilarating the newer disciples.

The film recounts an extraordinary musical story, exploring the band's songwriting as well as emotional highs and lows, alongside previously unseen archive material and rare performance footage across their entire career."

"On July 22 2014, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Live At Montreux 2013 by ZZ Top on DVD, Blu-ray and digital formats [Pre-book Order Date June 27, MSRP $19.98 Blu-ray, $14.98 DVD].

Live At Montreux 2013 is packed with classic ZZ Top hits including: “La Grange,” “Gimme All Your Lovin,’” “Pincushion,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Waitin’ For The Bus,” “Legs,” “Tube Snake Boogie,” “Tush,” and many more. The set list blends tracks from early seventies albums such as “Tres Hombres” and “Fandango” through their eighties blockbuster period with “Eliminator” and “Afterburner” and up to their most recent release and return to their blues roots with “La Futura.” The middle section of the concert features a jazz-blues tribute to the late Montreux Festival founder Claude Nobs with guest appearances by Mike Flanigin on Hammond Organ and Van Wilks on guitar.

With an unchanged line-up stretching back to 1969, ZZ Top continue to delight fans around the world with their instantly recognizable brand of blues-infused rock and unmatched live performances. Their iconic sound and image has earned the band (singer/guitarist/frontman Billy F Gibbons, bassist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard) global album sales in excess of 50 million and an induction in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Throughout their 40+ year career, the band has made a number of visits to Montreux over the years and this concert from the 2013 Festival is undoubtedly one of their finest live performances.

ZZ Top’s Live At Montreux 2013 represents that “lil’ ol’ band from Texas’ ” rip-roarin’ live energy – rocking the blues as strongly as ever!

Here's "Armorist," the first single from Overkill's new CD. Like AC/DC, Overkill basically records the same album over and over again. Their style hasn't changed in decades.

I like it.
